The main problem facing entrepreneurs now is the lack of labour, and the wood industry is no exception. One solution to this problem may be technology and retrofitting. There is a large supply of increasingly efficient machines for almost all production profiles. Manufacturers are keeping up with the times, and it is now hard to find high-performance and efficient machines that do not have built-in artificial intelligence. An example of a machine that does a lot in a short time, assisted by a single operator, is Point K2 Top, from Vitap, distributed in Romania by Accesoria Group. It is The CNC that won first prize in the Panel Processing category at Xylexpo this year (panel processing) being the only machine that can process all 4 sides plus the bottom face of the panel in one process, without intermediate interventions or operator settings.
Why would you choose a Point K2 Top?
From the outset it should be said that the machine is aimed at those who process furniture panels or those who make furniture components such as doors of various sizes or drawer fronts. It is a CNC compact and adaptable, designed for these times when no one can afford to stock up and the market is constantly evolving and changing.
Point K2 Top is at home in any small, medium or large panel factory. A small or medium-sized factory generally has problems with storage space, number of employees and budget. The machine replaces the work of a few people, and only one person is needed to operate it. By working with pre-cut panels the machine can easily be fed by the same operator.
For large factories it is a way to save money, but also to gain flexibility. The machine provides very good productivity without the maintenance and handling costs of large CNCs. By equipping the factory with this CNC, changes in the production profile will be introduced much more easily, making the factory more dynamic, flexible and adaptable to change.
What does the Point K2 Top CNC do?
The manufacturer presents it as 4 machines in one. It's a compact CNC that mills, cuts, drills and cuts to a template and can do it all at the same time. Let's see what it's strengths were that it won the grand prize in its category:
- optimises the cutting of panels horizontally, both lengthwise and widthwise
- drill on 5 sides and groove (make grooves) lengthwise (on x-axis)
- mills on 4 edges + bottom surface of panel
- cut according to the template by cutting the panel according to the shapes desired by the customer.
Basically it has all the advantages of the Nesting system and has no limit in terms of horizontal hole execution. The operations are done simultaneously, which reduces production time considerably. In the video at the end you will see how all the holes, cuts and millings needed to make a box are done in just 4 minutes. Everything fits together perfectly because the hole sizes are determined with a laser system.
Advantages compared to a regular CNC or a Nesting CNC
The CNC is equipped with a unique workpiece clamping system that sets it apart from other existing CNCs. It is a patented Vitap system called D-D-T (Double Dynamic Transport). This is a system with 2 clamps that support the material while it is being processed for seamless operation. This saves the time it takes to prepare parts for drilling or milling. The system allows specialised software to optimise work cycles in the same way as a CNC nesting machine, with the added advantage of not having to move parts to be drilled horizontally.
An advantage arising from the above is thatvacuum pumps are no longer needed to fix the plates which saves money and energy.
Feeding operations are carried out without time to prepare the parts, at the same time as other milling or drilling operations.
Another advantage is working with pre-cut parts. They are much easier to handle so you don't need more than one person to power the machine. Also, a pre-cut part can be partially used and then stored for use on another order.
Any kind of horizontal hole can be madethere is virtually no limit.
Working with pre-cut panels also has the advantage that, in most cases,no need to cut to be brought to size but only drilling, milling and feeding operations are done.
An economical car in many ways
Point K2 Top is presented by the manufacturer as a CNC with which you can save in many ways. You can:
- time saving because they work fast, performing several operations at the same time
- space saving because it is a compact machine
- money saving because the lack of pumps and other equipment makes the price, both for purchase and for maintenance and operation, lower
- economy of nerves because it is simple to program and easy to work with a simple operating system.
