Pillar Machine | Boa-M – Case Clamp
The BOA-M is a manually operated Case Clamp designed to clamp cabinet boxes, drawer boxes and case goods that have been doweled together.
The dowel construction process is proven to produce more boxes per hour per employee than any other process. The case clamp is an integral part of this process. The Pillar Machine BOA-M98 is designed to meet medium to large production needs while maintaining the flexibility for a large variety of sizes. While parts are setting up in the clamp, additional hardware, drawer slides and doors can be installed.
The interwoven pressure beam design is faster than pod style clamping systems. Constant and even force is applied through both beams evenly to force the box into a square location while the glue on the dowels is cured.
Ultimately the case clamps speeds up production, eliminates the need to post laminate finished ends and ensures all your boxes are clamped square.
