OMAL Velox 1300 Horizontal Bore/Dowel Machine

Base Design and Construction

OMAL machines are built for maximum durability. The frame is constructed with 10mm 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

ELCO Top 7 Touchscreen Interface

The Velox machine is equipped with a touchscreen HMI and user friendly software. Programmable dowel layout is managed by the editor software included on the HMI. Programs can be written parametrically 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 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 Velox 1300 is manufactured by OMAL under contract for SCM Group North America.

Machine Configuration

Drill-Glue-Dowel Reference:

The Velox 1300 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

The high pressure glue injection system insures a no-drip glue or water delivery system with electronic precision metering.

Z-Axis Adjustment for Varying Thicknesses

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. When needed, the Z axis adjustment includes a digital readout for a precise, quick changeover between material thickness.

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

The machine is equipped standard with a single drill and piggyback glue and dowel insertion unit.
