This Ganner Index 180 PRO is a used wood drilling machine — also referred to as a boring machine — built for precision drilling, gluing, and dowel insertion in timber and panel-based components. Ganner, trading under the Gannomat brand, specialises in dowel insertion and drilling systems for the woodworking and furniture manufacturing industries. This example dates from 2018 and is located in Delaware, Germany.
The machine operates on a 400 V, three-phase, 50 Hz supply and is CNC-controlled throughout. The base configuration includes a single-spindle horizontal drilling unit driven by a 1.1 kW motor, with tool speed selectable through the operator software at 3,000, 5,000, or 8,000 rpm. The X-axis is NC-controlled with a working length of 1,800 mm (extended from the base 1,300 mm as an installed option) and a maximum travel speed of 78 m/min. The Z-axis position is programmable between 5 and 40 mm via the NC-controlled Z-axis option, and an NC-controlled Y-axis allows the dowel driving overhang to be set between 7 and 30 mm and the drill hole depth between 0 and 42 mm through software, using drills with a gauge length of 77 mm. An extended Y-axis option further expands the programmable position range to 5–62 mm.
The gluing and dowel insertion station is built in a reinforced design and handles 8 mm diameter dowels with a length of 30 mm. The closed glue system operates at 6 bar pressure through a glue nozzle and is compatible with adhesives in the viscosity range of 150 to 350 mPas. Glue quantity is continuously adjustable via the operator software. The system includes a GL/WATER selector switch for rinsing, one stainless steel container for 5 kg of glue, and one for 5 litres of water, as well as a control lamp for residual glue quantity monitoring. An electronic, optical glue monitoring system — the G.I.C. (Glue Insert Control) — is fitted as an installed option for one glue nozzle.
Workpiece clamping is handled by a total of eight pneumatic inclined clamping cylinders (the standard four plus four additional vertical inclined cylinders fitted as an option), all angled at 10°, accommodating workpiece thicknesses up to 80 mm and a minimum workpiece length of 70 mm. Stop equipment includes one left side stop, one right side stop, and one centre stop, all removable. Four start buttons allow individual working with one to four workpieces simultaneously. Dust extraction is accommodated via a suction funnel with an 80 mm connection diameter.
In addition to the horizontal drilling unit, two multi-spindle drilling heads are fitted as options. The first is a horizontal unit with a 1.5 kW motor carrying three individually controllable spindles on a 32 mm pitch arranged along the X-axis, running at 3,000 rpm. The second is a vertical unit also driven by a 1.5 kW motor, with three individually accessible spindles at a 32 mm pitch arranged in the X-axis and also running at 3,000 rpm, drilling from the top with a Y-axis position range of 5 to 42 mm and a minimum workpiece length of 130 mm. Neither unit reduces the working length of the machine.
The TCT control system is built around an industrial PC running a Beckhoff TwinCAT soft PLC under Windows 7. The display is a 15-inch TFT resistive touchscreen with a resolution of 1,024 × 768 pixels. Processing hardware includes a 2 GHz CPU and 256 MB of RAM, with storage on an IDE hard disk. Connectivity is provided by two network interface adapters, four rear USB ports, and one front USB port. The operating temperature range is 0–50 °C. Programming is carried out through menu-driven software supporting absolute, relative, and grid dimensioning; the system also provides automatic workpiece mirroring, work step optimisation, parametric programming, zero-point shift, programmable work lists, graphic workpiece display, and plain-text error diagnosis. Up to four work fields can be assigned different programs. The machine is also equipped with a fully
