Last year in September I was telling you about Creator 950, a CNC for drilling and milling that introduces you to computer-aided woodworking in a simple and user-friendly way. Not a year later, the same Creator 950 wins the award for the most revolutionary product of the year at one of the prestigious international trade fairs - International Woodworking Fair (IWF) Atlanta, USA. Let's see what IWF Atlanta means and how it convinced the jury Felder Gruppe - Creator's Creator 950 (inevitable pun, isn't it 🙂 ).
International Woodworking Fair, Atlanta, Geogia
IWF Atlanta - International Woodworking Fair - is one of the most important trade fairs in the world. It is attended by all the major manufacturers of machinery and tools for woodworking and derived boards and all the representatives of industries that are in one way or another connected with woodworking and furniture production. The fair is held every two years in August and is considered a meeting place for specialists, a place to showcase the latest ideas in the industry, but also a place to discuss and exchange ideas.
On the occasion of the fair, the following prizes are awardedChallengers Award®The award is designed to encourage and promote the development of innovative technologies in the field of woodworking machinery, products and services. Companies that believe they bring something new to their field enter their product in the competition and a 10-member jury of recognised professionals and experts in advanced technologies chooses the finalists.
The final showdown takes place the day before the fair opens, when the finalists perform live demonstrations in front of the judges in an attempt to win the prize. After the presentations, the jury debates and the winners are chosen. The highlight is on the opening day of the fair when the winners are announced in the presence of guests, participants and visitors. They receive a bronze statuette, already famous among those connected in one way or another with woodworking.
This year 72 companies entered the competition and 23 finalists were chosen. Of these only 7 received the "Challengers Distinguished Achievement" awardand one of them was Felder Gruppe, for the Creator 950 CNC.
What convinced the jury Creator 950
Creator 950 is part of the Format-4 find range of CNC machining centressimple and intuitive. For this reason it is considered to be very suitable to get acquainted with the field of computer-aided processing. With it, drilling and milling becomes much easier, as it is possible to machine simultaneously on all 4 sides of the panel. And all in 5 m² onlyhow much the car takes up.
The fact thatno preparatory operations are needed to start processing leads to reduced working time. It only takes one operator to do all the drilling and milling needed, which is very important when the lack of skilled labour has already become a big problem for the vast majority of contractors. In addition, the machine does not get tired, does not make mistakes and does not get bored, the quality of the machining is always the same.
The accuracy of processing is guaranteed by unique top-down processing system. The concept of processing the piece horizontally in 3/4 axes is one of the arguments that convinced the jury. Thus, even the heaviest parts can be easily machined by one person.
Workfield no longer needs to be selected. The workpiece is clamped with 2 sturdy pneumatically operated clamps that move with the rack and pinion mechanism that guides the workpiece. For sensitive surfaces, the Creator 950 is equipped with a air cushion table.
With Creator 950 you can always stay flexible in applications, optionally using the aggregates you need. The CNC does notching and boring on all sides, planing and milling in cant. You can opt for the unit you need to do the operation you want without having to have the others.
Optionally, the Creator 950 can be equipped with a automatic unit for fast and accurate insertion of strains. It acts on the X-axis, on which the panel moves, by inserting stumps on both sides of the X-axis (left - right).
Creator 950 - also present at BIFE SIM 2018
"The next step for your business", under this slogan presented Felder Gruppe Romania The stand dedicated to industrial machinery at BIFE-SIM 2018. In the stand visitors discovered the industrial solutions from the Format-4 range for furniture production. Among them, the Creator 950 was in pride of place. Throughout the fair it could be seen in action, with those interested having access to further technical information thanks to the company's specialists on the stand in large numbers.
Felder Gruppe Romania tells us that the industrial solutions in the Format-4 range provide the three factors necessary for sustainable business development - productivity, flexibility and precision to the tenth of a mm. And the Creator 950 is no exception.
Congratulations Felder Gruppe on your award in Atlanta!
