The MINIGRAF 44 is a high quality pneumatic underpinner for bespoke framers specially designed for joining mouldings up to 120mm wide and up to 80mm tall.

Comes built onto a tilting stand. The two-stage foot switch first operates the moulding rebate clamp. Further pressure brings down the top pressure pad and locks the wedge insertion mechanism wherever it is placed by moving the handle - the overall travel range is between two adjustable stops.

With the moulding and wedge insertion mechanism locked in place, the trigger switch on the handle lets you insert one or more wedges at each position.

A unique feature of the 44 is the pneumatic balancing of the wedge insertion mechanism, to make it easy to use the machine tilted (with the optional table extensions).

Operation: Air
Rebate clamp - horizontal

The MP is an advanced underpinner from Alfamacchine, the long established Italian manufacturer of quality framing equipment.

The special programmable software allows the operator, for each moulding in your range, to record:
• Position of wedge, up to 9 positions
• Number of wedges inserted in each position
• Speed of wedge insertion
• Size of wedge required
So, when the operator starts with a fresh moulding, they just key in the number, or read a barcode, and the machine automatically makes itself ready. The operator simply has to load the size of wedge indicated (changing the wedge block if necessary) and adjust the top pressure and rebate clamp positions.

Minigraf MP comes complete on stand and with filter / lube / regulator unit.
The optional double top pressure head helps secure wider and more complex moulding profiles.
The MP offers consistent join quality combined with very speedy set-up and operation, all at a very competitive price.
Uses PTM wedges. Needs air and electric supply.


Maximum moulding width: 145mm
Wedge positions: 10 p'n
Operation: Air / PC
Rebate clamp - horizontal
Twin top clamp
Change 'block' for different wedges
Best for: Contract / Volume
Stand: Tilting

Moulding support wings for all Alfa underpinners excluding Alfa 1M & 1M Super.

For Minigraf users - the 'Sprung Claw' rebate clamp pusher. One arm is pivoted and sprung giving slight movement - enough to allow the moulding pieces to come smoothly together for even better joins.

On the pneumatic Minigraf 4, the moulding is located in back fences fixed to the table of the machine. The whole wedge magazine insertion mechanism is located on the underside, and moves by air operation, between hand-adjustable stops. Twin draw-down air cylinders make the Minigraf 4 very strong and twist resistant. It's ideal for harder wood. Suitable for bespoke and medium volume framers.

With the moulding in place, up to three wedge insertion positions can be quickly set.
Light pressure on the foot switch causes the top pressure pad (with magnetic face to carry circular or L-shaped steel blocks with hard felt pads) and rebate clamp to operate. Further pressure inserts the wedge. A finger applied to the switch arm causes the wedge feed mechanism to slide forward under the moulding, to the other pre-set positions.

Minigraf 4 takes mouldings up to 125mm wide and 80mm tall.

Supplied by LION complete with adjustable tilting moulding fences and sprung rebate clamp pusher.


Maximum moulding width: 125mm
Wedge positions: 3 positions
