ART NBM Cabinet Making CNC Router

An ART NBM Router has all the features essential to cabinet making and nested based manufacturing.
Consequently, with one machine you will be able to reduce your labour and waste, whilst increasing productivity and flexibility. At the same time you can maintain quality in both product and customer service. So, if you are in the business of manufacturing products from flat panels, such as kitchen and commercial cabinets, store fixtures, furniture, displays etc., ART has the ideal solution for you.

The machine, featured here is a 5850SX Router.

Innovation and change are two concepts that keep ART at the top of the ever evolving manufacturing industry. This is made evident through many aspects of the machine such as:

•  Touch Screen
•  Swarf Transfer System
•  Software
•  Rotary Tool Changer
•  Spindle
•  Multi Drill
•  Popup Locating Pins
•  Pusher Bar
•  Vacuum Matrix Deck
•  Printer
•  Laser Alignment Pointer
•  Motion Control
•  Warranty

We compared a lot of other machines. The process took us nearly two years all up and we really wanted to find out which was the best machine, and we feel that we put a lot of research into it.

Some of the key features that made us choose an ART machine was the 10 tool rotary tool-changer that was on the gantry. The automatic tool length sensor measurement, other machines had items that weren’t so automatic and made it a little more difficult to test. Also the ease of use of the touch screen based interface was to us very easy to use and ideal for a factory environment. – No mouse or trackball or even a keyboard required. Very easy to keep clean – it didn't matter if it got dust on it, you just wipe it off.

Other reasons for choosing an ART machine was the size and the fact that it was Australian made. We really wanted something that we could get parts for very quickly if ever something happened.

The staff really appreciated how quickly it can cut a single job or half a dozen components, all drilled, shaped and ready to be edged. It honestly only takes us 5 minutes from the office to the factory floor and then the time it takes to cut the sheet.

The biggest time saver we can see is that we are able to nest a whole set of doors and machine them without anyone actually being there to supervise which increases production.

ART Machines have both touch screen and pendant control. This intuitive system provides a quick and simple means of entering machine instructions, editing parts, moving, resizing and more, all at the machine.

ART ProfileShop CNC controller software is an amazing user interface that is so simple to use. While being extremely easy to learn, it is highly flexible and offers top end functionality for your ART Router or Plasma. You can easily modify any part of the job by simply selecting parts on the touch-screen. ART ProfileShop is at the absolute cutting edge when it comes to CNC machinery software.

ART Rotary Tool Changers can dramatically decrease production time. The 10 tool rotary carousel allows your ART CNC Router to complete highly complex jobs with multiple tools with no user interaction.

ART offers a large choice of high quality spindles for your CNC router and robotics application. These range from 12,000RPM to 60,000RPM and 2KW to 12KW in power.

ART's advanced multi drill is perfect for business in the cabinet making industry. The multi drill is designed to suit standard 32mm fixtures and can bore up to 5 holes horizontally or vertically on the panel board. Other configurations are also available.

Innovative popup locating pins allow for easy material positioning, resulting in decreased loading time to maximize production.

The pusher bar enables the machine to quickly push the processed material off the process area onto another surface. Whilst sweeping, the pusher bar uses extraction to leave a clean machine deck.

ART CNC Routers are offered with a Multi-Port Matrix Vacuum Deck to hold material firmly in place. Used in conjunction with a porous spoil board, this design provides excellent material hold-down.

Automatic vacuum valves also available.

ART Routers are fitted with a swarf transfer system. This feature provides excellent extraction characteristics without any overhead arms or hoses allowing for use of overhead cranes. All swarf is delivered directly to your collection bin.

Most ART CNC Machines can be fitted with an optional Tangential Inkjet Printhead. This feature enables part numbers and other information to be printed directly onto the material being cut. Permanent and removable inks are available.

All ART CNC Machines can be fitted with an optional High Precision Laser Pointer. This feature enables accurate alignment of material as well as fast and precise pendant controlled digitising of hand-made templates.

ART uses superior quality motion control components including brushless servo motors and digital closed loop positioning to drive our machines. This ensures high speed performance in the toughest materials without the danger of lost positions.

ART provides a fully comprehensive warranty on all machines sold in Australia.
