BEAMTEQ B-560
Timber Construction โ Homag Group
A 5-axis carpentry machine for timber construction with flexible sawing, drilling, and miter processing capabilities. Features dual main spindles and automated tool changing for complex timber component manufacturing.
The BEAMTEQ B-560 is a 5-axis CNC carpentry machine purpose-built for timber-frame construction and large-section component processing. It delivers simultaneous multi-axis machining for complex architectural timber work, combining sawing, drilling, and angled miter operations in a single setup, eliminating repositioning and manual intervention.
The machine's core differentiator is its dual 20 kW main spindles paired with the FLEX5 processing unit, which rotates through 360 degrees and tilts across a full 90-degree swivel range. This enables true 5-axis capability for compound angled cuts, roof rafter assembly cuts, and complex notching operations on solid timber sections up to 200 ร 455 mm. The 12-slot automatic tool changer minimizes changeover time, while the extended working length of 16.5 m (with operator intervention points) accommodates full-length structural timbers typical in post-and-beam and timber-frame construction.
The B-560 is engineered for medium to industrial carpentry operations processing engineered timber components, architectural beams, glulam elements, and prefabricated timber-frame assemblies. It targets workshops producing 50+ components weekly at production volumes where semi-automated processing justifies investment but where design variability demands machine flexibility. Primary materials include solid softwood and hardwood structural sections, glued-laminated beams, and cross-laminated timber (CLT) edge processing.
Within the timber construction machinery class, the B-560 bridges gap-frame and full-format gantry machines by concentrating on the high-complexity, mid-volume processing segment. Its dual-spindle architecture and rotating FLEX5 unit provide capabilities typically found in larger portal systems but within a footprint suitable for established regional carpentry operations.

Applications
timber frame assembly production
industrial workshopProduces pre-cut timber-frame components including posts, beams, rafters, and tie members with compound joinery cuts and assembly-ready miter angles. The 5-axis FLEX5 unit handles multiple angle requirements in single setupsโnotches at varying angles, bird's-mouth cuts on rafters, and mortise/tenon preparationโon timbers up to 200 ร 455 mm cross-section, reducing manual finishing and assembly time.
clt edge processing
industrial workshopProcesses cross-laminated timber panels and panel bundles for edge profile machining, connection hole drilling, and joint preparation at angles required for CLT assembly systems. High spindle power and multi-tool setup allow rapid edge preparation on panels within the machine's 200 ร 455 mm depth envelope, supporting high-throughput prefabrication workflows.
architectural timber components
medium workshopFabricates custom architectural timber elements such as decorative exposed beams, curved-beam assemblies, and complex junction components for heritage restoration and contemporary timber-frame designs. The FLEX5 unit's full 360-degree rotation and 90-degree tilt enable non-orthogonal cuts and sculptural edge profiling impossible on conventional 3-axis equipment.
glulam beam processing
medium workshopMachines glued-laminated beams for architectural and structural applications, including end cuts at complex angles, camber-aligned drilling for bearing plates, and notching for connection plates. The dual 20 kW spindles allow simultaneous drilling and milling operations on beams up to 16.5 m in length, maintaining tight tolerances required for load-bearing structural work.
