Doors and window frames are critical elements of any house, not only for their structural function but also for their ability to provide essential thermal and acoustic insulation. These features are crucial for meeting contemporary building standards while integrating seamlessly with modern design preferences.
Wood remains the material of choice due to its aesthetic appeal and adaptability. Consequently, woodworking companies must offer customised solutions to address evolving market demands, a task that requires sophisticated and versatile machinery.
Italian technology provider, SCM Group, is renowned for its extensive experience in door and window machining technologies, making it a valuable partner for both small and large-scale enterprises.
It offers a comprehensive range of solutions designed to enhance production efficiency and flexibility. Its product lineup includes standalone machines, angular CNC machining centres, and high-automation integrated cells and production lines.
These solutions are crafted to provide flexibility in small batch production without compromising on the advantages of industrial-scale efficiency.
Through-feed moulders
The Superset NT through-feed moulder stands out as an ideal choice for producing a wide variety of profiles for windows and doors. Its design incorporates a 21.5-inch touch screen display integrated into the base, which can be adjusted to ensure optimal operator comfort during programming.
The moulder features an electronic universal spindle adjustment system that allows for quick and precise setup without errors. The machine’s ergonomic design includes special supports for dust collection covers, an adjustable right fence with a pneumatic selector, and millimetre lines that simplify manual positioning of machining units. These features collectively enhance the machine’s ease of use and operational safety.
Machining centres
The Accord range of CNC machining centres is designed to integrate smoothly into flexible production processes for doors and windows. The machines are controlled and programmed using the Maestro Active CNC software, which is tailored specifically for processing solid wood. The range includes innovative solutions such as the Accord WD and Accord 42 FX models.
• Accord WD: This model automates the loading and unloading of solid wood elements, such as door and window structures. It offers the flexibility of being used in both cell and stand-alone modes.
It is equipped with a high-power electro-spindle, ensuring fast machining speeds and high-quality finishes. It also features up to 72-tool storage for continuous operation, and its MATIC worktable and BRC multi-function unit contribute to its high productivity and flexibility.
• Accord 42 FX: This new entry in the Accord range is tailored for high productivity demands and variable batch sizes. It features a twin combined machining unit with separate 3 and 5 axes routing units.
The alternating use of these units reduces downtime, as one unit can perform operations while the other changes tools. This design allows for high productivity without sacrificing the flexibility inherent in CNC machining centres.
Sanding, finishing
The DMC System-T is a robust solution for sanding various wooden products, including doors, windows, kitchen cabinet doors, and panels with cross-grained wood. It is equipped with the latest sanding technologies to deliver excellent results.
The machine is suitable for medium to large-scale production and can be used as a stand-alone unit or integrated into automatic production lines. System-T features a pad unit with EPICS electronic technology for precise and sensitive sanding.
It integrates seamlessly with Superfici coating lines, enhancing the overall quality of surface finishes. The Maestro robotised coating system, used in conjunction with Superfici lines, offers high-quality, uniform coating with reduced waste and efficient management of small batches.
Door assembly
The Action-M is designed for high versatility and ease of use in the assembly of doors and windows. This end-of-line solution can press and glue various window systems, including windows, slatted shutters, and solid wood doors. It features a vertical hydraulic clamp known for its high-rigidity structure and precision.
The clamp’s parallelism is maintained by a rack and pinion synchronized system and a torsion bar, ensuring consistent pressure during operation. This design ensures reliable and efficient assembly for diverse window and door systems.
