Control Unit - Absolute & Relative Positioning
The control unit allows absolute and relative positioning and
each adjustment can be stored. The absolute positioning offers
you advantages when working with one certain combination of
tool and cutting result, such as the window profile for IV
68 (German style profile). You just need to store the positions
of the arbor and the fence – it’s so simple!
Absolute Positioning
Height: position of the cutter arbor in the arbor bearing
Depth:
position of fence front to the centre of the arbor
Example: Window
profile for IV 68 (German style profile) is adjusted. The indicated
dimensions of spindle position and fence position are memorised.
Combined with the ring inserted under the tool a clearly determined
cutting result is achieved.
Applications: fix combination
of tool and cutting result, e.g. used for manufacturing tilt
and turn window and entrance door frames etc.
The relative positioning is very
useful when different tasks can be done with one and the same
tool, e.g. a rebate tool. You store once the position of the
tool when its flush in reference with the machine table and the
fence. You can now work according to the dimensions of your drawings.
Relative Positioning
Height: position of tool to table surface (reference plane
height)
depth: position of fence front (reference plane depth) to the
tool’s cutting-edge-circle
Example: The first step is to determine the absolute positions
of the inserted tool (e.g. rebate tool) so that the tool’s
height and depth of cut are even with the reference planes.
A further step is to use these dimensions as a basis for relative
positioning based on the position 0. You can now work with
drawing dimensions.
Application: variable combination of tool and cutting result
Motor-driven Fence
The motor-driven
fence can be detached in an instant, e.g. for ring fence work,
and can be quickly remounted after work. With the additional
swinging support, the fence can be swung to the rear without
any great effort.

Customisation
DORNFIX
The DORNFIX system, a quick arbor changing
system developed by Martin, comes with the basic machine and
allows effortless changes of arbors and tools within seconds.
Thus the set-up time can be reduced to a minimum.
