Consistency in finishing is an issue with most Cabinet and Millwork companies across the country. Our success in the area has been due to our close association and team work with both the manufacturer, Loewer in Germany whom is celebrating their 150 anniversary this Friday the 17th of June and our customers. No two companies have exactly the same issues relating to finishing we have found over the past many years. At CNC Automation we have invested heavily in our test lab having the machinery , abrasives and finishing equipment in operation so we can simulate the process thus making the installation in the field much easier and profitable to our customers in the shortest time frame.

CNC Automation has spent over 5 years developing abrasives and techniques to best utilize the brush sanding techniques to suit the needs of many applications such as MDF Door sanding, Solid wood cabinet and entry door sanding, Moulding and aluminum extrusion sanding etc. These Abrasives and more are offered at http://www.shopcnconline.com

We at CNC believe that our success is measured by our repeat orders from our valued customers. For this to happen we need to make sure that we understand the needs of our customers and use our experience to assure the path from cost to profit is as quick as possible on our customers bottom lines. Training and looking outside of the box are also key factors to the long term benefits that our customers get when purchasing from CNC Automation.

Adding value to the machine purchase is what CNC is all about.

Graig Robinson, CNC Automation Maritime Regional Manager, is pleased to announce another Thermwood installation in New Brunswick.

Congratulations on your New Thermwood
CabinetShop 43 Atelier Landry !

Using the combined installation efforts of the CNC Service Staff and Stiles Finishing Experts, we are pleased to announce hat we have another customer up and running after just one week.

This is not only due to our product and application knowledge, but all of the preparation performed during the order process and prior to install. As many already know, the spray system is only a part of the solution. It is the coordination of all of the suppliers, the paint, the spray guns, pumps and of course our valued customers needs and cooperation, that at the end of the day, makes for a smooth and successful installation.

 
At CNC Automation, we don't sell machinery, we supply solutions !

I am very happy to say that we have once again had a very successful Open House 2010 event thanks to all of our valued suppliers and customers. There is nothing more pleasing than seeing the interaction of all of our customers and their comments back to us as to the knowledge they gained during the two day event.

The CNC Automation team spent many weeks to put together the fully operational production facility so that all who attended could see exactly how each piece of machinery worked. We made the official launch of the Kentwood line having a rip saw, moulder and grinder being demonstrated. Stiles had seven specialists at customers' disposal to answer questions and present the benefits of the Kentwood range of products.

During each day we had open workshops surrounding our family of software products, eCabinets Systems, DXF Buddy, and Panelmetrix. Representatives from ArtCAM and 20/20 Technologies were also available to show their products and how they link to the Thermwood CNC routers that we had running continuously throughout the day.

Greg Olma, The owner of Olmabuilt Cabinetry and Millwork on Denman Island ,B.C. made this Donation tree on his Thermwood Model CS45. The machines only limit is your imagination.

CNC Automation is always working with our customers to assist in getting the best value out of every product we offer. It takes great ideas combined with knowledge and support to make things happen.

CNC Automation is holding an open house event on June 10 and 11, 2010 from 9 am to 5 pm both days at our St. Zotique, Que., headquarters.

The event marks the official launch of our new Canadian Solid Wood Technology Division as well as the Kentwood by Stiles program of woodworking machinery. A number of machines will be in operation during the event, including a Kentwood 6 heard moulder, a Kentwood Profile Grinder and a Kentwood Multiple Rip Saw. In addition, Stiles solid wood experts will be on hand both event days.

On the panel processing side, we will have a complete nested based manufacturing cell in operation. The cell will consist of a Thermwood CNC router, Fravol & Lange edgebanders (straight and contour), Omal dowel drilling and inserting machine as well as a Giben computerized panel saw.

The open house will also feature finishing solutions in operation including Timesavers wide belt sanders, Loewer profile and moulding finishing sanders as well as a Makor surface staining and coating machine.

Representatives from hardware, software, tooling and dust collector manufacturers will also be on hand to address application questions.

Here is a video excerpt from the HGTV Canada program "House of Bryan", showing the creation of MDF door panels and the installation of custom cabinets for host Bryan Baeumler's house.  The NC code for the nested MDF door and drawer panels was created using Panelmetrix.

The machine making the door panels and all of the cabinets shown is a Thermwood CabinetShop 45 with a 5×10 table, and is owned by Top Notch Cabinets, of Oakville, Ontario.
