A horizontal bore, glue, and dowel insertion machine for cabinet, casework, furniture, closet, and panel production requiring repeatable dowel construction.
Combine drilling, glue injection, and dowel insertion in one controlled production process.
The SCM OMAL HBD 1300 1H is built for cabinet, commercial casework, closet, furniture, and panel-production shops moving dowel construction away from separate manual operations.
The machine combines horizontal boring, adhesive injection, and dowel insertion with panel clamping and programmable referencing to prepare parts for assembly and case clamping.
Sure Shot dowel verification, laser measuring, barcode-based loading-zone selection, Auto-start Sensor operation, and top-drill equipment must be confirmed against the selected configuration. Top drills can prevent vertical part clamping.

Capability Matrix
Dowel-Construction Modes
Configure the HBD 1300 1H around drilling strategy, glue delivery, dowel package, part orientation, referencing, and production-control workflow.
Mode 01
Horizontal Boring
Drill repeat dowel patterns into panel edges through the selected horizontal boring configuration.
Mode 02
Glue Injection
Apply adhesive into the prepared holes as part of the integrated bore-glue-dowel sequence.
Mode 03
Dowel Insertion
Insert dowels through the OMAL revolver system and the confirmed dowel-feeding package.
Mode 04
Programmable Referencing
Use retractable centre and side fences with left, left-centre, right-centre, or right loading zones.
Mode 05
Measured Part Flow
Available laser measuring and Auto-start Sensor functions can support width recognition and sequence-flexible processing.
Production Advantages
Repeatable Part Preparation for Dowel Assembly
The HBD 1300 1H combines workholding, referencing, dowel verification, and integrated processing in a focused assembly-preparation platform.
Sure Shot Dowel Verification
The revolver holds one dowel while another is inserted, and a fibre-optic sensor verifies the next dowel is present.
Robust Four-Clamp Workholding
Four standard clamps support stable part holding vertically or horizontally, depending on the selected machine package.
Automated Referencing Options
Available laser, barcode, and Auto-start functions can reduce manual program selection and support mixed part sequences.
Equipment Range
Lineup Positioning
Manual Process
Separate Drilling, Gluing & Dowel Insertion
For low-volume work where operators manage drilling, adhesive, dowel placement, and part sequencing as separate steps.
Expanded Dowel Cell
HBD 1550 / Velox / Cube
For larger frames, expanded drilling strategies, or a more automated dowel-construction cell.
HBD 1300 1H
Focused Bore-Glue-Dowel Production
For horizontal drilling, glue injection, dowel insertion, four-clamp workholding, programmable referencing, and available measured part flow.

Production Environments
Where the HBD 1300 1H Fits
For production departments preparing repeat dowel-joined parts before cabinet, furniture, closet, or case-clamp assembly.
Move parts from programmed referencing to assembly-ready dowel preparation.
The HBD 1300 1H combines horizontal boring, glue injection, and dowel insertion in a controlled sequence for repeat cabinet and furniture components.
Four standard clamps, retractable referencing fences, selectable loading zones, and Sure Shot dowel verification support stable and repeatable processing.
Final configuration should confirm panel orientation, top drills, dowel diameter and length, hopper and glue package, laser measuring, barcode flow, Auto-start Sensor, electrical service, compressed air, installation, training, warranty, and support.
