Dan-List Dowel Boring Machine Model Classic Autoset with Grooving Unit

Dan-List Classic Autoset with grooving unit is an efficient and reliable, Danish made fully automatic boring machine for drawer fronts with blind grooves. It has fully automatic set up through the touch screen with a memory of up to 99 different programs, which can be extended if needed.

The setup of the machine is 100% automatically done through the touch screen where each position of boring units, drilling depth, clamping cylinders, grooving unit, magazine etc., are entered and stored. Next time you need to run the same work piece, all you need to do is to enter the program number at the touch screen and the machine sets everything automatically with a precision of 1/10 mm. within 60 seconds.

Nothing needs to be set manually, apart from changing of drills.

This makes the Dan-List Classic Autoset with grooving unit unique for the just in time production, where stock is kept to a minimum and only orders are manufactured. Just in time production requires many set ups during a working day. Set up and change over time is expensive and time consuming and therefore a set up time of less than 60 seconds is exactly what this kind of production needs.

Dan-List Classic Autoset with grooving unit has three working stations which means that the machine will always work with three pieces which will be transported through each station with pushers. This way the very high capacity of approx. 15 - 20 work pieces a minute (exact capacity will be quoted with each single machine) – including the blind groove – will be reached.

A full working cycle could for example be:

  1. Enter the program number at the touch screen.
  2. Dan-List Classic Autoset with grooving unit sets up automatically and will be ready for drilling within 60 seconds.
  3. Load the magazine.
  4. The work piece is taken automatically into the first working station where it will be clamped pneumatically and drilled from the top.
  5. Then the piece is moved automatically to second station where it will be clamped pneumatically and drilled from the bottom.
  6. After drillings the work piece will be taken automatically into the grooving station on a conveyor where the blind groove will be made.
  7. The finished work pieces can either be returned to operator next to the machine on runners or they could also be automatically stacked.
