CNC Machining Centres for Timber construction area CNC Machining centre for building components Casern woodworking technology

CNC Machining centre for building components Area is the innovative CNC 5-Axis machining centre with a mobile gantry structure and modular composition for processing large timber construction elements, such as CLT/X-lam panels for walls, straight and curved structural beams. It allows machining of elements up to 4,5 m wide and 50 m long. Easy access to the worktable for effortless loading of the elements, thanks to the use of sliding tracks with a low vertical profile and reduced footprint. Effortless machining of very thick elements and use of sawblades up to 1020 mm diameter, with the specially...

technological advantages The machine design is based on a modular system that allows to customize the worktable length, ensuring processing of big-sized construction elements with extreme accuracy. The flexible worktable is equipped with a number of options allowing to refer and block elements of different shapes and sizes. Safety and cleanliness thanks to the full enclosed machining area and the innovative system allowing free access to the worktable even with the machine on duty.

area structure The solid and robust structure moves on precision rails with low vertical profile, to ensure high standards of accuracy and allowing the operator easy access to step over the worktable. The complete protection enclosure of the machining area gives the best results for a drastic reduction of dusts and noise. A large transparent window allows total control of operations. The design of the guide system is specific for this application and ensures a correct alignment of the structure and a high precision. Even possible misalignments, due to the movement of the flooring are automatically...

ergonomics Easy access to the worktable even when the machine is operating. The machine perimeter is completely controlled by photocell barriers that will slow down the gantry movement when the operator enters the machining area. Processing is not interrupted while the operator is near the worktable safely. Every detail has been designed with care, cleanliness of the machining area makes it safer and easier to operate. Practical and robust remote control with wireless technology to manage the main functions in full freedom of movement.

machining head unit Machining head unit and electrospindle are specially designed to perform all the operations required for the production of construction elements with heavy duty stock removal. The electrospindle, designed and built by SCM, develops a power of 30 kW at 6000 rpm, to be able to exploit power with tools of large dimensions and achieve a maximum rotation speed of 13000 rpm. Excellent performances that make the machine ideal for routing operations with heavy duty stock removal and profiling at high speed rotation, ensuring precision and perfect finish quality.

tool stores The tool store with up to 12 positions is designed to have on board all the tools necessary to complete the machining operations. Placed on the mobile gantry, it permits to have always available the right tool and to speed-up the execution time of the entire program. Dedicated positions for special aggregates: sawblade with up to 1020 mm diameter, chainsaw and planing aggregate.

area worktable The machine design is based on a modular system allowing to customize the size of the worktable up to 50 m along the X-axis, to meet all production needs. The structure of the worktable is anchored directly to the floor while the upper part is composed of material to be worked directly by the machine, in order to have a flat surface. It can be re-machined several times when surface gets scratched from use.

The worktable is designed to meet different needs. A number of options allow to refer and block elements of different shapes and sizes with safety and precision. Heavy duty reference system on the sides of the worktable, to properly accommodate panels with large dimensions. After the work piece positioning, the reference stops are automatically lowering, leaving all the sides of the piece free for further processing. The positioning of bulky and heavy elements such as CLT/X-lam panels might be awkward and difficult; the laser system simplifies this operation projecting the tool paths on the work...

The aggregate "chainsaw” allows to quickly realize: 90° openings, cutting with nesting technology, deep grooves and slots on all sides of the element. To cut elements up to 360 mm thick, it is possible to use a 1020 mm diameter sawblade with a dedicated suction hood. Thanks to the reduction of rpm, it is possible to exploit the electrospindle performances at the maximum and execute cuts quickly even on elements of high thickness. Planing aggregate equipped with a suction hood connecting to the suction system of the machine, to always keep the work area clean and visible.

The AREA project is designed to aim to two main goals: • Introduce innovative solutions to modernize the production cycle • Take full advantage of the new technology with a software that is really easy to manage. Maestro Beam&Wall, developed from the experience of SCM, allows to interface with the industry's best design CADs available on the market. With a few clicks, it is possible to switch from importing BTL files to running the work piece in the machine. It is not necessary to program the single elements, because Maestro Beam&Wall gets all the information from the CAD that designed the structure,...

CNC Machining centre for building components Axes Maximum recorded noise levels based on functioning parameters established by EN 848-3:2012. Acoustic pressure while working 80,7 dbA (measured according to EN ISO 11202:2010, K variance = 4dB) Acoustic power while working 97,7 dbA (mesured according to EN ISO 3746:2010, K variance = 4 dB). Despite the existence of a correlation between "conventional” noise emission values mentioned above and average personal exposure of the operators during the 8 hours, these also depend on the specific functioning conditions, length of exposure, acoustics characteristics...
