Used Grecon Dimter Opticut 704 for sale (351)

Condition: used, Grecon Dimter Opticut 704 Optimizing Saw An optimizing saw for demanding applications. A continuous chain transport system with a flexible upper clamping device, from the measuring station to the saw, ensures safe transport of wood that is tapering, twisted, heavily rough after sanding, and prone to splitting. A servomotor with a planetary gearbox provides very high acceleration due to its low moment of inertia. Waste is blown to the side in the cutting area. Thanks to its special design with an aluminum casting and a pneumatically controlled saw swing, very short cutting times are possible. Tsdpszvyk Sofx Al Uob The output is approximately 12,000–17,000 running meters per shift, with maximum cross-sections of the material being processed ranging from 100 × 100 mm to 30 × 250 mm.

Each milling machine is equipped with a clamping station, the trimming unit, and the milling unit. Either the second milling machine or both milling machines are equipped with a glue application system. The milling machines can be equipped with a scoring saw. Belts between the milling machines minimize package transport times, thus achieving a fast throughput. A pneumatic vibrating device in the clamping station ensures even alignment of the wood. Horizontal and vertical pressure devices clamp the package. The trimming unit is used to cut a reference edge on the workpiece. This reference edge determines the length of the respective dovetail tenon profile and can be adjusted. The dovetailing is carried out by the milling unit, followed by glue application via a side jet or roller applicator.

The packages of workpieces, which have been milled, are transferred from the milling table of the dovetail tenon milling machine to the conveyor belt of the transfer station and aligned flush with a stop. The aligned wood package is moved transversely to the infeed direction into the area of the turning device by the cross-feed unit. The separation of the wood package is carried out either directly onto the outfeed belt or by turning it 90 degrees and aligning it with a fixed edge. The discharge edge can be adjusted to the wood dimension. The separated wood is transported to the infeed station via a fast-moving conveyor belt. Technical data Power consumption 2.5 kW Compressed air volume 12 m³/h Feed speed 75 m/min Infeed station Infeed station Type: EKK 205 Infeed station with a side chain guide for transporting the separated pieces of wood.
