Boring Machines Are Nothing to Yawn About!

Biesse F39N Spindle Horizontal/Vertical Boring Machine

Used 32mm and through-feed boring machines include all multiple-spindle boring machines that have fixed drill spindles separated on 32mm centers. Some boring machines are designed in a simple, single vertical row. Others drill horizontally and have multiple spindles with in-line drilling. There are other boring machines with tilting heads that are capable of drilling either vertically or horizontally. Finally, there are also multiple head borers that are capable of simultaneously drilling horizontally and vertically.  Shops with larger production runs of similar drilling patterns can utilize feed-through multiple-head boring machines. No mater what the configuration is, these machines can range in operation from fully manual to numerically controlled.

Biesse, Gannomat, SCM, and Weeke are some of the popular brands of used borers available on the used machinery market today.

Textiles Intelligence - UK and Fibre2fashion - India are proud to announce a strategic alliance between their organisations

Robin Anson, Managing Director of Textiles Intelligence in the UK, and Dr PR Roy, Director of Fibre2Fashion in India, are proud to announce a strategic alliance between their organisations. The aim of the alliance is to provide the South Asian textile and apparel industry with research-based information to support their strategic planning. The alliance will take effect from April 2011.

Mr Anson and Dr Roy share the view that, with the current shift of the textile and clothing industry to Asia, it was logical for both organisations to join together in order to provide the necessary insight and strategy advice to assist the needs of emerging markets in South Asia. Dr Roy is excited to have Textiles Intelligence, a global knowledge leader in the field, as a partner of Fibre2Fashion.

Companies in South Asia will be able to gain access to research-based knowledge and information through two new printed publications, namely Textile and Apparel Outlook South Asia and Technical Textiles and Performance Apparel South Asia.

Shapers: What Are They and How Are They Used?

Unique 336 Shaper

Shapers range from single head machines with fixed spindles to fully automated machines with multiple heads. Most shapers are single head with a cutter head fixed to a rotating spindle. They are used for shaping solid wood components or the edges of panel components. They can be fitted with a material feeder to feed the stock longitudinally or with a sliding table which clamps the material to be fed through the cutter head. This application is generally for shaping the ends of component stock. Some have tilting spindles to allow deeper profiles with less cutter projection. There are also double head shapers, generally with one head rotating in each direction. This is to allow the operator to always work that the head that is rotating toward the material when approaching, especially when working the ends of material where breakout could be a problem. There are also floating head shapers where the material is fed through between 2 floating heads to process 2 sides and size in the same operation. There are also rotary and linear multiple head shapers that accomplish more complex shaping and edge sanding of components in only 1 pass.

SCM, Unique, Casadei, and Onsrud are a few of many brands of shapers on the used woodoworking machine market today.
