1.2 Doors
Doors are made up of a frame and one or more hinged door elements. The frame is obtained by
machining four elements: right upright, left upright, bottom crossbar and top crossbar.
The door element can be made by machining individual elements (uprights, crossbars and panels)
to be assembled, or by internal and external profiling of sandwich panels of various thickness.

1.3 Planning the door

The door plan depends on the model of door element you wish to create:

“made-up door”; (figure 2) a door element created by joining various pieces of wood: crossbars
A, uprights B, panels C. The project for this type of door means that it is possible to generate a
program for the frame and for the individual door elements to be assembled.

Figure 2

“sandwich-panel door”; (figure 3) a sandwich-panel door element in which to create from one to
three spaces in which to insert glass A or wooden B door panels. The project for this type of door
means that it is possible to generate a program for the frame and for the sandwich panel profiling
operations to create the door.

Figure 3

“sandwich-panel/milled door”; (figure 4) sandwich -panel door on which to carry out various
type of machining operation: blind milling A/C or through milling operations to create spaces in
which to insert panes of glass or wooden panels B (door panels). The project for this type of door
means that it is possible to generate a program for the frame and for the sandwich panel profiling
operations to create the door.

1.4 Types of machining operation

„ Assembly operations:

Milling operations to form the joint A, B or C, to be carried out on some side surfaces of the
frame elements.
Machining of bores in which to insert the dowels used to join frame or door elements.

„ Cuts to square the pieces and bring them to the correct length.

„ Machining operations to create the internal and external profile of the door (squaring the door
element, profiling to form the central panels, rough-milling, etc.).
„ Machining operations to create the glazing bead.

„ Machining operations to create the pockets required for insertion of hardware elements
(handles, locks and hinges).

1.5 Brief description of macros

The macros to be used to design the door may be grouped together as follows:
„ “Configuration macros”

„ “Geometrical macros”

„ “Machining macros”

„ “Hardware macros”

„ “Positioning macros”

„ “Position setting macros”

Development of the project involves the use of one or more macros from the various groups. The

2 Programming doors

Doors are programmed using special macros, which can be called up from within the document
(machining program). The types of door that can be programmed depend on the model of door
element )“made-up door”, “sandwich-panel door” or “sandwich-panel/milled door”), and on
application of the macros.

The procedure to be followed to create the door is given below:

1. Create a new document, ignoring the parameters present in the dialogue box Piece variables.

2. Call up the configuration macros required. For a description, please see the following
paragraphs:

2.2 Configuring the door

There are two door configuration macros:

1. Primary parameters macro dictating the basic project features, i.e. defining the type of
program to be generated: program for the frame, for the door element, for the door panels, etc.
This macro must be called up in every program.

type of joints. This macro must be called up in every program.

To call up the primary parameters macro, click on . Set the following data fields:

door panel to generate.
1 = top panel.
2 = bottom panel.

2.8 Simplified work table tooling

This type of tooling is only applicable in the program for single elements of the door type “made-up
door” and it can be used to considerably facilitate the work table parameter setting operations.

Click on the button and fill in the following data fields:

NP; number of mobile panel supports making up the machine.

OFF1; protrusion of the uprights from the mobile support (ref. A, figure 61).

OFF2; protrusion of the crossbars from the mobile support (ref. B, figure 61).

Figure 61

A B B

To make the macro work it is necessary to enable the data field Sole origin in the dialogue box
Piece variables.

Run the WorkTableTooling application and tool up the work table as follows:

1. Select the individual mobile panel supports.

2. Display the quick menu and click on the option Positions.

3. Enable the option button Parametric.

4. In field Reference side select option Centre.

5. In field Expression, enter the variable PIA followed by the active support number (e.g. PIA1
for the first mobile support; PIA2 for the second, etc.).

6. Select the carriages and then position them.

7. Save the tooling (see chapter“Work table management” in the BiesseWorks user manual).

The examples given in this chapter show the criteria with which the door macros are to be applied.

3.1 Creating a “made-up door” type door

Let us suppose we have to create a semifinished door with two internal panels and a frame.

To create this type of door it is sufficient to generate four documents (machining programs): three
for the door element and one for the frame.

Document No. 1
Document used to create the internal door machining operations, in which to insert the three
configuration macros A, the three macros B to generate the geometry of the crossbars, the
machining macros C used to create the bores, the cuts and the profiling operations, and finally the
positioning macro D (figure 62).

To view the elements in graphic mode, modify the parameters in macro Configuratore porta ,
entering a value of 0 in data field P_T and a value of 1 in data field PREV.

Let us suppose we have to create a sandwich-panel door in which it is necessary to carry out two
through milling operations to insert the panels.
The sandwich-panel door is designed like the “made-up door” type door and the geometries
obtained depend on the settings defined in the crossbar macros.

To create this type of door it is sufficient to generate two documents (machining programs): one for
the door element and one for the frame.
