LEADERMAC Super Thundermac
The Leading Edge in 4-side Moulding

The concept behind Leadermac is to design and manufacture the most productive, most fine finish and extremely high accuracy moulders to create a competitive edge for our customers. With years of research and development, the new Super Thundermac series has been successfully developed to offer production speed beyond your expectations. With the Leadermac Super Thundermac, you can reduce your production costs, greatly shorten your delivery time and create more profits.

Gives You the Competitive Edge in Productivity and Accuracy

Built for super-high production requirements, the Super Thundermac series of 4-side moulder can bring your production speed to a new level.

The LEADERMAC Super Thundermac series features 200m/min. feed speed as standard. Higher feed speeds of 300m/min. are also available. This, combined with a 6000 RPM spindle speed, makes the moulder exceptionally ideal for high speed cutting operations. The entire machine is ruggedly and compactly constructed for extra high stability during high speed operation. In addition, the Super Thundermac is equipped with a user-friendly PLC control combined with touch-sensing for maximum operational convenience.

Quality Features Add More Value to Your Production

Leadership Through Performance and Reliability

LEADERMAC's wide variety of 4-side moulders have all the very latest technology for increased productivity, product quality & reliability. These Heavy Duty Moulders are designed to provide fast cutting speeds and highest quality & accuracy. These machines are precision manufactured by our highly skilled technicians - plus Leadermac service, training, and moulding know-how is offered with each moulder. No matter what your moulding jobs call for, there is a Leadermac 4-side moulder that's right for you.

OUTSTANDING FEATURES:

  • All moulders awarded with CE certification.
  • Faster feed speeds of up to 200 meters a minute (656 fpm) are standard - to 300 mpm (984 fpm) - optional.
  • Adjustment of each spindle can be easily performed using the front adjustment level.
  • Exclusive, separate adjustment of the vertical spindles and the support tables allows the tables to be positioned extremely close to the cutterheads for added cutting stability.
  • Each spindle is driven by an individual motor for powerful moulding and easy control.
  • Multiple pneumatic pressure of the feed rolls can be easily set to provide an outstanding feeding effect.
  • Table surfaces are hard-chrome plated for maximum wear resistance.
  • All manually adjusted and turning parts are housed in dry grease lubricated bearings for oil-free lubrication.
  • Automatic lubricator is provided to supply oil to the feed tables.
  • Extra Heavy machine frame is specially heat treated for maximum stability and rigidity by standard configuration.
  • The powered outfeed rollers provide stable and smooth workpiece outfeed even for especially thin or smooth materials. The rollers remain perfectly parallel even after long-term use.
  • Mechanical digital readouts for the pressure elements of top spindle.
  • Sectional Chip Breaker Assembly in front of top spindle.
  • Finest Alloy Steel Spindles and housings with 2 sets of Ultra Precision Duplex Bearings in each spindle. All are permanently grease lubricated.
  • Built in Straight and Profile jointers provide accurate operation with high quality finish (Opt.)

PNEUMATICALLY ACTUATED FRONT DOOR

Speed Up Your Moulding Operations with the Latest Technological Breakthroughs from LEADERMAC.

Speed Up Your Moulding Operations with the Latest Technological Breakthroughs from LEADERMAC.

 

Heavy-duty Hydraulic Clamping Support
POWERED INFEED ROLLER

The smooth initial feeding of the stock is achieved by means of the independently powered top and bottom infeed rolls.

SELF ACTUATING FIRST FEED ROLLER

The first feed roller (with built-in clutch) is powered, but with high speed infeed, the roller will run freely, eliminating potential damage to the workpiece and machine. This allows for smooth operation with exceptionally high feed speeds.

DESIGNED FOR PARAMOUNT STABILITY

Powerful, heavy-duty pneumatic side and pressure shoes for the left spindle provide extremely stable pressure for high-speed operations. A pneumatic top pressure roller in front of the right vertical spindle ensures constant stock feed.

Delivering Unparalleled Speed and Power in a High-Efficiency Automated System

INFEED FENCE COOLING (OPT.)

The infeed fence is cooled by a water cooler, which can effectively avoid thermal growth and deformation on the infeed fence during high speed machining.

AIR SPRING LOADED PRESSURE WHEEL

The side pressure wheel at the infeed end of the machine is loaded by air spring for consistent holding pressure, which ensures stable and smooth infeed of wood.

PRESSURE PLATE COATED WITH TUNGSTEN CARBIDE

The front pressure plates for the top horizontal spindles and the right/left vertical spindles are coated with tungsten carbide for maximum wear resistance.

State-of-the-Art Control

Perfectly Designed to Optimize Moulding Efficiency

RIGID, PRECISION SPINDLE 6,000 RPM STANDARD

The spindle is precision machined from high quality steel, specially heat treated, precision ground and dynamically balanced, assuring extremely smooth running, high cutting accuracy and high stability. Each spindle is water-proof and dust-proof to ensure long service life.

CENTRALIZED LUBRICATION POINTS

Greasing to all critical parts is conveniently made by the centralized arrangement of lubrication points.

DUST WIPER

Top and bottom feed rollers are equipped with dust wipers to remove dust from the feed rollers.

The Power and Precision for World-class Production Quality

Quality Proven by Worldwide Customers

Designed with High Production in Mind
The LEADERMAC 4-side molder is a compact power package that integrates high speed and heavy cutting operations, high accuracy, plus minimum trouble to maximize its impressive cutting capabilities. To ensure outstanding cutting results, the 6,000 rpm high speed spindle is carefully manufactured and tested before assembling. High feed speed up to 200 M/min. is driven by a frequency inverted motor, providing variable speed change. Our objective is to enhance each 4-side molder from LEADERMAC in order to upgrade your throughput and create more profits.

SIDE PRESSURE PLATE CLAMPED HYDRAULICALLY

The side pressure plate is clamped securely by hydraulic power.

POWERED TOP AND BOTTOM FEED ROLLERS

Top and bottom feed rollers are powered for powerful and smooth feeding effect.

BALLSCREW AND LINEAR GUIDEWAY

Adjustment for all spindles is transmitted through ballscrews in combination with movement on linear guideways for smooth movement and accurate positioning.

Digital readouts are provided for accurate reading of adjustment amount.
