Omec FCN3 Automatic Dovetailer
![]() |
The five axis automatic milling machine with numerical control, OMEC FCN3, is designed to carry out dovetails on the front and the sides of drawers. The machine can simultaneously drill the sides for assembly the back of the drawers with pins and make holes on front pieces to assemble handles or finishing panels. The machine is equipped with two cutter units, two drilling heads to drill the sides of drawers and four drilling heads to drill the front pieces of drawers. The supply, clamping and unloading of pieces is fully automated during each cycle. The machine is also equipped with three storage containers to collect the pieces to the loaded and unloaded. |
Controls are provided both on the push button panel and on the control panel with numerical control. Model FCN3 is operated by a numerical control, which is programmed to guarantee maximum flexibility and allow changing, within the limits of each manufacturing cycle, the following variables:
| - dimensions of the pieces |
- insertion or removal of the drilling heads for the sides and front pieces of drawers |
| - pitch of indents | - cutting speed and tool feeding |
| - number of indents | - compensation of the tool radius variation |
| - depth of indents | - position and depth of the holes on the sides |
| - position of indents | - position and depth of the holes on the front pieces |
