Description:

The Compact NT is an affordable through-feed moulder ideal for small to mid-sized cabinet and millwork shops. The Compact NT combines precise planing and moulding of architectural mouldings, cabinet components and furniture parts in one pass. SCM Group’s "Quick Set" setting system provides fast, accurate and easy change over from one job to the next. Our factory trained technicians will have you producing high quality mouldings in no time.

MACHINE BASE:

The machine bed is of thick steel with a strongly ribbed structure and monobloc steel supporting base. The sturdiness and weight of the base along with the heavy-duty cast iron motor mounts, which are mounted directly on the base, reduce vibrations and guarantee life-long, constant, high quality performance.

“SET-UP” SYSTEM:

This exclusive SCM system ensures simple, rapid adjustment and retooling. The top horizontal and right and left-vertical spindles are fitted with the "SET-UP" system to set up the machine in a single operation. Just set the minimum tool diameter (in the case of the top horizontal spindle) and immediately the cutting tool, the working height, the front and rear pressers and the feed rollers are adjusted simultaneously. Other companies require 4-6 different adjustments!

WORKTABLES:

The infeed table of tubular steel has a parallelogram system vertical adjustment with a hardened insert in correspondence to first planer spindle. Worktables are of hardwearing cast iron with a low friction coefficient and fitted with mobile inserts in correspondence to the vertical spindles for smaller cutting circles.

FENCES:

The parallelogram infeed fence is adjustable widthwise and the reference engraver fitted to the surface planer guarantees perfect pre-straightening of work-piece. Right fences easily adjust to optimum position according to tool diameter.

SPINDLES:

The ground surface of the tool holder spindles ensures hard wearing face area, while the 100 mm (4”) diameter cylinder housing spindle guarantees stiffness and high precision machining.



FEED SYSTEM:

The beam, which supports the feed system, is of a thick, ribbed structural steel with powered vertical adjustment. Direct transmission and pneumatic pressure of feed rollers enables optimal feed and a motorized roller placed on outfeed table further improves feed when required for some particular jobs. Feed shafts and feed rollers are of steel with a ground surface.

POSITIONING OF WORKING UNITS:

All adjustments of working groups are controlled from the front of the machine with mechanical decimal readout of their position including separate readouts for the work-piece width and thickness.



ERGONOMICS:

All controls are placed on the front of the machine to enable easy access and use. The safety enclosure is sound proofed to reduce noise and dust and at the same time enables a clear view of machine operations. The sound enclosure is made of heavy-duty thick steel.

Machine Features:

  • Full Guard Enclosure with safety micro-switch
  • PATENTED “Set-Up Superset System" a Patented System to make tool changeover incredibly fast and easy. Other systems require 4 to 6 more adjustments than this unique patented system.
  • 4 serrated feed rollers before top horizontal
  • Rubber coated feed rollers after top horizontal spindle
  • Idle roller in out-feed table
  • Jog push-button on out-feed side of machine
  • Simultaneous adjustment of feeding system and top horizontal spindle for prompt and easy set- up.
  • Mechanical digital readout indicators of working height and width
  • Mechanical digital readouts on all critical spindle adjustments radial and axial
  • Receding chip-breaker design on top horizontal spindle hood fabricated of solid reinforced steel
  • Left vertical spindle with front presser and out-feed guide fence
  • Fence simultaneously adjustable with left spindle vertically adjustable
  • All controls and adjustments mounted on front operator side
  • Side pressure roller in front of left vertical spindle
  • Service spanners
