EM INTERMEDIATE PRODUCTION END-MATCHER
With a capacity of 8 to 10 thousand board feet per shift,
based on feed stock 2.25 inch x 36 inches, the End-Matcher
Model EM is designed for end-matching of strip flooring in a
mid-sized volume production environment.
This system includes a traverse bar conveyor of 21 feet long by 5 feet
wide. Bar spacing is available at 12" or 8" center to center.
The basic system is powered by a 3 HP variable speed main drive (20 to
60 feet per minute) and is equipped with independent tongue and groove
machining centers laid out on opposite sides of the transport table.
Tongue and groove machining centers are equipped with a squaring
saw** 12” in diameter. The tongue station features a bottom and a top
groover** 10” in diameter, while the groove station features a groover**
10” in diameter. The 5 squaring saws and groovers are powered by 3
HP arbor motors. When entering either one of the machining centers,
material is pushed up against the hold-down press foot for justification
with respect to the top of the board.
Material is placed between the traverse bars at the infeed end of the
machine. While random length pieces are brought forward, material is
positioned by perpendicular roller conveyors ahead of both machining
centers. A third roller conveyor takes care of lateral outfeed. Roller
conveyors are 24” wide and are imbedded into the transport table. The
system is also equipped with a motorised pinch roller to re-align pieces
longer than 60 inches, prior to the second machining center.
