fEdge Patriot & Edge STS

Edge Patriot & Edge STS 1-1

CHAPTER 1 Introduction

This chapter provides a description of the Edge Patriot & Edge STS product and identifies safety guide-

lines to ensure personnel safety and proper equipment use.

Overview of the Edge Patriot & Edge STS

The Edge Patriot is a computer-controlled router designed to machine architectural doors for T-strikes,

concealed closures, flush bolts, leaf and European hinges, re-railing and re-stiling, end pivots, or other

mortises up to 3 inches deep that can be cut with a router bit. Also, an optional secondary mortising

unit makes it possible to machine deep-mortise locks up to 5-1/2 inches deep.

Design features include a heavy-duty 7-½ HP Perske router mounted to carriage that pivots for a 0-

degree or 3-degree bevel. Baldor servomotors and Thomson ball screws are used for X-, Y-, and Z-axis

travel. The X-axis travel is 96 inches, while the Y- and Z-axis travels are 2 inches each. The Edge

Patriot can be programmed for feed speeds up to 180 inches-per-minute.

The machine tabletop is L-shaped and consists of inverted caster wheels for easy door positioning. The

L-shape allows routing of either rails or stiles by rotating the door. Three doorstops are provided at 4-

foot intervals. The first stop at the corner of the L-table is used for both stile and rail routing, depending

on door orientation. The middle and far end stops are used to machine rails and stiles on opposite swing

doors. This makes it easy to machine top and bottom flush bolts and a T-strike without turning the door

over.

All machine programming is done from the Edge Patriot’s operator’s station, which featuring a touch-

screen interface. This interface allows the operator to begin working by choosing from an array of basic

door templates. The operator can then modify these templates to custom specifications by filling in a

few data fields in the program, such as hinge depth, locations, backset radius and bevel dimensions. For

example, a template’s graphic screen shows a drawing of a door stile with hinge pockets. The operator

fills in blank dimension fields, and the computer directs the machine to perform the cut. Templates can

be saved for future use.

Templates also exist for flush bolts, roller catches, T-strikes, dead bolt plates and mortise locks. The

software makes it simple to couple door templates with mortising location templates for continuous

machining. For example, the router could automatically machine a top manual flush bolt then move

down to machine a dead bolt plate, a T-strike, and then the bottom manual flush bolt.

For efficiency, the operator can enter the details for the next door while the current door is being pro-

cessed. The screen and switches are used to select door thickness, position of machining, and left- or

right-hand machining. For instance, while a door is being machined, the operator can program the next

door for a T-strike pattern called SCHLAGET at 44-½ inches. The operator selects SCHLAGET as the

pattern, enters 44-½ inches, and when the next door is clamped in position, the machine automatically

cuts for the T-strike as specified. If the following door is the same, the “Start” button can be pressed

again to repeat the pattern.
