The demands on the woodworking industry are constantly increasing: higher precision, shorter lead times, and simultaneously cost-effective investments. Modern CNC technologies now enable even small and medium-sized enterprises to automate processes that were previously reserved for industrial manufacturing.
Edge processing directly on the CNC machine
A key advancement is direct edge processing on the CNC machine. Instead of separate edgebanding machines, certain processing steps – such as precise milling and edge preparation – can be performed directly during CNC machining. This saves time, reduces reclamping operations, and increases dimensional accuracy.
Companies in the furniture and interior design industries particularly benefit from this, as carcass parts, bases and lids can be manufactured in a continuous work process.
Efficiency improvement for trades and SMEs
The combination of CNC machine and specialized software enables cost-effective production even for small batch sizes. Compact designs, modular units, and intelligent programming allow for the efficient digitization of traditional craft processes.
- Reduced setup and downtime
- High repeatability
- Clean edge quality without rework
- Flexible application options for individual parts and series
Modern CNC software as the key
High-performance CNC software is crucial for the economical use of modern machines. Programs like TPA CAD Professional enable the creation of customized machining strategies – from simple nesting programs to complex special machining operations.
The open structure of the software allows users to develop their own programs and tailor them precisely to their production requirements.
