12-Axis CNC Knurling and Strip Insertion Machine
The 12-axis CNC knurling and strip insertion machine is designed for thermal break aluminum profile assembly. It creates mechanical locking teeth inside the profile grooves before inserting polyamide thermal barrier strips, improving the mechanical engagement between the aluminum profile and insulation strip.
The machine integrates CNC knurling and strip insertion functions with an automatic clamping system, enabling efficient profile processing and reducing manual operations during thermal break assembly.
Key Features
CNC Knurling and Strip Insertion Integration
The machine combines profile knurling and polyamide thermal barrier strip insertion in one coordinated process. The knurling tools create mechanical teeth inside the aluminum profile grooves, improving the mechanical engagement between the aluminum profile and polyamide thermal barrier strip.
Automatic Positioning
The CNC system supports automatic profile positioning through data import. The integrated transfer system reduces manual adjustment and improves production efficiency.
Dual-Side Knurling and Strip Insertion Process
The machine uses upper and lower knurling structures to process different profile sides. The automatic transfer and alignment system enables profile positioning without manual turning, improving production efficiency and operation safety.
Flexible CNC Adjustment for Different Profiles
Independent axis control enables precise adjustment of profile height, width, and processing position. The machine can adapt to irregular, stepped, and offset thermal break aluminum profiles.
Intelligent CNC Control System
Profile data can be imported by scanning a QR code, allowing the system to generate accurate knurling and strip insertion parameters.
How Does the CNC Knurling and Strip Insertion Process Work?

The thermal break profile assembly process starts with CNC knurling, which creates mechanical teeth on the inner surface of the aluminum profile groove.
The polyamide thermal barrier strip is then inserted into the prepared groove and positioned securely. After strip insertion, the profile moves to the rolling crimping stage to complete the thermal break assembly process.
Thermal Break Profile Assembly Process:
Profile Knurling → Polyamide Strip Insertion → Rolling Crimping → Finished Thermal Break Profile
Core Components
The machine uses high-quality components to ensure stable operation and long-term reliability.
The drive system adopts servo motors combined with Taiwan Hiwin ball screws and square linear guides, providing accurate transmission, smooth movement, and reduced mechanical wear.
The electrical control system uses Schneider components to improve safety and reliability during continuous production.

FAQ
What is a CNC knurling and strip insertion machine?
A CNC knurling and strip insertion machine is used to prepare thermal break aluminum profiles by creating mechanical teeth inside the profile groove and inserting polyamide thermal barrier strips.
Why is knurling required before strip insertion?
Knurling creates serrated teeth inside the aluminum profile groove, which improves the mechanical engagement and friction between the aluminum profile and polyamide strip.
What type of profiles can the machine process?
The machine can process various thermal break aluminum profiles, including standard, irregular, stepped, and offset profile designs.
Can the machine automatically adjust for different profiles?
Yes. The CNC system supports automatic positioning, parameter adjustment, and one-click reset for different profile configurations.
What is the difference between knurling and rolling crimping?
Knurling creates mechanical teeth inside the aluminum profile groove before strip insertion, while rolling crimping secures the assembled profile and thermal barrier strip after insertion.
Can this machine be integrated into a complete thermal break production line?
Yes. The machine can be integrated with rolling crimping equipment to form a complete thermal break aluminum profile assembly line.
Why is knurling required before inserting polyamide strips?
Knurling creates mechanical teeth inside the aluminum profile groove, improving the engagement between the aluminum profile and polyamide thermal barrier strip before the rolling crimping process.
