Over time, the latest developments in woodworking technology and computer control are blurring the boundaries between pointsto-
Point wave machine and CNC router.
The time is the router, the boring machine is the machine. Period.
Things are not so simple today.
The emergence of computers has spawned high

This could be done by pricing the machine.
But most of us know that the world is not perfect.
The trick for most carpentry is to find the right machine to achieve the right functionality.
To help determine which machine is suitable for a particular factory, this article will discuss the CNC router and point-to-

Obviously, the main purpose of the controlled router is to crash.
However, the machine can also perform a variety of other functions, including shaping, trimming and boring.
Some machines can move multiple heads at a time and perform multiple operations on the same workpiece.
Because this is more
Function, the term CNC router gives way to the machining center.
The CNC router is designed to work with solid wood and can use thicker, larger panels, whether solid or composite.
They also provide an effective means of handling panels that require various operations.
In general, according to Dennis Stephen, vice president/technical sales of Stiles machinery, they are designed for processing operations using various material thicknesses and densities and more complex shapes.
The router is usually larger, and for quality reasons, it is slower than the length and width of the typical point moving workpieceto-
A boring machine.
However, according to Todd Herzog, president of Accu-, the increased quality is usually converted to a higher degree of stability, which helps to produce a better finish and requires less sandingRouter Inc.
This is important, according to Herzog, because when deciding which machine to buy, the speed of one machine is not the only determinant.

The router motor usually has more power than the boring machine motor.
According to John Park, general manager of Stefani Group America, a router motor is at one pointto-
Up to 9 points.

In addition to the fast speed, they can also be purchased through a variety of options, including automatic replacement tools, multiple spindles and multiple station tool turrets, slot saws and routers.

In general, point-to-
According to John Mauro, vice president of mechanical sales at Tekna, point works only on X, Y and Zaxes, but in some cases a fourth 360 degree axis can be included.

Mauro said that the point drill machine has the function of automatically replacing tools and can use \"simple knives all the way to special cutter heads, which can be automatically replaced in one cycle \".
\"The operator does not have to have a change tool for each setting.
Setupis is done through a computer, so there is no set time and no operator intervention.
In the past, you have to rely on the operator\'s expertise, his ability to set it up correctly, and the speed at which he sets it.
All of this is done when you go to cnc control.

These two machines are flexible in the sense that they can perform multiple operations.
CNCrouters can route, drill holes, shapes, etc. ; point-to-
Point drilling rigs can be drilled, closed, slotted, etc.
Another factor that goes into the procurement equation involves the degree of flexibility that the end user needs.
\"Flexibility depends on what kind of production you are doing,\" Stephen said . \".
\"The router is more flexible in terms of the range of materials that can be processed.
For example, I will not place chair parts at one pointto-point machine.
On the other hand, if I put a cabinet part in front of the router, I will have to do something annoying (setup)

\"Determining the range of materials and processes to be used is only two factors that the woodworking workshop must debate before making a decision.
At the end of the day, carpenters must carefully check their store needs and workload.
\"Customers should define exactly how many routes and drilling they need for their work,\" said Mauro . \".
\"If the customer determines with the help of the application engineer that the drilling time of the machine will exceed the wiring time, then the choice is point-to-point or vice-versa.
\"Defining operations may require an external organization to enter the store and determine exactly which machine should be purchased.
David Steranko, president of digital tools, said: \"Do product line cost rationality analysis . \"
\"Let independent accounting institutions conduct computer analysis of the return on capital employed.
In their view of the return on capital, they will be very honest.
\"Dealing with parts faster and more efficiently while maintaining quality is the goal of every woodworking, and the right machine can help him achieve that.
However, finding a machine suitable for the store can only be achieved by objectively observing the company and accurately determining the most commonly used materials and the most frequently performed operations.

Skip MacFarlane from GPM Technology Co. , Ltd.
He said he \"strongly believes that\" computer integrated woodworking manufacturing will become a \"new driving force \".
\"Future software will be able to program all the machines of the company while providing them with very accurate time research and cost information.
Bob Meadows of Tekmatex said, \"the future development is carried out in the test, but there is no market yet . \"

These speeds will double the current production.
\"As software becomes more powerful and integrated, these advanced software will become more and more important

Now is the future? Robotics.
Further computerized integration.
Increased productivity.
These are just a few things that CNCrouters and experts in the field of CNC boring machines predict. Tom Onsrud of C. R.
Onsrud simply says that the robot loading/unloading system is the future.
So did Dennis Stephen of Stiles machinery.
\"These machines will be packed with robotic auxiliary equipment to automatically load and unload parts,\" Stephen said . \".
Computerized computing often leads to predictions for the future.
Skip MacFarlane from GPM Technology Co. , Ltd.
He said he \"strongly believes that\" computer integrated woodworking manufacturing will become a \"new driving force \".
\"Future software will be able to program all the machines of the company while providing them with very accurate time research and cost information.
Bob Meadows of Tekmatex said, \"the future development is carried out in the test, but there is no market yet . \"
Production speed controlled by a new generation of computers.
These speeds will double the current production.
\"As software becomes more powerful and integrated, these advanced software will become more and more important
Technology \"gadgets\" are compatible with each other.
John Park of Stefani Group America says software and machines must be \"seamlessly integrated into the existing infrastructure of the customer \".
\"Customers today have typically developed product databases, CADdrawing profiles, and other complex product databases. C. /MS-
Application based on DOS.
Machine suppliers should link seamlessly behind the scenes-
\"This requires custom software,\" Park said . \".
The new machine will not only be able to integrate a variety of machines and databases, but will also do more to keep itself running properly.
This means further research and development of automatic replacement tools, more durable spindles, cutting tools and machines that can be self-executed
Todd helzog of Accu said the diagnosis included continuous monitoring of tool sharpness and balanceRouter Inc.
Walter Favrusso of Biesse America said that CNC routers and point-to-
The point drill machine tool will focus on further computerized and seeking higher processing speed by using more powerful software and more emphasis on tool changers and tool magazines.
The workflow will be improved by using more friendly users and PCs
Linda Wiggin of Hendrick RWHIndustries said, based on the controller, and more widely using barcodes as part of the programming process.
Angelo Gangone of SCMI says CNC router and point-to-
Machines with entry points will be sold in standard configuration, which will make these machines more affordable.
Affordability is particularly important for small businessesand medium-sizeshops.
Raymond Ward of Anderson America said, \"there are many first-time buyers in small and medium-sized stores.
These companies need the versatility and flexibility of the CNC router to meet the needs of their customers.
