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
.
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-
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
Design features include three heavy duty high frequency spindle
motors mounted to a carriage which pivots from 0 to 3 degrees to
match door bevel. Two of the motors are 7-1/2 HP, which rotate in
opposite directions.
KVAL
software automatically chooses the cor-
rect router to eliminate chipping the door faces or edges. Maxi-
mum depth with these heads is 4-1/2” deep. The third head is a
12HP motor with a 7/8” solid carbide bit to rout pockets or drill
holes up 5-1/2” deep. 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.
