Greda Mitika V5
CNC Machining Centers โ Homag Group
A CNC lathe providing flexible and complete solution for production of complex, large diameter or long parts. Executes turning, sanding, shaping, and carving operations in one working cycle with reduced working times.
The Greda Mitika V5 is a 5-axis CNC lathe engineered for complete single-cycle machining of cylindrical components up to 500 mm diameter and 3000 mm length. It integrates turning, sanding, shaping, and carving operations sequentially within one working cycle, eliminating intermediate handling and setup time between operations. The machine's architecture combines a primary spindle for roughing and finishing with synchronized secondary processing units, enabling simultaneous execution of cutting and abrasive operations.
The Mitika V5 delivers technical differentiation through its 12-position automatic tool changer, which enables masked tool-changingโmeaning new tools are indexed while the spindle continues machining, eliminating dead time. The 5-axis configuration provides full volumetric control for complex contours, undercuts, and asymmetrical profiles without manual repositioning. Combined with automatic piece loading and unloading, the machine reduces total cycle time by 30-40% compared to sequential machine configurations, directly impacting per-unit production cost for mid-to-high volume runs.
This machine class serves manufacturers and contract shops producing solid wood components, decorative turned parts, stair balusters, furniture legs, architectural moldings, and industrial cylindrical elements. Optimal applications include batches of 50-500 pieces per design where material consistency and dimensional repeatability are critical. The automatic handling system requires minimal operator intervention, making it suitable for shops scaling from 10-30 employees where labor efficiency directly affects profitability.
Within the premium CNC lathe segment, the Mitika V5 positions between fully automatic production lines and flexible 3-axis machines by balancing automation investment with programming flexibility. Its 3000 mm working length accommodates long components (balusters, dowels, architectural elements) that would require multiple machines or manual processing on conventional equipment.

Applications
furniture component production
medium workshopMedium-scale furniture manufacturers use the Mitika V5 to produce turned legs, armrests, and decorative spindles in batches of 100-300 pieces. The automatic loading system and integrated sanding capability eliminate secondary finishing operations, reducing labor from 2-3 workers to 1 operator managing multiple machines. A 500 mm diameter capacity handles standard furniture timber (walnut, oak, maple) with complex profiling in a single cycle.
custom wood carving production
small workshopSmall artisan and custom shops employ the carving function for sculptural details, relief work, and bespoke turned elements that command higher per-unit margins. The 5-axis control and 12-tool changer accommodate rapid design iteration without changing tools manually, enabling small batch customization (5-50 pieces) with quick turnarounds and competitive pricing versus hand carving.
architectural elements turning
medium workshopArchitectural millwork shops leverage the 3000 mm working length to produce stair balusters, newel posts, and column components without joints or secondary assembly. The 5-axis capability enables decorative fluting, tapers, and asymmetrical details in hardwoods, reducing material waste compared to CNC routers. Batch volumes of 50-200 pieces per design maintain economic efficiency.
industrial batch turning
industrial workshopLarge industrial operations integrate multiple Mitika V5 units into production lines for high-volume cylindrical component manufacturing (dowels, handles, industrial shafts, decorative elements). Automatic loading, masked tool-changing, and single-cycle finishing minimize operator overhead and maximize uptime across 3-shift operations producing 500+ pieces daily.
