Cassese is launching the range of underpinned, replacing "XL" the previous "Ultra" range. "XL" range still features the famous Ultra™ Clamping system, but also allows a much wider joining capacity to the top of Cassese underpinned range : 190mm stroke (7" 1/2) for mouldings up to150mm wide (&'). Although all these underpinners are equiped with this same superb state of the art technology, each one is tailored to the requirements of different type offramers.

FEATURES OF THE CASSESE « XL » RANGE

• Ultra Powerful Double-action « push and tighten » rebate clamp: Position one of the moulding pieces up to the guide, then lay the second piece roughly place. The special action of the clamps draws them accurately and firmly together. Indeed, the clamps literally bit into the rebate of the 2 pieces of mouldings to pull and tighten them very strongly against each other. This ensures a high quality join every time, even on very wide mouldings. This is unique to Cassese.

•Wider joining capacities : 190mm stroke (7" %) For mouldings up to 150mm wide (6")

. New adjustable plunger For a quick adjustment and optimal clamping

. No pressure adjustment required When changing between softwood and hardwood. This saves time and reduces risk of damage.

• Symmetrical moving of the Top Clamp & Firing Mechanism This ensures that mouldings are firmly held on the same point from the top and thebottom so to avoid them to rock during joining.

• Patented self-adjusting back support Are adjustable very accurately to the shape of any moulding profile, to prevent gaps in the top or bottom of the join.

All these underpinners join mouldings from 5mm up to 150mm wide, and from 7mm up to 112mm tall. They all use Cassese wedges in plastic cartridges, from 3mm to 15mm.

CS486 XL & CS3099 XL need a 240V single phase supply.

Compressed air supply required is 7 bars with a consumption of 5 liters per cycle.

CASSESE GENUINE CARTRIDGE WEDGESAVAILABLE IN 3, 5, 7, 10, 12 & 15mm

Antoine Cassese invented the first wedge in 1976. From the verybeginning these wedges were not glue coated, in order to avoid jamming andtechnical problems, in the underpinned, caused by glue accumulating inthe firing mechanism. In addition, this makes it possible 1) to lubricate thewedges so as to protect them against rust, 2) allow a better penetration intothe wood and 3) lubricate the internal firing mechanism of the underpinnedIndeed, each time you shoot a wedge you lubricate your machine, i.e. themore you work, the more you maintain your machine. That s the secret ofCassese underpinned longevity.

FEATURES OF ORIGINAL CASSESE CARTRIDGES WEDGES

. Shape MemoryCartridge wedges are made from a special steel alloy which gives shapememory properties to the wedge. This way, when it penetrates into themoulding, it spreads its wings which -because of shape memory- try thento come back to their initial position. This results in pulling very strongly the2 pieces of mouldings towards each other, so as to give a perfectly closedcomer. This is one of the reasons of Cassese worldwide-known excellentjoining!

• Power Strip™A Cassese patent. All cartridges wedges (except 5mm and smaller) areproduced with a horizontal corrugation in the middle that improvesconsiderably the resistance of the wedges and makes them join even hardermaterials easily.

• Colour Coded cartridgesEach size of wedge has a cartridge with a different colour in order torecognize them quickly inside or outside the underpinner.

. EconomicalEach cartridge contains 275 wedges. Thanks to the cartridge system, youhave no waste: all wedges are used up to the very last one.

. Comfort of useThanks to the cartridge system, you do not need to change any part nor putany adaptor in the underpinner when you change the size of wedges.

. 2 packaging availableAll sizes of wedges are available in boxes of 6 cartridges for customframers (containing 1650 wedges) or in boxes of 40 cartridges (containing11.000 wedges) for contract framers.

• Small sizes of wedgesIn addition to the 5 usual sizes (5, 7, 10, 12 & 15mm) Cassese introduced 1smaller sizes : 3mm (green cartridges) ideal for slips (fillets) assembly.

• Softwood and HardwoodAlways try first the softwood wedges, even on Hardwood mouldings. Youwill hence get an optimal result. If the wedge really cannot penetrate orcomes out of the back of the moulding, then try the hardwood wedges.

• Stainless steel wedgesOn request, cartridge wedges are also available in stainless steel (foroutdoor applications).

In 1986, Antoine Cassesereceived in the USA theAward of Recognitionfrom the PPFA(Professional PictureFramers Association) forhis invention of theunderpinner which hassignificantly contributedto the advancement of thePicture Framing Industry.



MASTERS™ WEDGES«AL» FOR ALFAMACCHINE & «UNI» FOR OTHER BRANDS

A few years after the invention of the cartridge wedges (patented), gluedwedges appeared on the market. Cassese decided then to make siliconecoated wedges, in order to make all customers benefit from the Cassesequality, even if they have an underpinner from another brand.

FEATURES OF MASTERS™ WEDGES

• 2 types«AL» for Alfamacchine/Minigraf underplnners (11mm wide)«UNI» for almost all other brands of underpinners (10.5 mm wide)

• 7 sizesAvailable in 5, 7, 10, 12 & 15mm for Softwood or Hardwood.3mm (ideal for fillets and slips) is also available on request.

• Shape MemoryMasters™ wedges are made from a special steel alloy whichgives shape memory properties to the wedge. This way, when itpenetrates into the moulding, it spreads its wings which -becauseof shape memory- try then to come back to their initial position.This results in pulling very strongly the 2 pieces of mouldingstowards each other, so as to give a perfectly closed corner. Thisis one of the reasons of Cassese worldwide-known excellentjoining!

• Silicon coatedWedges are not stuck together with glue or adhesive, since theaccumulation of their residue can create jamming in the firingmechanism.Cassese uses an exclusive silicone-based mixing which doesn'tleave residue and consequently avoids jamming. In addition itallows a much better penetration of the wedge into the wood.Indeed, the silicone spreads along the wedge, and thus helps it slideand insert much better into the moulding.

• Colour codedIn order to identify quickly the wedges inside or outside theunderpinners, silicone is coloured depending on the type andhardness of wedges:Grey silicone forAL SoftwoodBlack Silicone forAL HardwoodWhite Silicone for UNI SoftwoodRed Silicone for UNI Hardwood

• Patented spring-loaded rebate supports systemThese patented new designed rebate supports automatically adjust themselves tothe required height, under the rebate of the moulding being cut. As a result, theseare quicker to set, and safer to use than regular screw systems.

• Direct measuring scaleThe CS55M has a unique direct measuring scale, which is fast and accurate. Unlikeother measuring systems, there is no need to measure the width of the mouldingfirst. The measurement required is taken directly from the moulding in one step,instead of three.

• Easy to readThe Cassese measuring scale is printed in 4 different colours, making it easier tofollow and use.

• Double width foot pedalto make it easy for either left-footed or right-footed operators.

• Tool-less, front blade height adjustmentChanging the height of the blades between mouldings is safe and easy, with anergonomic handle.

• Quiet operationBeing foot operated, the CS55M requires neither compressed air nor electricity.

• No dustMoulding waste is solid, requiring no vacuum dust extraction system.

• Built-in waste chutemakes it clean and easy for waste collection and removal.

SAFETY FEATURES
