The FJL 183 is made up by two shaping units facing one another each including hoging saw, cope spindle and both upper and lower scoring saws (optional). The carriage holding the work pieces is driven by inverter therefore its speed is controlled electronically. The glue applicator system EXTRUS2 is installed in0line with the second shaper unit. This high performance glue spreading device allows for an extremely accurate application and calibration of the glue on each finger. The unit can be cleaned and maintained with ease preventing down times of the machine. The batch concept of the FJL 183 guarantees high accuracy in the shaping operation. As an optional equipment the machine can be fitted with a pneumatic hide away counter profile to prevent chipping and tear off on the last piece of the batch. The high production of the syste is made possible by the unique continuos cycle. In fact the FJL 183 operates during both traverses (in-and-out) while the unload of the fhinshed batch is performed simultaneously to entrance of the new one. The line-up channel is fed by a flip loader capable of containing 1 complete batche to maintain the press unit continuously filled. The encoder wheel mounted on the pre-press measures the length of the board being fed to the press, make it possible to split the finshed board in up to 3 pieces of various lengths. The final hydraulic press is available in four different lengths (4,5-6-7,5 and 9 meters) and can be equipped, as an option, with an intermediate length stop.
