CNC routers have been around for many years, and a large number of companies are now reliant on them for the precision, accuracy and repeatability they bring to finished products. The ability to produce ‘just one’ of something is entirely feasible and an economic proposition given the right software, the necessary tools and the right machine.
This essential trio is what the Weinig Group offer – a complete consultative package designed to deliver the perfect solution for your individual application, whether in solid wood, panel products or even composite man-made materials.
The EPICON range of console routers is typically the perfect solution for solid wood component production. As a genuine 5 axis machine with robust construction, it offers superb levels of stability and vibration absorption which are essential to achieve a perfect surface finish. Lightweight, low cost alternatives do not have these characteristics, resulting in poor finishes and the need for additional offline work, which is not the result you want from a CNC router. The depth of Weinig experience is evident in the EPICON range which is appreciated and valued by discerning buyers and understood by first time adopters.
The massive gantry design is built to withstand high cutting forces and speeds. Running on hardened and ground prismatic guides with helical racks on both sides of the gantry. It can move at best in class speeds in the X-axis while still delivering flawless finishes. A wide variety of flexible clamping options further extend the machines versatility and are an important discussion point.
Too often CNC’s are sold without this ‘full package’, so Weinig take care to ensure you know how to hold your product during processing – vacuum, horizontal clamps, vertical clamps and special clamps or even jig construction is all covered by Weinig.
The core of the EPICON design is the 18.5 kW 5 axis PRO TORQUE milling head. This powerful and compact machining head can operate up to 24,000 rpm and is extremely smooth in operation. Featuring ceramic bearings, liquid cooling and PRO TORQUE technology, this innovative system delivers high torque through software-controlled mechanical locking in the A and C axes – making it one of the most rigid and robust solutions available.
Of course, having the right machine is only one part of the equation. Equally important is the software, which is just as critical for a happy long term relationship with this machine and this is where Holz-Her truly excels with its Campus suite. NC HOPS provides straightforward programming of even of the most complex parts with easy to use macros, ACADEMY enables direct import of DXF drawings and MT MANAGER looks after all your tool data. Couple all this with simulation modules and you have an integrated suite that remains one of the easiest to use in the industry – and that statement comes from our customers. Furthermore you are not held to ransom with annual licence fees.
The decades long experience of Holz-Her in the panel sector is evident in the Dynestic range of flat bed CNC routers. From the classic stand alone Dynestic 7505 right through to the fully automatic 5 axis nesting cell with automatic loading, you have the full spectrum to choose from. All are high quality solutions underpinned by the same ethos of – the right solution for industrial customers with no compromise on quality.
New to the Holz-Her range is the Panel Center N 1228 offering the perfect price/performance ratio for the small business owner. Highly adaptable and flexible this machine is suited to all types of panel processing across MDF, chipboard, hardboard, plastics or composites. Its clever modular design means that the machine can be upgraded from a classic standalone version to a full nesting cell quickly and easily at any stage in the future.
