The KVAL 700-DC Frame Assembly
Machine has pop-up door supports
that will accommodate any door sill
that does not extend past the
interior side of the door frame. The
machine is equipped with an
electronic PLC programmable logic
controller so all operations are
performed by pressing the same foot
pedal.
First a door, with hinge jamb and
sweep attached, is rolled into
position on hold-up wheels. The foot
pedal is pressed once to close the
hinge side and hold it in position.
The pedal is pressed a second time
to clamp and hold in place the head,
strike jamb and sill.
After the frame is clamped, the
operator pushes a single button to
simultaneously secure all four of
the corners. Another button unclamps
the door and releases it so it can
be rolled to the next station.
For sills that are attached with
screws, the 700-DC can be purchased
with just two staple guns for the
header. The sill end then functions
as a clamp to compress the sweep and
ensure tight alignment.
A hand-held air screwdriver is used
to fasten the sill as the head is
attached with staples. The price
does not include staple guns or air
screwdrivers.
