Gannomat drilling & dowel insertion machines – Asamer authorized dealer for CZ, SK & HU. Selekta and Index as flagship models for furniture industry.
Gannomat drill-glue-dowel insertion machines are the heart of every industrial carcass production. They combine the three critical process steps — drilling dowel holes, applying glue and inserting dowels — in a single machine and in a single setup. The result: shorter cycle times, higher process reliability and reproducible quality. The Gannomat range spans from the Elite as semi-automatic entry model through the Selekta as industry standard to the Spectrum and Index Reihe CNC for highly variable batch-size-1 production. For furniture manufacturers in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, Gannomat is the proven Austrian supplier that Asamer represents exclusively. Austrian origin guarantees high machine quality; local support by Asamer ensures fast response times for service and spare parts.
Semi-automatic vs. fully automatic
Semi-automatic machines (Elite, Express) need an operator for workpiece positioning and are economical for medium throughput. Fully automatic machines (Selekta, Spectrum, Index Reihe CNC) work with automatic workpiece feeding and CNC program control — ideal for high throughput or complex variant production.
Fitting insertion in addition to dowels
The Index Reihe CNC and Spectrum set fittings (cam fittings, bolts, sleeves) in addition to dowels — indispensable for RTA furniture production. The Selekta focuses on pure drilling, gluing and doweling; fitting insertion is done on separate machines.
FAQ
Which machine fits which operation?
Joinery up to 20 employees: Elite. Mid-sized 20–80 employees: Selekta. Industrial: Spectrum or Index Reihe CNC. Asamer advises based on concrete production data.
Are there financing options?
Yes — Asamer cooperates with leasing banks for hire purchase and leasing. Please request terms directly.
What is the typical delivery time?
Stock machines 2–4 weeks, special versions 8–16 weeks. Asamer keeps common models in stock.
Gannomat dowel insertion machines for doors and windows (Selekta HD, Injecta HD, Index DW Reihe CNC) are tailored to the specific requirements of door and window production. Door and window profiles, unlike carcass sides, have different drilling patterns, material densities and tolerance requirements — the HD variants are optimised for this. The machines process wood, aluminium and plastic frames with high precision and can be integrated into production lines with frame presses and glazing stations. Asamer supplies the Gannomat HD series to door manufacturers and window factories in CZ, SK and HU including matching to your frame types.
Wood, aluminium, plastic
The HD models process all common frame materials. Tools are selected by material, drilling parameters stored in the CNC control.
FAQ
Do HD machines fit Austrian and German frame standards?
Yes — the HD series is designed for European standards (Eurogroove, Eurotrack).
Can the Selekta HD be integrated into a production line?
Yes — with infeed, outfeed conveyor and buffer. Asamer plans the line.
How high is the maintenance effort?
Maintenance interval 6 months, annual main inspection. Maintenance contract recommended.
Gannomat CNC machining centres — foremost the ProTec Profit — combine milling, drilling and dowel insertion in one machine with a single setup. This is key to complex furniture parts like fronts with cutouts and fitting drillings or carcass parts with milled profiles. Instead of moving the workpiece between multiple machines — each with its own repositioning errors — the finished part is created in one pass. For furniture manufacturers with a mix of drilling and milling, Gannomat machining centres are often the best solution. Asamer supplies them for CZ, SK and HU including programming, postprocessor customisation and ERP integration.
CNC machining centre vs. individual machines
Individual machines are often faster at very high quantities with few variants; CNC machining centres win on complex workpieces and batch-size-1. The decision depends on your product mix.
FAQ
How is programming handled?
Via graphical CAD software with standard import formats (DXF, DWG, STEP). Asamer trains your team.
Tool management?
Automatic tool changer with up to 30 slots, automatic tool measurement.
Dust extraction integrated?
Yes — connection to existing extraction system standard.
Gannomat dowel insertion machines (Express series S1 to S5, Basica, Variabel, Red Baron, Vector CNC) cover the wide spectrum of carcass dowel processing. From compact entry machine Basica to CNC-controlled Vector, suitable solutions are available for every operation size. The Express S1–S5 differ in spindle count: more spindles mean more dowels per stroke and shorter cycle times. Vector CNC and Express CNC offer free programmability for variable drilling patterns. RTA (Ready-to-Assemble) variants additionally insert fittings besides dowels. Asamer advises on model selection based on your quantities and product variants for CZ, SK and HU.
Which spindle count is right?
Rough orientation: S1 up to 50 workpieces/day, S2 up to 150, S3 up to 300, S4 up to 500, S5 over 500. More spindles mean better performance with consistent workpieces; with high variant diversity, fewer spindles are often sufficient.
RTA vs. standard dowel insertion machine
RTA variants insert fittings in addition to dowels. Indispensable for manufacturers of furniture kits or RTA furniture. For workbench-assembled furniture, standard doweling is sufficient.
FAQ
Which dowel sizes?
6, 8 and 10 mm standard. Special sizes possible.
Pneumatic requirements?
Standard workshop compressed air (6–8 bar) is sufficient.
How fast is model changeover?
For S models mechanically 30–60 min, for CNC models program selection in seconds.
Gannomat carcass presses (Concept Easy, Eco, Primus, Korpus-Montagelinie, Lift, Lift Jumper) ensure dimensionally stable gluing of carcasses after dowel insertion. The glue needs pressure during curing — only this creates an angular, load-bearing furniture carcass. The Concept series covers all operation sizes: Concept Easy for joinery shops, Concept Eco for medium production, Concept Primus for industry, Korpus-Montagelinie as complete solution. Lift and Lift Jumper are lifting technology for handling large carcasses. Asamer supplies Gannomat carcass presses for CZ, SK and HU including consultation on line integration.
Concept Easy / Eco / Primus — selection guide
Concept Easy: joinery, entry, manual loading. Concept Eco: medium production, semi-automatic. Concept Primus: industry, fully automatic. Korpus-Montagelinie: continuous production line with Selekta.
FAQ
What carcass sizes?
Typically 300 × 300 × 300 to 1,200 × 800 × 600 mm. Oversized formats on request.
Pressing time?
30–120 seconds depending on glue and carcass size.
Line integration?
Yes — with Selekta, conveyor and unpacker as complete line.
Gannomat dowel drilling machines (DB 21-27-35 and DB 21-27-35 WA) are classic multi-spindle drilling machines for carcass sides, back panels and furniture parts with standard hole patterns. The digits 21-27-35 stand for three model variants with corresponding spindle counts. The WA variant features automatic workpiece feeding for higher throughput. For joinery shops and mid-sized furniture manufacturers, these machines have been industry standard for decades — high reliability, simple operation, good serviceability. Asamer supplies the DB series for CZ, SK and HU including setup to your hole spacings.
Dowel drilling machine vs. CNC machine
Dowel drilling machines are optimised for standard hole patterns — faster and cheaper than CNC machines. For high variant counts or unusual drilling patterns, CNC is the better choice.
FAQ
What does WA mean?
Workpiece automation — feeding and removal automatically via conveyor.
Depth stops?
Adjustable per spindle. Standard 10–40 mm.
Tool change?
Manual, few minutes per spindle.
Gannomat row drilling machines (ProLine 50, Vantage 76-152) are high-performance drilling machines with 50 to 152 spindles for large-series production. A single machine drills entire drilling patterns — such as the entire side wall of a wardrobe — in a single stroke. This is the fastest way to standard carcass parts with 32 mm grid. Row drilling machines are exclusively suitable for large series with low variant diversity; batch-size-1 is not their field. For furniture manufacturers with stable production programs, they are unbeatably economical. Asamer supplies them for CZ, SK and HU including line integration.
When does a row drilling machine pay off?
From approx. 500 workpieces per day with stable production program. Changeover to different drilling patterns is mechanically complex — therefore only sensible with few standard types.
FAQ
Changeover time?
1–4 hours depending on complexity.
Which spindle count for my operation?
76 for medium workpieces, 152 for maximum flexibility.
Automatic workpiece feeding?
Optional, recommended for fully automatic operation.
Gannomat glue systems (Leimfix, Injecta) automate precise glue application to dowels or directly into drillings — a critical process step for reliable furniture connections. Manual glue metering fluctuates between operators and leads to quality differences; automatic systems like Leimfix and Injecta guarantee constant glue quantities. The Leimfix is the standard model for dowel gluing, Injecta for special injection processes. For furniture manufacturers with larger daily output, automating glue application makes economic sense. Asamer supplies Gannomat glue systems for CZ, SK and HU including integration into existing drilling machines.
Leimfix vs. Injecta
Leimfix: metering onto dowel before insertion — the standard case. Injecta: injection directly into drilling after dowel setting — for special applications with higher strength requirements.
FAQ
Which adhesives are compatible?
D3 white glue and PUR adhesives are standard.
Retrofit to existing machines?
Yes — on Gannomat machines immediately, on third-party machines project-dependent.
Cleaning effort?
Daily 2–5 minutes. Weekly thorough flushing.
Gannomat frame drilling machines (Junior 323, Master 325, Mod 160) are specialised for processing furniture, door and window frames.
