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.

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.
