Today’s woodworking professionals recognize that computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines have made intricate, complex cuts much easier to complete, and woodworking shops that are unable to quickly and accurately complete these cuts will lose business. CNC woodworking machines use a microprocessor to complete cuts electronically or create shapes in wooden panels. The machine’s operator inputs exact measurements and the cutting path into the machine using a CAD-based or CAM-based program.
Now that CNC machines have been on the market long enough, most used woodworking machines suppliers will have a wide array of CNC machines available. Buyers who do enough research before finalizing a purchase might locate a good deal in a woodworking machinery liquidation sale. If a desired machine is not available in a liquidation sale, buyers can still rest easy knowing machines acquired from used woodworking machines suppliers are usually half the price of a new machine. Although CNC machines continue to become more popular, not all woodworking shops have added these machines to their shop floors. By acquiring one of these machines, shops will gain access to the following benefits:
Quicker Set-Up
For woodworking shops to achieve the maximum level of efficiency, they need to set-up their machines quicker. Most CNC machines offer a reduced set-up time because they use CNC technology to aid in this process. For instance, some machines rely on the computer to position tables and clamps. Those machines that have automatic rail-and-pod positioning systems and projection lasers that can be used for wood alignment can guarantee a quicker set-up time than manually operated devices. Manufacturers have also created automatic tool change systems that make it easier for woodworkers to save time during set-up. Buyers will see many machines with these capabilities available in woodworking machinery liquidation sales.
Take up Less Space
Woodworking shops are always looking for ways to generate more revenue, but sometimes increasing revenue is as easy as doing a better job of managing floor space. Modern CNC machines, including those sold by used woodworking machines suppliers, offer greater flexibility as they were designed to complete multiple jobs. In comparison, older machines were more specialized and each machine was used for one specific job. Shops that purchase modern CNC machines are therefore able to consolidate their fleet, which not only saves money but also allows the company to work more efficiently by freeing up floor space for additional machines.
Deliver Improved Energy Efficiency
Since many clients are now making it a priority to work with shops using environmentally efficient processes, shop owners will be pleased to learn that CNC machines are far more energy efficient. Manufacturers have taken advantage of CNC technologies to automate certain processes so they are completed in a more energy efficient way. For example, machines using a vacuum pump to hold wooden sheets in place will utilize an automatic management of pumps so less energy is used.
