A115 Shaper Sander
The A115 Shaper Sander can accommodate four shaping/sanding stations. Clockwise and counter-clockwise rotations are used on specific shapers to eliminate rejects and produce the highest quality finished part. The A115 Shaper Sander can be configured with one to two shaping units to shape outside edges and raised panels. When equipped with two, the first shaper is reversible and rotates with the feed direction, and as the substrate passes, the station jumps in to make a short but full depth cut on its trailing edge to prevent wood grain tear-out.
The A115 Shaper Sander can be configured to accommodate a dual sanding station. The first sander spindle rotates with the direction of feed while the second sander spindle rotates against the direction of feed. The stations can be locked for straight sanding or allowed to follow a contour. Dual sanders, when combined with Turbosand rotary sanding system, provide a smooth, high-quality finish on all woods and MDF. These pneumatically actuated sanders can turn pre-cut arch panel stock into finished raised panels ready to be assembled to produce a door.
The A115 Shaper Sander transport system incorporates a bottom transport chain assembly and a roller hold-down assembly. The transport chain assembly is composed of a urethane top with double V-lug that travels over a precision-machined double V-track, guaranteeing precise linear transition of the part through the machine. The single-end tenoner is equipped with a dual purpose edge guide system, which accurately squares the part as it is fed to the shapers. It provides adjustment for straight and arch pre-cut boards.

Client Testimonial
Sonbyrd Industries currently uses the A115 Shaper Sander for our production needs by providing a variety of different profile cabinets doors. Sonbyrd, looked at quality alongside with labor in improving our manufacturing process and the Voorwood A115 Shaper Sander was our first choice. The jump-in head feature eliminated our blow-outs with all species of wood, which were an immediate savings from our older technology. Also, our Euro-cabinet doors with this new machine and its fencing technology along with wider feed belt, provide for a high-quality square door. Sonbyrd was able to move what use to take two employees down to one operator (Zachary Taylor in photo), with return conveyer which increased our production. Sonbyrd Industries has other Voorwood machines in our production line, and over the years their high quality built machines and service has always been 100% reliable.
