Product Details

Base Design and Construction

OMAL machines are built for maximum durability. The frame is constructed with 10 mm thick tubular steel which is internally welded and gusseted every 400mm for strength and rigidity. It is then heat treated and cooled slowly to make a stress-free, reliable machine.


Machine Operation

TPA Software - Wood System Control

OMAL utilizes Wood System by TPA as the software interface for the machine. The user friendly software makes the machine extremely versatile. The machine is equipped with a full PC interface used for writing and storing programs. Programs can be written parametrically, can include IF/THEN conditional statements, and are generated using graphical icons (drill, glue, dowel check boxes). The selection of the offset of tools for inserting and for operations on different left and right hand references is automatic.


The machine is programmable in the X, Y and Z axis and equipped with precision brushless motor, ball nut and ball screw for quick positioning. The movement of the carriage is on linear rails with square guides.


The software has a list manager that allows different parts to be run in each field and to control the production sequence. Lists can be saved for future reference plus the machine can be controlled by bar code list and/or program names.


The HBD 1300 OF is manufactured by OMAL under contract for SCM Group.


Machine Configuration

Drill-Glue-Dowel Reference:

The HBD 1300 OF Horizontal Bore, Glue, and Dowel machine is a numerically controlled machine to drill, glue and insert dowels on horizontal pieces with FOUR loading zones. Cycle time of approximately ONE second for each bore, glue, and dowel insertion when holes are on 64 mm intervals


Excludable SIDE and CENTER Fence

The machine is equipped standard with a single drill and piggyback glue and dowel insertion unit with standard set up for 8mm dowels. The selection of the loading zone (left, left center, right center, or right) is executed by CNC. Open Frame configuration with central and side references excludable for large panels. This means that you can process up to an 8' panel using alternate referencing


Glue and Dowel Injection Unit

The dowel insertion revolver holds a dowel while a dowel is inserted plus checks via fiber optic sensor to see if next dowel is present to prevent misfeeds. The OMAL "SURE SHOT" revolver system guarantees a dowel is inserted every time

Auto-Start Cycle

With the auto-start and bench sensors enabled the machine is totally automatic. The laser will measure the part and populate the program list for the part width. The parametric program will calculate all the dowel locations for the part based on bracketing width and 32 mm multiple from front edge. The sensors for automatic cycle start the machine once the panel is in the right location. The operator just has to load the machine


Width LASER sensor to automatically measure width of panel and calculate number of dowels based on a template file. Template file can be modified from the list. (Laser tolerance subject to edge integrity, straight edge +/- 0.2mm). Sensor for automatic cycle start, one sensor for each zone, 4 fields per machine, start delay programmable.


SpotLight 1300, visual work zone indicator for operator load sequence. The light bar is mounted across the work bench for the operator to immediately identify the work-piece to load in the working zone. The SpotLight is controlled by the PLC to give optic reference of the size of part to load. Based on the list of programs running the SpotLight 1300 takes away the operator's need to refer to the controller by displaying the light in sequential order.
