The future of wooden frame processing is Heroes!

The best-in-class machine from Working Process, HEROES, is the result of a technological collaboration between Working Process and CML. It is a high-performance machining center for doors and windows, capable of producing up to 5 elements per minute. The clamping system, with 4 independent working lines, allows for flexible, high-capacity production, enabling access to all 6 sides of the piece during the work cycle. The use of additional special units allows for adaptation to specific performance and processing requirements. It can be integrated with the ‘Working Process’ branded smart loading and unloading warehouses, as well as with third-party machines such as saws/optimizers, moulders, sanders, and flow coating machines.

Ideal for producing 65 or more windows per day!

Loading System

The BB and IMML loading system is optimized for loading rows of pieces, maximizing available space, and enabling variable positioning of the pieces.

  • Automated Loading

  • Dimensional Verification

  • Layout Optimization

  • Management of Different Widths

This fully automated system can load between 1 to 10 pieces simultaneously, ensuring their optimal clamping in the grips and enabling machining on all 6 faces. Additionally, it offers dimensional verification of incoming elements, optimization of piece arrangement in rows, load preparation, and management of pieces with different widths.

Transport Clamps

The double workpiece clamping clamps are designed with pneumatic closure and independent motorized longitudinal translation. Their size and shape have been optimized to ensure the best accessibility of tools to the workpiece during processing.

These clamps are managed as independent interpolation axes, offering additional flexibility that results in increased overall production capacity. The clamps are characterized by flexibility, robustness, and adaptability, with pressure adjustment according to specific processing needs and optimal positioning on the wood to ensure an effective and high-quality grip.

Each clamp is designed to be independent, with the ability to adjust the gripping pressure, reposition infinitely without compromising precision. Additionally, they are equipped with adaptable features, such as micro-needles, to handle different work phases and anticipate future processes.

Manipulator

The manipulator with a gantry structure leverages electronic depth and height management for piece handling in the plant.

  • Pendulum Work System

  • Machine Always Powered

  • Solid Construction Made to Last

The proper sizing of the structure and the use of Gantry drives allow for high repositioning precision, extreme rigidity, and high movement speeds.

Operating Heads

The T1, T5, and TBR operating heads represent the result of 20 years of research and development. For example, the double lateral clamping systems of the T5 heads, even with integrated C-axis, offer flexibility and precision in tool positioning.

  • Stability and Precision

  • Flexibility and Strength

  • Freedom of Choice for Tooling

  • Hydraulic Release

This ensures optimal cutting conditions, reducing stress on the electrospindle.

Tool Magazine

The Tool Magazine is designed as a rack system with an electro-welded steel structure and with longitudinal sliding movement on guides with ball-bearing carriages.

  • Free Space
  • Reconfigurable Over Time

  • Freedom of Tool Positioning

  • No Fixed Positions

The system allows simultaneous tool change operations on all spindles, reducing idle times and consequently increasing productivity.

Unloading System

The proposed unloading system is highly customizable and modular, designed to ensure optimal efficiency in logistics management. Its ability to maintain a predefined work sequence ensures accurate synchronization during the unloading process, guaranteeing a seamless workflow and optimal resource utilization.

A key feature of this system is its extended operational autonomy, ranging from a minimum of 1 hour up to 3 continuous shifts (UML). This characteristic offers significant operational flexibility, minimizing downtime and allowing for continuous operations management.

The system efficiently performs unloading operations, including advanced quality controls to ensure compliance with standards. Additionally, it integrates an automatic labeling process at the end of unloading operations, simplifying material management and improving traceability.
