NC Milling / Slotting Machine

Centauro ALFA

Centauro ALFA NC Machining Centre For Joinery Components & Doors

A versatile and flexible NC controlled machining centre suitable for a variety of machining operations including hinge recessing, lock slots, handle holes, key slots and euro grooves etc. Programming is extremely simple thanks to the colour graphic touch screen controller using pre-installed electronic macros. As standard the machine can be equipped with one milling head that automatically moves for either vertical or horizontal machining. It also has interpolation of the axis. Optional additional machining operations include producing a square corner hinge plate recess or lock face recess by means of the additional milling unit. The operator simply selects in the program if they want a radius or square corner and the machine does the rest. In addition the same milling head can be used to make the small pilot hole for hinge screws etc. There is also the possibility to produce a square end tenon, round end tenon or dovetail / dovetail slot when the special front table is fitted. Lastly on request the machine can be configured to import ISO files from external design software (e.g ARTCAM Express) to enable detailed engraving of items such as name plates etc.
