Woodworking Machines
Robust despite dust
Thread drives in woodworking
Screw drives for woodworking machines must operate with precision while withstanding fine wood dust, chips, and high speeds. Kammerer supplies dust-resistant ball and trapezoidal screw drives for CNC centers and traditional woodworking machines.
The Challenge: Dust
Wood dust accumulates in the threads, binds with lubricant, and increases wear. It is therefore crucial to have a spindle surface to which dust adheres and a seal that keeps the entire thread profile clean.
Our solution: swirled and well-sealed
- Whirled spindles: The thread-whirling process leaves no grinding grooves in the thread root and no rolling seam on the outer diameter. Dust has little chance of accumulating, making cleaning easier.
- Specially developed plastic scrapers with a sealing lip reliably clean the entire thread profile
- High dynamic performance and low energy consumption for fast CNC axes
- Customized to the application and batch size
For positioning axes designed to hold a load without a brake, trapezoidal threads are the robust, self-locking alternative.
Typical Applications
- CNC Machining Centers for Wood and Composite Materials
- Panel Cutting and Edge Banding Machines
- Drilling and Milling Units
- Adjustment and Positioning Axes
