Double-Head Six-Sided CNC Drilling Machine

The double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center is the CNC machining center with two independent drilling heads for furniture factories with intensive production that require simultaneous processing of two panels or two distinct zones of the same panel within a single work cycle. Each head contains 29 active tools — 12 top vertical drills, 8 horizontal drills and 9 bottom vertical drills — resulting in 58 total tools that operate simultaneously over the 1.300×2.500 mm work area at a spindle rotation speed of 4.800 rpm.

The double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center is equipped with a Blue Elephant custom control system, absolute servo motors, helical rack-and-pinion drive (Taiwan), a traverse speed of 120 m/min on the X axis and 80 m/min on the Y axis, a repositioning accuracy of ±0,03 mm and overall dimensions of 5.832×2.727×2.367 mm. The dual 220V/380V supply ensures compatibility with the electrical installations of industrial factories in Romania. Technical specifications — double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center

• 2 independent heads — double the productivity of a single-head center — the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center has two fully independent drilling heads, each with its own 29 active tools. The two heads can simultaneously process two different panels over the 1.300×2.500 mm work area, or can perform different drilling schemes on the two halves of a large panel. Compared to a single-head center, the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center processes twice as many panels per hour with the same number of operators.

• 58 active tools simultaneously — complete 6-sided drilling scheme in a single pass — the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center combines 58 tools in the active configuration: 24 top vertical drills (12 per head), 16 horizontal drilling units (8 per head in two directions) and 18 bottom vertical drills (9 per head). This 58-tool architecture simultaneously performs all the holes for dowels, Minifix connectors, cup-type hinges and grooves for the furniture body bottom on both panels in the cycle, with no additional operations and no repositioning.

• 4.800 rpm — optimal rotation speed for clean drilling in particleboard and MDF — the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center reaches 4.800 rpm at the main spindle, a speed that ensures clean drilling without tearing the melamine or MDF fibers at standard furniture-drill diameters. At 4.800 rpm with the appropriate feed, the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center produces holes with smooth edges that require no deburring and that directly accept the mounting of furniture connectors without additional machining.

• 120 m/min on the X axis, 80 m/min on the Y axis — ultra-fast positioning between hole groups — the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center moves at 120 m/min on the X axis and 80 m/min on the Y axis thanks to the absolute servo drive and the helical Taiwan rack-and-pinion. At these positioning speeds, the idle times between consecutive hole groups are minimized — every second saved on positioning multiplies across tens of thousands of panels produced annually, resulting in a significant increase in the factory's production capacity.

• Absolute servo — position retained at shutdown, no recalibration at restart — the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center is driven by absolute servo motors that memorize the exact position of all axes even after shutdown or power interruption. At restart, the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center resumes production immediately from the retained position, without the recalibration (homing) sequence that consumes time and that can introduce cumulative errors in long production runs.

• Blue Elephant custom control system — interface adapted for furniture production — the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center runs the Blue Elephant system, a custom control software for CNC furniture-drilling centers, with an interface adapted to production flows and with specific functions for managing drilling schemes per order and per panel type. The Blue Elephant system of the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center accepts the import of programs from the CAD/CAM software used in furniture design.

• Industrial footprint 5.832×2.727×2.367 mm — dimensioned for high-capacity production lines — the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center has the dimensions of an industrial series machine, designed for integration into production lines with a conveyor belt and automatic systems for feeding and discharging panels. The 5.8 m length reflects the capacity of the two independent heads and the extended work area required for the simultaneous processing of two panels.

• 60-month UZINEX warranty — spare parts in stock in Iași, 24–48 hour national technical support, commissioning and integration into the production line included.

The double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center vs. the single-head center

UZINEX offers two variants of 6-sided CNC drilling centers: the single-head center with 29 tools and the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center with 58 tools. The choice between the two depends on the daily production volume and the degree of automation of the line.

The single-head center is the solution for factories with medium production — volumes of 200–500 panels per shift — where the investment in double capacity is not economically justified. The double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center is the solution for factories with intensive production — volumes of 500–1.000+ panels per shift — where doubling the drilling capacity eliminates a real bottleneck in the production line and reduces the cost per drilled panel. UZINEX engineers recommend the appropriate variant at quotation stage, after analyzing the factory's production volume and flow. Applications — double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center

Flat-pack furniture factories with high volumes for national and international retail are the main application of the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center. At 500–1.000 panels per shift, a single-head center becomes the line bottleneck — the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center eliminates this bottleneck by processing two panels per cycle, maintaining the pace of the sizing and edge-banding line without doubling the number of drilling machines or operators.

Integrated manufacturers of kitchen, bedroom and storage furniture with direct delivery to retail chains use the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center as the central node of the machining line. The wide variety of panel dimensions and the different drilling schemes per order are managed by the Blue Elephant system, which automatically loads the corresponding program for each panel, maintaining a high cadence without manual intervention between pieces.

Industrial furniture-production parks with several manufacturers sharing the CNC drilling infrastructure benefit from the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center to maximize equipment yield — with two independent heads, the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center can process orders from two different manufacturers in parallel, with distinct drilling programs on each head. Frequently asked questions about the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center

Can the two heads of the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center perform different drilling schemes simultaneously?

Yes. The two heads of the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center are independent and can perform different drilling programs on the two panels in the work area. This capability is essential for custom furniture production where a client's order contains panels with different dimensions and drilling schemes — the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center processes them in pairs, without forcing sequential processing on a single head. How does the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center compare with the single-head variant from UZINEX?

The double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center has two heads of 29 tools each (58 total) versus 29 tools total on the single-head variant. Productivity is approximately double with the same number of operators. The footprint is larger (5.832 mm length), the initial investment is higher and it requires a production line with sufficient volume to economically justify the difference. UZINEX recommends the appropriate variant after analyzing the production volume. Does the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center require a special foundation, or can it be installed on the existing floor?

Due to its industrial footprint and weight, the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center requires an industrial floor with adequate resistance to the point loads of the support feet. UZINEX assesses the installation conditions at quotation stage and specifies any foundation or floor-reinforcement requirements, including the placement plan within the production line. Is the double-head 6-sided CNC drilling center eligible for European funding?

Yes. UZINEX is a member of the Enterprise Europe Network and delivers industrial CNC centers for EU-funded projects — the Just Transition Program, PNRR digitalization, the Regional Program for the modernization of industrial production.
