Soukup Spectra CNC Working Centre

Soukup · Timber Window & Door
A single CNC centre that handles the full range of window and door machining — milling, drilling, rebating, mortising, and hardware prep — across straight and arched components alike. Suited to bespoke workshops that need flexibility across component types without building a multi-machine line.

Typically chosen by

  • Joinery workshops producing bespoke windows and doors who need one machine to handle milling, drilling, rebating, and hardware prep across a range of component profiles
  • Manufacturers already running an angular machining centre who need a dedicated downstream station for drilling muntin bar joints, mortising, and hardware routing without interrupting the main line
  • Smaller producers working on arched or curved window and door frames who cannot justify a full multi-machine line but still need consistent, repeatable results across up to four components at once

Key specification considerations

Simultaneous Capacity
4 components
Four workholding tables with clamps allow a full set of knock-down window or door components to be machined in a single setup, which matters for cycle time in batch production.
Control System
Beckhoff PC, 15" touch screen
Accepts data from WinCreator or third-party CAD/CAM software, so workshops already running design software should confirm compatibility before specifying.
Arched Component Capability
Yes — straight and curved
The machine handles arched structures as standard, which removes the need for a separate dedicated jig or machine when taking on curved-frame orders.
Integration with Angular Centre
Yes — label scan workflow
Identification labels printed at the angular centre can be scanned at the Spectra, linking the two machines into a traceable sequential process without manual re-entry of job data.

SpecificationValueNotes
Simultaneous Workpiece Capacity
4 components
Four tables with clamps allow a complete set of knock-down components to be fixtured and machined together.
Component Types
Straight and curved (arched) window and door components
Machining Operations
Milling, drilling, rebating, profiling, mortising, hardware/hinge/lock prep
Working Faces
Top, back, and both component heads
Access to all four faces in one setup avoids re-fixturing, which reduces handling time and the risk of positional error.
Control System
Beckhoff PC with 15" touch screen
Software Compatibility
WinCreator or third-party software (incl. Alphacam, Klaes, JoinerySoft, RA Workshop)
Workshops using alternative CAD/CAM packages should confirm file format compatibility with IWM before ordering.
Angular Centre Integration
Yes — scannable label workflow
Arched Structure Capability
Yes
Rebate Flexibility
Variable rebates per component — opening/fixed glazing, inward/outward opening
Different rebate profiles can be applied to a single piece in one run, which is useful for mixed-specification door and window batches.
Intended Use Mode
Standalone multifunctional centre or supplementary to angular machining centre
X-Axis Stroke / Max Component Length
3,700 mm / 2,840 mm
Allow additional clearance at each end of the machine for full-length component infeed and outfeed — talk to IWM about floor layout before installation.
Y-Axis Stroke / Max Component Width
1,830 mm / 1,060 mm
Z-Axis Stroke / Max Component Thickness
395 mm / 100 mm
Worktables
4 manually moveable tables with set-up assistance; 10 pneumatic clamps
Set-up assistance guides accurate table positioning to avoid tool-clamp collisions during program execution.
Component Thickness (clamping range)
50–100 mm
Spindle / Aggregate Configuration
Vertical electro spindle HSK-F63: 8/9.5 kW, 380 V, 24,000 rpm, C-axis for aggregates; 5× M10 vertical boring head: 1.5 kW, 380 V; 1× horizontal milling unit: 5.6 kW, 0–18,000 rpm, HSK 40A, bits to ø20 mm; linear tool changer: 6 positions
All spindles run on 380 V three-phase supply — confirm your workshop supply against total connected load with IWM before ordering.
Panel Door Capability
Yes — with optional vacuum clamps, panel doors up to 1,000 mm wide

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Soukup Spectra CNC Working Centre if...

  • You need a single machine to handle the full range of window and door machining operations — milling, drilling, rebating, mortising, hardware prep — without investing in a multi-machine line
  • You produce arched or curved window and door frames alongside standard straight components and need one machine that handles both reliably
  • You already run a Soukup angular machining centre and need a downstream drilling and milling station that integrates directly with it via a label-scan workflow
  • Your work is predominantly bespoke or mixed-specification, and you need the flexibility to run different rebate profiles and hardware preparations on individual components within the same batch

Consider an alternate model if...

  • Your primary bottleneck is tenoning and end profiling rather than drilling and hardware prep — the Soukup Temac Automatic Single End Tenoning Machine or Soukup Wizard Tenon CNC Window Machine may address that more directly
  • You need higher throughput on standard window components and can work to more fixed specifications — the Soukup Crafter CNC Window Machining Centre or Soukup Wizard 4L Machine may be better matched to volume production
  • Your component range is narrower and a simpler three-axis CNC is sufficient — the Soukup Wizard 3S CNC Window Machine is worth discussing if the full flexibility of the Spectra is more than your workflow requires
  • Your budget or floor space is constrained — talk to IWM about where the Spectra sits relative to the Soukup range so we can help you specify the most appropriate machine for your actual output
