Infeed rollers
The infeed rollers are suspended in place, ensuring that they lift gently when working with a large depth of cut.
"Digi-Drive“
Enter the required dimension, press Start and the thicknesser table will move precisely to the required position. Set and actual values are displayed on LED displays. Additional optional functions, such as incremental position and four programmable thicknesser table positions are available.
“Power-Drive”
Turn the control knob for quick adjustment, and push the button for fine adjustment. The LED display clearly shows the actual value.
Feed rate
Standard: Variable feed speed of between 5–20 m/min. Whether its a perfect finish or quick thickness calibration that is required, the correct feed speed can always be set to match.
Outstanding stability and long-lasting precision
4 trapezoidal spindles guarantee exact adjustment precision and ensure maximum thicknessing bed load. Longitudinal guides integrated into the side of the machine chassis absorb the pressure that is put on the outfeed side and ensure that the thicknessing table is guided with an accuracy of a tenth of a millimetre.
Adjustable under table rollers
Optional integrated adjustable rollers are available for processing workpieces with high resin or moisture content.
Table extension
Increased comfort: Stable table extensions with workpiece roller on the outfeed side.
Height-adjustable scissor table
An optional 1150 mm adjustable height scissor table is available
