Overview of the DL-NCD
RPM adjustment for wood, fiberglass or steel doors.
Individual door light patterns are created at the machine console, or remotely using a standard PC.
The DL-NCD includes an industrial PC with a standard Ethernet connection for file transfer and
library backup, as well as occasional internet support and updates from Kval.
With Purchase, the Customer may submit up to Eight(8) door specifications/cutout templates
which will be pre-programmed prior to shipment. Kval suggests the customer submit their more
difficult templates, such as ovals, for the Kval programmers to implement.
KvalCAM Architectural Door Software
KvalCAM, proprietary architectural door software, provides simple machinery programming and
automated G-Code creation. KvalCAM allows customers to easily create template files for a wide
variety of hardware (locks, closers, sweeps, hinges, etc.) by the shape, dimensions, and location of
the hardware cuts. Understanding G-Code machine-logic is no longer needed to develop pro-
grams for new templates.
The DL-NCD is a (Numerically-Controlled Door Light Cut-Out Machine)
equipped with AC servo control for all three axes of cutting, ‘X’ (Length
of the door), ‘Y’ (width of the door),
and ‘Z’ (Depth into the face of the
door). The ‘Z’ axis servo control
makes it simple to program for
security locks where the face
bore is machined to a precise
depth and also allows the operator
to reduce the plunge speed to
minimize tearout in the bottom
face when machining small diam-
eter holes. When the DL-NCD is used as a drill, deburring
on the bottom face may be required.
The DL-NCD is equipped with an automatic feed and width
adjust system to automatically receive doors, position the door
against the stop, clamp the door and start the machining sequence if the instructions have been
downloaded.
The DL-NCD can process doors that vary in height from 6’-6” to 8’-0”, 12” to 3’-6” in width and
1-3/4” in thickness. Minimum distance from edge of cutout to edge of door is 1-1/2" on both
sides.The direct drive high frequency spindle motor for cutting the door is equipped with an
automatic tool changer and access to eight (8) additional tool holders placed in a fixture along
the fixed side of the machine. Programs can call for an automatic tool change to match the spec-
ified door cutting process.
