Vertical CNC machining center D-Jet

for wooddrilling

Overview
The Format4 D-Jet is a CNC-controlled drilling and dowel insertion centre for space-saving industrial cabinet production or stand-alone use by specialized workshops. The machine features a very small footprint (approx. 3.5 m²), pendulum operation for high throughput and rapid changeover, and integrated automation options.

Benefits

• Intuitive 24" touch-screen control for fast program execution
• Flexible joint and connector processing with optional modules
• Compact footprint enabling dense production layouts
• Pendulum operation supports processing of up to four workpieces simultaneously
• Automatic dowel/anchor insertion via large oscillating feeder for uninterrupted cycles

Key features

• DH6 drilling head: 3 vertical spindles, 3 horizontal spindles, 1 grooving saw in X direction
• Pendulum operation standard with 2 working areas; 4 areas available on request
• Standard workpiece clamps: 4 (6 optional)
• Automatic anchor/dowel insertion: oscillating feeder; anchor diameters standard 8 mm (options 5, 6, 10 mm); lengths 20–40 mm; tool-free length adjustment
• Automatic central lubrication for X, Y, Z guide carriages and bearing spindles
• Phenolic resin work table and optional table extensions for large/heavy panels
• Linear guidance: hardened & polished linear guides with recirculating ball bearings; X-axis via cambered rack & pinion; Y/Z via polished recirculating ball spindle
• F4®Integrate CNC software: F4Toolbox (tool library), F4Create (CAM) and F4Operate (machine operation)
• Ergonomic front footswitch bar for operator convenience

Operation / Working area

• Designed for productive pendulum operation (2 working areas standard; 4 optional)
• Retractable fences allow processing up to length/width 2800 mm and height 80 mm (standard large area up to 1400 mm; optional extension to 2800 mm)
• Minimum processable component size on large area: length/width ≥ 20 mm, height ≥ 10 mm

Applications

• Industrial cabinet production as supplement to CNC nesting lines or as stand-alone machine
• Processing and insertion of various dowel/anchor systems and specialised connectors (e.g. Lamello Clamex P, OVVO/Lockdowel) with optional additional units
