Martin T27 Flex BASE Tilting Spindle Moulder

A spindle moulder must be efficient and versatile, just like every other production machine. A modern touchscreen control is exactly what is required in today's woodworking facility; minimising set-up times and increasing production. On the T27 Flex, you can easily adjust the cutting height via the electronic controller and the cutting depth via handwheel according to the digital display. As soon as you activate a tool, both values will indicate the actual position in relation to the table and fence jaws. The standard features of the T27 Flex include an automatic star-delta starter, two EMERGENCY STOP buttons, lockable main switch and electric wear-free spindle brake. A 5-pole socket with plug for connecting a power feeder is also included in the basic equipment. The machine is also supplied with a convenient switch to change the rotational direction of the spindle.

By adding further controlled axis, you can upgrade the T27 Flex to a profiling centre with up to 5 controlled axis. Every additional axis is fully integrated in the operating electronics and networked with the other axis, making it a true performer.

Not so for the T27 Flex with its modern touchscreen controller. The controller's integrated tool conversion enables the operator to make efficient use of the wide tilting range of the T27 Flex (2 x 46°), allowing them to set up even complex moulding patterns with a tilted spindle in a flash. No matter whether you work with the spindle tilted to the front or to the back, the controller prompts you in setting up the moulding process. Cutting height, cutting angle, everything is structured in an obvious way for the operator. After activating the tool, the controller will indicate the location to reference the tool in relation to the table and fence jaws. In this way, setup procedures that used to be very time-consuming can be performed rapidly, a major step in the direction of more flexibility and efficiency for the operator.

On the T27 Flex, up to six axis can be motorised and controlled. In addition to the cutting height and cutting angle, the cutting depth, the infeed jaw of the fence, the table opening, and the height setting of the feed support can be adjusted by the controller. Up to 1000 tools and 1000 programs can be stored in the controller. A powerful search function as well as "group" and "favourite" functions assist the operator in selecting the needed profiles. On the basic machine, the entire fence is adjusted with an easily accessible handwheel via a digital display; the infeed jaw is also adjusted with a handwheel according to a Vernier scale.

Besides the proven MARTIN DornFix quick-change system that is used on the basic T27 machine, two versions of pneumatically clamping HSK tools are also available. The HSK system is especially suited for those who want to use their shaper as an effective supplement to their shapers or CNC processing centres. Besides HSK85 "PowerLock", we also offer the HSK63F system. Using this technology, you can easily adapt the tooling of a CNC processing centre directly to the shaper, freeing up your router from time consuming traverse moulding jobs, thereby reducing bottlenecks.

A further refinement is the introduction of the 'SELECT' range of Industry machines. We have looked at the most popular options chosen by customers over the last three years added them to the basic machine and called them 'SELECT' these machines will be favourably priced and will cover the majority of our customers needs . We will endeavour to keep these machines stocked in the UK so if you are business and need a machine quickly Axminster should be able to help.
