Both CNC tenoning and Five-disc machine are used in common tenon processing. The CNC tenoning machine is an upgraded version of the five-disc tenoning machine. It introduces CNC automation technology. Today we will compare and compare these two devices.
First, let’s get to know the five-disc tenoning machine
The commonly used mechanical tenoning machine in my country's furniture manufacturing industry is the five-disc saw. The shape of this machine is as follows. In different regions, this machine also has its own different names. The scientific name is the five-disc saw, because the main part of the mechanical work is that the motor drives the five saw blades to work in coordination to manufacture various straight tenons, hence the name.
The working principle of the five-disc tenoning machine is: fix the plate on the pressing component, push the pressing component by hand to slide along the optical axis guide rail, cut out the end face in sequence with the tail cutting saw blade, and then draw a straight line with the upper and lower scribing saw blades , the tenoning process is completed by tenoning with a tenoning saw blade. This is an old method of tenoning. It requires an experienced carpenter to complete the work. It is very troublesome and time-consuming to adjust once. Most people really can't adjust it. However, it was considered a big improvement in the past. At least it does not require sharpening. The ax chopping is purely manual.
Let’s take a look at the CNC tenoning machine again.
The design principle of the CNC woodworking tenoning machine is artificial intelligence mode, which realizes simple human-machine dialogue. Its design concept is completely different from that of the five-disc saw. The motor of the five-disc saw controls the cutting of the saw blade. The CNC woodworking tenoning machine controls the rotation of the milling cutter through current signals for milling and produces various tenons. The related actions are performed by servo motors, servo drives, induction signal sources, linear guides, and sliders. computer control board, control system, etc. are coordinated and completed together. Due to different working methods, CNC tenoning machines have no requirements for operators. As long as they know the numbers to fill in the processing dimensions, both male and female workers can operate them. Therefore, CNC woodworking tenoning machines are more suitable for current furniture manufacturing processes and uses. In the market economy, speed, efficiency and quantification are the last words!
CNC tenoning mechanism sends commands through the computer port, the milling cutter rotates at high speed, and the servo drive completes the relevant shape processing. That is to say, the size and size of the tenon we need only need to be input and set through the computer port. It is efficient, fast and convenient. Relying on experienced carpenters lowers the selection criteria for operators.
Finally, let’s make a comparison between the Five-disc tenoning machine and the CNC tenoning machine.
From an economic point of view, a five-disc tenoning machine is relatively cheap, costing several thousand yuan per unit, and is more suitable for small-scale enterprises. Such cost-effective equipment must have been used by many companies that have just entered the woodworking circle, and even To this day, many of our furniture factories still retain this small machine, which can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia and nostalgia. The price of CNC tenoning machines is slightly more expensive. This is determined by the investment in equipment. Generally, it is more than 30,000 to less than 40,000. Double-end CNC tenoning machines are more efficient and have better process intelligence. It’s more expensive, about more than 100,000 RMB!
In terms of processing efficiency and accuracy, the five-disc tenoning machine can open many tenons at one time, and the speed is not much worse than the CNC tenoning machine. However, the five-disc saw can only open straight tenons, square tenons, and guaranteed square tenons. , it cannot open waist round tenons, round tenons, and diagonal tenons, and the accuracy is also quite different. For companies that do not have very high requirements, you can choose a five-disc tenoning machine. After all, the process requirements are slightly lower. Because the CNC tenoning machine is controlled by a servo motor, it can open one piece of material in about a few seconds. In fact, the speed is not as fast as the five-disc tenoning machine. Its advantage is that it can open different tenons and has better precision control. For those who pay attention to functionality and precision for good wood product processing companies, you can choose a CNC tenoning machine. The CNC tenoning machine can process square tenon, waist round tenon, and round tenon. If the speed is higher and the degree of intelligence is higher, the double-end CNC It’s time to open the tenoning machine, it all depends on your choice! Market-oriented economy and global trade have become facts and inevitable. The use of automated equipment is the inevitable and trend in the future!
