MILLING MACHINE
INVESTING ON
VERSATILITY
The standard features of fixed-pitch milling
machines only partly meet the versatility that is
required in the modern production of drawers for
the furniture industry.
Due to the fixed-pitch feature, the user is obliged
to adjust the height of side panels and frontpieces depending on pitch, in order not to
manufacture parts ending with incomplete joints. It
is also necessary to adjust the tool’s feeding
speed in order to adapt it to all types of wood or
wood by-products (plywood, MDF, strips, etc.),
and this is a problem when the manufacturing
needs are connected with a wide range of
products and production lots.
joints of different heights. The "750CN" machine
can process male pieces and female pieces both
separately and in a combined mode.
Pieces are locked and unlocked manually by
means of specially designed pneumatic valves.
Eight pneumatic cylinders guarantee the locking
operation safely.
The CNC system is designed to offer the
maximum machining versatility and allows users
to vary the pitch, number and depth of joints, as
well as cutting speed, tool feed and tool diameter
variation (this feature is used to adjust with a
simple operation the coupling of male-to-female
joints and to sharpen tools several times before
replacing it).
All machining data can be entered with a simple
procedure by following the software instructions
viewed on the machine's monitor. The monitor is
equipped with an integrated Windows® CE
operating system.
The Omec company is aware of the demands of
the market, and has exploited the previous
experience acquired with the F11CN and FCN3
milling machines to design a totally electronic
version of this machine:
This machine uses tools of different diameter
(from 6 to 14 millimetres) in order to manufacture
small size and large size joints.
Parallel joints can be manufactured using
cylindrical milling cutters. It is also possible to fit
integral Widia tools or tools with diamond coating
This model is equipped with a spindle unit and a
milling cutter that can be used to manufacture
