Extension of the X-axes to 3600 mm
Extending the X-axis to 3600 mm, instead of the standard 1470 mm, drastically reduces changeover cycles, especially for long and medium length workpieces. This significant reduction in cycle time means that more components can be manufactured per shift

The two workpiece clamps, each driven by an independent servomotor, enable dynamic, uninterrupted workpiece movement during processing, except at the points of contact with the clamps.
Highlights:

• The precision ball bearings integrated into the clamp as stop points for the workpiece ensure optimum referencing of the components and edge-friendly transport
• 4-sided workpiece formatting with fully automatic chip removal on the clamp side
• No manual adjustment is necessary for formatting on the clamp side
• When the clamp is opened, the pneumatic stroke releases both the top and bottom sides of the workpiece. This prevents the workpiece from slipping during positioning and re-gripping during processing
• With a positioning speed of up to 90 m/min, changeover cycles and positioning movements are completed in no time at all
• The pneumatic clamping force of the workpiece clamp can be adjusted to suit a wide variety of material types using a control valve with pressure gauge, preventing damage of sensitive surfaces

The dowel aggregate in the X direction consists of two units. The dowel insertion unit is located on the drill head. The vibrator and the water and glue tanks are located inside the machine housing. The vibrating pot can be filled from the outside. The dowels can be inserted in the X direction +/-. The width of the dowels that can be used in the dowel unit is 8 mm. Permitted dowel lengths are 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm or 40 mm. The tolerance for the dowel length is +/-0.2 mm. In addition to traditional wooden dowels, swelling dowels can also be used, which are activated by adding water. Dimensional stability, storage and environmental conditions (e.g. humidity) contribute significantly to a stable result.

The router unit makes 4 sided formatting and cutouts in panels possible. The only requirement is that the workpiece  maintains its right angled shape along the outer edge.

The horizontal processing concept of the creator 1250 convinces at first glance. Even the heaviest workpieces can be processed easily in single person operation. Common transport supports such as the height-adjustable work table, Felder FAT 300/300 S/600 S, facilitate the material handling on both sides of the machine.

For the highest demands, all inclusive - tool library, programming section and an operator control panel on the machine with a consistent and intuitive user interface. F4®Integrate is a software developed by  Format4® Developed from practical experience for practical use in cooperation with our CNC customers, F4®Integrate meets the highest demands in modern CNC machining.

Enjoy the comfort of a state-of-the-art and well-coordinated user interface. Tool library (F4Toolbox), programming section (CAM area with integrated CAD area, F4Create) and machine operation control (F4Operate) all packed into just one single screen, with a consistent and intuitive user interface.

F4Integrate is based on G-Code, so external industry programs can be easily connected and the transfer of programs smoothly organised.

The 17-position linear changer offers sufficient space for a wide variety of tools and up to 4 aggregates, ensuring the shortest possible changeover times.

With a motor power of 9 and 12 kW and up to 24,000 rpm, the main motor is controlled using an inverter and is attached directly to the Z axis. Dual linear guides guarantee highly precise vertical guiding. The main motor is positioned using ground ball screws. The HSK F63 tool clamping is done automatically. The clamping of the tool is checked using sensors, which then confirm that it is safe to start the operation. The tool holder is cleaned pneumatically. The C-axis is optionally available as the fourth interpolating (360°) axis and has a compressed air interface for the units.

Regardless of whether the machine will only be used for cabinet manufacturing or as an all-rounder, you can decide which drilling head configuration is the right one for you. D17, DH25 or drill head with integrated tool holder for Lamello Clamex P tool available as an option. Inverter controlled motor up to 7,500 rpm.
