CENTATEQ N-600
CNC Machining Centers — Homag Group
High-performance CNC machining center with dual synchronized servo-drives and 14-fold tool changer for precision woodworking. Features advanced nesting optimization and flexible automation options for industrial furniture production.
The CENTATEQ N-600 is a professional CNC machining center purpose-built for high-precision woodworking applications including cabinet production, architectural millwork, and automated nesting workflows. It combines rigid construction with dual synchronized servo-drives in the X-direction to deliver consistent accuracy across working fields ranging from 3,100 mm to 4,300 mm in length and up to 2,250 mm in width, accommodating both standard sheet materials and custom panel formats.
The machine's technical architecture centers on dual CNC-controlled Z-axes paired with a 14-position tool changer, enabling rapid tool transitions without cycle interruption. Vector speeds of 130 m/min across X and Y axes provide competitive throughput for nested applications, while the dual servo-drive synchronization in the X-direction eliminates deflection and ensures edge-to-edge dimensional consistency—critical for cabinet joinery and panel assembly. The powerTouch2 operator interface integrates nesting optimization algorithms, reducing material waste and maximizing yield per sheet.
The CENTATEQ N-600 scales across multiple format options (5×10 ft, 5×12 ft, 7×10 ft, and 7×14 ft working areas) and supports optional automatic push-off systems for inline material handling, making it suitable for mid-sized to industrial production facilities processing 50+ pieces daily. Z-stroke capacity of 210 mm (without automation) or 60 mm (with automatic push-off) handles solid wood edges, frame routing, and shallow pocket operations common in face-frame and European cabinet construction.
Within its class, the dual-servo architecture and synchronized Z-axis design position this machine above single-drive competitors, reducing setup time and improving first-piece accuracy in high-mix production environments. The 14-tool capacity balances flexibility with cycle efficiency, particularly for shops requiring routing, drilling, boring, and edge-profiling operations without manual interventions.

Applications
cabinet making
medium workshopThe CENTATEQ N-600 automates face-frame routing, pocket boring for hinges/hardware, and edge-profiling operations on cabinet components at 130 m/min vector speed. Working fields up to 3,700 mm × 1,550 mm efficiently process pre-cut cabinet sides, tops, and shelves in batches of 20–100+ pieces per shift, with the 14-tool changer eliminating manual tool changes between routing and boring sequences. Dual Z-axes enable simultaneous drilling and profiling, reducing cycle time on complex multi-operation parts.
custom millwork
medium workshopArchitectural and interior millwork shops use the CENTATEQ N-600 for low-to-medium volume custom work on door frames, trim boards, and decorative panels. The synchronized dual servo-drives in the X-direction maintain tight tolerances (±0.5 mm typical) on edge-routed details and nested profiles, while the flexible Z-stroke of 210 mm accommodates variable material thickness and shallow relief carving. The powerTouch2 nesting interface optimizes layout for mixed-size components, reducing waste on expensive hardwood materials.
solid wood crafting
small workshopSmall to medium woodshops producing custom solid-wood furniture and one-off pieces benefit from the CENTATEQ N-600's 210 mm Z-stroke and dual servo precision on hand-selected boards and specialty lumber. The 14-tool capacity supports mixed operations—mortising, edge profiling, and decorative routing—without tool changes, while the dual synchronized X-drives eliminate deflection on edge-grain work and prevent tearout on figured wood. Ideal for artisan producers making 5–20 custom pieces monthly with tight tolerances.
panel nesting production
industrial workshopHigh-volume panel processing operations leverage the CENTATEQ N-600's nesting optimization and automatic push-off system for unattended operation on large sheets up to 4,300 mm × 2,250 mm. The dual CNC-controlled Z-axes enable drilling edge-band holes while simultaneously profiling perimeter routes, and the 14-position tool changer supports rapid job changes across multiple nested patterns. With vector speeds of 130 m/min and optional material handling automation, shops achieve 200+ finished panels daily with minimal operator supervision.
