Arbor change systems

The HSK quick-change system is the number one choice for power users who often change the arbor of the complete arbor/tool units. The system works fully tool-free and is compatible with the CNC processing centres of leading manufacturers. So you can use suitable CNC machining centre tools directly on the spindle moulder without any problem, thereby relieving this expensive machine from capacity-consuming traversing moulding tasks.

Fence jaws

The fence opening should always be closed in the firmly way so that the workpiece can be properly guided as it moves along the fence. This can be achieved with the tried and tested integral fence. The bars of the jaws, which are made of hard-coated aluminium, can be easily folded into position and released again, and the height position can also be varied. The bar cassettes can be easily removed to allow working with a pre-set board.

Your material:

our strength.

Solid wood

What connects us with our customers: the passion for the precious material wood.

Anyone who works with wood must love it. The variety and the warmth it gives create enthusiasm for the most pristine of all materials. The wide range of possible applications offers room for creativity to unfold. Our machines are built for these passionate thinking and working people.

Plastics

When plastic is your business!

The almost unlimited technical properties make plastics a fascinating material for a wide range of applications in trade and industry. MARTIN planers are the tools of choice when it comes to manufacturing these products. With our decades of experience in the machining of plastics, we always offer the perfect solution, even for very special machining operations.

Light metal

Accurate results even with light metals.

Planing light metals and alloys with a weight content of less than 80 % magnesium is a demanding task for any sliding table saw. It is no coincidence that well-known aluminium processors rely on MARTIN. The robust construction, the powerful motors and the extensive accessories make the MARTIN planers the ideal tool for all those who value precise cutting.

More Highlights

Fence jaw clamping system AutoLock

Fence jaws need to be moved on a regular basis in order to optimise the fence opening to suit the tool. But all too often, clamping is forgotten about afterwards and the jaws are damaged. The optional AutoLock fence jaw clamping system ensures secure clamping of standard and integral fence jaws in a simple and safe manner. The jaws are always clamped securely by spring force and the clamping is only released for setting with the easily accessible levers. Completely without any electrics or pneumatics.

Fence plates

SK40 cutter arbor clamping system

The DornFix standard quick-change system is the perfect solution for everyone wishing to adjust the arbor diameter time and again.

Variomatic 4N feed unit on comfort feed support

The winning feature of the comfort feed support is that it can be easily folded to the side and positioned with the MemoLock system. This means that, after folding it away, for example for a tool exchange, the feed latches back again exactly in the starting position. The height settings are very precise thanks to the digital height indicator, and height adjustment is quick and easy for the operator to carry out. Large locking levers ensure that the feed support can be clamped quickly and easily.

Testimonials

Precision is what MARTIN means to me

„My primary product is custom cabinetry for residential projects. Having a versatile saw that can cut a perfect miter on a 10’ panel then in seconds be used for ripping solid wood allows unlimited creativity. Offering a complete product line from cabinetry to solid wood countertops to large windows and doors the MARTIN machinery lets me offer our clients what they want. With the T54 Jointer I can comfortably mill up stock for 10’ doors, knowing that it will be flat. Precision is what MARTIN means to me.“

Almost 80 MARTIN Machines

“As one of the largest manufacturers of solid wooden doors in the USA, we need jointing and planing machines, which guarantee the highest precision and the cleanest planing results – and all of this in various types of wood. We have been making a perfect job of this, not only in terms of quality and reliability, for years with almost 80 MARTIN machines.”

The most solid I have ever seen

„I got into the world of MARTIN Group machines with my T74 slider. After I had so much good experience with this solid and very accurate sliding table saw I bought my MARTIN T45 thickness planer with the “Shelix” spiral cutter head. It does a fantastic job and I and my workers enjoy working with a simple to operate machine. The last MARTIN machine I got is the MARTIN T54 jointer. This jointer make perfect straight boards and the 90° fence is the most solid I have ever seen. I also purchased the BARTH VakuuCar+ available from MARTIN. This mobile workbench has a swinging frame which allows me to work by myself when moving large panels.“

The fifth machine purchased from MARTIN

„This is the fifth machine purchased from MARTIN. This machine is so silent and accurate it is remarkable. Impossible to measure any deviation from the dimension given. No snipe, no grain tear out. This machine has rapidly changed our S4S process. The perfect pairing with our MARTIN T54 joiner.“

Convinced of its quality for years

„We decided on a T75PreX sliding table saw from MARTIN because we have been convinced of its quality for years. We already have a MARTIN shaper, thickness planer and sliding table saw in our workshop. The T75 PreX with vacuum table and dual tilt has made our decision to replace our old saw easy. The new saw increases our possibilities, makes work easier for us and helps us to save time.“

The results are excellent

“We love the MARTIN slider! It has changed the way and speed of our work. I never would have thought i could joint wide, thick hardwood on a table-saw better than my jointer but the MARTIN slider does! Breaking down sheet goods is about 2-3x faster now than our old method, and the results are excellent.”

Greatly simplified our working processes

„We are using the BARTH MULTI Press now. We were on the lookout for such a device for a long time and are now very happy that we have this press. This has greatly simplified our working processes. A single worker can glue carcasses, drawers, table boards and a lot more. Otherwise two workers are always needed when working with traditional clamps. Everything which we produce in our workshop is glued in this press.“

Never seen such well packed machinery

„It is a beautiful day in middle on February 2015 in CA and today my BARTH VMP3513 membrane press did arrive. When I saw the semi pull up and the size of the box I was shocked. I purchased some 60” forklift extensions which made the unload very easy. If I did not have the extensions I would not have been able to unload it. The driver was very nice and helped get it down the driveway – I had him use the pallet jack on the end while I used the forklift to steer it to the front of the garage. I then took the press off the crate and moved it to the shop using the forklift and a pallet jack. The crate was built like a tank and was quite hard to take apart. I guess that they justify the price of the crate based upon the number of nails. I had a friend come over tonight to help get it into the shop, I did the main job of getting it out of the crate this morning. I have never seen such well packed machinery than what has come from Barth.“

Approximately 35% quicker

„Working for years with a traditional American-style vacuum bag and pump, we already knew what a vacuum system like this could do for us. With the BARTH VMP4013 we quickly learned there were even more differences compared to our old system. Because of the oil lubricated pump, now we accomplish our jobs approximately 35% quicker and have more pressure. The pressure is approximately 2000 lbs. per square foot. When the press is not in use, the convenient cover protects the rubber membrane and it can be used as a temporary work bench. Casters allow us to move the machine to the work instead of the other way around. All in all, this press has improved our production in many different ways.“

Fast, simple and economic solution

„I have only a limited space available for a case clamp, veneer press and a panel press. The Barth RPG-l/VMP3513 offer one side the Barth VMP3513 veneer/vacuum membrane press and on the other side that BARTH RPG-L multi press. The VMP offers the solution a 100% veneer press that also can be used for forming with an extremely shot pressure time of 5-7 minutes at regular veneering without heating! The RPG-L gives me the possibility to glue cases, frames and sold wood boards with a very quick setup and a 100% perfect gluing results. For me the Barth RPG-l/VMP3513 is the prefect press for each workshop that has to work each day on a different project still needs a fast, simple and economic solution.“

Positive result of a higher productivity

The BARTH VacuucarXL helps our worker with up to three vacuum suction cups to hold the workpiece in place so that our workers have booth hands free for doing their job. The possibility to set up the height of the work plate to the needed height helps our workers to reduce their health problems what has the positive result for us of a higher productivity.

Save a lot of set up time

„The BARTH VP vacuum membrane press replaces in our workshop the traditional vacuum back. With the press we save a lot of set up time before the real gluing/pressing process and in case in case of the natural rubber membrane we do not need to use double boards at regular veneer jobs. With the right glue (regular water based glue) we save here at so much time that the press will be paid back by itself soon. The Barth special membrane is a big difference to each other product that is available on the marked and makes a big difference.“

Energy costs are reduced by 99%

„We use BARTH vacuum membrane presses to veneer and glue molded parts. The BARTH presses have convinced us because due to their proven technology the pressing time is very short and as no heating is necessary, the energy costs are reduced by 99% compared to heated-plate presses. The pressing time for veneer is only 6-8 minutes when standard water-based glue is used.“

Paying for itself

„The machine is a huge time saver. We are averaging about 10 hours per job faster with this machine, so the GANNOMAT ProTec is really paying for itself.“

A demonstration convinced us

We are producing high-quality furniture and interior fittings and wanted to minimize our production time without compromising quality. A demonstration convinced us of the GANNOMAT ProTec machining center. The ProTec won us over by its powerful technology and high level of precision of the manufactured parts.
