Types of CNC units for woodworking

There are various CNC units that differ in their design, performance and function depending on the type of machining required. We explain the most important categories in the following gallery:

Guide to decision-making: How to find the right CNC unit for your project

Choosing the right CNC unit is crucial to the success of your CNC machining project. To find the optimal CNC unit for your project, there are several things to consider; from the requirements of your project to the technical specifications of your machine. We explain the most important factors below.

  • type of processing: what process do you need the unit for (e.g. milling, drilling, sawing, planing, sanding, cutting, chiseling, brushing)?
  • material: what material do you want to process (e.g. hardwood, softwood, plastic)?
  • tool: what kind of tools with which specifications would you like to use on the unit? (e.g. drill bit shank diameter 8 mm, milling cutter Ø16 mm, saw blade pitch circle Ø30)
  • your CNC machine: which connection to your CNC machine is required (e.g. HSK F63, SK 30), do you have an automatic tool changer?
  • performance: what power, speed and transmission ratio are required?
  • budget: how much money do you want to invest in the unit?
Do you have any questions?

We are happy to assist you!

Because an educated decision based on your requirements will help maximize the efficiency, precision and profitability of your CNC machining operations.

Use of CNC units for woodworking

CNC units for wood processing are used in countless applications – with particularly precise and efficient results.

  • furniture production: production of all types of furniture: e.g. finger joints on beds, pockets for Lamello connectors on shelves (Clamex or Cabineo), drilling of row holes for shelves on cupboards
  • kitchen manufacturing: cutting countertops to size, milling of recesses to join panels, sanding of chamfers
  • staircase construction: production of stair stringers and steps, banisters, handrails, machining of square holes for stakes
  • window machining: milling of frame profiles, drilling holes for fittings, mortising slots for hinge hooks, surface finishing
  • door manufacturing: milling of recesses for lock cases and face labels, milling decorative grooves and engraving, notching of inner corners on light cut-outs, sanding of inner door plates
  • interior fittings: production of wall cladding, ceiling cladding and flooring, including processing of composite materials
  • solid wood processing: formatting boards or beams including tenons, slots and bevels; brushing and moulding of surfaces

Quick-change systems revolutionize woodworking

Efficiency and productivity are decisive factors in modern woodworking. In addition to ever-increasing cutting speeds and accuracy requirements, the reduction of set-up and machine downtimes is key to machining production.

This is exactly where modular quick-change systems such as BENZ Solidfix® come in.

The core principle and key advantage of modular tool changing systems is that the tool adapters can be preset outside the machine during the machining process and are ready for use. The tool change itself can be realized in less than 20 seconds.

7 benefits of modular quick-change systems

  • minimum set-up times: significantly shorter set-up times compared to conventional systems
  • maximum productivity: more time for the actual machining, which leads to an increase in productivity
  • flexible adaptation: quick adaptation to different tools and machining processes
  • precise results: high repeat accuracy for precise machining results
  • stability and operating safety: robust design with integrated fail-safe device
  • durability: long service life thanks to simple maintenance and high-quality materials
  • minimized investment: reduction of purchasing additional units to a minimum

Case studies

Precise and dust-free processing on conventional CNC machine

Students developed a smart desk organizer made of different materials. The felt inserts required for this were made using a special cutting unit on the CNC machining center.
