Leg nailing machine Ekatech LM3017

Advantages of LM3017

• Efficiency – High production speed and short cycle times
• Convenience – Quick recipe changes
• Flexibility – Great flexibility in leg length and number of blocks
• Maintenance – Low maintenance requirements and easy servicing

Standalone production machine for pallet legs

Ekatech's leg machine is a standalone production machine for pallet legs. It is easy to adjust the length, number of blocks, and block position through the control panel.

The leg machine eliminates the demanding manual work with nail guns and the need for repetitive and tedious tasks. The machine operates at a continuous and high production rate.

All leg configurations, settings, and parameters are set via the control panel with a touchscreen. New recipes can be easily saved, allowing for very quick changeovers between different leg lengths and types.

‍Ekatech's LM3017 is an efficient and convenient solution for leg production.

Flexible & Simple

The LM3017 is an easy-to-use system with unlimited space for leg recipes.

Fast & Efficient

By nailing up to three nails at once, the LM3017 offers a high production speed. It also allows for quick order changes and has minimal setup times.

Cost-effective & Safe

The LM3017 is fairly priced with low maintenance costs and equipped with the highest safety standards.

How does it work?

Block material is provided by either the LM3017-DS or LM3017-BC. The leg board is fed and placed on top of a block, which is then nailed with the desired number of nails by one, two, or all three nailers. After nailing the first block, the board is transported to the next block position, where a new block is placed under the board and nailed. This process continues until all blocks are nailed. Once the leg is finished, it is fed out onto the holder. The leg machine continuously produces legs until the holder is full, the order is completed, materials or nails run out, or the machine is stopped.

Block destacker
• Block stack dimensions on EUR pallet – Max 900x1200mm
• Block stack height – Up to 1800mm
• Production rate – 50-60 blocks/min
• Area – Approx. 1.5 x 2.5m (excluding LM3017)

How does it work?
‍The destacker places complete rows of pallet blocks directly from an EUR pallet into the base machine LM3017.
The block stack is placed directly into the portal stacker, which takes a row of blocks and places them onto the conveyor, which automatically transports them to the leg machine.
Stack dimensions, number of blocks, number of rows, and even spacer paper levels are programmed in the LM3017 control panel.
When the stacker reaches a spacer paper, a notification is given in the operator panel so that the operator can quickly remove it.

Block cutter
The block cutter is a compliment to the base machine LM3017. The block cutter cuts blocks individually, tailored for specific production requirements controlled by the leg machine.

Specification
• Block material length – Up to 5800mm
• Block dimensions – Up to 120x120mm
• Production rate – 50-60 blocks/min
• Area – Approx. 7 x 2.5m (excluding LM3017)

How does it work?
Block materials are placed on the feeder in the machine. The materials are fed by 5 chain conveyors to a pusher, which transports them to the automatic cutting saw.The pusher measures the total length of the block material and calculates the optimal block length, cuts the blocks, and automatically feeds them to the base machine LM3017.To avoid waste, a length tolerance is set in the control panel. When the material is measured, the optimal block length is calculated considering the total material length to minimize or eliminate waste.
