ULTRA HIGH SPEED FINGER JOINT TOOLS
AceCo has introduced a new line of finger joint heads and knives to meet the changing demands of the non-structural finger joint market. As the wood industry embraces the 4.0 digital transformation with optimization and handling innovations, the age old questions still persist- How can fiber savings and resource costs be maximized. In the finger joint sector, fiber savings and the costs associated with high volume glue usage can never be ignored.
As production speeds increase and finger joints length decreases, the quality of the joint needs to be exact. AceCo’s circle bit style knives are renowned for producing the cleanest joint in the industry. Better joints ensure consistent strength properties and demands less pressure in the pressing cycle. With the ability to repost the knives through the extended life of the knife, mill personnel can rely on the exact cutting angle, calling for less machine adjustments.
AceCo’s tooling options allow for many different joint types, primarily offering a shoulder cut which helps with straighter, seamless alignment during the high speed pressing process and offering fiber material for planing that makes the finished product more appealing and accepting to coatings or paint.
Let AceCo show you how we have the perfect tip thickness and pitch to create the best joints for the demands of the 21st Century finger joint industry.
Since it’s introduction at the 2018 Ligna Wood Show, we have delivered the Eagle to customers in North America, South America, and Europe. AceCo is providing world class engineered solutions for the newest Ultra High Speed Machines AND providing creative technical solutions, delivering double digit production increases with older machines.
