Window building machines – the basis for a good view outside
The window building and construction machines belong to the field of production technology. However, machine tools known from other areas are also required for the preparatory work on window construction. The best-known machine for this is the miter saw. Hardly any window profile is not processed with a miter saw.
In addition to the "separating material" manufacturing process, there is also the "joining material" manufacturing process (gluing, welding) for window building machines. The possible combinations and the definitions of the window construction machines refer to the size, the complexity and the material from which the window frames are made.
Window production machines - Components to be machined
A window consists primarily of the components frame, sash, pane, clamping strips, seals and fittings. The best-known materials for windows are wood, plastic and aluminium. In rarer cases there are also combinations such as wood-aluminium windows. The name of the window machines, i.e. wooden window machines, aluminum window machines and plastic window machines, is derived from the material of the frames and sashes.
These names are also the basis of our category classification on tramao.de in the field of woodworking machines. Of course, there are also intersections in window construction with the fields of metal processing machines and construction machines. The allocation to the area of woodworking machines has grown historically. After all, it used to be the carpenters who made window frames, sashes and even the well-known shutters out of wood.
Today, a separate division of companies has developed for window construction. These companies manufacture windows and doors, but otherwise have nothing to do with classic carpentry. Window construction also includes integrated roller shutter systems with or without a motor drive. This diversity also places high demands on the window production machines.
The process of window construction
The profiles for window frames, window sashes, clamping strips and seals are produced by the meter in plastic and aluminum in continuous casting. The profiles are configured to the correct lengths in machine tools, which in this case are used as window construction machines. In addition to the length, the miter cut is then at the right angle. This angle must be freely adjustable in the machine during window construction, because in addition to the most commonly used 45° miter cut, there are also angles outside of 90° (pointed windows).
Profiles for wooden windows must be milled out of rectangular wooden beams before longitudinal and miter cuts can take place.
The cut profiles are then fed to the actual window construction machine. On a frame, the profiles for the frame and sash find the right arrangement in relation to one another, so that they can then be connected to one another. Wooden window elements are mortised and glued together, plastic and aluminum elements can be welded together. Then the fittings for the tilting and opening function are inserted and screwed.
Furthermore, the panes are inserted into the sashes in the window construction machine and fastened with clamping strips. For insulation reasons, seals must be inserted towards the frame. The seal can also be part of the clamping ledges.
In the end, the window frame and sash should match. When using roller shutters, the frame also contains the guide for the roller shutter.
The degree of automation in window and door construction is relatively low. The variety and the individual adaptation to the actual dimensions of the shell construction make fully automatic production difficult. The proportion of manual work is still relatively high.
