INNOVATIVE WOODWORKING MACHINERY & EXPERTISE
Fully automatic hopper fed CNC woodturning lathe, designed for the volume production of stair and furniture parts.
The Intorex CKO is a cutting-edge 9 axis CNC woodturning lathe, designed to deliver unparalleled speed and accuracy through advanced knife cutting technology, enhanced by a unique multi-axis sanding and router system. This innovate machine is ideal for producing a wide range of components, from baseball bats and chair legs to modern stair spindles and newel posts.
Equipped with an automatic hopper feed loader, the CKO ensures efficient and precise delivery of blanks between the headstock and tailstock, where they are securely clamped for machining. The machine features three CNC copiers dedicated to turning and two CNC copiers for sanding turned parts, providing a smooth and flawless finish. Additionally, the CKO includes an independent router head (without tool changer) for drilling, milling, and shaping operations, offering unmatched versatility.
One of the standout features of the CKO is its ability to produce completely finished components that require no further work or handling, thanks to its advanced sanding capabilities. Once the final machining or sanding operation is completed, the component is efficiently ejected onto a transfer exit belt.
The robust construction of the CKO ensures long-lasting performance. It's structure consists of a machine bed with a sliding carriage on top, both crafted from electro-welded steel that is stabilised after each work phase to eliminate interior tension. This design guarantees stability and accuracy during all machining operations.
