Planning and machining in networked production

"From design and planning to the milling tool and CNC machining.

Lamello promotes the integration of the product data into the planning systems and the machining on the CNC machines. For this purpose, Lamello has established the partner network.

The goal is to make the installation of Lamello products as easy as possible for the customer."

Components for the successful integration of Lamello connection systems into your networked production

CAD/ERP/Konfigurator Software
- Design and planning software with integrated Lamello connectors
- Also download CAD data:
  - from the Lamello website
  - from iFurn
  - from specialist retailers (ComNorm)
CAM-Software
- Software for generating CNC programming data
- Post-processor
Data transfer between CAD and CNC, and in particular the control of the macros/ component, must be individually coordinated.
CNC-Software
- Purchase software for machine/macro/component from the manufacturer or
- Program the machining process yourself
The macro/component determines/affects the processing possibilities

CNC machine
- Machine with 3/4/5-axis
The number of axes and equipment options influence the processing possibilities
Suitable aggregate
- The angle aggregate makes it easier to cut the P-System groove in the surface and the centre of the surface
- The Cabineo unit enables triple drilling in one stroke
The right unit can significantly increase efficiency when cutting/drilling connectors.
Suitable Tool
- Purchase tools from Lamello or a P-System tool partner
The right cutting tool can significantly increase precision and efficiency when cutting the connectors.

«If a product is automated – or can be controlled digitally – it will also be used»

"Expertise in furniture manufacturing" - a slogan that is not simply an empty phrase at Jochen Meier Schreinerei GmbH, but practised with passion. Thanks to end-to-end digitalised production, this expertise covers the entire manufacturing chain.

Integration of the P-System into networked production

P-System introduction

The P‐System connectors Clamex P, Tenso P and Divario P can be easily integrated with digital planning and milled into the workpieces with CNC machining technology.

Whether nesting or console CNC machines with 3, 4 or 5 axes, our CNC partners offer optimal solutions for milling the P‐System profile groove.

Milling methods for the P‐System

Profile groove in the edge with a P‐System groove cutter

Profile groove in the middle of the surface with the P‐System CNC groove cutter and an angle aggregate

Profile groove in the middle of the surface with the P‐System CNC shaft tool and a 5‐axis movement

Lamello recommends making all profile grooves with a disc cutter, primarily for reasons of precision, durability, milling time and economic efficiency. A shaft tool or contour miller cutter should only be used for the milling of surfaces if no angle aggregate is available.

Lamello recommends making all profile grooves with a disc cutter, primarily for reasons of precision, durability, milling time and economic efficiency. A shaft tool or contour miller cutter should only be used for the milling of surfaces if no angle aggregate is available.

Ideas for standardising the machining on a CNC machine

Clamex P-14 CNC with lever, Clamex P-14 with lever and Clamex P-14/10 Flexus with lever are compatible with all Clamex P elements without lever. This allows for a standardised construction method

Cabineo Processing methods

Enormous time savings in assembly thanks to Cabineo

«Craftsmanship combined with tradition» is what carpentry company RAUM DESIGN KÖHLER GmbH relies on. It not only designs rooms and homes, but also offers a comprehensive range of services in the trades sector. The interior fitting of the «Good Life Vans» camper vans was a project close to the company's heart. The Cabineo cabinet connector from Lamello was used as a fitting and amazed the professional woodworkers with the reduced assembly time.
