PISTORIUS - MACHINE CO., INC.
MODEL VN-A2,
Semi Automatic Air Operated VEE-NAIL™ Frame Assembly
Machine
|
|
| |
Generation 2 Model VN-A2 VEE-NAIL™ Frame assembly
machine is designed for medium to high production requirements
where compressed air is available.
Adjustments
for VEE-NAIL™positions are fast and positive assuring repetitive
nail positions. Most hardwoods, softwoods, fiberboard and solid
plastic extrusions can be assembled with ease.
Optional totally enclosed pressure feed glue dispenser is
available for all models. |

The machine is equipped with a shielded foot pedal which simultaneously
actuates the vertical top clamp and the horizontal inside or "rabbet
clamp". Only when the foot pedal is held down is the VEE-NAIL™ driving
circuit enabled. When the front mounted power switch is in the "off"
position the machine will not function.
The unique and exclusive "power handle" performs two important
and time saving functions. Moving the power handle from front to
rear, positions the VEE-NAIL™ driver. Fully adjustable
nail position stops with calibrated scales are provided. A pointer
and scale are provided for reference when inserting nails between
the two stop positions. A slight left pressure on the power handle
drives the VEE-NAIL™ fastener into the joint. The fasteners
can be inserted at any point along the miter joint and can be stacked
at will by driving more than one nail in a given position. Once
the material is clamped it never moves. The VEE-NAIL™ unit
moves below the material for multiple nail positions to assure the
highest quality, tightest possible miter joint. Unlike pneumatic
staple and nail guns. VEE-NAIL™ fasteners are driven
with high pressure and low velocity, eliminating the danger of flying
nails.

The machine is available in both bench and floor models to meet
individual space, operational and budgetary requirements. The optional
floor stand is adjustable vertically within a 6" {152mm} range
for the best working height to suit the operator. The optional floor
stand allows the machine to be swiveled within a 180 degree range
for ease of use {vertical or horizontal} and for accessibility to
working components located in the machine cabinet. Flared legs provide
greater stability and less interference with the operators feet.

Operating controls are simple, user friendly and well arranged for
ease of use. Independent regulators with gauges are provided for
both the horizontal {rabbet} clamp and the vertical clamp. The powerful
tandem cylinder vertical clamp is quickly adjustable for the material
height to achieve the shortest possible cycle. A soft face, V shaped
clamp pad provides maximum holding power and prevents damage to
delicate or soft wood moldings. The top clamp adjustable rod is
provided with multiple indents that provide positive non-slip clamping.

The horizontal {rabbet} clamp is a quick set,
drop in type that allows assembling frames down to 2-1/2" {64mm}
inside, Spring loaded, serrated jaws provide a powerful gathering
force to tightly hold the faces of the miters together during the
nailing cycle. The machine is quiet cycling and consumes a nominal
amount of compressed air per cycle.
The
ground steel table is nickel plated with a low luster matte finish
to eliminate glare. Fences are easily adjustable for 45, 30 and
22 1/2 degree miters and are offset to allow for dirt and glue build
up.

Many thoughtful conveniences are included as
standard features. A low nail level light alerts the operator to
reload. Easy access to load VEE-NAIL™ brand fasteners
are advanced by air cylinder, not a spring for a positive jam free
nail feed. A light weight, compact machine, easily portable an ships
via UPS for the lowest possible shipping costs.
The
machine is provided as standard with all facilities to upgrade to
the more automated models. All pneumatic, electric an mechanical
components are enclosed within the 1/8" {3mm} thick steel cabinets
and are modular in design for quick, easy replacement and maintenance.
The machine cabinet and optional floor stand are painted in a neutral
tone, highly durable, baked on powder coat finish.

Important Warning :
It is extremely important that operators be thoroughly instructed
in the proper and safe operation of the machine prior to use. VEE-NAIL™ stampings
have sharp edges and can cause serious injury. Hands and fingers
must be kept out of the clamping and nail driving area at all times.
When the machine is not use or is undergoing maintenance or adjustments,
disconnect and lock out electrical and pneumatic service. Safety
guards must never be removed except during maintenance. The machine
must not operated unless in perfect operating condition and all
guards and safety devices are securely in place and in proper adjustment.
