SHOW REPORT Busellato and Casadei at Technodomus SHOWING jointly at the Italian Technodomus exhibition at Rimini with Casadei in April, Busellato displayed a broad and largely redesigned range of CNC workcentres. Many of the workcentre options have been re-engineered to better address the needs of the current generation of smaller, independent panel and joinery shops, according to UK distributor IWM, whose managing director, Ian Brown, attended the show for 2010. Busellato launched its new Jet Star 5 entry-level CNC workcentre, which offers very simple configuration of a highly flexible 2,486 x 1,256 mm panel nesting table plus new automatic tool pre-setting for full optimisation of cutting depths. Technical pre-launch research for the new Jet Star 5 by Busellato has led to the development of some new features for improved working of timber and panels on this new generation of CNC workcentre systems, which can now be equipped with full automatic panel handling at both infeed and outfeed stages. Jet Optima C21 by Busellato was shown with a re-designed machine frame to further reduce overall dimensions for use in smaller factories and craftsman workshops. New QinX operating software introduces full five-axis working Busellato and Casadei showed jointly at Technodomus in 2010. New from Busellato is the Jet Star 5, a 5 x axis entry level workcentre. on an entry-level machine. The very versatile Jet Optima has been reborn for the production of doors, windows and furniture on today’s smaller and more agile joinery shop floors. The new Jet Optima C21 shown at Technodomus was equipped with two five-position fixed tool changers on one side of the machine in addition to the 10-position auto changer on the beam plus an additional double tool changer position for bigger and heavier work-pieces. Increased tool storage now available makes the Jet Optima C21 quicker and easier to reset and to switch more quickly from panel to door or solid wood machining — ideal upgrades for today’s smaller batch working needs. IWM’s Ian Brown also reports a new spindle moulder model from Casadei launched under the model type F 235 A (for automatic) with fixed spindles and full numeric controls. The machine is equipped with new computer controls and an LCD screen for working in all axes on the machine in standard form. The new model at the exhibition was equipped with two controlled axes plus automatic spindle fence positioning in relation to cutter-head diameter and spindle height settings. The new ‘Rapid’ table was launched on the F 235 A at the show and features a suspended swing arm to enable quicker and more efficient working of the spindle fence — this is now part of the standard specifiation of the machine, which features fully controlled axes. Alternative models of Casadei’s new spindle moulder are also equipped with electro-spindles and inverters so that cutter-head rotation speeds can be auto - matically computer-numerically controlled.

SHOW REPORT Technical innovation by SCM at Technodomus SCM Group UK had booked over 120 customers and staff on flights to see SCM Group’s latest machine innovations at the Technodomus Exhibition in Rimini. But then came the Icelandic Volcano Saga and therefore all flights were cancelled from the UK. However, SCM UK’s managing director, Gabriele de Col, did manage to obtain a flight and attend the last two days of the show. He comments, “It was very disappointing after all the time and effort put in to organise the visits, as everyone was looking forward to a successful experience. However, when I eventually arrived at the SCM Group stand at the Rimini Fiera, I was very impressed. The stand was magnificent, probably the best machinery stand I have ever seen, with a superb presentation of the Group’s huge product range and the latest technological advances that have been made during the recent re-organisation.” Some of the many innovative machines exhibited at Technodomus by the SCM Group are described below. The L’Invincibile SI 6500 Sliding Table Panel Saw features a 150 mm cutting height with new micrometric adjustment for the stops complete with LCD readout and a new stops locking device for the cutting of solid wood with edges. The machine composition includes Ultracut optimisation software and cutting sequence management, a wireless squaring fence with three LCD readouts for stop positions linked via wireless technology and a ‘Full Support’ mobile frame for angular cutting. See our Saws feature on page 20 for more information. New automatic planer moulders introduced included the Superset NT PL composition 5 (above). This is a 5-spindle automatic throughfeed moulder of the latest generation for planing and profiling of door components. It guarantees high flexibility and ease of use thanks to an electronic control with touch-screen display. HSK 85S tool chucks enable high flexibility and optimum finishing quality. The main features include vertical tool holder spindles with HSK technology, MOBILE 10 electronic control, electronic axes for working unit positioning and a work piece return system. The Superset NT PL is perfect for window and door components, shaped beads and mouldings. The Olimpic K 800 T-R2 edge bander is completely electronically controlled, so has the Orion 110 control system available as a standard feature on all versions (StarTouch optional feature), an inline trimming unit with two vertical working positions, a rounding unit with two motors and four working positions (ABS+ three different thin thicknesses), a nebuliser for the edge finishing and a glue scraper derived from the higher level machine models.Advantages include a sturdy and reliable industrial type structure and base, increased productivity thanks to the 11 or 16 m/min panel feed speed, also when rounding, and integration into the NetLine process, which manages the design, the programming and the furniture production in all machining. The Olimpic K800 can edge band panels up to 60 mm thick and with an 8 mm edging thickness, which can be increased to 12 mm. The tenacity and expertise of the SCM Group research and development team resulted in the development of a series of new solutions, all concentrated on the Accord range (illustrated below). The new design increases precision and flexibility, reduces down times and makes the machining centre very simple to use. Accord 40 has a new mobile gantry-style structure, which allows greater machining precision. The new machining heads are powerful and reliable, with from three to five interpolating axes, their performance catering for any production requirements. There are new chainstyle tool magazines able to hold up to 48 large tools, with a ‘changer shuttle’ which allows Accord to change the tool in just five seconds. Manual, guided or automatic, the new bar table is easy to use, with extremely fast set-up times. It can be configured to use suction cups or clamps to lock down any type of work piece, always maintaining maximum locking safety levels. The big new feature of the Accord 40 is that all of the hold-down supports (suction cups or clamps) are independently driven, allowing great flexibility during use. Last but not least, to protect the operator and guarantee low environmental impact, systems for protection and shavings recovery were designed for all of the machining heads and tools.
