RG 119-14 Positioner (10ft.) for existing MORSO machine

Product Description

Overview
This System is designed for operations that already have an accurate and reliable cut-off saw and either a manual or electro-hydraulic MORSO notching machine in their shop. It is designed to upgrade the MORSO for automatic positioning of face frame moulding.
RazorGage Positioning System designed for MORSO face frame notching machines

Adding a RazorGage Positioning System to an existing MORSO face frame notching machine is a quick way to improve accuracy and speed of any beaded face frame production.

Details
This automatic positioning system, installed on an existing MORSO notching machine, is designed for fast and accurate production of beaded cabinet face-frames. The precision stop system, manufactured by RazorGage to Hoffmann specifications, features a comprehensive software package that allows the operator to design face-frames individually right on the large color touchscreen or one can download complete files
from cabinet design programs capable of outputting .RZG files.
Both pieces of equipment are connected with special hardware and custom brackets to create an integrated, sturdy and reliable machining cell.

Software Features
The included software package allows the operator to design a face-frame “from scratch” on the touch screen or to download completed files via USB connections.

Different widths of stiles and rails are shown on screen for visual verification and it is no longer necessary to match moulding sizes with nose knives (recommended when using a manual stop system).

When a new nose knife is installed, its width is entered on screen and the program automatically calculates the correct notch positions as well as the number of steps if a notch is wider than the installed nose knife. Beaded face frames for custom cabinets, often with different size stiles and rails to match your clients design can now be manufactured quickly and effortlessly.

 
Operation
With all parts pre-cut on existing equipment, the operator uses the touchscreen for cope cuts and notches along the moulding edges.
After completing a notch, the operator presses a button and the system advances the material as needed for notches wider than the nose knife width. This allows for quick production of custom face-frames with stiles and rails in varying widths (wider top and button rails, wider cross member for refrigerator openings, smaller cross-members between drawers, etc.)  
Accuracy is 4/1000’ (0.1mm), assuring tight, clean joints in stain and paint grade frames.

To best match the system with our customer’s production requirements we offer a variety of system lengths – see RG 95-14, RG119-14, RG143-14 and RG167-14 models below.

MORSO knife sharpening services
Whichever MORSO notching machine you choose, be sure to always return side knives and nose knives to Hoffmann, Inc. for sharpening. These knives require a special hollow grind geometry as well as hand-honing to achieve a razor sharp edge. Most commercial tool sharpening services do not have the correct equipment for these knives and once flat-ground, they are pretty much ruined.
We use a custom grinding machine made by MORSO to get your knives back to factory-new condition.
