Area

The Area is a 5-axis CNC machining centre built on a mobile bridge structure, engineered for high-precision processing of large solid wood construction elements that exceed the capacity of conventional panel processors. The machine's primary function is routing, drilling, and edgebanding operations on timber components up to 50 metres in length and 4.5 metres wide, making it suited for architectural timber, glulam beams, CLT panels, and large-scale solid wood blanks. Key technical capabilities include a 30 kW electrospindle for routing operations, accommodation of saw blades up to 1020 mm diameter for primary milling, and a 12-position tool changer enabling efficient multi-operation workflows without manual tool changes. The 5-axis kinematics allow complex angular cuts, chamfering, and compound joinery on edge and face surfaces, while the modular composition permits customization for specific production requirements. The mobile bridge design provides access to both sides of the workpiece and allows flexible positioning within the workspace. The Area is purpose-built for industrial and large medium-sized woodworking operations processing solid wood rather than sheet materials. It targets structural timber manufacturers, architectural millwork shops, and heavy timber construction element producers that handle pieces beyond standard 3200 mm panel dimensions. This machine class requires dedicated facility infrastructure, skilled programming and operation, and typically serves production volumes of 20–100+ complex pieces monthly rather than high-speed serial production. Within its category, the Area differentiates through maximum workpiece length capacity (50 m) and width (4.5 m), positioning it above compact 5-axis centres designed for cabinetry or window components, while its electrospindle power and modular tooling suit precision joinery and detail work that cross-cuts through traditional sawing-only or gang-routing approaches.
