SCM says its Morbidelli X-series is the first CNC router to offer real dynamic vacuum zone nesting that automatically activates and follows the tool path. Other industry-firsts include low clearance horizontal drills, single-phase panel-loading, up to 30 vacuum zones, custom flow direction, and a fast tool changer.

Available from C.R. Onsrud, the C-Series is a twin-table, fixed-bridge, industrial duty 3-axis CNC router that maximizes shop space by having two tables side-by-side. The two tables can be run, loaded, and offloaded independently without interrupting the adjacent table’s cutting cycle. This platform can also operate in “full-table” mode where the two tables are electronically locked together for the occasional large part which needs to span across both tables.

Available from Stiles Machinery, the Homag EdgeTeq S-380 offers automation on all stations that allow for production to take place 8-12 hours a day. It also features dust flow control tooling for a clean operation and is customizable with EVA, PUR, airTec and grooving capabilities.

The Pinske Edge’s award-winning Edge Butler, is designed to make edgebanding faster and easier. Create less downtime switching between band colors by hanging all the colors needed for that day on the cart, then wheel the cart to the edgebander and start banding; no more walking back and forth to grab the next band color, the company says. The stand is fully adjustable to accommodate various heights, and the butlers are different sizes to accommodate each band’s width and thickness.

Available from Safety Speed Mfg., vertical panel saws provide a safe and fast way for sizing panels by minimizing blade exposure to the operator and by leveraging gravity. Whether cutting 1 hour a day, or 8+ hours, Safety Speed says its full line of vertical panel saws can provide the solution.

With the VS storage and retrieval system, Schelling says areas from 13.1 to 65.6 ft (4 to 20 m) wide and up to 328 ft (100 m) long or more can be used completely, with stacks up to 78.8 in (2,000 mm) high. Storing, retrieving, repositioning, and dispatching employ a trolley that operates quickly, precisely, and economically by a traveling beam and bridge above the board stacks. Board stacks can be homogenous or mixed to accommodate large batch or small job production requirements.

Available from Stiles Machinery, MMR Office logs all production data, including the number of workpieces produced, the run time of the machine, and more. Users can evaluate this data centrally in the office at a later time, allowing them to identify and quantify any potential optimizations. In addition, MMR allows machine times and statuses to be recorded with up to 2 years of historical machine data and display standardized KPIs (key performance indicators) to help management and production teams identify bottlenecks and improve production efficiencies.

IMA Schelling says the Schelling s45 offers the versatility of a sliding table saw with the accuracy of a horizontal beam saw. The saw cuts edges at any angle between 0 and 46 degrees with a programmed, automatic tilting saw carriage. It combines infinite precision grooving with the cut to size process or kerf entire panels, the company adds.

Available from Stiles Machinery, the Homag CENTATEQ T-300 Series is available in twin 10’x5’ and 6’x5’ configurations, 3, 4, and 5-axis main spindle configurations, and with twin 14-position automatic carousel tool changers. Twin 18 spindle drill blocks include vertical, horizontal and grooving capabilities. An integrated proximity scanner for intelligent, dynamic and safe operation is standard.

Available from Akins Machinery, the Gannomat Express S2 can drill and insert two hinges in under 5 seconds. By drilling and inserting from underneath, the Express leaves the face of the door free from scratches, the company adds. Features include: automatic feeding and inserting of hinges by the magazine and inserting die; standard 4-spindle drill head with high-speed spindle chucks; and dual tilt-stop rails at each head for more hinge setbacks.
