It seems to some that a lot is not required to start the business of manufacturing windows with double-glazed windows. It is quite enough to buy wood and furniture and equip the room. It is possible, according to some, to purchase inexpensive equipment for the production of wooden eurowindows. But this is not entirely true: in order to have a stable income, it is necessary not only to ensure high quality products, but also to work on a certain technological process.
Profiles
In Russia, as in other European countries, the most widespread are the windows of the "German type". They have a drainage profile in the lower part of the frame, rotary or tilt-and-turn fittings on the folds of the sashes, two contours of rubber seals and a double-glazed window. The most common dimensions of a wooden profile are 68x80 and 78x86 millimeters.
Equipment
The production technology of wooden eurowindows involves their manufacture on milling machines. In some cases, a corner window center is also used. The first option is more economical. Equipment for the production of wooden eurowindows can be conventionally divided into two categories: primary and secondary.
The first includes drying chambers with a hydraulic press or sheath and planing equipment. The second type of equipment includes equipment used in the creation and processing of wooden blanks. These are the machines:
- calibrating profiles;
- grinding type ШЛПС;
- mills for the production of wooden eurowindows.
The main material for such windows are ash, pine and oak. Self-made production of timber is advisable only when it is possible to purchase cheap raw materials, sawing it, as well as drying and press.
This process is considered rather troublesome, therefore, with small volumes of orders, it is easier to buy timber. For the manufacture of window parts, it is necessary to draw up a specification of the blanks, and then drive the profiles on the milling machine.
Machine selection
The most common today is domestic equipment for the production of wooden eurowindows. These are FSH-1A milling machines, although some prefer to use Chinese models such as Corvette, JET or Encore. When choosing, the main parameters should be mass and power. It is advisable to buy milling machines with a carriage and a cast bed. In addition, you must purchase a set of mills for the manufacture of windows.
To save money, some dwell on a technique that does not have a tenon-cutting group, and therefore assemble parts on a dovetail. But in this case, it must be borne in mind that at a forty-five-degree angle, you can connect workpieces only with the same profiles.
Woodworking Machines
If the manufacturer plans to work only on individual applications and exclusive forms, it will be quite enough for him only such equipment for the production of wooden euro-windows, as a corner processing center.
This unit allows, without replacing the working tool, to perform operations on the formation of spikes and eyes, “cut” the bars along the length, milling longitudinal profiles, regardless of their size and configuration. The main requirement for wood is compliance with established standards.
Types of profiles and features of their processing
The most common profile for the production of wooden eurowindows is glued beams.Its main advantages are low cost, high strength, as well as resistance to deformation. At the same time, from ordinary hardwood or coniferous species, as well as especially valuable ones - eucalyptus, meranti, etc. - frames are made mainly at the request of the customer. They are too expensive and complicated to process, so putting the materials “on stream” to the manufacturer is usually not profitable.
Production technology
The first step in production is the drying of wood, in which capillary moisture is first removed. In modern production, this process is controlled by a computer that reads all the features of the breed and the thickness of the lumber. After drying, the production of timber follows. Wooden window profiles are made either from solid wood or according to the technology of layer gluing.
The next stage is the transformation of a wooden beam into window profiles with a given section and shape, as well as a selection of grooves. The quality of the processed surface is characterized by minimal roughness. High purity and precise geometry are obtained in the process of milling rocks using high-tech woodworking equipment. It is quite expensive and requires highly qualified personnel.
Special wood processing is considered one of the important conditions for extending the service life of eurowindows. It provides for impregnation, then a primer and painting.
Features
The most common mistake among many novice manufacturers is their desire to buy an inexpensive machine for the production of wooden eurowindows. This is wrong, because the accuracy in the determination of dimensions and the quality requirements for blanks make us treat this issue differently.
In any case, those who have long been working in this market believe that they can not do without specialized processing machines. These are, for example, centers such as the LGC-1000, designed to produce up to a thousand square meters of products per month.
Price
All equipment for the production of wooden eurowindows is estimated at an average of one million rubles. The set includes two machines - profiling and tenoning.
In addition to them, several more units of additional equipment are required in the production, starting with the pneumogillotine and ending with the window holder.
Requirements are also imposed on the size of the workshop premises, the area of which should not be less than four hundred square meters.
To make the wooden euro-window in the interior look like real “furniture” and really have high quality, its manufacture is carried out on the expensive German equipment of M.Weinig AG, which today is a recognized market leader.
