The Commander-DI will accommodate either
flush or raised molding doors with
protrusions up to 7/8" high on one or
both sides. These raised moldings must
be a minimum of 4-1/4" from the lock and
hinge sides of the door.
The Commander-DI will also machine jambs
that vary in thickness from 11/16" to
1-1/16" in thickness, at the same time
as the door, or it can be used to
machine jambs only. The jamb support
brackets set-ups are Non-CNC controlled,
and must be moved by the operator. These
set ups however, can be done quickly and
easily by the machine operator. Jamb
width can vary from 3-1/2" to 7-1/4"
when the jambs are attached to the door
with hinges. Wider jambs can be machined
along with the door and attached after
the door has been fed out of the
Commander-DI. Hinge sizes, 3-1/2" x
3-1/2", and 4" x 4", can be attached
while the door and jamb are clamped in
the machine.
The door and jamb may also be machined
for 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" hinges; however, the
hinges can be attached only to the door
or jamb while they are clamped in the
machine. NOTE: If pilot hole drilling
for the hinge screws is required for
this machining set up, specify drill
gearbox option A-3. If machining for
4-1/2" x 4-1/2" and attaching the hinge
to the door and jamb while clamped in
the machine is required, option HA is
required to revise the jamb supports
allow for the increased space between
the door and jamb.
The Commander-DI is also equipped with a
computer controlled pre-drill system,
which uses manually installed drill
gearboxes complete with air motors and
chucks, to drill pilot holes for the
hinge screws. Each drill gearbox is also
equipped with locating brackets and
mounting base to allow for quick change
from one drilling pattern to another.
The pilot hole drill gearboxes are sold
separately, and are made to match the
screw hole pattern for each type of
hinge. Pilot hole drill gearboxes for
3-1/2" x 3-1/2", 4" x 4", 4-1/2" x
4-1/2" full or half hinges are listed in
the options.
