MACHINING TECHNOLOGY
MACHINING TECHNOLOGY GABBIANI S Work Simple, Work Digital with SCM SCM, the leader for secondary woodworking technologies, played a key role at the W18 Trade Fair at Birmingham with the largest collection of high-tech applications and services and its „Industry 4.0“ latest applicable solutions that are going to have a strong impact on the development of the entire sector. In the area dedicated to the “giant from Italy”, the new digital systems conceived by SCM will take centre stage: products and services made possible by an increasingly widespread availability of data and their analysis, enabling quality control and qualitative assessment of production - from the technological and IT development of the individual machines and their ability to operate in cells and cell systems. The main focus of the event was the „Work simple. Work digital“ concept with the SCM Digital Hub, an innovative control center, and Maestro Digital Systems, the platform of latest-generation smart digital solutions, perfectly integrated with SCM machines, to make every stage of woodworking easier and faster both for small-sized companies and large multinational organizations. Among the Maestro Digital System solutions, the main emphasis was on the new IoT („Internet of Things“) platform Maestro connect, in response to the latest Industry 4.0 requirements: it is the highly innovative system for collecting and analyzing data retrieved from SCM machines to increasingly monitor and optimize production processes, enabling full control of production performances by the customer and a series of micro services such as, a timely and smart maintenance and an optimized spare parts management. The advantages of the system are increased productivity and decreased downtime, improved and continued operating cost control, lowed maintenance costs and the ability to monitor machine parameters and performance in real time, anywhere and at any time, allowing correction of any malfunction in an increasingly timely manner (smart maintenance). Maestro connect joins the other solutions available from Maestro Digital Systems platform: the new, latest generation, multi-function, wide-screen and multi-touch operator panel (eye-M), the innovative remote assistance and maintenance system with augmented re- New edgebending Fastback. 30 No. 4 • October 2018
MACHINING TECHNOLOGY ality glasses (Maestro smartech), the powerful and versatile Maestro suite, a complete software system for all processing types and methods, as well as the Virtual Reality 3D Integrated Cell Simulation system (Maestro xplore). In the Digital Hub set up for W18, SCM also presented the new and latest version of Maestro CNC software to be integrated in all machining centres both for solid wood and panel drilling. Among Maestro CNC innovations, the new tool-workpiece machining simulator, allowing to check processing details and to have direct visual control of the obtained result through animated 3D rendering - which makes it possible to check the accuracy of the tool path and correct any programming errors remotely from the designer office. SERGIANI GS Limitless cutting Among SCM cutting options, gabbiani s is designed to satisfy all production requirements and fully customisable according to clients needs. It cuts solid wood panels or panel stacks and its products (chipboards, MDF panels, multilayer panels, plyw it is highly intuitive thanks to “eye-M”, the new 21’’ touch screen control panel and the software Maestro Cut, to manage materials stock, off-cuts stock and parts handling management during machining. Furthermore, the modular Flexcut device enables the processing of complex cutting patterns in very rapid cycle time, using brushless motors sliding on prismatic guide with recirculating balls screw that reduces mechanical parts friction and guarantees best precision. Cycle time is further reduced thanks to the “SAW-SET” device that in a few seconds carries out fast and precise tools adjustment, allowing an intuitive use of the machine and a productivity increase. gabbiani s can also be perfectly integrated inside flexstore EL storages. Fast and high-quality edge banding EVA and Polyurethane glue thanks to the SGP glue pot which allows to edge in an optimal way ensuring the highest quality of the panel. In response to the increasing demand for solutions able to manage the entire edgebanding process by using a single operator, the new „Fastback“ panel return devices are now available starting from the olimpic range. Pressing: an extended range to cater for all market sectors SCM also intends to further strengthen its role as a pressing segment player with an even wider range of solutions, able to respond to all market requirements, particularly in the field of panel and door machining. sergiani hot presses become even more competitive. The new sergiani gs manual press is available from one to five daylights with 20 to 200 ton vertical thrust. Highly precise and versatile machine, it is the best option for the production of laminated and veneered panels, hollow-core doors and multi-layered panels. Furthermore, SCM sergiani presses offer several solutions that range from continuous edge glued beam panels production with automatic loading/unloading and composition (sergiani gsl-a) or manual loading (sergiani gsl-k), to pressing both solid and plywood curved panels and kitchen doors production (sergiani gs c/ hf), up to cold presses (sergiani pf) for multi-layer panels gluing, laminated panels and 2 or 3-layers parquet; and 2D-3D laminating panels, both with veneer and PVC or ABS (sergiani 3d form). www.scmgroup.com Faster, precise production - consistently oriented to high quality standards. It is the outstanding result guaranteed by SCM edge banding technologies. The „Maestro Pro Edge“ software designed for SCM edge banders ensures fast, error-free production in line with the high quality standards expected by the market. On display at the fair, the new „eye-M“ HMI with „21.5“ multitouch screen with 3D preview of the processed panel, the new AirFusion+ device which, compared to the previous version, achieves an Airfusion/zero glue line productivity increase by 10%, cutting both start-up times and operating pressures by 50% and the use of SCM Maestro connect No. 4 • October 2018 31
