Automatic Knot Plugging Machine - Alomat AL310
Alomat AL310 at a glance:
Automatic plugging of wood defects with normal plugs from batten
Short cycle time of 1.8 s
66 % less energy consumption compared to predecessor model AL100
Workpiece clamping by lowering the unit
Workpiece thickness up to 170 mm max.
10 mm clamping stroke
15 mm to 35 mm normal plug diameter
8 mm bis 16 mm normal plug thickness
Circumferencial gluing of normal plugs by means of glue rising grooves
The Alomat AL310 series is the latest development of our proven knot plugging machines. Its speed and precision are unrivaled. With 66 % energy savings compared to the predecessing series, you can work twice as fast: the Alomat AL310's cycle time of just 1.8 seconds speaks for itself!
Alomat AL310 works with workpiece clamping by lowering the unit. The advantage of this method: The height of the work table is not changed; the operating height always remains constant, regardless of the workpiece thickness. This also allows problem-free processing of long workpieces with a workpiece thickness of up to 170 mm.
During each work cycle, the normal plugs are milled from batten, which is automatically fed.
The plugging depth can be adjusted from 8 mm to 16 mm, with the workpiece clamping guaranteeing that the normal plug is pressed in without any protrusion.
Both the clamping stroke and the workpiece thickness compensation are performed from above. For this purpose, the processing slide (incl. drilling and milling unit, glue injection device and feed cylinders) is lowered.
The AL310 creates a tight fit of the normal plug by gluing the base and providing circumfranial gluing to increases the mechanical load-bearing capacity and quality of the workpiece thanks to the enlarged gluing surface. This greatly increases the reliability of the patched areas compared to processes in which only the bottom of the plug is glued. 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 normal plug from being drawn into the drill hole when the glue diffuses into the workpiece. In addition, no glue pool is created and a volume of air between the normal plug and the base of the drill hole is avoided.
The precise injection of glue prevents an unwanted glue rim, so that the surface of the workpiece remains clean and can be processed immediately.
The glue rising groove 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.

Add-on options for Alomat AL310
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
Two-hand release
The two-hand release of our Alomat AL310 is designed to fully protect your employees and prevent accidents caused by incorrect operation. This additional protection to the standard safety bar further increases operator safety minimizing the risk of entering the working area of the machine.
