Versatility is undoubtedly the most valuable aspect of investing in industrial CNC machinery. As a manufacturer of custom CNC milling machines, we know that a competitive company cannot limit itself to a single niche. That is why our machines are designed to deliver flawless industrial CNC milling on a wide variety of materials, ranging from the finest woods to the most advanced composites.
Below, we detail the materials you can process on our CNC machining centers:
1. Wood and Wood-Based Materials: The Foundation of the Supporting Industry
The technical woodworking sector has taken a major leap forward thanks to industrial CNC machines.
- Solid wood: Oak, beech, pine, and dense tropical woods can be machined with astonishing smoothness.
- MDF and Plywood: Ideal for furniture, trade show booths, and decorative panels. Chip control in these materials is vital for keeping a workshop clean—something you’ll have under control with our extraction systems.
2. Engineering Plastics: Precision and Durability
Machining plastics requires strict control of spindle speed to prevent the material from melting due to the heat generated by the cutter, but thanks to our cutter cooling systems, you’ll have it under control.
- Methacrylate (Acrylic): Essential for the signage industry. We achieve polished edges directly from the machine.
- PVC and Polyethylene: Standard materials in the manufacture of mechanical parts, gears, and industrial guards.
- Polycarbonate and POM (Acetal): For components requiring high impact resistance or low friction.
3. Aluminum and Non-Ferrous Metals
Not all CNC milling machines on the market can reliably machine aluminum. At CNC Bárcenas, the robustness of our machine beds enables industrial CNC milling of aluminum, brass, and copper, producing high-quality finished parts for engineering, blow molds, or architectural facades.
4. Composite Panels: Alucobond and Dibond
These materials (two layers of aluminum with a thermoplastic or mineral core) are the standard in modern architecture and signage. Our industrial CNC machines enable “V” milling for subsequent manual bending, as well as high-speed perimeter cutting, optimizing on-site assembly times.
5. Advanced Materials and Foams
- Resins and Fiberglass: Used in the marine, automotive, and aerospace industries (such as drones) for creating molds and prototypes.
- Engineered Foams (EPS, XPS): Ideal for custom industrial packaging or set design.
- Solid Surface (Krion, Corian): Mineral-based materials that require high cutting stability to prevent microcracks, a challenge our CNC routers and machining centers handle with complete ease.
Why does the variety of materials matter?
Having industrial CNC machinery capable of switching from one material to another without losing precision will allow your company to adapt quickly to changes in the market. If demand for furniture drops, you can easily move into the signage sector or the machining of technical parts.
