Tenoners For Flooring

A double end tenoner configured specifically for engineered flooring production — tongue and groove profiling on both ends in a single pass, with layout and tooling matched to your line. Worth a conversation with IWM before you specify.

Typically chosen by

  • Engineered flooring manufacturers needing a dedicated tenoning solution rather than a general-purpose machine
  • Production managers looking to specify a line where feed direction, spacing, or tooling configuration needs to match an existing workflow
  • Workshops scaling up flooring output who need a machine that can be adapted as production requirements change

Key specification considerations

Application
Engineered flooring manufacture
Machine Type
Double End Tenoner
Profiles both ends of each board simultaneously in a single pass, which is what keeps tongue and groove geometry consistent across a production run.
Manufacturer
E-Chain
Configuration
Customisable to application
Configurable layouts mean the machine can be adapted to suit your feed direction, line speed, and tooling requirements — worth discussing your exact setup with IWM before specifying.

Configuration Options
Customisable
Specific configurations available on request — IWM can help define the right layout for your production needs.
Working Width Range
Confirm with IWM
Working width is defined at the configuration stage and depends on the board dimensions you are running — contact IWM to discuss your specific range.
Feed Speed
Confirm with IWM
Feed speed affects throughput directly; IWM will confirm the available range and help match it to your target output.
Motor Power
Confirm with IWM
Total installed power varies by spindle count and configuration — IWM can provide full electrical detail once the configuration is defined.
Electrical Supply
Confirm with IWM
Supply requirements depend on the configured spindle count; a 3-phase supply is standard for machines of this type — confirm with IWM before site preparation.
Machine Dimensions
Confirm with IWM
Overall footprint depends on configuration and conveyor length; allow additional clearance at infeed and outfeed for material handling and operator access.
Machine Weight
Confirm with IWM
Machines of this type typically exceed 500 kg — floor loading should be checked against your workshop slab specification before installation.
Noise Level
Confirm with IWM
Double end tenoners in production use typically operate above 80 dB — acoustic treatment and hearing protection should be assessed as part of your installation planning.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Tenoners For Flooring if...

  • Your primary output is engineered flooring and you need a machine designed around that application rather than adapted from a general tenoner
  • You need a configurable setup — for example, a non-standard feed direction, specific board dimensions, or integration into an existing production line
  • You are running a dedicated flooring line where consistent tongue and groove profiling across high volumes is the priority
  • You want to discuss a bespoke configuration with a specialist before committing to a specification

Consider an alternate model if...

  • You need single-end grooving rather than double-end tenoning — the ECT-C2 Single End Grooving Machine may be more appropriate for your process
  • Your application is window or door component manufacture rather than flooring — the ECT-Windotec Series is built for that profile
  • You are producing a broader range of joinery components and need a more general-purpose double end tenoner — the NC Type Automatic Double End Tenoner or ECT-SET100 may suit a mixed workload better
  • You need a sizing rather than tenoning operation — the Double End Sizer C Type is worth discussing with IWM as an alternative
