The OMAL Parametric Laser: The laser system is able to automatically measure the part, populate the part’s width and calculate all dowel locations for the part. The OMAL Parametric program comes pre-programmed on the HBD, meeting AWI standards for dowel spacing. The Auto-start and Auto-area selection sensors allow the HBD to run parts in any sequence without calling up the program and the machine senses the panel, therefore there is no need to push the start button.

Four Zones: Four vertical clamps to hold panel horizontally are standard on the machine, one for each zone. Pendulum process up to two 24” parts at once. Average cycle time 12 seconds per side. The selection of the loading zone (left, left center, right center, or right) is executed by CNC and automatic.

Centralized lubrication unit: Located on the machine carriage, the centralized oiling unit disperses with one pull of the hand to the axes bearings, drilling spindle, and to all THK guides.

The OMAL Sure Shot System: The dowel insertion revolver holds a dowel while a second dowel is inserted. Using a fiber optic sensor, the machine verifies the next dowel is present to prevent miss feeds. With the glue gun piggyback system, the glue is inserted just milliseconds before the dowel is inserted, checking that the glue needle moves back via an inductive sensor on the back of the glue gun body. The OMAL “SURE SHOT” system guarantees glue and a dowel is inserted every time!
