FACE-SS CNC Face Routing & Drilling
NEW 010610-K

The KVAL FACE-SS is a computer-controlled router and drill for mortise lock function holes, viewers and routed pockets necessary for exit devices and card locks. The machine features four 3HP TEFC high frequency routers. Two routers are mounted above the door and two routers are mounted below the door. All holes larger than 3/8” are routed either into one of the door faces for half holes, or from both sides for through holes, with the bits almost touching in the middle of the bore. This eliminates any danger of tear-out on the door face.

For holes smaller than 3/8”, two 1/3HP TEFC high frequency motors, each equipped with quick change chucks are mounted above the door and two identical motors are mounted below the door.

The main carriage for X-axis travel is mounted on 35mm precision rail bearing ways. Precision rail bearing ways are also used for the Y-axis and Z-axis movements. All three axes are powered by AC servo motors. Computer control is provided with a solid state motion controller that is connected to a PC computer, which provides the operator interface and program storage.

KVAL software makes it simple for the non-programmer to quickly and efficiently create and run new lock templates. Once created, literally thousands of templates can be stored for immediate retrieval, making machine set-up almost instantaneous. Template naming and retrieval methods can be customized, including selection from a bar code affixed to the door itself. Inquire for more details.
To create a new template, the Windows-based program developed by KVAL provides a menu to add holes, slots or rectangles to complete a pattern file. The software also features a display function to visually show the operator what has been programmed. To prevent having to program four patterns for each lock, selector switches allow a single pattern to be used for both hands and reverse swing doors.

Typical cycle times for the Face are 60 seconds for a lever lock prep, including 2-1/8” hole and a pair of screw holes. Cycle times for function holes for most mortise locks are also about 60 seconds. Card lock preps take 120-150 seconds, depending on the brand and door core.

EDGE-SS CNC Door Edge Mortising
NEW 010610A-K

 The Edge SS is a computer-controlled router designed to machine architectural doors for Hinge pockets, T-strikes, concealed closures, flush bolts, leaf and European hinges, end pivots and re-railing & re-stiling or other mortises up to 4-1/2” deep that can be cut with a router bit. Optional secondary mortising unit makes it possible to also machine deep mortise locks up to 5-1/2” deep.

Design features include two heavy duty 7-1/2 HP 3 phase high frequency motors mounted to carriage that pivots from 0 to 3 degrees bevel. One motor is right hand rotation and the second motor is left hand rotation. The computer automatically selects the proper motor to cut into the door to eliminate chipout and then switches to the second motor, if necessary, to prevent chipout at the other end of the cut.

AC servomotors, precision rack and pinion and ball screw drives are used for X, Y and Z travel. The X axis travel is 130", the Y axis travel is 20" and Z axis travel is 9-1/2". Feed speeds up to 2400 inches per minute can be programmed.

For control, our ergonomically located electrical panel contains a Pentium compatible computer connected to a solid state motion controller. The computer allows an almost limitless number of routing patterns to be stored for instantaneous set-up.

Edgemenu Software: Programming has been developed to automatically generate the most common CNC programming with graphics screens.

For example, one graphic screen shows a drawing of a door stile with hinge pockets. The operator just fills in blank dimensions for hinge depth, locations, backset radius and bevel and the computer tells the machine what to do. If the pattern is a standard, it can be named “Ceco,” for example, and recalled without re-typing dimensions next time.

The same method is used with other screens for flush bolts, roller catches, “T” strikes, dead bolt plates and mortise locks. The software also makes it simple to put together combination programming with fill in the blanks for mortising locations so continuous machining can be done. For example, the router could automatically machine a top manual flush bolt then move down to machine a dead bolt plate, a “T” strike, then and the bottom manual flush bolt.

The machine tabletop is “L” shaped and consists of inverted caster wheels so doors are easy to position. The “L” shape allows routing of either rails or stiles by rotating the door. Three doorstops are provided at 4’ intervals. The first stop at the corner of the “L” table is used for both stile and rail routing depending on door orientation. For opposite swing doors the middle and far end stops are used for rails and stiles. This makes it easy to machine top and bottom flush bolts and a “T” strike without turning the door over.

In operation, the operator can enter the details for the next door while the current door is being processed, so no time is lost between jobs. The screen and switches are used to select door thickness, position of machining and left or right hand machining. For instance, a “T” strike pattern called SCHLAGET is specified at 44-1/2”, the operator selects SCHLAGET as the pattern, enters 44-1/2” and when the next door is clamped in position, the machine automatically machines the “T” as specified. If the next door gets the same treatment, the “Start” button can be pressed again to repeat the pattern.
