Purchase thicknessing machine. Key Features

The modern market of woodworking equipment in Russia is able to offer the widest range of models of thicknessing machines and other equipment from leading and small manufacturing companies from Russia and other countries: China, Taiwan, Italy, Germany, etc.

This material is designed to highlight the main technical characteristics of the thicknesser, which deserve the greatest attention when choosing a machine in accordance with the technical parameters of the tasks assigned to the equipment, and not the reliability of the equipment of a certain manufacturer.

The author hopes for the article. That after acquaintance with this material, such a process as choosing and buying a thicknessing machine, will not cause much questions of operation and selection of equipment, the answers to which can not be found.

Thicknessing machine definition:

Thicknessing machines - a type of industrial equipment widely used in woodworking industries, designed for various operations of processing of wooden parts: flat planing operations strictly in the given dimensions, a wide range of types of billets: wooden boards, panel billets, bars.

The main selection criteria for the thicknesser:

• The overall dimensions of the processed wood blanks are one of the key characteristics worthy of the greatest attention when choosing and purchasing thicknessing woodworking equipment.
• No less significant characteristic of the thicknesser machines can be engine power, which facilitates the performance of high-quality machining of solid wood mass.
• In addition to the power of the engine, a significant impact on the productivity of the machine is provided by the characteristic of the feed rate of the workpieces processed and the maximum possible thickness of the extrusion.
• The qualitative level of processing of blanks from solid wood can be significantly affected by the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the knives and the knife shaft of the thicknesser. The quality of the cutting units is a guarantee of stable operation and high productivity of the machine, the absence of processing defects and, as a result, high quality characteristics of the products.

Quality of production and materials of the machine

Manufacturers with a worldwide reputation and unblemished reputation complete their machines with the highest quality tools either of their own production or of the production of proven manufacturers. In the case of the installation and operation of tools made of low-quality materials, the quality of the machining of workpieces and the repeatability of the results can vary considerably due to accelerated wear of the tool. So you should pay attention to the correctness of the installation of knives, this factor can also have a significant impact on the work of the thicknessing machine.

The next point that deserves attention when choosing a thicknesser is the design, the method of manufacture and the material of the table and the bed. In the event that these structural elements are made of low-quality materials, poorly welded, and the surface is not well-processed, the productivity of the machine, and the quality and stability of the resulting parts can be low. Paying back such equipment in most cases may not be an easy task, the execution time of which can last for a long time. A strong and massive cast iron working table will increase the weight of the machine, which will help minimize the impact on the processing of parasitic vibrations arising from the work of the machine and surrounding equipment. The result of processing, in the case of purchasing a machine with such a table, will be qualitative and stable.

Installation and service

In addition to technical characteristics, when buying a thicknessing machine, special attention should be paid to the issue of the quality and price level of the services provided by the vendor, installation and maintenance of woodworking equipment. On the quality of service services depends the stability and productivity of the thicknessing machine, as, in other matters, and other woodworking equipment. A specialist with insufficient experience in setting up expensive industrial equipment from a company with a poor reputation will most likely damage your production with your non-qualified actions, rather than his work will bring the expected result in the form of consistently high processing quality and high productivity. For example, unregulated or poorly adjusted, the position of the cutting blades leads to an increased percentage of processing defects, and, accordingly, to unnecessary time costs and a decrease in equipment productivity, as well as to its downtime caused by delays in technical and service maintenance.

Paying attention to the above points, the buyer will be able, with less time and expense, and more easily buy a thicknessing machine for our manufacturing plant.

We wish you a successful choice in accordance with your budget, in such a not simple occupation as choosing and buying a thicknessing machine.
