Success for Stegherr at Fensterbau 08

There was unrelenting pressure for the sales engineers on the Stegherr stand at Fensterbau/Holz-Handwerk 2008, the interest in the new KF-W was amazing according to the UK distributor John Penny.

The new KF is a machining centre for cutting to length and end scribing of wooden components which have already been moulded to section. The unique design of the machine ensures absolutely tear free end scribing of profiled components by means of two counter rotating milling spindles on which are mounted two identical profile tools.

These spindles can be supplied in different lengths to allow for stacked tooling to be used in conjunction with a programmable servo drive vertical axis.

The KF-W exhibited on the Stegherr stand had the new tool changer system fitted which allows swift changes between end profiles and the new software allows for easy programming without any special knowledge. The machines versatility can be further expanded by the fitting of a drilling unit and if required, dowel insertion.

The new Stegherr KF now gives a practical system to produce high quality wooden windows from profiled wood without the need for conventional machines on which breakout is difficult to avoid. It would also allow for consideration to be given to the out sourcing of high quality solid or laminated timber profiled window sections, so avoiding the considerable costs of waste and its disposal when using raw timber.

The full range of Stegherr equipment was shown at Fensterbau including the KSF2/8 and KSF Mini cross halving joint machines for both plant-on and full Georgian glazing bars and the new GLS angle cutting saw for all types of glazing beads in wood/plastic and aluminum.
