Structure And Function; Advantages & Special Features Of The Machine - HOKUBEMA PANHANS 436/100 Operating Manual

3.5 Structure and Function

•
The machine has a heavy, well-shaped construction and meets all the requirements of modern wood pro-
cessing.
•
The large-surface machine stand guarantees a safe stand and vibration-free running.
•
The thicknessing table is double-guided and equipped with two adjustable table rollers with ball bearings
(see chapter  11).
•
The height of the thicknessing table is adjusted by an electric motor via position controller unit (refer to
section  10). The exact height is entered as a setpoint and automatically positioned at "Start".
•
The safety cutter block is equipped with a four-knife shaft that is dynamically balanced and runs in special
ball bearings. Other cutter types are optionally available (see section  16.1).
•
The feed during thickness planing is effected by a pole-changing three-phase motor. The feed speed (7 or
14 m/min.) can be changed during operation by means of a selector switch. An infinitely variable feed
speed from 3 to 24 m/min is available as an option (see section  16.2).
•
The suction nozzle for thickness planing is located at the rear of the machine and can be turned to the
right and left.
•
The machine is driven by a three-phase motor with mechanical motor brake. It has a central circuit with
push-button and motor protection switch.
•
All operating elements and switches are mounted on the front and are therefore easily accessible. The
main switch is at the rear of the machine and also serves as emergency stop.
•
The protective devices comply with the regulations of the German "Employer's Liability Insurance Associa-
tion for Wood".
3.6 Advantages & Special Features of the Machine
•
The 436|100 thickness planer can be used for thickness planing on the full planing width (630 mm) with a
chip removal of max. 8 mm.
•
In addition to its compact and robust steel construction, it is distinguished by the extremely smooth and
quiet running of its dynamically balanced blade shaft.
•
The maintenance-free bearing design with high-performance precision ball bearings guarantees long-last-
ing reliability. The finely planed cast iron thicknessing table is mounted vibration-free and tilt-proof on 4
table spindles and ensures a perfect planing pattern.
•
A rubber infeed and outfeed roller each with a diameter of 90 mm ensure optimum feed of the workpiece.
•
Thanks to the powerful main motor with 7.5 kW, even very large chip removals can be realised without
compromise.
•
The height of the thicknessing table is adjusted via the 4.3" touch screen position controller.
•
The 436|100 thickness planer is designed with compact and ergonomic machine dimensions.
