CNC Aggregates used for Insertion & Glueing of Dowels In Light Weight Panels

For many applications, new, light weight panel technology is being used considered because it provides both high stability and light weight for ease of handling. However, the insertion and glueing of dowels can be a tedious and time consuming process.

We've solved this with automatic insertion and gluing of dowels or other fasteners with our ATEMAG CNC router Aggregate head.

The new ATEMAG system can be used for panel thicknesses of 18 mm through 50 mm, and for different dowel lengths. Fasteners are inserted evenly with the surface and glued in with accurately dispensed amounts of glue.

The insertion process is very accurate, and the panel surface is not damaged in any way. Most importantly, there are no visible pressure marks left on the surface.

The hole does not have to be dust free, because the dowel or fastener will not touch the bottom.

Generally, any CNC machine with c-axis and compressed air connection can be used with the new ATEMAG high performance aggregates. Contact TechniksUSA with questions or to get a quote on how we can retrofit your machine with one of our units. Here's a look at how the unit works.

Challengers Award WINNER!

The purpose of the Challengers Distinguished Achievement Award® is to encourage and promote the development of innovative new technology in the field of woodworking machinery, supplies, and services for the furniture, kitchen cabinets, architectural woodwork, store fixture, upholstery, or specialty and general wood product industries.

TechniksUSA is very proud to be selected as a 2012 Challengers Award Finalist for our ATEMAG Extra Plus Aggregate Head. This head  features an oscillating cutting action that reduces the time it takes to cut a mortised lock pocket from 51 seconds to just 11 seconds. It eliminate door production bottlenecks and improves manufacturing quality with the amazing lock recess aggregate.

NEW Vario Visio DIGITAL adjustable aggregate head

Smart Line Vario

We've offered CNC Aggregate heads with adjustable angles for some time. Our Vario can operate at any angle within it's range to perform “impossible” cuts, …right on your CNC router. The Function Line Vario aggregate operates at any angle from 0˚ to 100˚. We've also had the The Ultra Line Vario aggregate that operates at any angle from -100˚ to 100˚ Each of these uses a Vernier scale on the side of the unit to adjust it.

The NEW VARIO VISO 

The vernier scale is great but we thought that it was time to go Digital! Our new Vario Viso has a easy to adjust head and a DIGITAL Display which really makes it easy for Boring, Routing, and Sawing.

Here's some of the Tech Specs:

• Speed max.                 15,000 R.P.M. (drive) 
• Speed max.                 15,000 R.P.M. (tool spindle)
• Gear ratio i                   1:1
• Torque max.                 20 Nm
• Temperature max.         85° C / 185° F
• Angle adjustment          0 – 100°

Remember we can attach the Vario Visio head to HSK, CAT and BT flanges to suit your specific machine. Just like our other Vario units you can use a combination of connections including ER 25/saw blade or a 30 mm saw blade connection flange  and pitch circle of 45/52 mm with integrated Weldon connection diameter up to 10 mm.

The rotating direction of the head can be left or right, but remember, the spindle rotating direction opposite drive rotating direction 

Features:

• Digital display of adjusted angle 
• One single clamping screw
• Conical pin for 0° reference adjustment
• Aggregate can be rotated 360° around drive
