Structure and Function
•
The machine has a heavy, well-shaped construction and meets all the requirements of modern wood pro-
cessing.
•
The large-surface machine stand guarantees a safe stand and vibration-free running.
•
The thicknessing table is quadruple-guided and, as a special request, equipped with two adjustable, ball-
bearing table rollers (see section
12).
•
The height of the thicknessing table is adjusted by an electric motor via position controller unit (refer to
section
11). The exact height is entered as a setpoint and automatically positioned at
“
Start.
•
The surface planing tables are heavily ribbed for a secure support. The long version is equipped with
asymmetrical table lengths and serrated table lips. The height of the infeed table (chip removal) is adjust-
ed via an electromotor. The chip removal is shown on a digital display.
•
The fence in a smooth-running roller guide on the delivery table can be quickly adjusted across the entire
table width. It can also be tilted from 0° to 45° with an adjusting lever.
•
The safety cutter block is equipped with a four-knife shaft that is dynamically balanced and runs in special
ball bearings. Other cutter types are optionally available (see section
•
The feed rate for thickness planing is provided by a pole-changing three-phase motor. The feed rates of 7
and 14 m/min. can be set during work by means of a rotary switch. An infinitely variable feed rate from 3
to 24 m/min is available as an option (see section
•
The two suction nozzles for surface planing and joining are firmly built into the machine.
•
The suction nozzle for thicknessing is located behind the surface planing fence. When changing over to
surface planing, the fence must be pushed forward.
•
The machine is driven by a three-phase motor with an electric, wear-free motor brake. It has a central
circuit with push-button and motor protection switch.
•
All switches (main switch, cutter block ON/OFF with electronic soft start, two-stage feed switch and the
push-buttons for height adjustment) are located within easy reach on the operating side, depending on
the work sequence.
•
The protective devices comply with the regulations of the German “Employer's Liability Insurance Associa-
tion for Wood”.

Advantages & Special Features of the Machine
The 546|100 machine allows up to 5 mm chip removal when surface planing and up to 8 mm chip removal
when thicknessing on the full planing width of 630 mm.
The most significant advantage of the machine is that it does not have to be converted to switch between sur-
face planing and thicknessing, because the planing tables do not have to be folded up. In addition, the protec-
tive cover, which is normally used for thicknessing, is also not required.
Another advantage is that the machine can be used in combination. To do this, the surface planing fence is
pushed to half the planing width of 315 mm (with locking device). This divides the working area. Surface plan-
ing & jointing can be carried out on the front 315 mm and, in the opposite direction, thicknessing can be car-
ried out on the rear cutter block side.
