Router Multilathe
CNC machining centre with multiple work stations for manufacturing four work-pieces simultaneously.
The SCM Router Multilathe is a four-station CNC machining centre engineered for high-throughput simultaneous processing of multiple solid wood workpieces. Unlike single-spindle routers, this machine operates four independent electrospindle units in parallel, enabling continuous production cycles where one station loads while others machine—effectively multiplying throughput without multiplying cycle time. The machine's technical architecture centres on four 13 kW electrospindles capable of 30,000 rpm, each spaced 272 mm apart on the machining head, paired with a 112-position tool changer that minimizes changeover downtime. Workpiece capacity ranges from 300 mm to 1,500 mm in length, accommodating everything from small solid wood components to medium-length architectural elements. This configuration allows for complex routing, mortising, profiling, and drilling operations across all four stations without tool repositioning between workpieces. The Router Multilathe is purpose-built for medium to industrial woodworking facilities processing solid wood elements at production volumes between 100–500 pieces per shift. It suits manufacturers of cabinet components, window and door frames, furniture blanks, and custom millwork elements where both precision and speed are commercial requirements. The four-station design is particularly valuable where labour costs justify equipment investment but flexibility across product variants remains essential. In its class, the Router Multilathe bridges the gap between universal single-spindle routers and fully automated production lines. Its parallel-station architecture and substantial tool storage deliver industrial throughput while maintaining the programming flexibility needed for job-shop and semi-continuous production runs typical of European solid wood manufacturers.
