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.
