Drill and dowel production

The Gannomat Spectrum 50 has a belt fed return or thru-feed platform, allowing it to use two sides of 25-spindle drillheads, capable of drilling and inserting 16 dowels in under 5 seconds with only one operator.  The Spectrum 50 can also run two parts at a time, making it the fastest way to drill and insert dowels into stretchers and frames, according Akins Machinery - Gannomat Division. Designed especially for companies that inventory doweled workpieces, the machine features a relatively small footprint in relation to the volume of parts that can be output, Akins says.
