LEDA-GOVE REVERSE PULSE DUST EXTRACTORS Regarded as the best systems for both minimal maintenance and maximum performance, reverse pulse dust extractors use timed pulses of compressed air blasted through the filter tubes every 30 seconds or so, to keep them as clean as on day one. Nobody has to remember to clean anything. It just happens every minute of every working day.

The performance of the extractor never diminishes as all the filters remain clean.

Effortless efficiency. Simply the best.

LEDA DPME VERTICAL PANEL SAW

Gove are among the world’s leaders in this technology and their units are in stock in Australia now and will be on show at AWISA.

The principal advantage of good quality vertical panel saws is the use of a minimum of floor space while providing perfectly cut to size, perfectly square, chip free panels

Leda Machinery Pty Ltd Stand 3406 Phone 08 7127 7730

A heavy duty machine is required to achieve such a high quality result and the Leda unit is in this category, even though the investment level is less than half that of some machines on the market.

EDGE AND SURFACE SANDING SOLUTIONS

This machine has a scoring saw unit, automatic movement of the rear baffles to avoid them being cut horizontally, dust extraction fan built into the saw head to assist dust collection and simple changing from vertical to horizontal cutting.

For manual or automated pre and post-sanding of edges and surfaces, Kory Dubay Manufacturing has a solution to suit, from the company’s partners Flex Trim, Gottschild, MC Talleres, Mirka and Southern Contours.

SHELIX CUTTER AND SAND-FLEE DRUM SANDER The Shelix cutter is for retro-fitting planing machines. From their experience with hand tools, most woodworkers know that a “shear” cut is far more effective than a straight plane down the length of timber. By staggering the cutters and segmenting them into practical, square Tungsten inserts, the cut is smoother, quieter and dust extraction efficiency is improved dramatically.

The Sand-Flee® portable drum sander is a bench top power tool, designed to save hours of tedious hand sanding while improving the finish of woodworking projects. This is “back-to basics” safe sanding for schools and community workshops. More versatile than an overhead drum sander; easier and safer to use than a belt sander; better control and results than a palm/orbital sander; cleaner than any other sander.

THE NEW DOMINO XL DF 700 JOINING MACHINE BY FESTOOL The greatest benefit of the Domino XL is that the tool can come to the workpiece, instead of the workpiece having to be carried to the tool. It enables fast, simple, precise and extremely stable jointing with measurably shorter setup times and time savings of up to 50% compared with bench mounted tools.

Building on the success of the original Festool Domino DF500, the Domino XL brings the ability to make much bigger and stronger joints.

The patented pendulum cutting action has been scaled up to produce wider and longer joints, ideal for furniture and door construction and for producing structural joints in solid wood. The tool features unbeatable joint stability up to Domino size 14 x 140 mm.

It has variable routing depth settings from 15-70 mm and features a rapid setting of cutting height for materials of different thickness.

Thanks to high power and its oscillating cutter motion, it enables smooth, easy cutting even in hardwood.

It also offers precise cutting of angled mortises with stepped positions or step less angle adjustment.

The most appealing benefit of the Domino system of joining wood is the time it saves as it is intended for larger, heavier components that can be difficult to take to stationary machinery.

FELDER CLEAN AIR DUST EXTRACTORS

PROJECT 355 AND PROJECT 455 THE EVOLUTION CONTINUES

Felder extractors are for manufacturers with dust problems in the workshop or on their CNC machines. The Felder Clean-Air dust extraction units exceed the strictest international recycled air emission regulations. They return air into the workshop that is cleaner than the air that most people breath everyday. All Felder Clean-Air dust extractors are certified to H3.

Masterwood is attentive to continuing productive challenges and to market evolution and expresses its innovative capability introducing the new 5 axis working centre, Project.

Felder Group Australia Stand 3412 Phone 02 4735 1011

The Project range is being produced in either the bridge version with the Project 355, suitable for window and door production, or in cantilever version with the Project 455, more suitable for the flexibility needed in furniture production.

This Project range represents many years of research for Masterwood, summing up all the technological and structural experience developed in these years. It is fitted out with a birotative head totally controlled by a high precision set of kinematic mechanisms on which is mounted a 12 kW liquid cooled router unit. Wide diameter tools can be fitted on the 16 position tool changer. Manual or automatic positioning of the workpieces support bars and clamping devices.

Machines can be programmed thanks to the easy and flexible software that continually assures to the user a total control of the productive process. To reduce programming time, it is possible to use a post processor that allows the utlisation of the most common CAD and 3D softwares and is able to recognize the machining operations present on the workpieces, generating the related executive program in automatic mode; the user has only to associate the technical parameters to the single machining operations.

LEDA LACQUERED PANEL SANDERS

ESOLUTION FROM HOMAG, THE SOFTWARE FOR THE FUTURE

Sanding lacquered or painted panels between each undercoat to leave a perfectly smooth surface without any flaws and without sanding through the previous coating, is a process demanding extreme accuracy.

Homag presents its eSolution WoodCAD/CAM at the AWISA 2012. From order entry and product creation to processing on the Homag Group machine, eSolution creates a seamless integrated and comfortable environment. Parametric, 3D for 5-axis, hardware library, parts lists, bills of material, drawings and CNC programs. A complete package for business and the production facility.

The single belt special purpose sanders from Leda with a single soft rubber contact roller, currently achieve this every working day in factories around Australia. With variable sanding belt speed and variable feed speed, the perfect combination for any type of paint can be easily achieved, without a large price tag.
