Woodworking machines: What work can they do?

Woodworking machines have enabled industries in this sector to achieve impeccable precision, high quality standards in the production of manufactured goods and to speed up production times. The result is semi-finished products that can be used to make furniture, frames, doors, tables, chairs and much more.

In recent years, the installation of automatic woodworking machines has brought about a huge evolution in the production departments of large industries, which can now count on innovative tools and programmes that improve machining and production processes.

For large companies in the sector, as well as for small and medium-sized enterprises, it is essential to keep up to date with the new technologies available in order to be competitive and guarantee their level of finished product quality . The implementation of advanced software, control panels and equipment offers a number of advantages, from reducing costs to increasing productivity and precision.

 

TYPES OF PROCESSING

The woodworking processes that can be carried out with our machines are manifold:

• Calibrating and sanding
• Brushing and rustication
• Polishing and shining
• Scaling and sizing (multi-blade)
• Specific machining for customised solutions

Let's now take a closer look at what we get from each individual process and which machines we use:

CALIBRATION AND SANDING

Calibrating means the step in which a layer of the panel is removed in order to reduce its thickness, ensuring that it is identical from start to finish. Sanding is the process of getting the panel smooth and ready for finishing.

Machines that perform these processes:

BRUSHING AND RUSTICATION

The brushing process is used to improve the surface of the wood, bringing out the grain, textures and patterns. Rustication , on the other hand, is used to give the wood an old-fashioned look and feel, ideal for certain types of products. It highlights the hardest part of the wood (the veins), simulates the wear and tear of the material over time and emphasises the quality of the wood used.

Machines that perform these processes:

 

POLISHING AND SHINING

Polishing and buffing are the so-called 'superfinishing' processes, generally used in the furniture industry to make a lacquered wooden surface shinier, smoother and brighter.

Machines that perform these processes:

 

                 

 SCALING AND SECTIONING (Multiblade)

In basic version or with customised accessories, the panel saws allow more flexible, faster and more cost-effective execution of orders thanks to precise finishing cuts on all wood-based panels.

Machine that performs these processes:

Multiblade 1350

CUSTOMISED SOLUTIONS

Customised solutions include all machining operations that require polishing, shaping, multi-directional superfinishing and much more, specific to a product.

 

 

 

PLANAR SYSTEM

In addition to all these processes, there is the Planar System, a revolutionary sanding system developed by EMC Italia that has changed the way we work on finishing surfaces. It has no production limits, as witnessed by all our customers who have chosen to use it, and requires no special training thanks to its intuitive and simple structure. The result of flatness, compactness, speed, simplicity and economy is the Planare® System, and from all this comes the Plano, a machine created and patented to fully absorb the system.

WHICH MACHINE TO CHOOSE?

The consistent and homogeneous finish over the entire working surface makes our machines perfect for any type of machining. However, the choice will depend on a number of specific factors such as the size of the workpieces to be machined, the width in particular, the type of machining and the finish.
