Three operating modes:
MANUAL MODE
o The manual mode allows the operator to move the different parts of the machine by pushing the relative buttons.
AUTOMATIC
o This is the standard working cycle. The operator inserts the furniture inside the machine ,pushes two-handed buttons and waits until the cycle finished.
AUTOMATIC OVERLAPPING TOPS
o This is a special cycle and the machine needs some optional equipment to do this work.
REGULATION OF PRESSURE
· To regulate the vertical pressure, turn potentiometer VERTICAL FRAME at anytime.
· To regulate the horizontal pressure, turn potentiometer HORIZONTAL FRAME at anytime.
Description of working cycle (standard machine):
· After you insert the furniture inside the machine and press two white buttons at the same time, horizontal frame will descend and touch the cabinet before ascending and positioning itself 1-2 cm from the top of the cabinet.
· The vertical frame moves the cabinet and start to press the side of cabinet.
· After that the horizontal frame will press the cabinet from the top.
· The pressing starts with a low pressure and proceeds to the established time and force of pressing.
· In case of electricity failure during the pressing, there is no risk because the cabinet stays in position as the machine cannot move.
FEATURES:
· Heavy duty welded frame with CNC precision milling.
· 40mm diameter hardened guides that keep the pressing frames in true parallel.
· Lateral pressing bar gearbox with clutch for furniture protection
· NC Center lateral bar with encoder. Touch screen has 10 presets for fast selection of working height.
· Dual pressing frames (horizontal & vertical) square the box to the fixed reference of the machine.
· Closing force is accomplished by a gearbox and steel reinforced tooth belt with dual pressing frames (horizontal & vertical)
· Patented double pulley traveler system. This traveler system quadruples motor power and transfers it to the pressing frame to ensure square closing of boxes with multiple fixed shelves. Power is adjustable to both horizontal and vertical pressers. This system is superior to pneumatic cylinders as Bonacin allows precise pressure regulation. It is faster than screw systems.
· Automatic clamping of cabinets with overhanging tops
· Available in front load with pass thru capability

BONACIN NINA 2500 Case Clamp — Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the BONACIN NINA 2500 Case Clamp?
The BONACIN NINA 2500 is a precision case clamp designed for assembling cabinet boxes and rectangular case goods with consistent squareness and controlled clamping pressure.
2. Who manufactures the NINA 2500?
The machine is hand-built in Italy by Bonacin, a small, family-owned manufacturer known for craftsmanship, durability, and mechanical reliability.
3. What types of products is the NINA 2500 designed to assemble?
It is engineered for cabinet boxes, case goods, drawer carcasses, and rectangular furniture components requiring precise 90-degree assembly.
4. What does the “2500” refer to?
The 2500 designation refers to the maximum working length capacity of the machine, making it suitable for a wide range of cabinet box dimensions.
5. Why use a case clamp instead of manual clamps?
A case clamp ensures uniform pressure across all sides simultaneously, producing square assemblies faster and more consistently than manual bar clamps.
6. How does the NINA 2500 improve cabinet production?
It reduces assembly time, improves squareness accuracy, minimizes rework, and increases throughput in cabinet manufacturing environments.
7. Is the NINA 2500 suitable for residential cabinet shops?
Yes. It is ideal for residential cabinet manufacturers seeking improved efficiency and assembly precision.
8. Can it be used in commercial or architectural millwork operations?
Yes. Its precision and durability make it suitable for both residential and commercial casework production.
9. How does it ensure cabinet squareness?
The synchronized clamping system applies even pressure from multiple directions, ensuring consistent 90-degree alignment during glue curing.
10. Does it increase glue joint strength?
Yes. Uniform, controlled pressure across joints improves glue bond integrity compared to uneven manual clamping.
11. Is it designed for continuous production use?
Yes. The NINA 2500 is built for daily production environments and repeatable assembly cycles.
12. What materials can it assemble?
The clamp is suitable for plywood, MDF, particleboard, hardwood panels, and other common cabinet substrates.
13. How does it impact labor efficiency?
By clamping multiple joints simultaneously and reducing setup time, it lowers labor hours per cabinet box.
14. Does it reduce assembly errors?
Yes. Controlled alignment and pressure reduce the risk of out-of-square cabinets and misaligned joints.
15. Is the machine customizable?
Bonacin offers configurable options depending on shop requirements and production scale.
16. What makes Bonacin equipment unique?
Each machine is hand-built in Italy by a small family-owned company, emphasizing mechanical durability and long-term reliability over mass production.
17. Is it suitable for lean manufacturing environments?
Yes. The NINA 2500 reduces bottlenecks in cabinet assembly departments and supports consistent takt times.
18. How does it compare to entry-level case clamps?
The NINA 2500 is engineered for long-term industrial use, offering stronger construction and greater precision than light-duty alternatives.
