Why Space Balls?
Space Balls are used in the manufacture of solid wood panel doors. They easily install into the stiles and rails, with a friction fit, insuring that they will not fall out during assembly. Once in place standard door construction is continued. Space Balls keep the door panel centered. No more problems with unsightly reveal lines if the panel moves during the finishing process.Space Balls will compress and expand. They are made of a rubber material that has a memory, returning to it's original round shape. Space Balls will float and center door panels during seasonal humidity changes.
Space Balls also eliminate annoying panel rattle. Panel rattle occurs when the panel becomes smaller with drier humidity conditions. This shrinkage will allow the panel to shift and move in the frame making a rattling sound. When Space Balls are incorporated in the door frames, panels are cushioned and always floating, avoiding panel rattle. Space Balls will also solves the problem of cracking glue joints. During times of humidity changes, if a panel door is made too tightly or the door is pinned to secure the panel, wood movement will cause stress and cracking on the glue joints . Space Balls will expand and contract with wood movement protecting glue joints.The recommended amount of Space Balls per door is 8 to 10.Space Balls will cut out most major call-backs on solid raised and flat panel doors, which is where most companies lose money.
Using Space Balls will keep your money in production.
This system includes everything you need to set up an independent, ultra-efficient automatic space ball installation operation. With only one moving part, this system has been designed to provide extremely reliable space ball feeding so that you don't have to think about picking up space balls and setting them on your application ever again. The durable control box features a feeder rate adjustment dial, on/off switch, and power indicator. Inside is a PLC programmable controller set up precisely based on your application to operate at maximum speed and efficiency. The feeder mechanism is CNC cut and hardened to ensure accuracy and durability. The cast feeder bowl carries a lifetime warranty, and a Filter/Regulator/Lubricator assembly is also built in for easy maintenance. Call us at 1-800-353-4676 with your glide nail specs and application details to learn how this system can drastically reduce your assembly time.
EFFICIENT: The simplicity of the patented feed mechanism makes this machine less likely to experience mechanical failure. The twist-lock feed cover permits fast access to the feed mechanism allowing it to be disassembled and reassembled in seconds without the use of tools. This simple design, in conjunction with the twist-lock feed cover, exposes the space balls moving through the feed mechanism allowing quick visible detection and accessibility should a jam occur because of a foreign object or a defective space ball. The automatic timed shut off feature on the DTI 7000 base unit reduces wear on the feeder bowl and makes the unit more efficient. The machine automatically shuts off if unit is not cycled for 7-8 seconds and restarts when the operator inserts another space ball.
