CNC drilling centres designed for all drilling, routing and grooving operations on wooden panels. Equipped with multiple vertical and horizontal spindles for efficient production.
The Morbidelli UX series is a family of CNC drilling centres engineered for high-precision, multi-operation machining of wooden panels and solid wood components. These machines simultaneously perform drilling, routing, and grooving operations through an integrated system of vertical and horizontal spindles, eliminating the need for secondary processing and reducing production cycle times. The UX series distinguishes itself through configurable spindle density and axis performance. The UX100 configuration operates 31+31 vertical spindles (6000 rpm) paired with 8 horizontal spindles in the X-axis and 4 in the Y-axis, while the UX200/UX200D models scale to 48+48 vertical spindles with 16 X-axis and 4 Y-axis horizontal spindles—enabling parallel drilling across panel widths up to 1300 mm. All models deliver rapid axis travel speeds of 120 m/min (X), 35 m/min (Y), and 30 m/min (Z), critical for minimizing non-cutting time. The integrated routing blade (125 Ø mm at 7500 rpm) handles edge and surface grooving without tool changes, while optional 9.5 kW electrospindles at 24,000 rpm support advanced profiles and finishing operations. The UX200D variant adds dual dowel insertion systems with variable step capability for edge-banding and joining applications. These machines are purpose-built for mid-to-large production facilities manufacturing kitchen cabinetry, modular furniture systems, interior architectural components, and flat-pack assembly products. Operators requiring batch volumes of 50+ units per day with consistent hole patterns, edge routing, and dowel joining will find the Morbidelli's parallel spindle architecture directly reduces labour and handling costs. The 3200 × 1300 mm working envelope and 100 kg panel capacity accommodate standard European panel formats (2800 × 1300 mm panels processed with edge margin) and engineered boards up to 80 mm thickness. Within its class, the UX series competes on spindle count density and integrated multi-axis capability; the jump from UX100 to UX200/UX200D offers a 55% increase in vertical drilling capacity and doubled horizontal spindle count in the X-axis, directly translating to 40–60% throughput increases for identical panel geometries. Integration of horizontal boring eliminates separate edge-boring machinery, reducing floor space and capital expenditure for facilities standardizing on panel-based assembly protocols.
