The WeComplete Journey
Primary Processing: ...So which machine is the best?
We're often asked which primary processing option is best- Shapers, CNC Routers, or Angular Processing Centers? The truth is, there's no silver bullet. Each option has its own unique strengths, which might suit your shop. It all depends on your...
Shop Size: Is the machine going to fit in your space with all the other machines above? Will it give your team enough room to move workpieces around the shop?
Style and Volume Goals: How many windows or doors do you want to make every day? Are you going to be mass-producing one or two windows or doors, or doing bespoke custom work?
Operator Skill and Experience: What's your operator comfortable with? Working with a shaper is an art form which a craftsman's skill and touch, while CNC machines are best used with someone comfortable using the programming software. Whoever is using it needs the right skills to actually run the machine effectively!
A one-size-fits-all approach just won't do for choosing the right machine for your shop. Many successful producers use more than one type of machine to process their windows or doors to use each machine to its strengths. Regardless of your configuration, we have deep experience in configuring sets that will work seamlessly for all types and machine producers.
The Rangate Advantage
We developed Alpine Technical Workshops to support the skills and knowledge needed to build windows and doors right using the shaper. 10 years later, it’s still one of the most valuable experiences for solid wood window and door craftsmanship.
Rangate has extensive experience designing tool sets for 5-axis CNC routing, including the most advanced technology. We optimize designs to perform multiple cuts, minimizing time spent on tool changes and maximizing the amount of available space in your tool holder.
Combining the precision of CNC processing with the speed of lineal feeding, angular processing centers are an ideal solution for many producers. These machines are capable of mounting tall stacks of large diamater tooling for precision tenoning and profiling of windows and doors.
Our successful projects include installations with all major producers.
