Throughfeed Drilling Machine DRILLTEQ C-500
CNC Machining Centers โ Homag Group
The DRILLTEQ C-500 is a throughfeed drilling machine designed for efficient and precise drilling operations on wooden workpieces. It offers flexible processing capabilities with adjustable workpiece dimensions.
The DRILLTEQ C-500 is a CNC-controlled throughfeed drilling machine purpose-built for automated, high-precision hole production on wooden workpieces in industrial woodworking environments. As a throughfeed system, it enables continuous processing of multiple components in sequence, eliminating manual repositioning and maximizing throughput for production runs requiring consistent hole placement across large batch volumes.
The machine accommodates workpieces ranging from 200 to 3000 mm in length and 70 to 1250 mm in width, with thickness capacity from 12 to 60 mm, making it suitable for processing everything from thin veneered panels to solid wood blanks and engineered boards. This dimensional flexibility allows shops to consolidate drilling operations across diverse product linesโfrom delicate door frames to heavy solid wood componentsโwithout requiring multiple machines. The CNC architecture ensures repeatable accuracy and enables rapid tool positioning, critical for applications demanding tight hole tolerances for hardware insertion, dowel joinery, or shelf pin arrays.
The DRILLTEQ C-500 targets medium to large woodworking facilities with production volumes exceeding manual or semi-automatic methods. It serves cabinet makers, window and door manufacturers, furniture producers, and timber construction specialists who require deterministic cycle times, minimal setup between jobs, and the ability to process mixed workpiece geometries on a single platform. The throughfeed design is particularly valuable for operations processing multiple similar components in succession, such as panel drilling for case goods or component boring for knock-down furniture systems.

Applications
furniture production
industrial workshopFurniture manufacturers leverage the C-500 for high-volume boring of dowel holes, connector plate pockets, and hardware holes in table bases, chair frames, case goods, and panel assemblies. The machine's ability to process workpieces from 12 to 60 mm thick accommodates solid wood components, veneered panels, and laminated blanks common in furniture assembly. Throughfeed processing allows production runs of 100+ identical parts with zero manual repositioning, reducing labor costs and human error in joinery preparation.
window door production
industrial workshopWindow and door manufacturers use the DRILLTEQ C-500 to bore hinge holes, lock cylinders, and ventilation apertures in stile-and-rail frames and panel inserts. The machine's 70 mm minimum width and adjustable thickness range accommodate both narrow stiles and wide door blanks up to 3000 mm long. CNC repeatability ensures hinge cup holes align precisely across large production batches, essential for hardware fit and door operation consistency.
panel processing
medium workshopPanel processing operations use the C-500 for drilling standardized hole arrays in MDF, plywood, and solid wood panels destined for shelving systems, modular furniture, and cabinetry blanks. The machine's throughfeed capability allows continuous processing of panels measuring up to 1250 ร 3000 mm, with precision positioning for pin holes, dowel holes, and mounting apertures. Automated processing of panel arrays reduces setup time between jobs and ensures dimensional accuracy across large inventories of drilled blanks ready for assembly.
cabinet making
medium workshopCabinet shops use the DRILLTEQ C-500 to drill shelf pin holes, hardware mounting holes, and hinge cup holes in side panels, shelves, and doors. The machine's 200โ3000 mm length capacity and width range of 70โ1250 mm accommodates cabinet components from small adjustable shelves to full-height panels, while the throughfeed operation enables efficient processing of dozens of identical or near-identical parts per day. Precision hole placement ensures shelf pins and hardware mount flush and square, critical for assembled cabinet quality.
