The single-head 3-spindle hinge drilling machine is the workshop equipment for simultaneously drilling the hinge cup and the auxiliary holes on furniture panels. A single pedal cycle produces all 3 holes required at the hinge position, with no panel repositioning and no additional passes.
With a processing length of up to 1.000 mm, a work table of 800×600 mm and 3 spindles on a single head, the single-head hinge drilling machine is the solution for workshops producing furniture with tall doors and large panels, where the extended processing length makes the difference compared with compact double-head machines.
The single-head hinge drilling machine has a power of 1,5 kW at 2.880 rpm, drilling up to 35 mm diameter and 50 mm depth, overall dimensions of 1.000×800×1.550 mm and a weight of 100 kg — parameters that position it as a standalone production machine, with a dedicated work table and a support surface sufficient for medium and large furniture panels. The dual 380V/220V power supply makes it compatible with any furniture workshop in Romania. Technical specifications — single-head hinge drilling machine

Advantages of the single-head hinge drilling machine
• 3 simultaneous spindles — the hinge cup and the auxiliary holes in a single cycle — the single-head hinge drilling machine has 3 bits mounted on a single head that descend simultaneously on the pedal stroke, producing in a single cycle all the holes required at a hinge position: the 35 mm main cup and the two auxiliary fixing holes. Compared with sequential drilling with a single bit, the 3 simultaneous bits of the single-head hinge drilling machine eliminate 2 additional cycles per hinge and guarantee perfect alignment of the holes relative to each other, regardless of the operator.
• Processing length ≤1.000 mm — for tall panels and large-format doors — the single-head hinge drilling machine has a processing length of up to 1.000 mm, 25% greater than compact machines, allowing hinge drilling on tall doors of 200–240 cm without limiting the mounting position of the top hinge. This feature is critical for manufacturers of floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, high storage systems and furniture with non-standard proportions.
• Work table 800×600 mm — stability for large panels — the single-head hinge drilling machine has an 800×600 mm work table that supports medium and large furniture panels without requiring additional support stands. The generous table surface of the single-head hinge drilling machine reduces the risk of tilting or movement of the panel during drilling, preserving the precision of the hole positions on heavy or long panels.
• Diameter ≤35 mm, depth ≤50 mm — compatible with all cup hinges — the single-head hinge drilling machine drills up to 35 mm diameter and 50 mm depth, covering all standard cup hinge sizes used in furniture production: the 26 mm hinge for economy furniture, the 35 mm European standard hinge for current furniture and the 40 mm hinge for heavy doors over 20 kg.
• 1,5 kW motor at 2.880 rpm — clean drilling in chipboard, MDF and solid wood — the single-head hinge drilling machine has a 1,5 kW motor at 2.880 rpm that ensures fast and clean drilling in all standard furniture production materials, without tearing the fibres at the entry and exit of the bit, without overheating in series production and without speed loss under load on denser materials.
• Footprint 1.000×800×1.550 mm, 100 kg — production equipment with a fixed position in the workshop — the single-head hinge drilling machine, with a height of 1.550 mm and a weight of 100 kg, is designed as production equipment with a fixed position at the workshop's drilling station, not as portable equipment. This solid construction ensures stability in continuous production and eliminates the vibrations that could affect the precision of the hole positions at high working speeds.
• 380V/220V power supply — compatible with any industrial workshop or furniture service in Romania, with no additional electrical adaptations.
• 60-month UZINEX warranty — spare parts in stock in Iași, national technical support in 24–48 hours, transport and commissioning included.
Single-head vs. double-head hinge drilling machine — which version suits your workshop
UZINEX offers two versions of furniture hinge drilling machines: the double-head version (2×1,5 kW) and the single-head hinge drilling machine (1,5 kW, 3 spindles). The choice between the two depends on the type of production and the dimensions of the panels being processed.
The double-head machine simultaneously drills two hinge cups on the same panel in one cycle — a major advantage in series production with high volumes of identical panels, where doubling the heads halves the total number of cycles per panel. The single-head 3-spindle hinge drilling machine produces all the holes required at a single hinge position in one cycle and has a greater processing length, an essential advantage for tall panels and non-standard format doors.
For workshops producing made-to-order furniture with varied dimensions and tall doors, the single-head hinge drilling machine offers superior flexibility. For factories with series production of hundreds of identical panels per day, the double-head version offers higher throughput by volume. UZINEX engineers recommend the optimal version for your workshop's specific production profile at the quotation stage. Applications — single-head hinge drilling machine
Manufacturers of wardrobes, high storage systems and floor-to-ceiling-door furniture are the primary users of the single-head hinge drilling machine. The top hinges of 220–240 cm doors are mounted at distances of over 800–900 mm from the top edge of the panel — a distance that compact machines with a smaller processing length cannot reach without repositioning the panel. The single-head hinge drilling machine with a processing length of 1.000 mm drills the top hinge without repositioning, maintaining alignment precision with the bottom hinge.
Made-to-order furniture workshops producing pieces with different dimensions from one client to another benefit from the single-head hinge drilling machine through its ability to process any panel length up to 1.000 mm without reconfiguration. The 800×600 mm work table supports the panels in a stable position throughout drilling, regardless of the width of the door being processed.
Office furniture manufacturers — archive cabinets, filing cabinets, bookcases with hinged doors — use the single-head hinge drilling machine to drill hinges on panels with a standard height of 720–800 mm, where the 3 simultaneous spindles produce the hinge hole and the fixing holes in a single cycle, reducing the total time to prepare the components before assembly. Frequently asked questions about the single-head hinge drilling machine
Why does the single-head hinge drilling machine have 3 spindles and not just one?
Modern cup hinges require not only the main cup (35 mm hole) but also two auxiliary fixing holes for the mounting screws. The single-head 3-spindle hinge drilling machine drills all 3 holes simultaneously in one cycle, with the exact distances between them preset by the head's construction. The alternative — a single bit and 3 separate cycles — requires 3 times more time per hinge and carries the risk of positioning errors between drillings. Can the single-head hinge drilling machine be used for 26mm and 35mm hinges?
Yes. The single-head hinge drilling machine drills up to 35 mm diameter, covering both the 26 mm hinge and the 35 mm hinge. Changing the bit for another size is done quickly. At the initial training, UZINEX recommends the optimal bits for each type of hinge used in your production. Is the single-head hinge drilling machine better than the double-head version?
The two versions have different production profiles; neither is superior to the other. The single-head hinge drilling machine is optimal for long panels and large-format doors. The double-head version is optimal for large series of identical panels with hinges at standard positions. UZINEX engineers recommend the version suited to your production profile at the quotation stage — contact us for free consultancy.

Yes. UZINEX is a member of the Enterprise Europe Network and delivers equipment for projects with EU funds. The single-head hinge drilling machine can be added directly to SEAP/SICAP.
