ARLINGTON, Texas – CNC machining and edgebanding are the two major thrusts of the Running Machine Program that will take place throughout both days of Wood Pro Expo Texas.

Four machinery companies exhibiting at the show will participate in the free educational demonstrations at the Arlington Convention Center, March 12-13. They include CNC Factory, Felder Group America, Maze Machinery and SNX Technologies.

“The Running Machine Program has quickly become a popular feature of the regional Wood Pro Expo events,” said Laurel Didier, publisher of Closet & Organized Storage, a publication of Woodworking Network, organizer of the show. “This is an opportunity for woodworkers to see specially prepared presentations illustrative of industry-best technologies and to get immediate answers to their questions.”

Here’s a quick look at what’s on tap for the Running Machine Program.

CNC Factory, booth #101, will demonstrate the Python XPR Driverless CNC machining center for nesting parts. One push of the Python’s touchscreen facilitates loading and unloading of parts, material alignment, and spoil board cleaning. The Running Machine Progrm demonstrations, featuring KCD Software, will also highlight hands-free robotic labeling and marking of components for secondary production such as edgebanding or doweling.
