The STR Semi Automatic Finger Joint Press Assembly Machine is a woodworking press designed to assemble and clamp finger-jointed wood pieces, producing strong, precise joints for furniture, cabinetry, laminated beams and panel production.
Semi-automatic means some operations are automated (pressing/holding cycles and controls) while other tasks—such as loading pieces, applying glue and removing finished assemblies—are performed by the operator.
Key specs include: electrical supply 400V/50Hz 3-phase, motor/saw power 1.5 kW, spindle speed 3600 rpm, blade diameter 300 mm, max joint length 2500 mm, max joint width 120 mm, max thickness 80 mm, max jointing force 9000 KG, machine dimensions 3500×750×1200 mm, package size 70×90×130 cm and single-item gross weight listed as 300 kg.
The machine requires a 400V/50Hz 3-phase electrical supply with appropriate circuit protection and isolation. Have a qualified electrician handle wiring and verify available supply can support the 1.5 kW motor(s). A stable, level floor and adequate workspace around the 3500 mm length are recommended.
The provided spec shows an "Air Pressure" field with an unclear value. Many finger joint presses use pneumatics for clamping; confirm actual pneumatic requirements (pressure and flow) with the supplier before installation.
The machine handles wood up to 80 mm thickness, 120 mm width for jointing, and lengths up to 2500 mm. It is suitable for common solid woods, engineered lumber and laminates used in furniture and beam/panel manufacturing—verify suitability for very hard or exotic species with the manufacturer.
A 9000 KG maximum jointing force indicates the press can apply very high clamping pressure to ensure tight, durable finger joints and good glue penetration, resulting in stronger assemblies and reliable production quality.
The machine lists a blade diameter of 300 mm and spindle speed of 3600 rpm. Use cutters/blades specified by the manufacturer for finger-joint profiles, and replace or re-sharpen according to usage. Incorrect tooling can reduce joint quality and increase wear.
Typical steps: prepare and clean mating surfaces, apply adhesive, load and align workpieces in the jig, initiate the semi-automatic press cycle to clamp the joint, hold for required cure time, then release and remove the assembly. Follow adhesive manufacturer cure times and machine clamping recommendations.
Use standard machine guards, emergency stop, and interlocks where provided. Operators should wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and dust masks/respirators. Follow lockout/tagout procedures during maintenance and ensure guards remain in place while operating.
Basic maintenance: daily cleaning of chips and glue; routine lubrication of moving parts per manual; weekly inspection of clamps, seals and fasteners; periodic inspection of blades, spindle bearings and electrical connections. Replace worn parts and follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.
Allow space for the 3500×750×1200 mm machine footprint plus operator access and material handling. Provide a stable floor, appropriate electrical supply, dust extraction port near cutting areas, and space for loading long workpieces up to 2500 mm.
Common accessories include spare cutters/blades, clamping fixtures, dust-collection adapters and automation or infeed/outfeed options. Contact the supplier for OEM spare parts kits and available upgrades compatible with the STR model.
Warranty terms vary by supplier—contact your vendor for details on warranty coverage, local service, spare parts availability and technical support or training options for operators and maintenance staff.
The listed "Weight: 2 KG" appears to be an error. Given the machine dimensions and the stated single gross (crated) weight of 300 kg, expect the actual machine weight to be much closer to the gross weight. Confirm net and shipping weights with the supplier before purchase or shipping.
