The panel furniture production line is the main intelligent processing equipment used by large furniture processing plants. It includes a variety of machines, and different combinations of each machine can focus on processing different furniture series. Common series include cabinet production line, blister door production line, and high-gloss door production line. This article will also start from these three series to introduce you to the CNC machinery and equipment required for furniture making.
Cabinet Furniture Manufacturing
1.Cabinet Furniture Making Process
Regarding the production of panel furniture cabinets, it is mainly composed of five parts, each part is connected before and after, and finally the production of the entire cabinet is completed.
1）Design order splitting software: Order splitting software refers to the software used by the design department to design product drawings after the company receives the customer order. The software splits the drawings and splits the entire machine into various parts, clarifies the decomposition work required for the production of parts at all levels, and connects with the production equipment to finally complete the production of the entire product. It can meet the processing needs of different types of manufacturers of different sizes. Currently, the commonly used design order splitting software includes cracked version Yunxi, genuine Haixun, etc.
2）Cutting machine: Cutting machine is an important part of furniture production process. It includes cutting, grooving, punching and other processes. The cutting accuracy and quality are closely related to the quality of finished furniture. The most frequently used cutting machines in the production line of panel furniture cabinets are four-step cutting machines and inline tool change processing centers. These two types of equipment are fully functional, efficient and highly configured, ensuring the processing quality of the panels.
3）Edge banding: At present, large and medium-sized furniture manufacturers often use fully automatic edge banding machines for processing and production. The main functions include pre-milling, gluing, edging, head and tail alignment, rough trimming, fine trimming, contour tracking, scraping, polishing, grooving, etc. The machine is stable, reliable and durable.
4）Side hole punching: After the edge banding is completed, the side hole can be punched. At present, the common side hole machines include single and double spindle side hole machines, mortise and tenon side hole machines, saw blade side hole machines, laser side hole machines, etc. The machines run stably and punch holes efficiently.
5）Assembly: The cabinet assembly mainly uses the linking process. The common connectors are Lamino invisible connectors and three-in-one invisible connectors. Traditional custom furniture installation mostly uses three-in-one connectors. The three-in-one connector can be disassembled and assembled multiple times, does not require the use of adhesives, and is easy to install and maintain. Lamino invisible connectors have high requirements for cutting machines, the side hole process is more complicated, and the cost is correspondingly higher.
2.Cabinet Furniture Making Machines
In the previous part, we have briefly understood the process of the panel furniture cabinet production line. Here we will take a look at the equipment used in each process.
Cutting Machine
The cutting machine is the best furniture manufacturing machine for furniture manufacturers. The cutting machine can be used for cutting, drilling, punching, grooving, engraving, etc., with complete functions. There are many types of cutting machines, and different cutting machines are used for different processing. At present, the common cutting machines include four-process cutting machines, straight-row machining centers, Lamino cutting machines, disc tool change machining centers, double-process plus row drilling cutting machines, and Lamino plus row drilling cutting machines.
4-Processes Cutting Machine
The 4-processes cutting machine is an economical entry-level machine for panel furniture woodworking cutting machines. It has low procurement cost, complete functions, simple operation, and can be installed with four different tools. At the same time, the failure rate is low, and a single spindle failure will not delay processing and production. However, the processing efficiency of the 4-processes cutting machine is low, and the tools need to be replaced and set frequently, and the efficiency is far lower than that of the machining center with automatic tool change.
This 4-processes cutting machine of Blue Elephant is equipped with an automatic loading and unloading device, which makes up for the shortcomings of the traditional four-step cutting machine to a certain extent; it is also equipped with Taiwan SYNTEC controller to achieve fast file reading and fast machine operation.

It is equipped with a 12-tool magazine to realize automatic tool change; it has complete functions and can realize whole-board cutting and whole-board drilling.
How to Choose Between a 4-processes Cutting Machine and a Linear ATC CNC Machining Center?
As mentioned above, the 4-processes cutting machine is an economical machine with a low purchase cost. At the same time, compared with the machining center, its efficiency is also greatly reduced. Therefore, for the purchase of these two machines, you should choose according to your own processing needs.
If your processing needs are only to make cabinets and the production scale is not too large, then the 4-processes cutting machine is more suitable. At the same time, the price is more advantageous. If the processing needs are only to make cabinet doors, if you process simple patterns with less than four knives, 4-processes cutting machine and Linear Atc CNC Machining Center can be used. If the complex pattern exceeds four knives, it is recommended to choose a straight-row automatic tool change machining center. If the cabinet body and cabinet doors are all made, and the process is relatively simple, you can choose a four-step cutting machine. If the production process is more complicated, it is recommended to choose a straight-row machining center.
If the edge banding machine is used to make cabinets, it has basic functions such as gluing and pressing, front and back head alignment, rough trimming, fine trimming, scraping, and polishing. If it is used to make cabinet doors, it needs to add other functions such as profiling tracking, pre-milling, double glue pots, glue pots, and PUR glue pots. It can process materials such as density boards, ecological boards, multi-layer boards, particle boards, and aluminum honeycomb boards.
Edge Banding Machine
Compared with other common automatic edge banding machines, the following edge banding machine can also drill holes synchronously. In addition, it can also complete pre-milling, gluing, end face cutting, rough and fine trimming, tracking chamfering, scraping, edge banding and polishing. In addition, the use of high-quality CNC parts allows the E70JDSC side hole drilling edge banding machine to be used in harsh environments such as high and low temperatures, with the characteristics of stable production, low maintenance cost, and durability.
Side Hole Drilling Machine
Side hole machine is another process in furniture making. The board cut by the cutting machine is punched and slotted on the side of the board according to the processing requirements. The side hole machine can replace the traditional sliding table saw and drill. It adopts a gantry structure, a stable guide rail support surface, and a stable rack transmission to ensure that the machine does not deform during operation.
