What is a Pod and Rail CNC working Center?

More and more woodworking and interior design professionals are discovering the powerful advantages of this type of machining center.
But what makes these machines so interesting? And for which applications are they really indispensable?

What is a console CNC?

This type of CNC machine is equipped with transverse consoles, each offering several vacuum connection positions.
The consoles have a number of adjustable vacuum positions, on which you can easily place suction cups or vacuum grippers. You can position the consoles and suction pads entirely to your needs, enabling you to machine a wide variety of materials effortlessly - from panels to solid wood planks or beams.

For which applications is the NC console machining center best suited?

  • Furniture and interior production:
    From kitchen cabinets to wall units, to bespoke interiors, your work benefits from a professional finish and consistent quality.
  • Windows and doors:
    Whether for one-off pieces or mass-produced machining and drilling of window and door profiles, CNC is indispensable.
