The 8 Feet Spindle Okoume Face Veneer Peeling Lathe for Gabon

Product Overview

Its CNC-controlled spindle ensures ±0.05 mm thickness accuracy for veneers ranging from 0.3–3 mm . The machine’s heavy-duty steel frame (25 mm thickness) and cross-roller design minimize vibration, enabling 95% wood utilization by reducing residual core diameter to ≤26 mm .

Product Advantage

High-Precision Cutting

The lathe’s servo-driven feed system and carbide-tipped blades produce smooth surfaces with ±2.5 mm width tolerance. For example, peeling 500 mm diameter Okoume logs yields veneers with Ra 1.6–3.2 μm surface roughness .

Power and Stability

Driven by 7.5 kW dual motors and 15 kW total power, the lathe handles hardwoods with 60–80 MPa tensile strength. Its solid steel base plate and double-row tapered roller bearings ensure stability during high-speed operation .

User-Friendly Interface

The touchscreen PLC control panel allows real-time monitoring of log diameter, peeling speed, and blade wear. Operators can switch between 2 pre-set thicknesses without manual adjustments, reducing downtime by 40% .

Applications

• Gabon Timber Industry: Specialized in peeling Okoume logs for marine plywood and export-grade veneers.

• High-End Furniture: Produces thin, defect-free veneers for luxury cabinetry and decorative panels.

• Construction Materials: Supports the production of lightweight yet durable Okoume-based plywood for roofing and flooring .
