NC Type Automatic Double End Tenoner

A fully automatic double end tenoner built for workshops that run multiple profiles and cannot afford long re-calibration stops between jobs. NC servo positioning, HSK tooling, and stored job recipes combine to make changeovers a matter of seconds rather than an operator's morning.

Typically chosen by

  • Joinery and window manufacturers running multiple job profiles through the same machine each week
  • Production shops where operator calibration time between batches is a measurable cost
  • Workshops that need consistent, repeatable tenon quality across high volumes without relying on manual adjustment

Key specification considerations

Control System
NC Servo
NC servo positioning allows axis adjustments to be made automatically and stored as named recipes, removing the need for manual re-setting between jobs.
Tooling Interface
HSK 63F
HSK tooling offers faster, more repeatable tool changes than conventional arbor-mounted tooling, which matters when you are switching profiles regularly.
Work Holding
Automatic Dogs
Automatic dogs clamp and feed workpieces without manual intervention, keeping throughput consistent and reducing the operator handling required per piece.
Recipe Storage
Yes
Stored job recipes let operators recall a previous setup in seconds rather than re-measuring and re-setting from scratch each time a repeat job comes in.

Working Width (min–max)
Configured to order — confirm with IWM
Working width range is set at the time of specification; talk to us about your widest and narrowest workpieces before ordering.
Working Height (min–max)
Configured to order — confirm with IWM
Working height capacity depends on the hold-down and pressure beam specification chosen; confirm your maximum workpiece thickness when enquiring.
Feed Speed
Configured to order — confirm with IWM
Feed speed is set to match your production volume and material; faster feed rates require verified extraction capacity at the infeed and outfeed.
Spindle Speed
Configured to order — confirm with IWM
Number of Spindles
Configured to order — confirm with IWM
Spindle count is determined by the number of working units specified; discuss your profile complexity with us to arrive at the right configuration.
Motor Power (total)
Configured to order — confirm with IWM
Total connected load varies with the number and type of working units fitted; confirm three-phase supply capacity and available amperage with your electrician before ordering.
Electrical Supply
Three-phase — confirm voltage and frequency with IWM
Three-phase supply is required; confirm your site voltage (typically 400 V / 50 Hz in the UK) when enquiring so we can specify the correct panel configuration.
Machine Dimensions (L × W × H)
Configured to order — confirm with IWM
Overall footprint depends on frame length and number of working units; allow additional clearance at both infeed and outfeed ends for workpiece handling and operator access.
Machine Weight
Configured to order — confirm with IWM
Heavy-duty welded steel construction means floor loading should be checked with a structural engineer before installation, particularly on upper floors or older industrial premises.
Extraction Connection
Configured to order — confirm with IWM
Extraction connection sizes depend on the working units fitted; confirm your existing ductwork diameter when specifying so extraction can be sized correctly.
Noise Level
Confirm with IWM at point of specification
Noise output varies with spindle count, feed speed, and material; acoustic treatment or hearing protection requirements should be assessed once the machine configuration is finalised.
CE Marked
Confirm with IWM
CE marking confirms the machine meets applicable EU Machinery Directive requirements; for UK supply, confirm UKCA compliance with us at the time of enquiry.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the NC Type Automatic Double End Tenoner if...

  • You run a range of different tenoning profiles and need to switch between them quickly without lengthy re-calibration
  • Repeat job accuracy is critical and you cannot afford variation between batches
  • Your production volume justifies full automation — manual setup time is a genuine bottleneck in your workflow
  • You want to reduce dependence on highly skilled setter operators by storing and recalling proven job recipes

Consider an alternate model if...

  • Your volume is lower or your profiles rarely change — the ECT-SET100 or Double End Sizer C Type may offer a more appropriate level of automation at lower cost
  • You are primarily processing flooring material, in which case the dedicated Tenoners For Flooring range is likely better matched to your feed and profile requirements
  • You only need single-end or grooving operations — the Single End Grooving Machine ECT-C2 would be worth discussing with us instead
  • Your work falls within window component production — the ECT-Windotec Series is configured specifically for that application and may be a closer fit
