The EP Series delivers high performance cutting accuracy with a 120 m/min servo-controlled carriage at significantly lower capital cost than European alternatives with full UK delivery, installation, operator training for two operatives, and lifetime remote support included as standard.
Built on a heavy-duty welded frame with precision rack-and-pinion drive, the EP Series handles MDF, chipboard, plywood, laminated boards and composites across four cutting lengths from 2,900mm to 4,300mm. Whether you’re running single-sheet joinery work or high-volume furniture panel production, the EP Series fits the workflow.
The EP Series uses a servo-driven rack and pinion carriage system to deliver the ultimate cutting accuracy across every cut. Unlike belt-driven alternatives, there is no stretch, no slip and no positional drift ensuring repeatable precision whether you are cutting a single kitchen carcass panel or running a full day of furniture board production.
The perforated air flotation tables lift panels on a cushion of air, reducing friction to near zero and protecting surface finishes during feeding. Large format boards – including full 2440 x 1220mm kitchen and furniture panels – glide into position without scratching or requiring excessive operator effort. Adjustable support across the full table length accommodates boards of any thickness
The heavy-duty pressure beam automatically adjusts clamping force to match the height of the material stack – securing everything from a single 18mm board to a full 100mm cut package. Integrated sensors ensure consistent, even pressure across the full cutting length, eliminating panel movement and delivering clean, square cuts every time. Essential for high-volume joinery and furniture panel production.
The saw carriage carries both the 450mm main saw blade and the independent 200mm scoring blade, driven at up to 120 m/min by a precision servo motor. The scoring blade pre-scribes the underside of each panel before the main blade cuts through, delivering a chip-free finish on laminates, veneers and melamine-faced boards critical for kitchen cabinet and fitted furniture production. Both blades are independently adjustable for height and depth.
Every EP Series machine is built on a heavy-duty welded structural steel bed, stress-relieved before final machining to eliminate long-term distortion. Weighing up to 6,000 kg, the machine bed absorbs vibration that lighter machines transmit directly into the cut a key factor in maintaining high accuracy throughout a full production shift.
The EP Series is controlled via a dedicated industrial PC running Windows, with intuitive machine control software designed for minimal training. ECAM Saw optimisation software is included as standard, allowing operators to import cutting plans directly, maximise sheet yield and eliminate manual re-entry errors. Integrated label printing is also included as standard enabling part identification and traceability straight from the machine, without additional hardware.
The programmable pusher beam is fitted with multiple pneumatic grippers that firmly secure the material stack during every feed cycle. Each gripper is individually pneumatically actuated, clamping evenly across the full width of the panel without surface damage, whether handling a single veneered board or a stack of kitchen carcass panels. The result is accurate, repeatable feed positioning on every cut, across every shift.
 Industry-standard Delta ASDR servo drives deliver fast, accurate response with built-in diagnostics, ensuring consistent performance and straightforward fault-finding. The Delta DVP series PLC provides reliable machine logic control, while Schneider Electric circuit breakers protect every circuit a combination chosen for long-term reliability and easy serviceability. Clean cable management and clearly labelled terminal blocks mean any qualified UK electrician can work confidently on the machine, and with Delta spare parts readily available across the UK and Ireland, downtime is kept to a minimum.
The EP Series features lift bar cycle activation as standard the operator raises the front bar to initiate the cutting cycle, keeping both hands clear of the cutting zone throughout. This ergonomic, two-handed safety approach speeds up production by allowing smooth cycle starts even when positioning large kitchen or furniture panels, while meeting current UK and Irish machinery safety requirements. A feature that competing machines often charge extra for included as standard on every EP Series
The EP Series Beam Saws deliver exceptional cutting accuracy through high‑precision rack‑and‑pinion drive systems and a powerful 18.5 kW main saw motor. Combined with a V‑ribbed belt transmission and high‑speed blade rotation, the system ensures stable, quiet operation and consistently clean, precise cuts across all panel types.
A servo‑driven saw carriage enables controlled, repeatable cutting at speeds up to 120 m/min, ideal for both single‑sheet and multi‑panel production. The integrated air‑flotation tables reduce friction during material feeding, while adjustable clamping ensures secure handling of a wide range of board sizes and thicknesses.
With cutting lengths ranging from 2900mm to 4300mm and footprints scaling from 5000mm up to 6500mm depending on the model, the EP Series combines heavy‑duty performance with practical space utilisation. Each machine is engineered to maximise working efficiency while fitting seamlessly into workshops and manufacturing environments of various sizes.
The EP Series delivers high performance cutting accuracy with a 120 m/min servo-controlled carriage — at significantly lower capital cost than European alternatives — with full UK delivery, installation, operator training for two operatives, and lifetime remote support included as standard.
Built on a heavy-duty welded frame with precision rack-and-pinion drive, the EP Series handles MDF, chipboard, plywood, laminated boards and composites across four cutting lengths from 2,900mm to 4,300mm. Whether you’re running single-sheet joinery work or high-volume furniture panel production, the EP Series fits the workflow.
The EP Series is controlled via ECAM Saw optimisation software, allowing operators to import cutting plans directly, maximise sheet yield and eliminate manual re-entry errors. Integrated label printing is included as standard — enabling part identification and traceability straight from the machine without additional hardware.
Every EP Series purchase includes full UK delivery and installation by Powell CNC engineers, operator training for two operatives, a 12-month parts and labour warranty, and lifetime remote diagnostics via ethernet, email, telephone and WhatsApp. Finance is available for UK registered businesses.

“The EP Series sits at the heart of our production workflow. We load our daily jobs automatically from our MES system, and every panel that comes off the saw leaves with a QR code carrying the edgebanding information and drilling data. One scan at the six-sided drill loads the programme automatically. It has transformed how we identify and move parts through the workshop.”
