CNCs

UB Klem’s 2023 Q4 has been an exciting time with not just one, but two, CNC additions to our line-up.  First, we had an Onsrud Extreme Series with twin 8′ x 6′ tables arrive.  The “E” series will become our work horse CNC giving us the ability to do large and thick parts.  Our second CNC is an Onsrud Roller Hold Down, with automated loading.  This allows UB Klem to enter the internal parts market and quickly become competitive and efficient at machining them out. 

The 2022 Greda Poker V5 CNC Lathe keeps exceeding our expectations.  We knew it was a must-have machine for our facility with the growth in demand for turnings we were getting, but it keeps surprising us on all we can put on it.  The Greda CNC version “5”, combines multiple machines (4 headed tilting drill, cutting saw, shaper head, 3 different sanding heads, and a gouging knife) into one unit, providing maximum efficiencies for turnings. Since it is a CNC, the lathe can keep the axis still, allowing it to work on square legs too, which is a nicely added benefit.

The 2020 Bacci Twin-Jet 5-Axis machine continues to open doors into new lines of products that would have previously been unattainable.  It has been a great addition to our CNC line-up. This is our first 5-Axis machine and helps us to be more efficient and competitive on current production parts. And now we can welcome difficult projects we would have previously declined.

  • Onsrud CNC Router 122RH18DA “Roller Hold Down Series” with Automated Loading and a 5’x10′ table
  • Onsrud CNC Router 148HD18CD “Extreme Duty Series” with twin 6’x8′ tables 
  • Greda Poker V5 CNC Lathe – Product Max size: 47″ length / 4-1/4″ Diameter (square) ; Min size: 4″ length / 1-1/4″ Dia (square)
  • Bacci Twin-Jet 5-Axis CNC with two 55″ wide tables and four clamps per table
  • Onsrud CNC Router 148HD18CD “Extreme Duty Series” with twin 5’x6′ tables
  • Onsrud CNC Router 122C16D with twin 5’x5′ tables 
  • Heian CNC Router with twin 5’x5′ tables

Sanders / Planers

Our new 2020 Heesemann 4 head 63″ Wide Belt Sander will allow us to efficiently sand/plane 9″ inches wider than our previous max of 54″.
 
  • Heesemann 4 Head 63″ Wide Belt Sander
  • Costa 52″ Planer Sander
  • 2 – Timesavers Sander 43″ wide
  • Heesemann 54″ wide Sander MFA 6 Impression

For high production sanding, our max size is:
63″ x 136″ – Anything up to 63″ wide, we can go as long as 136″

Other Major Equipment

In 2021, UB Klem realized we were cutting finger jointed strips inefficiently and needed to change the process.  We rethought our Weinig Dimter Optimization saw – instead of cutting out defects, why couldn’t we cut around the finger joints?  UB Klem worked with Weinig for two years creating new software to optimize finger joint cutting.  This software could not be uploaded to our old saw, which led us to buy a new Weinig S90 Opticut Cross-Cut Saw, that arrived in July 2023.  Now with the new software, the accuracy of the cut, and the quicker throughput we have improved our optimization cutting in three areas!

In February 2021 our new Weinig Powermat 700 moulder arrived.  With its 6 heads, HSK quick release, this moulder significantly reduces setup times, allowing us to be more competitive on price for our products and moldings.

Adding a second Holzma Panel Saw in 2016 gave us the flexibility to have one machine dedicated to high-production customers while using the other to complete shorter, quick-run projects.
