Durasein's Rooted Collection merges the warmth and visual texture of nature with solid surface technology, and is available in richly textured hickory, weathered barnwood and other wood styles. Ideal for use in applications including healthcare, hospitality, entertainment and education, the panels are resistant to scratches, impact, heat, and even fire, the company adds.

Surface Mode is Chemetal's new way of creating metal designs. The company says it started with its popular ALU look, aluminums finished with ambient industrial black, put them on thicker metals and overlaid carved CNC designs. Custom design options are also available. Ideal for interior spaces, panel sizes are 4’ x 8’ size and 0.09” thick.

Biesse says its Elix Series horizontal drill, glue and dowel insertion machine features advanced technologies that make sure glue and dowels are properly inserted. The numerical control is the same PC-driven technology used on the Rover line. Elix is a key machine for efficient cabinet manufacturing cells, the company adds, with a variety of sizes and options available to suit specific customer needs.

ShopBot Tools has expanded the capability of the 96’x48’ ShopBot PRSalpha ATC with the addition of a 6" rotary indexer. The company says the combination of the rotary indexer with the full-size PRSalpha ATC opens up more possibilities for 3D carving while still allowing space to cut full 4’x8’ sheets of plywood. ShopBot’s PRSalpha ATC tools are available in standard sizes, as well as larger and customizable configurations.

Available from Biesse on all Viet sanders, ARS (Auto Return System) enables the machine to detect when a component has exited, opens so the part can be freely transported back without interference, returns the part to the infeed, and automatically closes to the original thickness for the next pass. One operator can handle large dimension/heavy components, eliminating manual labor costs, minimizing plant floor space requirements, and lowering the risk of personal injury, Biesse adds.

Aqua Coat Clear Lacquer is a water-based, premium-grade, non-yellowing clear acrylic topcoat created to replace solvent-based lacquers. The company says the interior product has exceptional clarity and mar resistance, exhibits superior flow and leveling properties and is self-crosslinking to produce fast-drying films. Aqua Coat Clear Lacquer can be used on wood stock, cabinets, trim, metal, and plastic coatings.

The Unidry-G drying oven drastically reduces dry times when compared to traditional drying technologies, according to Cefla. The unique drying system generates an intense but controlled amount of infrared energy, which when combined with air movement allows for efficient and clean drying, the company adds.

MB Maschinenbau says the ROBA Fentech moulding sander is ideal for batch one windows and mouldings. The laser-based part recognition at the machine inlet allows all sanding units to move into the required position, while a newly developed vacuum transport system holds short parts securely and four double brush units process the workpieces on all sides. Using the part return option, profiles can be processed by just one person.
