Equipment

U.B. Klem invests in equipment that supports our employees so that they can get the job done right. We take pride in our ability to process large quantities in an efficient, precise and cost effective manner. Scroll below to look at our equipment line-up.

CNCs

We are excited to announce the addition of a 2022 Greda Poker V5 CNC Lathe. In the last two years our turning business has substantially grown. We added a second traditional lathe to our line-up to help meet the growing need, but didn’t solve our production issues entirely. We knew the Greda name for years, but when they showed us the newest version, “5”, we knew it was a must-have machine for our facility. The Greda CNC combines multiple machines (4 headed tilting drill, cutting saw, shaper head, 3 different sanding heads, and a gouging knife) into one unit, providing maximum efficiencies for turnings. Since it is a CNC, the lathe can keep the axis still, allowing it to work on square legs too, which is a nicely added benefit.

The 2020 Bacci Twin-Jet 5-Axis machine continues to open doors into new lines of products that would have previously been unattainable. It has been a great addition to our CNC line-up. This is our first 5-Axis machine and helps us to be more efficient and competitive on current production parts. And now we can welcome difficult projects we would have previously declined.

Other Major Equipment

Since attending the 2018 IWF show in Atlanta, we have had our eye on Weinig’s new HSK Powermat Moulders. Well, we finally pulled the trigger and ordered one in February 2021 and it arrived in June! The Weinig Powermat 700, 6 head, HSK quick release moulder will significantly reduce setup times, allowing us to be more competitive on price for our products and moldings. Can’t wait to see what doors it opens for us in the future!

Adding a second Holzma Panel Saw in 2016 has given us the flexibility to have one machine dedicated to high-production customers while using the other to complete shorter quick-run projects.
