In December Trojanwood Ltd received a delivery of a brand new, high tech woodworking CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Router. It had been shipped all the way from Italy and weighing 3.5 tons it was carefully maneuvered and installed in the workshop in Spalding. The 4-axis SCM Universal 3615 has a working area of 10ft by 5ft and is capable of cutting panel and solid wood components as well as plastics.

It can cut components at far greater accuracy and consistency than a skilled maker is capable of. This machine is not designed to replace our skilled makers, but to aid production and to reduce the time they have to spend on machining. This allows them to focus on highly skilled tasks such as hand finishing the products off to the highest of standards.

Here are a few examples of what has already been done.

As it’s a new toy for our makers here, it has also been a steep learning curve which has meant that the past few months have been challenging and hugely rewarding for James Thornley and Steve Beba, who have taken on the roles of CNC programmers.

Trojanwood Ltd as a company would like to thank the highly professional SCM engineers and trainers who have been extremely helpful and understanding in helping to develop our skills. The machine has dramatically improved our capacity, and is a great addition to our production armoury.

We are looking forward to furthering our skills and taking on new challenges in the coming months.
