SCHEER PA 4500

The advanced compact class

Scheer has expanded its panel saw range by an innovative type in the compact class. Components of the highest technical standard that are required in the machine area of panel cutting were transferred to the new PA series 4500.

The PA 4500 series is based on the sophisticated platform strategy of larger, proven models, the PA 5000 and PA 6000/7000. The developers at Scheer have deliberately not slimmed down the construction, but transferred many modules and components of the high-tech industrial saws to the new compact class.

Set up in modules, the PA 4500 is well prepared for all cutting tasks. Whether high performance or particularly difficult panel materials, the PA 4500 is the perfect saw for small and medium sized enterprises, who value the highest quality of machine and panel cutting.

This is due to

• The heavy machine base bed design
• A saw carriage guided on both sides made of cast steel
• The linear guides
• A dynamic servo motor and rack and pinion drive

In order to achieve best performance, we increased the operating parameter of the material pusher to a maximum for an optimised saw cycle.

In addition to the mechanical components, handling plays a large part in conjunction with control technology and is decisive for a perfect machine concept.

Basis of the control and drive concept is an integrated PC with Simatic WinAC SPS. It controls the Siemens Master Drive units precisely and reliably via a Profibus-system. It enables, thanks to optimum control dynamics, an improvement of the cutting quality and also the highest positioning accuracy of the material slide. Absolute encoders save referencing the saw carriage and material slide axis and thus contribute to increased machine availability and thus productivity.

The control concept offers a solution that dispenses with external interfaces between the individual components. This enables faster data transfer as well as best operational reliability and availability of the panel saw.

The development of the operating software "ScheerWin" with its visual upgrade for the processing sequence, as well as advanced functions in automatic mode bring substantial alleviation and more flexibility.

SCHEER PA 8500

Technology for ultimate cutting precision!

On one hand, the solid machine base bed in a compact design, with wear-free, double-sided storage of the saw carriage. On the other hand, the perfect interaction of a precise aligner and a high-precision, dynamic material slide.

The high efficiency of the 3-point direct extraction hose on the saw carriage, pressure beam and in the cutting area of the angular fence as well as directly driven saw blades contribute to the reduction of operating costs.

The new Bohr- and Frässpecht
BFS 8132 by SCHEER | KOCH!

The tried and tested SCHEER-woodpecker is widely appreciated and frequently in use.

Based on this construction, the Hans Koch GmbH developed a new machine that is not only able to "drill – glue – dowel” but also carry out all required frontal routing. This includes dovetail, ridge, groove, dowel on several levels and the routing of free contours and pockets.

The BFS is faster than any of its predecessors with a dowel insertion speed of 54 per minute. The spindle guided Z-axis ensures full mobility on all three levels, and the wood dust insulated linear guides prevent the settling of sawdust. Drilling support is provided by one drill/routing motor, which is supported by the dowel insertion station. As an option, further drilling motors and dowel insertion stations can be installed. The separate flip fences allow alternate operation and sensor start-up for instantaneous operation and increased productivity. Adjustable clamps will ensure securing even the smallest workpiece.

The core of the machine (the hard-wired contol cabinet) contains the latest drive technology from BECKHOFF compact controllers as well a BECKHOFF industrial computer, offering smooth operation by uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and safety-SPS, even after disruptions like power cuts or power surges.

The operator controls the machine using the tried and tested NC Studio within Windows Embedded 7.

For additional precision - axes and RPM are individually adjustable.

Towards the vertical -

with the drilling and routing centre
from the Scheer BC series!

Why machine panelled materials horizontally?

A machining process does not only begin when the workpiece is securely and accurately positioned in the processing machine. The cost and effort to move materials to and from the machine are often underestimated. When looking at the individual operations, it is noticeable that the material transport is labour intensive. Mainly machine operators, who are professionally trained and actually should be entrusted with other work, spend a lot of time and energy on the task. The workpieces are to be placed into the machines and taken out after machining. Vertical boards often need to be brought into a horizontal position in order to be fed into the processing machine. Additional time, effort and control are required when securely placing the boards on the material stops. The machining process takes place within the machine and is not necessarily straightforward. The workpiece removal is designed similarly. This mode of operation is not necessarily cost-effective and user-friendly. Some machines can create the impression as if economic and ergonomic aspects are not necessarily part of construction and design.

The "upright" drilling and routing centre

The development and construction of the Scheer drilling and routing centre stipulate important specifications, one of which is the spatial footprint of the machine, limiting it to a minimum without compromising easy access for operation and maintenance. The portal construction, known in mechanical engineering as the familiar portal construction (gantry and table design), was combined with an inclined workpiece support. The advantage of this type of construction is the easy and effortless transport of the workpieces to the machine. Further attention was paid to visual clarity of the workpiece support, which is equipped with a variety of clamps and stoppers. A further important point was to keep set-up times to a minimum. The close cooperation of construction, production and practicality resulted in the “upright” drilling and routing centre. All tasks, ranging from positioning of the workpiece, tool usage and machining operation, are easily and simply executed.

The moving tool changer for the powerful routing unit guarantees short automatic changeovers for routing tools and/or machining units. Should manual access in exceptional cases be required, the upright design facilitates the task. There is no need for the operator to access the machine from below. The tool changer is accessible in an easy and safe manner.

Efficient and cost-effective production

The vertical machine design, workpiece clamps and the visible workpiece, represent an ergonomic workplace for the operator. Feeding is simple and effortless, the workpiece stops are visible and the tool changer is easily accessible when required. Error-free working and cost efficient products can be achieved due to easily acquired machine programming/control as well as simple operation of the unit.

Considering heavy material such as kitchen worktops, front doors and interior doors, aluminium plates, etc., they can be easily carried in a vertical manner and mounted in the clamping system of the machine. The workpiece is placed on the stop bar and is automatically positioned by gravity at zero. Once machining has been started, the stops swing to the side and the workpiece can be machined from all sides. All required surface and frontal drilling/routing works are carried out in one process in a precise and space-saving manner and with a high repeat accuracy.

Cleanliness in the workplace

The highly effective and centrally placed saw chips and dust extraction system, ensures cleanliness in the workplace. The machined material drops down and will be removed effectively by suction. Deposits on the workpiece or the workpiece support will thus be prevented. Workpiece format changes that require different positioning of the material suction can be carried out without time-consuming cleaning processes of the machine. Optionally the machine displays the suction position by means of a laser pointer. Alternatively, all workpiece contours can be projected onto the workpiece support surface.

Active personnel protection

The sophisticated machine design, the Scheer BC has been built since 1990; it provides an alternative to the usual mats as personal protection equipment, the use of a moving security scanner, which switches the machine to ‘creep mode’ if there is a risk of danger and only in case of imminent danger triggers the "emergency shutdown ". Accidental "emergency stop" will not be initiated, yet the personnel protection is guaranteed.

High availability

The manufacture of such sophisticated machine technology, Made in Germany, is subject to strict quality control. The material components were chosen in accordance with performance and functionality for high product demands and long service life. Thorough operator training, good customer service provided by us and optimal maintenance ensure that machine-related production losses become a thing of the past and only happen rarely with this line of machine.

Aside from the value for money aspect, these are the reasons that make the drilling and routing centre made by Scheer so popular amongst users.

The Scheer BC 2001 is suitable not only for engineered wood but also for machining a variety of materials such as plastics, sandwich and composite materials as well as non-ferrous and precious metals. For drilling and routing tests on special materials / workpieces various machines and tools are at your disposal in our showroom.
