Busy as usual the

Dynestic 7505 from Holzher pays it’s way

Being able to undertake high flow nesting has been a real boon for solid surface benchtop specialists Prefinished Surfaces based in Henderson, Auckland. Bob Nordgren from JOINERS Magazine caught up with owner Dave Roberts recently for an update on the panel processing CNC Machine Dynestic 7505 he bought back in June 2019 from local Holzher agents Technical Machinery Services Ltd (TMS).

It appears to be rolling along: busy as usual. “We have had the 7505 a couple of years now so we can really assess this machine as to its fit and function for the business and it has been really good.” comments Dave. Since the business started back in 2015 it has seen steady growth in their main activity of commercial fitouts and kitchens. The introduction of the 7505 in 2019 was a direct response to that growth. The need for a quick, precise, high flow operation was essential to the growth of the business. “The 7505 has provided exactly those characteristics enabling the team of some eight staff these days to meet the growing demand with confidence.

So what is it about the machine that makes it such a good fit for the business? “We use Alphacam software from Cam Solutions (NZ) Ltd which has been marvellous for the templating process necessary for benchtop manufacture. The flexibility the software offers has made the CNC processing a very effective one.” comments Dave. “The other big benefit this three axis machine offers is up to 3.7m for the X axis and 1.58m for the Y axis which means we can process variable size board easily.” The integrated position linear tool changer allows for up to twelve tool positions as well.

“We make a lot of benchtops using engineered stone like Corian and Laminex product as well as 12mm sheets of a product called Fenix NTM from Italy used by top end clientele. The 7505 has proved to very robust to process all these products with ease. Throw on top of that the easy install, training and ongoing maintenance that Mike and Rajan from TMS provide and the machine has proved to be a good buy for us making high flow nesting a reality.” says Dave.

We have had the 7505 a couple of years now so we can really assess this machine as to its fit and function for the business and it has been really good.

Flexibility & Value

This machine offers us real flexibility: we can use a variety of software options if need be and our factory neighbour Alternatives Manufacturing (AML) continue to use the 7505’s friendly interface for their own Cabmaster Software to cut board for their kitchen, cabinetry and shopfitting work when we are not using it.” In speaking with Andy Crake from AML he comments “We have found being able to use the 7505 to be a really helpful for us as it is able to do everything we need this kind of machine to do. The ability to use our own software (and tooling) has made for a fantastic set of options for our business as it has for Prefinished. Much better than what we formerly used.”

And down the track Prefinished Surfaces are looking to expand further. “The last year through Covid has been challenging but we have survived well I think” Dave reflects. “We are still on target to make further changes and add new technology in the future.”

The Anderson GS-612 uses similar technology as found in bullet trains. Opposing magnets in combination with lineal guides use forces of attraction and repulsion to move the machine in the X and Y axes.
