"Digi-Drive“

Enter the required dimension, press Start and the thicknesser table will move precisely to the required position. Set and actual values are displayed on LED displays. Additional optional functions, such as incremental position and four programmable thicknesser table positions are available.

Outstanding stability and long-lasting precision

4 trapezoidal spindles guarantee exact adjustment precision and ensure maximum thicknessing bed load. Longitudinal guides integrated into the side of the machine chassis absorb the pressure that is put on the outfeed side and ensure that the thicknessing table is guided with an accuracy of a tenth of a millimetre.
