PATENTED methodology for unparalleled PRECISION PRODUCTS

Machining a beam all-sided without far-reaching milling units which make it impossible to achieve a precise result. That is the challenge AMD was faced in its design.

The solution was found in the, meanwhile patented, machining method of the DA machine, where the beam rotates around its axis.

The result is an exceptionally wear-resistant and accurate machine.

Very robust precise machining capabilities due to workpiece clamping in the immediate vicinity of the machining zone.
For both thin (25 x 50 mm) and thick beams 240 x 360 mm.
Cross-sectional deviations of the beams to be machined are automatically compensated, consequently no too deep or too shallow machining if dimensional deviations occur on the inserted beams
Machine with high performance at low spindle speed (a necessity when using large tools)

Full design freedom

The Do All machine is a multiple CNC machine that can deal with every imaginable machining operation on all six sides of the beam. One machine is sufficient to achieve a wide variety of machining operations, no matter how challenging.

Sawing, drilling, milling… for mortise-and-tenon connections, dovetails, notches….
Operations at an angle with complex contours
Machining of several beams on top of each other
Short pieces as short as 10 cm, even with internal machining are no problem
Automatic tool change and extensive tool magazine, dust-free and short distance (i.e. shorter manipulation distances).
The Do All machine substitutes multiple machines and work forces.

Automatic programming and optimisation

The Do-All machine is automatically programmed through BTL import. All you have to do is load the CAD model of the wood structure, and with a few clicks the machine program is generated. Spending hours programming machines and errors are things of the past.

Programming the machine straight from the CAD model, through BTL import. For effortless production of bespoke work.
The software verifies the manufacturability of the components and automatically generates the machine program.
To minimise wood waste and maximise productivity, the production is computer-optimised.
Pre-programmed operations ensure an impeccable result and avoid unproductive air milling of the machine.
The machine automatically adjusts to the beam dimensions of different beam sections and lengths interchangeably (as they were laid on the machine’s loading table).
Very fast loading, aligning and zeroing of beams of different sizes
While a workpiece is still being processed (finished), the next beam or board to be machined is fed into the machine, whereafter the following machining operations start in seconds.
Precision finished machine frame and components to one hundredth of a millimetre, consequently the products made with it are also accurate.
The AMD machine consists of machine components (frame) finished to one hundredth of a millimetre, hence no assembly of roller conveyors and tubes.
Machine also very suitable as high-speed cross-cut saw with drilling and milling capabilities
Wireless measuring system for determining the entered beam length
Intuitive user interface.
Last minute corrections

Compact, ergonomic, environmentally friendly and precise

There are no inaccurate roller conveyors and slipping drive systems.

AMD’s compact and innovative design means a machine length of 11,5 metres to process beams up to 10 m in length.

The Do All machine fits in a small workshop and requires no underfloor concreting.
The machine can be installed directly on a sturdy concrete floor.
Input and output system at manual ergonomic height
Full dust extraction ensures a pleasant, healthy and low-noise working environment.
Fine mechanical parts are not in the machining area. As a result, they are not soiled and are protected from wear.
Automatically removes sticky deposits
The exhaust air flow is constantly regulated for a dust-free production and living environment
Separate removal of residual wood and waste
The machine requires hardly no maintenance or polishing.
The machine leaves no marks (black stains on e.g. oak)
Automatic lubrication.
Marking of workpieces (e.g. useful for the construction sites)
Printing of labels to identify the finished parts.
In case of a stop during production, the process can be resumed without any problem (the workpiece does need not be removed).
Before the machine leaves AMD, it is thoroughly tested with the customer’s products, i.e. the machine does not have to be reassembled at the customer’s premises.
If utilities such as extraction, compressed air and electricity are already available before the machine is delivered, the machine can be used for production on the same day.
