Tekcel CNC has selected an industry standard, Italian made multibore spindle with a ten+ year proven track record, to install on our woodworking machines. The multibore spindle is an essential component in Nested Based Manufacturing. 9 position multibore drills are ideal for fast and precise drilling of holes for cabinet hinges and shelf dowels.

Tekcel CNC Routers are all equipped with ballscrew drive systems on all axes, ensuring 0 backlash, repeatability and long life. Driving the ballscrew are brushless AC Servo motors – precise, powerful and maintenance free. A Dual Drive gantry on the X axes allows meticulous squaring of our bespoke Tekcel CNC routing machine. Linear rail and linear guideway bearings ensure smooth, precise motion on all axes. These components combine to enable Tekcel routers to produce precision parts year in and year out.

The Tool Length Sensor is standard on all new Tekcel CNC Routing machines. It is located on the front right hand corner of the machine tabletop. This wireless tool length sensor sets the length of the tool bit when a tool is placed in the spindle. The tool length sensor provides easy calibration of tool height offset. This option can be retrofitted to some past models of Tekcel CNC routers.

Tekcel CNC Routers are fitted with automatic pop up tool racks as standard. Depending on the width of the machine, the tool racks can hold 10, 12, 16 or 18 toolholders with tools. The tool rack manager in the machine controller allows you to specify up to 100 tools and allows you to allocate any of these tools to a specific seat in the tool rack. The operator can easily configure the machine for the job at hand using the tool rack manager settings. Complex jobs can be completed by the machine without the need of human intervention, promoting a safe working environment allowing the operator to attend to additional tasks. This option can be retrofitted to some older models of Tekcel machines.

A Vacuum Dust Foot is a standard component on all new Tekcel Routers. The dust foot is fitted to the Z Axis of the machine and encloses the tool during operation. The dust foot includes a metal tube guideway to attach the vacuum extraction hose to ensuring a safe, clean work area. The base of the dust foot is fitted with an UHMWPE skid plate to avoid scratching the material that is being cut.

Standard on Tekcel CNC Routing machines, all ballnuts and bearing blocks on the machine are connected to remote lubrication points so that components requiring lubrication can be accessed easily with removing machine covers. This greatly simplifies the regular maintenance of the machine.

The Gen III Controller with Graphical User Interface is the brain of Tekcel CNC Router. A massive amount of technology supporting the smooth operation of your bespoke CNC router is at the touch of your fingertips. The intuitive layout guides the operator through the job setup, machine setup, and running of the job. A novice can feel comfortable running the machine very quickly, and a seasoned expert will have all the power at their fingertips. The Gen III controller with Touch Screen Graphical User Interface can be retrofitted to all Tekcel machines.

Our Tekcel CNC Routing machines come standard with a vacuum hold down tabletop which sits on precision aluminium extruded slats equipped with T-Slot channels. The vacuum table top allows material to be quickly loaded and secured to the table top with the suction of the vacuum pump. Upon completion of the job, the material is easily unloaded when the vacuum pump is turned off. The operator is able to achieve targeted vacuum hold down by opening or closing valves in the manifold to suit the job at hand.

Tekcel CNC provides a sheet loading and aligning solution. Originally designed for Tekcel Nested Based Manufacturing machines, this technology is widely accepted by many companies requiring the automated, accurate placement of heavy sheet material onto the machine without the aid of human intervention. The machine operator selects the fully automated Tekcel gantry mounted, sheet loader to acquire a sheet of material from a scissor lift at the front of the machine. Using suction pods, the sheet loader pulls the sheet material onto the table and accurately positions it against the pop up pins, squaring the material for processing. This option is available to retrofit to Tekcel Enduro CNC Routers.

Tekcel CNC provides a scraper arm material offloading system. Originally designed as a component of Tekcel’s Nested Based Manufacturing System, the machine controller automatically activates the scraper arm to pull the finished job from the front of the machine onto an offload table located at the back of the machine. The machine operator is able to pick and sort these offloaded parts while the Tekcel CNC Router is processing the next sheet, saving you time and money.

Tekcel CNC has selected an industry standard scissor lift to install with our routing machines. The scissor lift is located at the front of the machine and electrically integrated with the Tekcel CNC router. The scissor lift was original designed as a component of our Tekcel CNC Nested Based Manufacturing system but has become widely accepted by many companies needing to automate the loading of heavy material to their bespoke Tekcel CNC Routing machines. This option can be added to any Tekcel CNC router but may require manual operation rather that fully integrated operation with some models.

Tekcel CNC Routing machines can be fitted with sheet registration pop up pins. Three pop up pins are located on the right hand side of the machine and two at the front of the machine. The pneumatically operated pins are raised and lowered through the operator Touch Screen Interface. A safety feature built into the machine controller automatically lowers the pins before cutting can commence. This option can only be retrofitted to some Enduro and Verso machine models.

Tekcel can provide one or two 7.5 kW Side Channel Blowers with a Tekcel CNC Router. These vacuum hold down pumps work in conjunction with our standard vacuum hold down tabletop, manifold and valve system. Vacuum hold down pumps are electrically wired into the Tekcel CNC machine to automatically start and stop with each job. Our Teckel technical sales representatives can advise which system is best for your application

A Tekcel Dust Extractor with its high suction pressure, micro pore filter and high volume flow rate ensures a clean, safe work environment. An articulated swing arm avoids problems with collapsing, clogging, static build-up and wear of plastic hose. A 550 gsm calendared micro pore filter, filters fine dust particles for a clean, healthy working environment. A metal drum on the base of the Tekcel Dust Extractor collects swarf, dust and debris and requires routine emptying. A Tekcel Dust Extractor can be retrofitted to many existing Tekcel Routers.

The Tekcel Laser Pointer allows you to quickly set an origin while cutting a job from scrap material. Coupled with plot file preview, the operator is able to preview the job to verify it will be cut within the bounds of the edge of the scrap material. Eliminating waste and improving productivity.

ProfileLab 2-D Software has been offered as standard with Tekcel CNC routing machines for more than 20 years. ProfileLab is produced and developed by CADlink Corporation in Canada. Our longstanding relationship with CADlink has led to the development of features and functionality in ProfileLab that are specifically suited to Tekcel CNC Routers. ProfileLab is easy to use and feature rich enabling you to get up and running immediately.
