Dan-List Dowel Boring Machine Model BA 3000

Dan-List BA 3000 is a semi-automatic dowel boring machine which takes the rails directly from the moulder and into the boring machine.

It is a compact and solid machine which works standard with eight adjustable boring units (more can be added upon request).

The Dan-List BA 3000 has a simple but flexible design, based on a traditional, very strong and solid machine frame, including safety guards and is quite simply built to last.

Dan-List BA 3000 is a solid, reliable and efficient dowel boring machine for bed sides, legs and other kind of work pieces for any type of bed.

Equipment:

Standard the Dan-List BA 3000 is equipped as follows:

• 1 pcs conveyor, taking the rails directly from the moulder,
• 4 pcs boring units for boring top/bottom,
• 4 pcs boring units for boring from the side,
• 4 pcs clamping cylinders,
• Delivery system return to operator, next to the machine.

The boring unit revolve 90° around its own axis, and the boring head itself, revolve 360° around its own axis.

Safety:

As safety for the operator is a keyword on all Dan-List machines, all safety guards which can be opened contain safety switches so if the operator accidently opens a safety guard during production the machine stops.

Or if a safety guard has not been closed properly after set up, the machine will not start.

All safety features are monitored in the PLC control, and can be seen on the touch screen, if any safety devices are activated.

It is impossible for the operator to access the machine in any way during production.

Dan-List BA 3000 is connected with the moulder so if any stops are necessary or emergency stop is taken one either moulder or boring machine, both machines will stop immediately.

PLC:

The PLC contains many features, for example:

• Communication with moulder,
• On/off function for each boring unit,
• Time delay for cross drillings in order to avoid collision for horizontal and vertical drillings,
• Time controlled cleaning function of drilling,
• Programmable counter,
• Adjustable time for air blowing of drilled work pieces,
• Adjustable speed of infeed pusher,
• Touch screen in English ( also available in local language ),
• Individual requests,
• And more.

4. Rails are clamped pneumatically, and drilled from the top and side,
5. After drilling the rails are delivered back to operator next to the machine on runners. ( individual delivery systems available ).

Capacity is typically from 600 – 800 work pieces per hour, depending on cross drillings and depth of drillings.

Set-up:

The set-up of the machine is easy and operator friendly.

The operator loosen two handles on the carriers for the boring units, slide the boring units to correct position and lock the handles again.
