Balestrini:
PICO CN
|
|
 |
The
tenon width, thickness and angle are all quickly and easily set
through the dedicated operating software on the main machine
controller. In addition it is now possible to create two different
size tenons on each work table with different operating speeds to
suit the size of tenon being produced and the type of timber being
machined.
All information can be memorized and freely edited as required.
Thank’s to the NC control it is now also possible to produce a
square end tenon. Once the program has been selected and the machine
start cycle activated the operation is fully automatic.
The Pico/CN has been designed for use in both small and industrial
scale workshops where rapid set up times are required for short
batch production or for producing bespoke components, samples or
prototypes. If required matching slot
mortises can be machined on the Balestrini twin table Micron model. |

Anti Splinter Cycle
 |
To avoid splintering a tool must cut from the outside in.
In order to achieve this, the tool starting position must change
depending on whether the tool is working on the right hand table or the
left hand one, e.g. by starting the tenoning cycle from below on the
left hand table.
Figure A: shows the traditional anti-splinter cycle already used
on the last 2TAO;
Figure B: shows the cycle used on the PICO, where the tool
changes position as it moves from one table to the other.
The new system prevents the tool from moving twice on the processed
tenon thus avoiding time losses to the benefit of an improved machining
precision. |
