OTF Machine Description

Our dowel insertion machine is a horizontal point to point machining center designed for boring, gluing, and doweling.

The OTF bore and dowel machine is designed to belt position the workpiece to the drill, then belt position to the dowel inserter, inject glue or water (for pre-glued dowels), and insert the dowel into the hole, providing a cycle time of less than 1 second for each bore, glue and dowel insertion when the holes are spaced at 64 mm intervals.

Standard Operation

A part is placed into the work zone referencing the back fence. The workpiece is then fed into the belt and roller system to be processed. The belt allows continuous feeding of parts.

The OTF is typically used to perform the following operations:

Horizontal Boring
Glue Insertion
Dowel Insertion

Touchscreen Interface

A 15″ Industrial Color Touchscreen is used to write and store programs.

The 15″ touch screen monitor makes viewing the specific parameters of a program easy.

OPERATOR INTERFACE SCREEN

The on-screen graphics of the operator interface have been designed to allow for quick programming at the machine. Typically, programs can be written and recalled in less than one minute. The Interface is open architecture allowing it to integrate with design software that can give hole locations in the form of a .xml file or a bar code (with bar code reader purchase found in options).

Standard Features in the software include:

1. Graphic interface to show where holes are to be drilled and if a dowel is to be inserted.
2. Parametric Programming.
3. Pattern Drilling/Inserting.
4. Password protection of certain features/functions.
5. Online diagnostic capability (if machine is connected to an internet connection).
6. Toggle between Metric or Imperial programing parameters.

Note: Image may not necessarily depict final Operator Interface and is only used as an example of an Operator Interface Screen.

OTF MAINTENANCE SCREEN

A Maintenance Screen gives you the ability to manage inputs, outputs and machine offsets.

From this screen you can manually trigger all outputs as well as visually see if the machine is seeing the inputs correctly. You also set the machine parameters that are not as communally used such as fence and spindle offsets from this screen.

Because this screen is password protected you can be selective with who you grant access to it.
