described and illustrated below.

The paragraphs marked with this symbol indicate an imminent danger, and the

contents must therefore be carefully taken into account in order to prevent serious

accidents.

The paragraphs marked with this symbol indicate procedures to be used to avoid any

damage to goods and property.

This symbol is used to indicate points of particular importance that must not be overlooked.

Glossary

The following glossary includes the list and description of the specific terms for the BiesseFolding

macros.

For information on the general terms refer to the Glossary in the BiesseWorks instructions for use.

Channel

Profile made on the wooden panel in order to create a score (groove) with a milling cutter or

circular blade.

Coated panel

Panel made of wood (plywood, MDF or chipboard) with one or both surfaces coated with

different material (melamine, PVC, etc.).

Folding Technique

Construction technique for pieces of furniture that consists in folding a single wooden panel on

which 90° scores are applied (“V” milling for folding), in order to obtain perfect corners and

angles.

FoldingSee “Folding Technique”

Piece of furniture

An individual piece of furniture, such as a chest of drawers, a bedside table, an overhead unit,

etc.

Side

Side element of the piece of furniture.

Wooden panel

General term used to define a panel made of wood, such as a plywood, chipboard, MDF, etc.

1 Introduction

The Biesse Folding macros are used to design pieces of furniture using the “Folding” technique.

The term “Folding” refers to a construction system for pieces of furniture that involves folding a

single wooden panel on which scores are applied at ninety degrees, in order to obtain perfect

corners and angles (see figure 1).

Figure 1

The necessary machining operations are designed and programmed with the aid of suitable

macros, which are to be called up inside the BPP document.

Find below the sequence of operations to be followed during the piece of furniture programming

stage:

1. Run the Editor application software and display the corresponding toolbar using one of the

following procedures:

• click on menu Display and on the option Additions Toolbar > BiesseFolding;

• display the context menu of the menu bar and click on the option Additions Toolbar >

BiesseFolding.

If the BiesseFolding bar is not displayed, macros are disabled: in this case enable them (see

chapter related to the use of macros in the BiesseWorks instructions for use).

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

2. Call up the macros to design geometries (see section “Design macros”).

3. Call up the necessary machining macros (see section “Machining macros”).

1.1 Description of macrosThe macros to be used can be grouped together as follows:

“Design macros”

“Machining macros”

Design macros

Machining macros

The macros in this group are used to insert the necessary machining operations according to the

type of tool used: circular blade or circular milling cutter.

Button Description

Geometric parameter macros to define the profile of the piece of furniture on which

to make the channels (see section 2.1, page 11).

Button Description

Macro to carry out rough cutting operations, to be applied before the actual

machining operation, or to finish the final shape, cutting the excess material(waste).

For a detailed description of this macro, see section 2.2, page 14.

Macro to make cuts using the circular milling cutter installed in an adjustable

spindle (see figure 2). Its application excludes the use of the macro . For a

detailed description of this macro, see section 2.3, page 14.

2 Use of the macros

The following chapter includes the information on how to use the macros to program the wooden

panel machining using the “Folding” technique.

In the following paragraphs, only the specific parameters for each individual macro are

described. For the description of the technological parameters present on the dialogue

boxes, see the chapter corresponding to machining operation programming, in theBiesseWorks instructions for use.

2.1 Description of the macro Folding geometries

To call up the macro Folding geometries, click on . Fill in the data fields and confirm the

settings by clicking on .

The parameters present in the dialogue box can be divided into three groups:

“General parameters”; general parameters, to be filled in according to your own requirements.

“Parameters to define the scores”; parameters to be filled in to create a piece of furniture

defining the channels positioning points with precision.

“Parameters to define the piece of furniture dimensions”; parameters to be filled in to create a

piece of furniture according to its dimensions: width, thickness and height. The filling in of

these parameters is overriding, i.e. it excludes filling in of the parameters that are part of the

group “Parameters to define the scores”.

General parameters

ANG; angle of the score to be made in order to fold the wooden panel.

P; score depth.

S; height of the chamfer present on the circular tool (blade or milling cutter) that will make the

score (figure 4). This parameter is only valid for the tools installed in an adjustable spindle.

BOX; used to define the type of the piece of furniture.

• 0 = piece of furniture without casing (figure 5).

• 1 = open piece of furniture (figure 5).

• 2 = closed piece of furniture (figure 5).

Figure 5

SF; used to carry out through machining operations after the channels final point, so that the wastecan be removed more easily.

Parameters to define the scores

XS; distance in X between the wooden panel side margin and the channel centre.

XN; number of channels to be made along the X axis.

XP; distance in X between adjacent channels.

YS; distance in Y between the wooden panel side margin and the channel centre.

YN; number of channels to be made along the Y axis.

YP; distance in Y between adjacent channels.

Parameters to define the piece of furniture dimensionsBL; piece of furniture width (figure 6).

BP; piece of furniture depth (figure 6).

BA; piece of furniture height (figure 6).

2.2 Description of the macro Folding roughing-out

To call up the macro Folding roughing-out, click on . Fill in the data fields and confirm the


2.3 Description of the macro Tilting blade folding

To call up the macro Tilting blade folding, click on . Fill in the data fields and confirm the


IND; used to reverse the feed direction of the tool. When making the score, the tool does not begin

at the profile start point, but at the endpoint.

0 = function disabled.

1 = function enabled.

Programming tips

It is advisable to set, in the Correction data field, the Right Corr. option.

The Depth data field must not be filled in, as the depth value is obtained from the settings

defined in the macro Folding geometries.

2.4 Description of the macro Vertical blade folding

To call up the macro Vertical blade folding, click on . Fill in the data fields and confirm the


S; blade thickness.

IND; used to reverse the feed direction of the tool. When making the score, the tool does not begin

at the profile start point, but at the endpoint.0 = function disabled.

1 = function enabled.

Programming tips

It is advisable to set, in the Correction data field, the Centre Corr. option.

The Depth data field must not be filled in, as the depth value is obtained from the settings

defined in the macro Folding geometries.
