The Balestrini Idea and detail of its capabilities.

SCM’s Balestrini technology offers high-performance machining centres with numeric control, designed for specialised applications such as chairs, tables, curved cabinet doors, furniture and design objects.

These centres are known for their compact size, heavy-duty structure, and multi-purpose operating units, which ensure high precision and flexibility when processing complex-shaped elements.

Balestrini Power

The Balestrini Power is a 5-axes machining centre ideal for machining solid wood elements such as chairs, tables, stairs, railings, curved kitchen doors, musical instruments, sports equipment, and design furniture accessories.

Equipped with multi-head machining units, all necessary tools are always ready for use, ensuring unmatched machining speed. For more complex operations that require heavy-duty stock removal, the machine can also be equipped with a PX5 single electro-spindle.

The machine’s design features a fixed gantry structure and a high vertical axis stroke, allowing the processing of work pieces up to 920 mm in height with exceptional accuracy. The new CE protection enclosure with horizontal sliding doors provides both safety and optimal ergonomics throughout all working phases.

Balestrini Power can be configured with various solutions tailored to maximize productivity, including bars or multifunction worktables based on customer needs.

The 21.5-inch touch screen Eye-M console allows for the use of Maestro Active CNC software, which is installed on all SCM machining centres. This software simplifies the operator’s job by monitoring all necessary information in real time.

The Smart Pro 5-axes CAD/CAM software helps generate parts and processes, as well as programming and simulating within a single environment, reducing machining execution times significantly.

Integrated with the SCM Maestro Connect IoT platform, the machine visualises, analyses, and monitors all machine data, which is essential for boosting productivity while reducing operational, energy, and maintenance costs.

The worktable of the Balestrini Power is designed to accommodate various workpiece locking devices, such as Combi, Jig-Free, CSR, and suction cups. These devices adapt perfectly to elements of any shape, ensuring optimal workpiece stability during machining.

For customers who require a compact machine that offers complete safety, the Balestrini Power also features a CE protection enclosure with vertical sliding doors, ensuring the highest level of reliability in all working conditions.

The “lathe-axis” interpolated tail and tailstock system is available for processing long workpieces with cylindrical symmetry, allowing for greater creativity and flexibility in design.

Balestrini Idea

The Balestrini Idea is a 5-axes machining centre designed for internal and external furniture manufacturers who demand ease of use, flexibility, and power in a machine with a compact footprint of just 13.5 square metres. Despite its small size, the machine delivers exceptional performance, capable of processing bulky pieces, even in a pendular cycle.

The fixed gantry structure eliminates vibrations, allowing high machining speeds while ensuring the best quality end products. The Balestrini Idea can be configured with a bars worktable or, alternatively, an aluminium multifunction worktable. Additionally, it can be equipped with one or two independent mobile worktables to suit customer requirements.

With the CS44 and CS33 revolver machining units, all necessary tools are always ready for use, guaranteeing unparalleled machining speed. The 21.5” touch screen Eye-M console and Maestro Active CNC software simplify operations by providing real-time monitoring of essential information.

Smart Pro 5-axes CAD/CAM software allows for efficient part generation, programming, and simulation within a unified environment, reducing machining times.

Like other SCM machines, the Balestrini Idea integrates the SCM Maestro Connect IoT platform to visualize, analyse, and monitor machine data, increasing productivity while reducing operational, energy, and maintenance costs.

The Balestrini Idea’s worktable can be equipped with various workpiece locking devices, including Combi, Jig-Free, CSR, and suction cups, offering optimal flexibility for processing elements of all shapes.

For customers requiring a machine with compact dimensions and complete safety, a CE protection enclosure with vertical sliding doors is also available, always ensuring reliable operation and safety.

The machine also features a “lathe-axis” interpolated tail and tailstock system, allowing the processing of long workpieces with cylindrical symmetry, further enhancing its versatility for creative projects.

Connexus tenoners

The new Connexus tenoners and mortisers are CNC sectorial machines, specifically designed to produce tables, chairs, and kitchen doors. These machines aim to reduce the complexity of processes, consumption, and costs associated with small batch production.

Fitted with a 4.5-kW machining unit, Connexus machines guarantee superior performance, while their unique compact design ensures a clean external environment and complete operator protection without compromising ease of use. These features make the Connexus range an ideal solution for businesses looking for flexibility and productivity in solid wood machining.
