Josting

Josting is a medium sized family business situated in a beautiful area of Germany, Josting have been designing and manufacturing guillotines for over eighty years and for many industries, including; veneer, foil, and paper guillotines. With a dedicated and experienced workforce Josting have been able to establish a proven production system that controls overheads and ensures they remain competitive in a modern world. With a quality control second to none, Josting ensure their equipment is of the highest standard that will give their customers peace of mind, knowing they have purchased a machine that solves all their cutting requirements in one stroke.

	Josting Length cut veneer guillotine, model: EFS A Josting length cut veneer guillotine has been in existence since 1925 and over the years has developed into a sophisticated, safe and accurate cutting machine of veneer bundles. The machine will produce precision straight and parallel cuts which allow tight joints to all veneer splicing. The cutting action of the blade is created by a brake motor and gear unit with a crank driving action. This action is transposed into a horizontal cutting action and powerfully slices through the veneers at twenty degrees. The brake motor is intermittent as is also the hydraulic unit for the pressure beam and only works when cutting, thus keeping noise levels down to a minimum. The cutting blade is removed from the front of the machine making blade changing safe and quick. The blade has 30mm of sharpening area and is hardened to its full height to prevent the blade from deforming up to its final regrind. The cutting insert has a unique design and gives 16 positions for cutting before replacing. The machine comes with:- Timer for blade return stroke. Right hand 90° fence for cross cutting. Motorised back fence for rough positioning. Manual wheel for the final accurate position. Digital read-out of the back fence position. A green light for locating the cut position. Two button operation for safety. Two pressure setting to the pressure beam. Photo cell guarding to the cutting area. Re set button, required when emergency stop is actuated. Second cut facility (optional). P.C. Controller (optional)

	Josting Double knife length cutting veneer guillotine, model: ZFS Evolution of the Josting veneer cutting guillotine, model: EFS (see above) has now been developed into the ultimate double knife veneer cutting guillotine. This guillotine will not only increase production but will at the same time produce accurate, parallel veneer bundles in one operation. It has all the features of the EFS but with the following differences :- Bottom blade operated hydraulically. Top blade operated by an electro-mechanical movement. Full width hydraulically operated pressure beam. Cutting mats to top and bottom are full width. PC controller as standard. Double cut facility (optional). Laser optimisation unit (optional). The pneumatic back fence is hinged to allow rear ejection of the veneer waste. This double knife guillotine will cut an average of two bundles of veneer per minute over a day's production.

	Josting Cross cut veneer guillotine, model: QFS 850 This unique cross cutting guillotine is designed to prevent tear-out and the splitting of the grain with its powerful vertical cutting action. Due to the narrow head construction the operator has an excellent view of the veneer and the cutting area. The knife bevel is located on the right hand side of the blade for working from left to right but optionally this can be reversed. The machine comes complete with :- Two measuring tapes. A green light for locating the cut position. Two button operation for safety. Plexiglas guarding to the cutting area. Steel fence at 90° to the blade with two positions. The sprung loaded pressure beam is lowered at the same time as the blade by a brake motor and gear unit with a crank driving action. This action is transposed into a vertical cutting action and powerfully slices through the veneer. The brake motor is intermittent and only works when cutting, thus keeping noise levels down to a minimum.

	Josting Cross cut veneer guillotine, model: QFS 800 This unique cross cutting guillotine is designed with a 'G' frame to allow the feeding of the veneer bundles from the front of the machine as well as end loading. Due to the narrow head construction the operator has an excellent view of the veneer and the cutting area. The knife bevel is located on the left hand side of the blade for working from right to left. The machine comes complete with :- Two measuring tapes. A green light for locating the cut position. Two button operation for safety. Plexiglas guarding to the cutting area. Steel fence at ninety degrees to the blade with two positions. The sprung loaded pressure beam is lowered at the same time as the blade by a brake motor and gear unit with a crank driving action that slices through the veneer at twenty degrees. The brake motor is intermittent and only works when cutting, thus keeping noise levels down to a minimum.

	Josting veneer waste chopper, model: FAZ 100 A chopping machine especially designed for veneer waste strips and veneer pack trimmings. By simple adjustment the size of the cut chipping can be varied to suit the customer's needs and then transported directly to the disposal skip or directly to your factory burner as a free fuel by the use of the extraction system. If skips are used to remove the chippings the cost of the skips are reduced from between 50% and 75% and labour cost are drastically cut by eliminating the need for labourers attempting to manually compress the veneer strips into the skips. Labour cost can also be reduced on the shop floor as the waste veneer can be transferred directly from the guillotine to the chopping machine. Justification is therefore easily achieved when purchasing this equipment.

	Josting Foil cutting machine: FS The Josting foil cutter has been designed to automatically cut furniture foil materials from the roll to cut size sheets. The machine comes complete with :- Counters for length cut and number of cut pieces. Feed speed infinitely variable. A pole-changing brake motor ensures high accuracy for length cutting. Cut pieces are stacked on a collecting table. Air rail at the out-feed to assist stacking of the cut pieces. Optional :- Multi roll foil holder. Circular knife slitting unit for sizing the roll prior to length cutting.

	Josting Foil slitting machine, model: FLS The Josting foil slitter has been designed for the exact and neat slitting of furniture foil materials. From one wide roll, several narrow rolls can be slit to cut size and rewound onto the out-feed station. Ideal for the foil wrapping industry where different width foils are required to produce various furniture components by wrapping foils around MDF shaped components.

	Josting high speed cross cutting system, model: FO3 This unique high speed cross cutting system utilises the cross cut guillotine, model: QFS 850 combined with in-feed and out-feed conveyors which can be set for defect cutting or an automatic cutting cycle. The operator marks the defect area on the veneer bundle with chalk and sets the conveyor in motion. Cameras detect the chalk marks and automatically cuts out the defected areas.
