Circumferencial gluing of normal plugs by means of glue rising grooves
Our two-spindle automatic knot plugging machine Alomat AL200 enables the efficient plugging of knots, pitch pockets and wood swirls. This refinement of low-grade wood improves its quality and extends its range of applications. Convince yourself of the advantages of this tried and tested technology and benefit from our many years of experience in the field of electro-pneumatically controlled automatic knot plugging machines in double design.
The Alomat AL200 works with workpiece clamping by lifting the working table. The upper side of the workpiece is clamped and aligned in such a way that the normal plug is pressed in without protrusion, regardless of the height tolerances of the workpiece and with a constant reference surface. Workpieces up to 140 mm high can be clamped and plugged. The clamping stroke is 10 mm.
Glue rising grooves (see illustration), which are automatically inserted on each normal plug, allow the glue to rise laterally along the circumference of the normal plug in glue channels towards the workpiece surface. The glue rising grooves' depth is adjustable. This ensures that the gluing always withstands the upcoming stress on the workpiece and that your finished wood retains its high quality.
The AL200 creates a tight fit for the normal plug by gluing the base and its circumference and, thanks to the increased gluing surface, improves the mechanical strength and quality of the workpiece and thus the reliability of the plugged areas compared to processes in which only the bottom is glued. In addition, there is neither a glue pool nor an air volume between the normal plug and the base of the drill hole. The normal plug is pressed in up to the bottom of the drill hole and lies on the same level as the workpiece surface. This prevents the plug from being drawn into the drill hole once the glue diffuses into the workpiece.

Add-on options for Alomat AL200
Illustrations may differ from the original
Target light
Our cross laser is used to optimally target wood defects. This means that the knot is in the center of the drill and can be completely replaced by the plug.
Workspace light
Even in poor lighting conditions, the LED workspace light guarantees illumination of the working area.
High-pressure gluing system HDL5
The high-pressure gluing sysem HDL5 enables the processing of glues with a viscosity of up to 6000 mPa*s. By increasing the glue pressure, the high-viscosity glue can be processed without any problems. This add-on is particularly necessary when using glues for outdoor use (glue class D4).
Automatic batten feed LZE-100/1
To save time, use our automatic batten feed LZE-100/1 , which greatly reduces the loading time of our automatic plugging machines. The battens required for the production of the normal plugs are kept in stock in the stacking magazine and are automatically separated after each batten ends and pushed to the starting position.
Batten length: 975 mm - 1005 mm
Batthen height: 6 mm - 16 mm
Batten width: 20 mm - 45 mm
Duration for batten change: 6 s
