Processing Stations
Parts move through a series of processing stations for sawing, mortising, routing, and drilling. The machine layout includes cut-to-length saws, pass-through miter saws for rails, glass-lip zip saws and depth-registered miter saws for stiles, mortise cut saws for rails, a plunge end route, capillary break and injection-port drilling, and a check-rail clearance router.
Part Positioning and Profile Feed
The specification covers five pultrusion profiles: casement wide, casement narrow, double-hung narrow, double-hung narrow check, and double-hung wide. Servo-driven ballscrews position the right- and left-hand saw carriages between feed moves. Clamps on each saw carriage reference the part before the saw cycle. The mortise station has four offset positions for the distance from the end of the part to the mortise.
The feed system uses a 10 HP servo drive, with a specified peak speed of 120 FPM and average speed of 60 FPM. The feed chain uses bolt-on profile lugs, and the document includes a set of Delrin lugs for the five profiles.
Enclosure and Dust Collection
A sound and dust enclosure covers the processing stations from the cut-to-length saws through the check-rail clearance router. It includes air-actuated access gates at the infeed and outfeed, two interlocked hinged doors on each side, and light curtains. Cutter hoods connect to dust collection openings in the enclosure. The specification also includes lower floor-sweep hoods and ionized-air delivery through the pultrusions at the capillary break and injection-port drilling station and the check-rail clearance router.
