Copenstick PIN

Copenstick ·Timber Window & Door
A dedicated foot-pedal nailing station for assembling mitred glazing bead cassettes on pre-finished timber windows and doors — faster, more consistent, and with no trace of the fixing on the finished face.

Typically chosen by

  • Joinery manufacturers producing pre-finished timber window and door frames who need a faster, cleaner method of assembling glazing bead cassettes
  • Workshops where leaving no visible fixing on the face side of a finished frame is a non-negotiable quality requirement
  • Operations running multiple cassette sizes simultaneously, needing organised component staging and a repeatable nailing sequence rather than a manual ad-hoc approach

Key specification considerations

Magazine Capacity
12 sets
The 12-rack magazine lets an operator stage all perimeter bead components for multiple frames before nailing begins, reducing handling interruptions during a production run.
Nail Actuation
Foot pedal
Foot-pedal firing keeps both hands free to hold and position the bead against the fence, which matters when working with longer or lighter profiles.
Nail Position Adjustment
Two sliding stops with thumbscrew lock
Extension Tables
Adjustable (included)
Adjustable outfeed support is important when assembling longer perimeter bead profiles that would otherwise tip or flex during the nailing operation.

Reference Fence
90° fixed fence
Extension Tables
Adjustable (included)
Adjustable outfeed support is important when assembling longer perimeter bead profiles that would otherwise tip or flex during the nailing operation.
Fixing Visibility
No trace on face side of finished frame
The special nails are driven from the underside of the mitred joint, which is a practical requirement for any pre-finished or painted frame where reworking a visible fixing is not an option.
Power Supply
240 V single-phase, 50 Hz
Standard single-phase supply — confirm exact amperage requirement with IWM before installation planning.
Air Supply Requirement
Compressed air required — confirm supply pressure with IWM
The PIN is a pneumatic nailing station and requires a workshop compressed air supply; confirm the working pressure and flow rate needed before commissioning.
Machine Dimensions
Confirm with IWM — ships in 66 × 69 × 137 cm timber crate
Crated shipping dimensions are provided for delivery planning; contact IWM for the operating footprint, including clearance needed for operator access and bead infeed.
Machine Weight
97 kg net (148 kg crated)
At under 500 kg, floor loading is unlikely to be a concern for most workshop slabs, but confirm if siting on a suspended or lightweight floor.
Compatible Nail / Fixing Specification
Proprietary special nail — confirm specification and consumable supply with IWM
The concealed fixing system relies on a proprietary nail driven from the underside of the mitre; confirm availability and ongoing supply of the correct consumable before committing to the machine.
Bead Profile Size Range
Confirm with IWM
Profile size compatibility depends on your specific bead section — talk to IWM before specifying to confirm the PIN will accommodate your glazing bead dimensions.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Copenstick PIN if...

  • Your workshop assembles glazing bar cassettes for pre-finished timber windows and doors and the current process is slow, inconsistent, or leaving visible fixings on finished faces
  • You need to stage and work through multiple cassette sizes in a single session — the 12-set magazine means components for different frames can be racked and ready rather than picked individually
  • A clean, invisible fixing on the face side is a quality or contractual requirement that a manual pinning approach cannot reliably deliver
  • You want a dedicated, purpose-built station for this one operation rather than adapting a general-purpose nailer or press

Consider an alternate model if...

  • Your requirement is end-profiling or scribing of glazing bead rather than cassette assembly — the HEP Glazing Bead End Profile Scribing Machine or the Dan-List PME 100 Endscribe Machine are designed for that task
  • You need a machine that handles a broader range of glazing bead operations beyond mitred cassette pinning — the Copenstick STP, UNI, or TDL may cover a wider scope of bead processing and are worth discussing alongside the PIN
  • Your volume of cassette assembly is low enough that a dedicated station is hard to justify — talk to us and we can advise whether a simpler approach would serve you better
  • Your bead profiles fall outside the size range the PIN is designed to accommodate — speak to IWM to confirm profile size compatibility before specifying
