The main processes in furniture manufacturing include: panel cutting, board trimming, edge banding, drilling, and grooving. Drilling includes side holes and front/back holes. A six-sided drill can process side holes and front/back holes, but it requires a large investment. Front/back holes can also be processed using a panel cutter, but side holes require a side drilling machine.
Case Details
Synchronous Side Drilling MachineThe main processes in furniture manufacturing include: panel cutting, board trimming, edge banding, drilling, and grooving. Drilling includes side holes and front/back holes. A six-sided drill can process side holes and front/back holes, but it requires a large investment. Front/back holes can also be processed using a panel cutter, but side holes require a side drilling machine.
Challenges Facing the IndustryPrecision Decline: Over time, the lead screw transmission structure of traditional side drilling machines suffers from wear, leading to decreased precision, shorter lifespan, and a sharp increase in rework rates.
Cost Black Hole: Traditional "edge banding + side drilling" requires two machines and two manual loading/unloading operations, resulting in high costs due to the double investment in equipment and labor.
Efficiency Bottleneck: Traditional side drilling machines are slow and have limited speed, making it difficult to improve drilling efficiency, thus becoming a bottleneck in overall production line capacity.
Solution FeaturesHigh Efficiency:
The Zhongping magnetic levitation side-drilling machine can be directly installed on an edge banding machine, enabling simultaneous edge banding and drilling without requiring additional space. It also eliminates the traditional side-drilling step, significantly improving production efficiency.
Precision:
Utilizing magnetic levitation technology, it maintains high stability and repeatability during long-term operation. Even with repeated drilling, it will not deviate, ensuring drilling accuracy.
Multifunctionality:
The magnetic levitation side-drilling machine can drill not only three-in-one holes, dovetail holes, blind holes, grooves, and concealed parts, but also provides precise and stable drilling with high-speed response, meeting the diverse drilling needs of the furniture manufacturing industry.
Value RealizedThe Zhongping series linear actuator uses the MFC control algorithm, achieving a maximum acceleration of 3G and a maximum operating speed of 30 meters per minute, greatly improving production efficiency.
Magnetic levitation non-contact motion avoids wear and tear and accuracy degradation caused by long-term use of traditional equipment. Side-drilling repeatability is within 20 microns.
Zhongping's dual-axis series drives share power cables, communication cables, and some I/O lines, reducing wiring by 30%. They also share a rectifier module, improving energy efficiency and achieving up to 30% energy savings. This solution is easy to use and energy-efficient.
This solution can drill not only three-in-one holes, dovetail holes, blind holes, grooves, and concealed parts, but also provides precise and stable drilling with high-speed response, meeting the diverse drilling needs of the furniture manufacturing industry.
