Nesting software arranges the required quantities of individual parts to be cut from flat stock, such as wood sheets. Using complex algorithms, the software works out the best way to arrange the parts to be cut so that there is minimum wastage of material and the tool cutting path is the most efficient. This means we can save you money on material costs and machine running time.

We can cut from sheets up to 10’ x 5’, giving us greater flexibility when it comes to nesting your parts. All processing tools can reach all areas of the cutting bed. A maximum cutting field height of 100mm means we can produce 3D relief cuts and work with a wide range of materials in a variety of thicknesses.

We can program complex cutting using up to 8 different tools all in the same run without having to stop and manually change the tooling. As a result, we can produce complex items quickly and efficiently, saving you money on machine running time.

Our machine can cut at a speed of up to 96m/ min, which makes cutting simple shapes incredibly quick and easy, and more complex shapes cut in a fraction of the time. Shorter machine running times mean lower costs and more efficient production, which means shorter turnaround times for you.

Sheets for cutting are held in place by vacuum. The vacuum reduces the need for setting up clamps, which makes the process faster. The bed can be programmed to only create vacuum suction in the areas of the bed that are being used, keeping our energy costs down. We have inbuilt extraction, so the sawdust generated during cutting is immediately removed, meaning we can keep our cuts clean.

With a 4.5 axis machine, the directions for cutting are extremely flexible. In practical terms, this means we can create angled cuts in most directions, all in one program and machine run.

Our vertical CNC machine has spaces for up to 8 vertical high-speed drilling spindles, and a further 6 horizontal drills (4 in the X-direction, 2 in the Y-direction). This means that we can drill holes into the front face and all four sides within one machine run, making the process extremely efficient.

The machine also has a grooving saw in the X-direction, which gives us the option to quickly and easily cut a straight groove in the front face of the panel.

We have also invested in the addition of a router motor, which allows us to route out curves and small areas on the front face of the panel.

From a minimum workpiece size of 200mm x 70mm x 12mm, most pieces can be machined.

With drilling speeds of 50metres per minute in the X-Y direction, this machine makes quick work of boring holes in the sides of a cut panel.

Panels are held in place with a clamp at the bottom during machining. This means there is no loss of suction and hence no risk of movement during the process.
