A complete application for repairing panels

Microtec Goldeneye 600 series in combination with Fill’s repairing machine “Speedfiller” provides the best system for automatic grading and repairing panels of different wood species and different levels of finishing. Two Goldeneye 600 and two complete Speedfiller lines by Fill have been delivered to Roseburg Forest Products in Coquille, Oregon. It is the first solution of its kind in North America. 

 

Glue spots and roughness are filtered and the size and position of the defects is transferred to the two repair stations. Thanks to the very accurate positioning of the Fill Speedfiller system, each defect is routed or / and filled right where it needs to be repaired, also delivering significant savings on putty consumption. A highly dynamic control system enables the synchronization of the processing axis to the vacuum conveyor. The lightweight axes in the repair station allows very fast movement to the defects’ location. The conveying system holds the panels securely with suction cups and only releases the panel after the repair process. 

 

APA rules: the detecting and repairing solution has been developed to repair according to the APA rules in longitudinal feeding.

 

Roseburg Forest Products is a progressive forest products company with its headquarters in Dillard, Oregon, USA. The wood product range includes engineered wood, lumber, softwood plywood, composite and hardwood panels, decorative laminate, wood pellet fuel, and other value-added panel products.

»Our needs were perfectly understood by Fill and Microtec, so we have been very satisfied with the entire process of development of the project. We are pleased to have a great cooperation also for the future«
