CENTAURO CNC Morticer

Thanks to the Graphic Touch-Screen controller with USB port, programming and setup adjustments are very easy and intuitive allowing an extremely quick working change-over. Also manual working out of the mortise slot positions is no longer required as all this information is memorized by the machine controller. Another great advantage of the BETA is the movement
and automatic expulsion of the pieces, even with significant thickness and length, without any operator intervention during the entire work cycle. All this is achieved on a very solid machine base having significantly reduced overall dimensions.
BETA is available in 3 different configurations:
• with swing chisel (basic version)
• with swing chisel + hollow chisel head
• with swing chisel + router head


Fully programmable 3 axis horizontal CNC swing chisels mortiser suitable for general joinery and furniture production. By a combination of automatic movement of the mortisting head in the x axis and an automatic gripper that positions the timber no manual movement or handling of the component is required other than loading and positioning the timber against the pneumatic reference stop and then unloading when the mortising cycle is finished. The complete movement, clamping and mortising cycle is fully automatic. X, Y and Z axis movements are all via re-circulating ball and screw drives and using linear slide-ways to give maximum positioning accuracy. Thanks to the programmable Z axis it is possible to produce off line mortises, double mortises or produce thicker mortise slots with the same chisel. Programming is very simple thanks to the 'user friendly' graphic touch screen controller were programs can be memorised and stored under a number or specific name up to 8 characters. The swing chisel cutter itself produces a very clean mortise slot and if required for deep mortises up to 3 depths of cut can be programmed to give a 'woodpecker' type cutting operation. Other programming options include working off either the face of the timber or the thickness and the possibility to produce mirror image components (left/right hand) in one program.
