GANNOMAT | ELITE 25/50 DOWEL DRILLING AND INSERTING MACHINE

Production drilling & dowel inserting machine for simultaneous drilling, gluing, & insertion of dowels.

The Gannomat Elite 25/50 Dowel Drilling and Inserting Machines combine a robust machine design with high output features.  As standard the machine comes with a 25-spindle horizontal boring unit with 6 or 8 adjustable dowel inserting units.  In addition, the machine can be outfitted with an additional 25-spindle vertical boring unit for face drilling.  A program selector switch allows the operator to easily select between drilling only; drilling/inserting; drilling/gluing/inserting.  Comes equipped with (2) stainless steel pots for water and glue.  The water is used for cleaning the lines and the glue is used automatically injecting glue into the appropriate dowel hole.  The left and right fences are adjusted using precision digital readouts and along with the automatic mirror function you can quickly drill each end of the panel without the need to flip the panel.  Flipping the panel loses the accuracy and can shop up on assembly of the cabinet.

When one is considering the many methods of case good assembly, a number of factors are considered. The durability of the joint would be one main consideration. Speed of manufacturing and assembly would be another critical point. And last but not least are accuracy/tolerance.
