The  long tool life of diamond tools combined with an optimized chip-breaker on the CVD diamond cutter can increase machining productivity by up to 35 per cent and reduce processing costs by up to 80 per cent. For high performance machining and continuous turning applications, various inserts with wiper geometries were developed.

Laser equipment is used to cut out the segments from the CVD-D blanks; these are then attached to the one-cutter inserts or milling cutters by brazing under vacuum. The chip-breakers and cutting edges are also laser formed.

In addition the controlled chip break guarantees process reliability, the reduced cutting force protects the spindle and allows the narrowest of tolerances even with delicate components. The sharp blade offers special advantages in processing CFRP, GFR and their composites.

“Our software, which can be used remotely, makes it really easy to select or adjust a cabinet’s dimensions – it even calculates how many Lamello connectors you will need to use on each design – simplifying the whole process. Once the data has been transferred to the machine, the CNC will format and drill all vertical holes and grooves and will cut-out the necessary channels for the connectors on the edges or in X and Y directions on the surface.

“Building a partnership with Lamello is extremely important to us. Our aim is to connect the industry and create an ecosystem especially for the wood industry. Think of it as a digital shop floor that is open 24/7.

“There’s also been great interest from high-production companies who are looking to improve productivity and reduce labour costs. We’ve calculated that this machine can insert one Cabineo every three seconds, making it extremely efficient. It’s this level of flexibility and innovation that makes Lamello an ideal partner for us.”

“We have been engineering solutions with Lamello for eight years. We were the first CNC producer to work with Lamello and at this year’s Ligna, we were pleased to present our first Centateq N-600 nesting machine, which has been designed to automatically insert the Cabineo.

“At Ligna, we presented the Brema Vektor 15 CS vertical boring machine. It features a built-in unit for inserting glue and dowels but the beauty of this machine is its flexibility. It has already been customised to insert Lamello’s Cabineo and Clamex connectors automatically, making it the ideal solution for batch one manufacturers.

“We were keen to show visitors just how versatile our products could be when partnered with Lamello’s P-System. Our stand featured several P-System-ready machines, including the NexTex 4.0, which can be modified to suit the needs of the customers. It has been designed to work with the Clamex and Cabineo and offers a completely digitalised production cycle.

The name Lamello is synonymous with jointing technology. On its Interzum and Ligna stands were solutions for fixing panels swiftly and easily, fixing shelves inside cabinets, jointing solid wood, and a full range of hand-held machines made by Lamello in Switzerland.

The CVD cutting material is harder than PCD and twice as wear-resistant. Because of this and its other properties, CVD delivers various benefits when milling and turning - from rough machining to micro milling - of long-chipping aluminum and magnesium alloys, high-silica aluminum as well as of precious metal alloys, plastics with abrasive fillers, tungsten carbide and ceramic green compacts.

“We want to work with forward-thinking companies that understand the importance of being part of a community and work with them to create new business models in the market. We think Lamello is a perfect fit for us and its experience in the sector shows commitment to the industry.”

“It makes the whole process extremely efficient and Lamello’s connectors are the ideal solution for customers who need the flexibility to flat pack their furniture without the quality being affected.”

“This is one of many innovations we’ve designed to work with Lamello which is, in part, due to the growing number of our customers using Lamello fixings. Homag has been a driving force behind automisation in the industry for many years and partnerships such as this add value to our product line and benefit our customers massively.”

“We are the first machinery manufacturer to create an aggregate that not only drills and routers the panel but also inserts the fixings, offering an extremely efficient way to use Lamello’s connectors. In this case, one machine really does offer a complete solution and we were excited to show live demonstrations throughout the show.

Lamello users can now avail themselves of fast drilling and insertion on a variety of CNC machines made by Lamello’s partners that have been fitted with special aggregates and suit the needs of small craftsmen right through to flat-pack producers. We took the opportunity at Ligna to talk to several:

The undulating-chip breaker reduces contact of the chip with the insert surface, which considerably reduces heat formation and energy consumption. The extreme chip angle of up to 25° produces a soft cut and reduces burr formation to a minimum. This increases tool life compared to PCD cutters.

In the first expansion phases, ISO inserts in types C, D and V along with different types of milling cutters were equipped with the CVD thick film. The next phase will include Supermini® and Mini tool systems.

“All of Biesse’s machines are predisposed to work with Lamello’s connectors due to the volume of interest in its product range. We offer complete flexibility across our range and as such, we have the possibility to create solutions that can work with one or more of Lamello’s connectors.
