During the development process, SCM optimised the machining centre’s performance as wells as its layout. The result is an improved worktable which allows the machining of up to 4.5 metre wide and 50 metre long elements. The electrospindle develops a power of 30 kW and, when cutting elements, can exploit power with large tools, such as chain saws with a guide bar of up to 480 mm in length or a circular saw blade of up to 1,020 mm in diameter.

Thanks to the mobile gantry structure developed by SCM, Area can machine elements of more than 50 metres in length with maximum precision. The specially designed worktable facilitates the complete processing of wall elements as well as the machining of curved glulam beams and the cutting of thin panels. Solid wood elements are held by multi-functional aluminium elements while a suction cup system is used for panels.
User-friendly software
SCM is convinced that the success of machining centres also depends on software efficiency. This is why the Italian woodworking technology expert makes a continuous effort to further improve the machining software Maestro Beam & Wall thereby keeping it a state-of-the-art system. SCM attaches great importance to speed and user-friendliness. The result is a programme for planners, operators and maintenance staff.
Technology that pays off

As is the case with all SCM machining centres, Area can also be purchased with the simulation software included in Maestro Beam & Wall. With the simulation station, programmes can be tested in advance and operations performed during production can be visualised. This allows clients to reduce errors, collision risks and downtime. Furthermore, it is possible to calculate production time and costs and facilitate the calculation of the yield of every order.
