Threespine ID
Inclined dowels
Threespine ID uses inclined dowels and a newly developed locking device, Pinlock, to successfully prevent panels from separating and to secure the lasting results. In production, this innovative solution is based on the industry’s traditional drilling methods to ensure easy implementation and avoid major changes in the design and manufacturing stages.

Drilling & doweling
To form the holes for the inclined dowels and the locking device, the only method required is a modified drilling. This is a stand-alone process that will only affect the drilling procedure making implementation both effortless and cost-efficient. Drilling machines for the inclined dowels are offered by all major machine suppliers. The inclined dowels and Pinlocks are inserted in production by existing dowel insertion equipment.

Drilling and dowel insertion
The UNIFLEX base.line from Koch is a drilling and dowel insertion machine with PTP function for processing small and cabinet parts. The through-feed drilling machine is ideally suited for double-sided drilling and doweling for batch size 1 as well as small volume production.
Drilling and dowel patterns are stored in the program, so even workpieces of varying width can be processed one after another with minimal stop and set-up times. Each workpiece is processed on a point-to-point basis utilising of NC-control, from fast transport and precise positioning through to efficient drilling and dowel insertion. The UNIFLEX can be used as a stand-alone machine or integrated into a complete production line.
Threespine Core
Flexible plastic insert
Threespine Core uses profiling to form a groove side and a corresponding tongue side. The flexible plastic inserts are placed on the groove side to form a strong and active locking element. Even the back panels are profiled to be easily clicked into place which means that all components are integrated in production.

Edgebanding lines
You can use your existing edgebanding lines for high-volume production. The profiling requires a total of 3-5 motor positions of which 2-3 must be jumpable. As an alternative, a separate profiling machine can be added to complement your edgebanding machine.

Profiling lines
Single- or double-sided profiling lines in combination with edgebanding machines is another great option for high-volume production. Edgebanding can take place before or after profiling depending on your preferences.
Threespine Core
Inserter machines
The plastic inserts connecting the panels are integrated during production using an inserter machine. Choose the fully automatic, high-speed inline inserter for high-volume production or the semi-automated, handheld equipment for smaller production volumes.
Boost your factory output
Just as Threespine makes assembly faster and easier for the final user, it also makes factory assembly more efficient. Traditional process steps such as gluing and screwing become obsolete, thereby saving both time and space in the factory. By using assembly robotics, you can minimize the assembly time and maximize the output from the assembly line. With one production set-up, panels with Threespine can either be flat packed or factory assembled.
