Frame Construction


Frame Construction

  • Frames are entirely or partially cut on precision state-of-the-art CNC (Computerized Numerically Controlled) Routers

  • Frames are cut in a just in time system that minimizes cost and obsolete parts. This ensures the latest frame design is always being cut and built.

  • With these machines, the engineered panel is loaded and all parts come off as a kit ready to build one of many frame styles.

  • This system of manufacturing will cut the first frame and the last frame exactly alike.

  • The Essentials line of Frames have critical parts cut on CNC routers combined with other parts made from mixed hardwoods and select lumber using traditional wood working equipment.

  • Each frame design is done with 3-dimensional drafting software to insure accuracy and integrity.

  • This software tool allows us to design and see the frame several different ways and angles before the 1st piece of wood is ever cut.

  • This eliminates structural mistakes that may be found in the field.

  • This Software also generates bills of materials; detailed drawings and frame specs that are available thru our computer network system. This helps the plant build each frame to the proper specification.

  • All Routered Frames are designed to fit together like a puzzle by using mortise and tenon joints that provide extra strength and rigidity.

  • These design features lock the frame parts together to help form a unitized skeleton.

  • Every part has a specific location and in most cases, the frame can only be built one way thus eliminating human error.

Best Materials

  • All Klaussner frames are constructed with select lumber and Engineered Panels that are made with wood that has been kiln dried and laminated. These high density panels are tested for strength and staple/tack strip holding power.

  • 8.5 gauge tempered steel springs that are attached to the frame with spring-clips and connected together with two 16 gauge coated flex-cords to provide seating stability and uniformity.

  • All spring-clips are tempered steel, insulated to prevent noise and are driven into location using computer-controlled equipment to insure proper placement.

  • We use barbed T-nuts that are driven and crimped into place for superior holding power.

  • Arm cardboard is .050 single ply and .070 mil. Chipboard. The .070 is used where we have severe bends this thickness and composition eliminates popping.
