This system provides operators with unprecedented flexibility in selecting and switching between cutting tools.
• Dedicated Drill Head: Houses 9 drill bits, which can be lowered almost instantaneously for rapid and precise drilling operations. This feature significantly enhances productivity, especially for cabinetry and similar applications requiring multiple drilling configurations.
• World-Class Construction: Utilising high-quality components ensures consistent performance and exceptional precision in every application.
• High-Frequency Air Cooling Spindle: Maintains optimal operating temperatures, extending equipment longevity and delivering more consistent cutting performance.
• Robust Vacuum Table: Integrated grid system ensures secure workpiece clamping across various materials, providing stability and accuracy during complex machining processes.
• Reliable Servo Motor and Driving System: Delivers smooth, precise movements, enabling the execution of intricate designs and demanding machining tasks.
• User-Friendly NC Studio Controller: Intuitive interface bridges advanced technological capabilities with user-friendly operation, making sophisticated machining techniques accessible to operators of varying skill levels.

Benefits of the EK Series:

• Efficiency: Enhances workflow efficiency and reduces tool change downtime.
• Precision: Consistent performance with exceptional precision for intricate designs.
• Durability: Extends equipment longevity with high-frequency air cooling technology.
• Versatility: Adaptable clamping for a diverse range of materials and projects.
• Ease of Use: Intuitive interface making advanced techniques approachable for all skill levels.

From complex cabinetry production to precision manufacturing, the Excitech EK Series CNC routers demonstrate our commitment to engineering excellence, offering professional-grade performance that meets the evolving demands of modern manufacturing environments.

SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE EK-C AND EK-D CNC ROUTERS: 

Tool Changer:

• EK-C Series: Features a 12-position linear tool rack positioned beneath the gantry, allowing for rapid and seamless tool transitions.
• EK-D Series: Utilises a 16-position rotary tool changer mounted at the end of the gantry for increased working Z height

Drill Bank:

• EK-C Series: Does not have a dedicated drill bank.
• EK-D Series: Can include a dedicated drill bank with 9 drill bits, enabling rapid and precise drilling operations (this is an optional feature).

Productivity Enhancements:

• EK-C Series: Emphasises overall precision and efficient tool changes, suitable for a range of manufacturing tasks.
• EK-D Series: Focuses on productivity enhancements with its rotary tool changer and dedicated drill bank, particularly beneficial for complex cabinetry production and precision woodworking.

Both series share several high-quality components, including robust vacuum tables, reliable servo motors, and high-frequency air cooling spindles, ensuring consistent performance and exceptional precision.

The EK range of CNC Routers features:

• • We build our machines with longevity in mind; as a result, we manufacture our frames and gantries from heat stabilised steel
  • Linear tool changer with 12 slots under gantry, therefore moving along with spindle bank (EK-C only)
  • 16-position rotary tool changer mounted at the end of the gantry for for increased working Z height (EK-D only)
  • Can includes a dedicated drill bank with 9 drill bits, enabling rapid and precise drilling operations (EK-D only).
  • Vacuum Matrix table with double layer, although the latter is an option
  • 1 set of 5.5Kw vacuum pump (extra pumps for larger bed sizes)
  • ExiCAM controller, fully customised
  • High frequency Excitech air-cooling electronic ISO spindle as well as reliable servo motor and driving system
  • Flexible cables, not only wear-resistant but also highly heat-resistant; this ensures a long lifespan.
  • Remote diagnostics and machine control over Ethernet, ensuring full support (internet connection required)
  • Smart material location pop-up pins, so ensuring accurate panel positioning for both, X &Y axis (controlled by foot pedal)
  • Vectric Cut 2D Pro supplied as standard. VCarve or Aspire as options. More details on vectric.com
  • Can be sold as a complete package with Polyboard, StairDesigner, OptiCUT, OptiNEST. Check out Wood Designer on wooddesigner.org
