Soenen®

Fully automatic sawing and machining centre

type DEM/Z ALU

Due to the concept of the machine, at the level of feeding, clamping, machining unit and sawing, the range of profiles this machine can handle is unrivalled.

Linking the SOENEN software to common controllers - with numerous possibilities to parameterise operations more optimally, resulting in time savings.

The maximum autonomy of the machines allows the operator to perform other tasks, leading to higher efficiency and productivity, lower costs and better utilisation of the production line.

  • Soenen offers a solution to the main pain points of existing systems.

  • Thanks to more than 30 CNC-controlled axes, with control from the Fanuc brand (market leader in automation and robotisation in automotive industry), manual adjustments of the machine become redundant.

  • The feeding warehouse is completely profile-independent & equipped with a profile clamp controlled on 4 CNC axes.

  • The milling section is equipped with 15 high-frequency motors , distributed on 2  toolholders.  Both toolholders can perform simultaneous  operations, each on 3 CNC axes.

  • Counterprofiling: The counterprofiling cutters are set to the correct depth and height via 3 CNC-controlled axes. This allows any counter-profiling to be programmed. Various options are possible through the combination of multiple milling motors are possible (vertical - horizontal), oblique counterprofiling possible (optional).

  • Sawing section: the saw is fully numerically controlled and can be fully parameterised for each profile, giving you the best efficiency and perfect cutting result.

    • Optional second saw is possible, e.g. for cutting profiles for glass-on-glass applications.

  • Fully automatic labelling on servo axis.

  • Output: the output system is equipped with 2 servo-controlled grippers that output the pieces at high speed and without friction. The grippers optimally position the pieces on the output : very large storage capacity.      

  • Apart outfeed system for short pieces possible (optional)

  • A unique system has been  developed in order to have a minimum of contact with the fixed parts when moving the profiles: as a result, there is almost no chance ofdamage.

  • Installation of camera for monitoring production is possible.

  • Camera recognition (cross-section - colour) possible - optional.

SOME OPTIONS EXPLAINED

Preloader system: ergonomic front loader for (heavy) profiles on supply warehouse

Camera recognition system on supply: recognition and control of shape and colour

Counterprofiling: one vertical and one horizontal milling axis. Possibility of 2 horizontal milling axes in case of oblique counterprofiling

Possibility of integrating flow drills - tapping - chamfer - .... integrate
