EHS 1224-E: Compact 6-Sided Automatic CNC Drilling Centre

The EHS 1224-E represents a sophisticated evolution in panel processing, tailored to meet the demands of modern cabinetry and bespoke furniture manufacturing. Designed for high precision and maximum throughput, this 6-sided drilling centre eliminates the bottlenecks of traditional point-to-point machining by processing all panel faces in a single, continuous pass.

Powered by the advanced ExciCAM controller, the EHS 1224-E merges industrial technological innovation with a compact footprint. It offers a seamless “scan-and-go” workflow that integrates intelligent material handling with powerful dual-bank drilling, delivering professional-grade performance for workshops where efficiency and space are paramount.

Key Features of the EHS 1224-E:

• True 6-Sided Processing: Unlike standard nesting or drilling machines that only access the top face, the EHS 1224-E utilizes a comprehensive spindle configuration to drill the top, bottom, and all four sides of a panel simultaneously¹¹¹¹. This capability delivers a fully finished panel ready for assembly without manual flipping or secondary handling.

• Dual-Bank Drilling Power: The machine is equipped with a massive drilling array split between top and bottom banks. The 12-spindle vertical top bank (plus saw) and 9-spindle vertical bottom bank work in unison to perform complex drilling patterns instantly²². This dual-action approach drastically reduces cycle times compared to single-head machines.

• Surface Protection Technology: To handle high-gloss, veneered, or delicate laminate materials, the machine features a full Air Flotation Support Table³. This creates a cushion of air that supports the workpiece during transport, effectively eliminating friction and preventing costly surface scratches on sensitive materials.

• ntelligent “Scan & Go” Workflow: The integrated Barcode Scanner reads drilling programs directly from panel labels⁴. This automation removes the risk of operator error and allows for rapid switching between different panel sizes and patterns without manual programming delays.

• Robust Clamping & Transport: Utilizing two high-speed pneumatic self-adjusting clamps, the machine secures workpieces with exceptional stability⁵. These smart clamps automatically adjust to panel dimensions—from small drawer parts ($200 \times 30\text{mm}$) up to large panels ($2400 \times 1200\text{mm}$)—ensuring precision accuracy even at high travel speeds of 130m/min.

• User-Friendly ExciCAM Controller: The intuitive Windows-based interface bridges advanced technological capabilities with user-friendly operation⁷. It makes sophisticated 6-sided machining techniques accessible for operators of varying skill levels, streamlining the path from design to finished part.

Benefits of the EHS 1224-E:

• Efficiency: Drastically enhances workflow by drilling all six sides in one pass, removing the need for manual flipping.

• Precision: Delivers consistent accuracy with a heavy-duty industrial frame and high-speed servo transport.

• Versatility: Capable of handling a diverse range of panel sizes, from small drawer fronts to full-height wardrobe sides.

• Quality Protection: Air flotation technology ensures that premium materials leave the machine in pristine condition, reducing waste.

• Compact Footprint: Delivers the output of a much larger through-feed line while occupying a footprint of just 3850 x 2150mm.
