Listing Note: need up dated size and weight for shipping. New pics and video. Pricing,etc.
With the patented Screw-In-Pocket (SIP) technology, CSI-1.5D cuts Castle’s distinctive, 6 degree low-angle screw pocket, drills a low-angle pilot hole and inserts a flush screw - all in 1.5 seconds.
Castle’s CSI-1.5D Pocket Cutter/Screw Inserter Machine cuts pockets and inserts screws in one step: pockets with screws, delivered! In customer time tests, CSI’s patented technology reduces assembly time by up to 40%. The CSI-1.5D produces stackable parts in faster production times, reduces waste, and eliminates non-value-added labor in high-capacity production joinery.
Use the CSI-1.5D with composites, panel and hard or soft wood.
This CSI-1.5d package also comes with the new SideShift auto positioner. Now, in one short cycle, the CSI will automatically positions the stock and creates two pockets with screws. The operator places the material on the CSI for the automatic SideShift fences to move and hold the stock in the correct position. The first pocket is cut, first pilot hole drilled, and then the first screw is inserted. SideShift then positions the material for the second pocket, pilot hole and screw insertion. The SideShift’s complete “double process” is completed in a cycle time of 4 seconds. Because the SideShift automatically places material in the correct position eliminating operator error.
The SideShift automatically adjusts for stock widths of 1 1/4” to 3”. The SideShift automatically places the pockets a set distance from both edges of the stock”. The SideShift attachment can quickly be removed from the machine for secondary pocketing procedures like wider stock and panels. The SideShift comes with everything needed for installation. Please contact sales to verify that your model of CSI can accept the SideShift attachment.
The Sideshift not only increases throughput but reduces human error and mechanical malfunctions. It’s ideal for face frame production. The CSI 1.5D with SideShift: one cycle for two correctly cut and positioned pockets with screws.
For best results with the CSI, modified pan head screws are recommended.
