Soukup Drillex Work Centre

Soukup · Timber Window & Door
A dedicated CNC drilling and milling station for window and door hardware, keeping repetitive drilling work off your main machining centre. Runs standalone or linked directly to a Soukup Wizard line.

Typically chosen by

  • Joinery workshops processing window and door sets who need a dedicated station for hardware drilling rather than tying up a full machining centre
  • Operations already running a Soukup Wizard that want to add a linked drilling stage and share component data across the line
  • Shops handling a mix of standard and complex components, where a fixed table for long or intricate pieces and moving tables for routine work gives genuine flexibility
Before you commit

See it run on your own material

Bring us a sample profile or board and we'll run it through the machine at our Newark showroom. You'll see the output quality firsthand and we can talk through how it fits your workflow - before any decisions are made.

Key specification considerations

Axes
3-axis
The 3-axis configuration handles drilling and milling from the top and back face in a single setup; front-face and head drilling require the operator to turn the component manually.
Tables
Two moving tables + one fixed right-hand table
The fixed right-hand table is intended for longer components with more complex drilling requirements; routine components are clamped on the two moving tables alone.
Barcode Integration
Optional
When the optional barcode device is fitted, the working program loads automatically on component recognition, reducing manual setup time and the risk of operator error between batches.
Software Compatibility
WinCreator / compatible third-party software
SpecificationValueNotes
Machine Type
Stand-alone drilling and milling work centre
Primary Operations
Drilling and milling (hinges, olives, door lock cases, dowel drilling)
Axes
3-axis
Front-face and head drilling require manual component turning between operations.
Tables
Two moving tables + one fixed right-hand table
Program Setup
Automatic via barcode device (optional) or manual via WinCreator / third-party software
Line Integration
Can be linked to Soukup Wizard machine; shares component data across the line
Shared data between the Drillex and Wizard means component parameters only need to be entered once, reducing programming duplication.
Software
WinCreator or compatible third-party software

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Soukup Drillex Work Centre if...

  • You need a dedicated drilling station for window and door hardware — keeping this work off your main machining centre and freeing it for profiling and tenoning
  • You are running or planning a Soukup Wizard line and want to add a linked drilling stage that shares the same component data without re-programming
  • Your production mix includes both long, complex components and routine pieces, and you need a machine that can handle both without reconfiguration
  • You want the option of barcode-driven automatic program loading to reduce operator setup time and error across varied batch work

Consider an alternate model if...

  • You need profiling and tenoning as well as drilling in a single machine — the Soukup Wizard 3S or Wizard 4L would handle the full window or door component in one setup
  • Your primary requirement is tenoning rather than drilling — the Soukup Temac Automatic Single End Tenoning Machine is likely a better fit and a more cost-effective one
  • You need a fully integrated CNC window machining solution with a broader range of operations — the Soukup Crafter CNC Window Machining Centre is worth discussing with us instead
  • Head and front-face drilling make up the majority of your work and manual component turning between operations would create a bottleneck — talk to us about whether a different configuration better suits your workflow
