• Minimum 15mm (.590”)

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. Cast iron spindle collars and feed roller pendulums further enhance the machine stability and performance

* Simplicity eliminates “trial and error” setups *

This is a patented system unique to SCM. This system ensures maximum efficiency and simplicity in changing from one profile to the next.

All spindles are fitted with "SET UP", the quick set-up system that enables most of the machine elements to be set in only one movement. By setting the minimum diameter of the tool (when dealing with a top horizontal spindle), the tool, working thickness, front and rear pressures and feed rollers are simultaneously adjusted. Only SCM has this Patented feature to increase productivity and eliminate downtime. Other moulder setting systems require 4-6 different adjustments to SCM’S 1 adjustment! You’re running product ($$$) before they even can finish the tool set-up!

• For use under normal conditions, the first top spindle is set 4mm higher than second spindle (rough cut and finishing operations)
• When machining a new workpiece with a different thickness, both spindles move simultaneously, keeping the 4mm difference between the two spindles
• When changing tools, the mechanical digital indicator for the respective spindle must be changed to reflect the new minimum diameter of the cutterhead
• To change the alignment between the two top spindles, change the readings for the first spindle and the outfeed pressure shoe
• To use only the first spindle, remove the tool from the second spindle and set the readout to “0”

The in-feed worktable has a parallelogram system vertical adjustment complete with hardened insert placed before the planer spindle. Worktables are of wear resistant special cast iron with a low friction coefficient and are equipped with inserts in front of the vertical spindles. The table plates are separate from the vertical dovetail slide-ways which provide a better reference and wear area.

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

The spindle surfaces are hardened to avoid wear and are fitted with three precision matched bearings. The 120mm (4.750”) diameter steel spindle cylinder ensures maximum stability and precision even during heavy duty machining. The maximum working width of 240mm (9.44”) is supported by an 11.500” length spindle housing ensuring stability for wider profile widths.

* Consistent feeding of stock *

The beam, which supports the feed system is supported by two vertical lifting posts and is powered by a lifting motor, which is combined with the top horizontal spindle. The beam is automatically positioned via two 30mm diameter jack screws to any new tooling diameter. Feed rollers are Cardan Shaft driven by a set of hardened gears with oil bath lubrication (rear end) and universal drive joints, guaranteeing maximum reliability and constant feed even during heavy duty machining.

The feed rollers are pneumatically pressurized with triple circuit control (roller before planer, between planer and top horizontal spindles, and after second top horizontal spindle) enabling optimal feed in accordance with the work piece to be processed. Feed speed is continuously adjustable from the operator’s position through a variable speed gear. Two powered rollers, placed one before second top horizontal spindle and the other after last bottom horizontal spindle, improve feed especially during heavy duty machining. Spindles and feed rollers are of steel with hardened chromed surfaces with optimum penetration through the wood.

AUTOMATIC FEED SYSTEM ALIGNMENT WITH TOP HORIZONTAL SPINDLES:

• Under normal working conditions, the feed rollers are aligned with the minimum diameter of the tool (i.e., the pressure shoes).
• When machining batches with considerable thickness variation, the steel feed rollers can be lowered in order to optimize the feeding. Once the work has been completed, simply turn the switch to re-align the rollers.
• To remove a jammed workpiece from the machine, the steel rollers can be raised without moving the top spindle or the pressure shoes. Once the workpiece has been removed, simply turn the switch to re-align the rollers.

RECEDING CHIPBREAKER:

The pressure shoe placed in front of the top horizontal spindles is equipped with parallelogram movement and pneumatic pressure adjustment.

The adjustment of head units is controlled from the front of the machine with mechanical decimal readouts for each spindle adjustment (radial and axial) to .001”. The readout display of work piece width and thickness section is done by mechanical decimal indicators that are placed on the front side of the machine. These are separate from the other readouts, providing a high accuracy of the wood width and thickness position of the left and top spindle.

All the controls are placed on the front side of the machine in an optimal position for easy access and use. The integral safety enclosure reduces noise and dust, guaranteeing a full view of the machine at the same time. The entire sound enclosure is of heavy steel with sound insert padding to reduce the noise level to CE standards and provide a safety barrier.
