The raw density profile is one of the central material characteristics of wood based panels. The STENOGRAPH provides important information for the specific influence of the characteristics of wood based panels by reliably measuring the raw density profile.

ast week GreCon had introduced the new raw density profile measuring system STENOGRAPH at the IWF 2016 fair in Atlanta (USA). The new GreCon STENOGRAPH can reliably measure the raw density profile of MDF panels inline from a thickness of 6 mm upL to a thickness of 42 mm.

v Making of Modular Furniture on Small Scale A practical Guide for Small Scale Furniture Manufacturer and Interior Designers

When it comes to produce modular furniture for a medium size project then the main worry is the quality, sturdiness and the delivery schedule. Most of the Interior design firms are making Modular furniture as per customer designs and they are always in lookout how they can produce it faster with assured quality. They want to have a setup that can meet their requirements. Few of them also need to make the furniture on larger scale as their projects are of larger area spreading on few thousand sq. meters. Hence I have decided to write a series of articles for each of the segments depending on quantity and flexibility. This article will cover making of “Modular Furniture on Small scale”. I will strive to present these articles, which should serve as a practical guide to small, medium and Industrial scale manufacturers.

The machines are of good quality but the reasons for this situation are as mentioned below. • Wrong selection of machinery

This setup will need months problems start like chipping and an investment that can range from 50 lakh to 150 lakh depending upon the source uneven cutting of panels etc. of the equipment you choose. In the market machines are available from Hobby grade to professional to industrial grade. The hobby grade machines / equipment, if used for longer working hours with heavy load conditions, will lose their accuracy. Hence we see many users having a couple of burned equipment in their factory. Hobby equipment are cheaper but if they are used for Industrial application than that will end up in to work stoppage. For this reason selection of Industrial scale equipment is suggested for uninterrupted production. The main operations in making of modular furniture are namely • Panel cutting, • Edge banding • Boring.

The second important point is the scoring blade and it’s positioning. There are few types of adjustable scoring blades available in the market.

One should inspect the vendor doing this job of sharpening and the accuracy of his machine and facilities at his workshop. If the blades are sharpened in house then one should get the machine checked for accurate working. It is often seen that the carbide tip’s thickness becomes uneven once the blade is re- sharpened. The height of the blade also changes from tip to tip. This indicates that the dividing head of the sharpening machine is not set properly or has some problem. In

Adjustable Scoring blade case of varying height of tips only few carbide tips are cutting and rest are just moving without cutting. Hence the load is transferred on few tips resulting in poor finish and bad cut. Same situation also arises in case of main blade re-sharpening. Many times it is seen that the saw blade is protruding too much causing wobbling and burnt marks on panel / wood. To avoid this one should see that only tips of the saw are protruding out of the panel and should set the blade height accordingly. Last but not the least; the board should be pressed firmly against the machine bed near the cutting area. This will result in to a smooth cut. Trapezoidal Scoring blade Edge banding When the production capacity is between 50 sheets to 250 sheets per shift then a Beam Saw is suitable. For higher production an in line Beam saw machine is suggested. In this case two beam saws are placed in line.

Slight mistake at this stage results in to over trimming or under trimming resulting in to poor finish at the edges. Many times fine dust is sticking on copying wheel resulting in to uneven trimming. Hence periodic cleaning of the copying wheel is necessary.
