MODELS VN-FA2 & VN-FA3,
Fully Automatic Air Operated VEE-NAIL™ Frame Assembly Machines


 
 

Generation 2 Models VN-FA2 and VN-FA3 are designed for high production applications where set-ups will remain constant for longer production runs.

The machine is equipped with a micro processor controlled electro-pneumatic logic circuit that controls all functions flawlessly. The electronic micro processor is preprogrammed for a wide selection of VEE-NAIL™ fastener assembly sequences. The operator simply selects the number of VEE-NAIL™ fasteners to be inserted in the joint, from one to six and sets the spacing between the nails and the machine is ready. No complex computer set ups to be made. Extremely user friendly.



 
 

These machines are fast. A single cycle including clamping and inserting two VEE-NAIL™ brands fasteners is completed within 1.3 seconds. A total of six fasteners inserted in three positions takes just 2.2 seconds. With these speeds the machine is capable of producing approximately 2500 frames per seven hour day. Of course, this production rate will vary with the operator, type of material being joining, number of fasteners per corner and the size of the frames being assembled.

For larger frames the machine operates most efficiently with the optional floor stand, as shown in the illustrations above. The fully automatic sequence, actuated by footpedal, leaves the operators hands free for material handing, dramatically increasing production. The operator only needs to place the premitered pieces into position against the fences and step on the footpedal.

All design features of the model VN-A2are included in the models VN-FA and VN-FA3 with the exception of the "power handle".



 
 

The model VN-FA, is capable of inserting from one to four VEE-NAIL™ brand fasteners in two positions. The model VN-FA3 is capable of inserting from one to four VEE-NAIL™ brand fasteners in two positions. The model VN-FA3 is capable of inserting from one to six VEE-NAIL™ brand fasteners in three positions. VEE-NAIL™ brand fasteners can be inserted at any point along the miter joint and can be stacked at each of the selected nail positions. A Maximum of two fasteners can be inserted at each fastener position.

 
 

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. Fully adjustable nail position stops with calibrated scales are provided. Two stops are provided on the model VN-FA and three stops are provided on the model VN-FA3. Rotary knobs are provided to select the number of nails from zero to two at each nail position.
 

 
 
The optional pressure feed glue dispenser makes glue application a breeze. Apply glue while the part is in the operators hand. Only apply glue to one side of the miter joint. Easy to control glue quantity and distribution, compared to the mess of bottles and brushes.
 
 

OPTIONAL MANUAL OVERIDE CIRCUIT

There are occasions where a machine is needed for both low production "custom" framing and high production framing for ready made frames. The manual overide circuit option is offered to fill this need. The manual overide circuit option is only available for the models VN-FA and VN- FA3.

The optional circuit allows the machine to be used in the "manual" mode with the "power handle" or in the fully automatic mode as described on these pages. The machine is equipped with a rotary switch which allows selection of manual or automatic operation. The "power handle" is to be used only when in the manual mode. This low cost option can allow much greater utility and versatility for the single machine purchaser.
 

 
 


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.
