Overview of the Edge-SS System
The Edge-SS is a computer-controlled router designed to machine architectural doors for Edge
Cuts. Many customers also use the Edge for re-railing & re-stiling operations
.
Examples of diverse cuts:
• hinge pockets
• T-strikes
• concealed closures
• flush bolts, leaf and Euro-
pean hinges
• end pivots
• as well as edge work for
either cylindrical or deep
pocket locks
A Door Touch-off system is used to automatically accurately determine the length of the door
from the '0' or the fixed stop on the left end of the Edge-SS. With this system, both left and right
hand doors are positioned against the same stop. The machining head automatically adjusts to the
correct position based on the door hand selection that is entered. This system also increases pro-
ductivity by eliminating extra door clamping steps and reduces the chance of positioning errors.
Note: Minimum sensing range for door touch off is 14". For doors less than 14" wide
the exact width will need to be manually measured and entered into the Edge -SS
AC servomotors, precision rack and pinion and ball screw drives are used for X, Y and Z travel.
The X axis travel is 130", the Y axis travel is 20" and Z axis travel is 9-1/2". For control, our ergo-
nomically located electrical panel contains an industrial Windows compatible computer con-
Design features include high frequency spindle motors mounted
to a carriage which pivots from 0 to 3 degrees to match door
bevel. Two of the motors rotate in opposite directions.
Kval software automatically chooses the cor r ect router to
eliminate chipping the door faces or edges.
The third head rout pockets or drill holes
.
An optional 3HP motor is available with a short shank for fast
routing of face plates and hinges, and this makes an ideal head
for diamond tooling.
