Author: Jack; Last Modify: Mar 30, 2021

The panel CNC furniture production line realizes the file transfer between software and equipment. And it can also realize the transfer platform connection among the different CNC machines. It is a production method that enables the production of furniture to be intelligent and automated. This production method can not only save labor costs, save plates, but also improve processing efficiency and improve product quality. Therefore, CNC furniture production plans with different combinations are becoming more and more popular among furniture manufacturers.

Why choose the CNC furniture production plan?

We all know that traditional panel CNC furniture production is generally drawing by carpenter master-calculating and dismantling-row holes-sliding table saw cutting-row drilling holes-edge banding machine edge banding-trial assembly-packing. This production method has disadvantages such as high labor costs and low production efficiency. Therefore, traditional processing methods are no longer sufficient to meet people’s processing requirements. Instead, panel CNC furniture production lines with different combinations is becoming more and more popular.

The production cost and processing effect of different production line schemes are different. Choosing the CNC furniture production plans should be based on your own production conditions.

For example, if you need to process about 40 plates in 8 hours a day, you can choose 4 steps CNC nesting machine + edge banding machine + side hole machine.

If you want to process about 60-70 sheets in 8 hours a day, then you can choose a dual-process drilling package nesting CNC router + edge banding machine + side hole drilling machine.

Then if the processing plate is between 60 sheets to 100 sheets, then you should select the machining center with automatic load and unload platform + automatic edge banding machine + CNC six-sided drilling machine.

However, if the processing volume is more than 100 boards, you need to choose a fully automated panel furniture CNC cutting machine production line.

The following are the processing effects achieved by each CNC machine in the CNC furniture production plan.

  1. Fully automatic CNC nesting machine:  it can mainly realize the punching, grooving, and cutting the front and back of panel furniture.
  2. Edge banding machine: Fully automatic edge banding machine is used for linear edge banding after the plate is cut. It is recommended to choose an edge banding machine with a profiling tracking function, which has a moderate degree of automation and excellent processing effect. If it is used for edge banding of special-shaped plates, it is recommended to choose a curved edge banding machine for processing.
  3. Side hole drilling machine: Infrared side hole machine is mainly used for the drilling of side holes after the plate is cut. Generally, it can be connected with two CNC nesting machines for production and processing.
  4. Auxiliary equipment: These machines are mainly used for panel saws, auxiliary air compressors, and other auxiliary tools and equipment for backplate processing.

The second standard CNC furniture production plan:

This is a set of standard CNC furniture production plans. It is mainly including a fully automatic CNC nesting machine, edge banding machine, five-sided drill / six-sided drilling machine if matched with five-sided drill, and other auxiliary equipment. It can be used for whole house custom production and can process more than 75 boards (standard size: 2.44*1.22 meters) every 8 hours. The following are the processing effects achieved by each machine in the production line plan.

  1. Fully automatic CNC cutting center: used for cutting and blanking of large plates. It is recommended that an automatic labeling machine is used for accurate labeling. After supporting professional panel furniture design software, the bar code of the panel can be printed in advance for automatic labeling and cutting. , Cutting machine processing does not need to be turned over.
  2. Edge banding machine: Fully automatic edge banding machine is used for linear edge banding after the plate is cut. It is recommended to choose an edge banding machine with a profiling tracking function, which has a moderate degree of automation and excellent processing effect. If it is used for edge banding of special-shaped plates, it is recommended to choose a curved edge banding machine for processing.
