• Optional 5-axis machining: Expand machining capabilities for more complex components and applications.
• Compact machine design: Integrated switch cabinet helps reduce the machine footprint.
• Adaptive Stop System: Supports flexible workpiece positioning using mobile stop plates and integrated pins.
• Flexible automation options: Configure material handling to suit manual loading or automated production.
• Integrated safety technology: The safeScan concept supports safe, productive machine operation.

Features and Technology

Versatile CNC Machining

The CENTATEQ N-310 combines nesting operations with flexible machining capabilities. Depending on the selected configuration, 5-axis processing can be complemented by drilling units, additional machining equipment and tool-changing systems to support a variety of applications.

Adaptive Stop System

The Adaptive Stop System introduces additional workpiece-positioning possibilities similar to those of a console machine. Mobile stop plates with integrated pins help position workpieces on vacuum suction cups, providing greater flexibility for different machining tasks.

Compact Design for Efficient Production

With an integrated switch cabinet and a compact machine concept, the CENTATEQ N-310 is designed to make effective use of available floor space. Its configuration can help manufacturers introduce versatile CNC processing without requiring an unnecessarily large production area.

Efficient Tool Changing

The tool changer travels in the X and Y directions with the main spindle, helping to reduce tool-change times and support efficient machining cycles.

Flexible Vacuum Table Configuration

Automatically selectable vacuum-field divisions can be adapted to standard panel sizes. The MATRIX table allows suction cups to be positioned across the table’s grid, supporting flexible workpiece clamping for different production requirements.

Plug-and-Play Automation

The CENTATEQ N-310 can be configured to match your workflow, from manual workpiece loading to material handling using roller conveyors, pallet trucks or storage systems. This modular approach allows production capabilities to be expanded as business requirements change.

safeScan Safety Concept

The safeScan safety concept is designed to support productivity while maintaining machine safeguarding. When someone enters the defined safety area, the machine stops. Processing can resume after the area has been cleared and confirmation has been given at the operating terminal.

Software and Digital Production

The open system supports interfaces with standard software solutions. HOMAG’s software ecosystem includes applications for design, optimisation, material organisation and labelling, helping manufacturers coordinate CNC machining with their wider production workflow.

Technical Specifications

Important: Working dimensions and installation requirements depend on the machine configuration, number of Z-axes, tooling and selected equipment. Confirm the relevant dimensions with Electro-Tech Machinery before specifying the machine for your workshop.

Automation and Material Handling

The CENTATEQ N-310 can be integrated into a wider panel-processing workflow with compatible HOMAG automation solutions, depending on the selected configuration and production requirements.

Options may include STORETEQ material-handling systems to support panel feeding, storage and transfer. Integrating nesting with suitable material-handling equipment can help reduce manual handling and support a more consistent production flow.
