Dowel Inserter - magnum
magnum at a Glance:
Mobile handheld device
Easy Handling
Compact design
Only compressed air required for operation
Centering accuracy due to protruding glue nozzle
Allows to work in any position, even upside down
Choice on insertion gun for “glue + dowel” or “glue only”
We have been manufacturing dowel inserters since October 1974 and were awarded the Bavarian State Prize in Gold for the DÜPO TE2-8 inserter in 1975. Today, we produce the magnum 6/8 and magnum 8/10 machines as successor models for interior work companies and the magnum 8F for window manufacturers.
In companies of the furniture producing industry, interior design and window manufacurers, where stationary dowel insertion machines cannot be used due to small series or lack of space, the use of the magnum achieves a considerable rationalization effect.
Not requiring an electrical connection but only a compressed air connection is one of the major advantages of the magnum compared to other dowel insertion devices. In addition, the entire unit is compact, lightweight and mobile and can be used quickly in any corner of your workshop thanks to its compressed air connection. The glue pressure container holds approx. 1.4 liters of glue; this quantity is sufficient to glue approx. 10,000 dowels. The amount of glue to be injected can be easily, quickly and finely be adjusted on the insertion gun. With the easy-to-use insertion gun, you can insert dowels in any position and even on unstacked workpieces. This means you are independent of the dowel insertion location and workpiece position, and you do not need to make any major preparations before your magnum is ready to use. The dowels are always supplied individually, i.e. the dowel line is not permanently filled with dowels, but a single dowel is conveyed and driven in during each dowel insertion process. This minimizes the weight to be moved.
The advantages are obvious:
Precise positioning of the insertion gun due to protruding glue nozzle
Rapid changeover from the “dowel insertion + glue application” work cycle to the “glue application only” work cycle
No power connection required
Only compressed air connection required for operation
Compact design
Stacking of workpieces not required
Insertion direction of the insertion gun arbitrary, function independent of position
Low-maintenance glue nozzle with regular cleaning
Lightweight, ergonomic design of the insertion gun
Rebound-free dowel insertion
Dowel projection freely selectable and infinitely adjustable
Dowel lengths 25 to 45 mm (window manufacturer version magnum 8F lengths 30 to 50 mm)
Cycle time 1.2 s
Glue container volume 1.4 L; sufficient for approx. 10,000 dowels
Glue quantity infinitely variable and finely adjustable
We build the magnum dowel inserter in 2 designs:
- for interior work companies: magnum 6/8 and magnum 8/10
(Devices for processing 6, 8 or 10 mm dowel diameters and 8 to 20 mm dowel projection)
- for window manufacturers: magnum 8F
(Device processes 8 mm dowel diameter and ensures dowel projection of 11 to 25 mm)
