    Soukup Arcus Machining Centre for Making UK window & door Arches

    Soukup · Timber Window & Door
    A dedicated CNC station for profiling arched and shaped window and door components, so your main machining centre stays on standard production. Designed to work in combination with the Soukup Crafter or Wizard, the Arcus completes the arch workflow — inside and outside profile in a single setup — without pulling skilled operators away from straight-frame work.

    Typically chosen by

    • Window and door manufacturers who regularly take on arched or shaped frames but currently handle them as a slow, disruptive one-off process
    • Joinery workshops already running a Soukup Crafter or Wizard who need a dedicated downstream station to complete arch components accurately without tying up their main machining centre
    • Manufacturers who also produce door infill panels and want a single machine capable of handling both shaped frames and flat panel work

    Key specification considerations

    Application
    Arched & shaped window/door components, glazing beads, door infill panels
    Machining Passes
    Inside and outside profile in single setup
    Profiling both faces in one setup reduces handling and keeps segment geometry consistent before pressing.
    Compatible Upstream Machines
    Soukup Crafter, Soukup Wizard series
    Segments must be accurately cut to length and end-angled on a compatible machine before presenting to the Arcus — confirm your existing or planned upstream machine with IWM.
    Panel Machining
    Supported via supplementary table with two zero reference points
    The supporting table and zero-reference positioning system for door infill panel work should be confirmed as included or optional at point of enquiry.

    Machine Type
    CNC Machining Centre
    Primary Application
    Arched and shaped window & door arch component profiling
    Secondary Application
    Glazing bead machining from board material (both sides)
    Tertiary Application
    Door infill panel machining (with supporting table)
    Two zero reference points provide repeatable panel positioning — useful where batches of infill panels are a regular requirement.
    Profiling
    Inside and outside profile of arch segments
    Integration
    Designed for use in combination with Soukup Crafter or Wizard
    Dimensions
    Confirm with IWM
    Footprint and installation clearance requirements should be confirmed before committing floor space — contact IWM for the current datasheet.
    Weight
    Confirm with IWM
    Check floor loading capacity in your workshop before installation — IWM can provide the figure on request.
    Power Requirement
    Confirm with IWM
    Electrical supply requirements should be verified with your installer before ordering — IWM can confirm phase and amperage on request.
    Spindle Configuration
    Confirm with IWM
    Control System
    Confirm with IWM
    Noise Level
    Confirm with IWM
    If measured noise output exceeds 80 dB(A), acoustic treatment or hearing protection will be required under UK COSHH and noise at work regulations.
    Extraction Connection
    Confirm with IWM
    Extraction diameter and minimum airflow should be matched to your dust extraction system before installation — confirm with IWM at point of enquiry.

    Is this the right
    machine for you?

    Choose the Soukup Arcus Machining Centre for Making UK window & door Arches if...

    • You manufacture arched or shaped windows and doors regularly enough that handling them as a manual one-off is costing you time and consistency
    • You are already running a Soukup Crafter or Wizard for straight window production and need a dedicated station to complete the arch workflow without pulling your main machine off standard work
    • You need to machine glazing beads from board material on both faces as part of your arch production process
    • You produce door infill panels alongside window arches and want a single machine capable of handling both with repeatable positioning

    Consider an alternate model if...

    • Your primary need is straight window and door machining with no regular requirement for arched work — the Soukup Crafter or Soukup Wizard 3S or 4L would be the more appropriate starting point
    • You need single-end tenoning as your main production bottleneck rather than arch profiling — the Soukup Temac Automatic Single End Tenoning Machine addresses that more directly
    • You are considering the Arcus as a standalone purchase without an upstream cutting and angling machine — the Arcus depends on segments being accurately prepared first, so discuss the full line configuration with IWM before specifying
    • Your arch volumes are very low and occasional — it is worth discussing with IWM whether the Arcus is justified against your projected output, or whether an alternative approach suits your current scale
