Abstract
Drilling of wood is besides milling, sawing and grinding one of the most important production processes in industrial furniture manufacturing. For the body assembly and the fixing of fittings, boreholes are essential. They have immediate effect on quality and production costs. The process step drilling limits the output of stationary and throughfeed machines, because the workpieces have to be stopped to create the drillings at a relatively low feed speed. An essentially increased performance cannot be reached by the improvement of conventional drilling devices. The aim of the work presented in this paper is the development of an alternative production process in which blind holes can be punched. Thereby thin-walled, cylinder-shaped tools are pressed into different solid and derived timber workpieces by a simple translative movement. For it special experimental setups have been designed. The new production process opens possibilities for an optimization and acceleration of process cycles in industrial wood machining.
