Through-feed CNC machine KDT KD‑610Z

Two automatic clamps, moving at up to 140 m/min, dramatically shorten the work cycle compared with other through‑feed CNCs on the market. Guide lengths of 3900 mm (model 610) or 5600 mm (model 612) greatly reduce the need to re‑clamp the workpiece, further speeding up the process. KDT through‑feed CNCs are therefore among the fastest machines available. Clamp engagement via a foot pedal or mobile pendant simplifies operation and increases flexibility.

The 5-position tool magazine for automatic tool changes also accommodates angle heads for machining door wings, side grooves, and other operations enabled by angle heads.

Configuration of the machining units for maximum flexibility and speed: two drilling units with 20 + 9 spindles (upper and lower), two routing units 5.5 kW + 3.5 kW (upper and lower), integrated grooving saw and automatic tool changer. Six-sided machining enables simultaneous processing of both sides without flipping the workpiece and more efficient through-feed routing and drilling without the need for specialized drilling heads or cutters. A highly valuable six-sided capability for furniture makers producing custom pieces.

The KDT WS Drill AI (KDT development) software is an exceptionally user-friendly tool for rapid, intuitive programming of any part to be produced. It handles drilling, routing, and cutting of holes, curves, and circles on all six sides—without flipping the workpiece. An AI-powered algorithm intelligently optimizes feed paths, clamp operations, tool selection, and calculates the most efficient machining trajectories; the result is true six-sided machining that even the most seasoned carpenters will admire. Built-in in standard equipment, the process simulator provides accurate verification for complex operations and reliably predicts cycle times. Through its post-processor, the software interfaces with all leading furniture design systems—such as MegaTischler, Corpus 3D, Imos, and others. Supported formats—DXF, XML, BPP, MPR, CIX, SCX, BAN, and PDX—add significant value to many production workflows. Powerful statistics, a machine maintenance communicator, and numerous additional features enhance flexibility, making KDT WS Drill AI one of the top software interfaces and a proud reason to call the machine a hybrid through-feed CNC.

The system for automatic inspection and measurement of a workpiece’s length, width and thickness greatly reduces the potential for human error when operating the CNC. Once the machine detects the actual dimensions of the panel, it can automatically adjust drill positions. The KDT software then ensures that all corrections remain within your predefined tolerances. If a workpiece falls outside those tolerances, the program automatically rejects it.

Our patented automatic retractable work tables enable efficient through-feed routing and allow the table to retract for under-table drilling. The front infeed and rear outfeed tables are air-cushioned for easier workpiece movement across the table and to protect delicate panel surfaces from damage.

The upper milling unit with automatic tool change features two independent air‐pressure plates that ensure smooth sliding and a stable, firm grip during machining. Simultaneous air blow‐off continuously removes dust and chips, so even delicate surfaces (matte or high‐gloss) stay completely scratch-free.

The massive frame of the KDT 610 and 612 through-feed CNC machines is manufactured using advanced processes including robotic welding, annealing, shot blasting, and precision final machining. This top-quality construction ensures exceptional stability, enabling unrivaled machining accuracy, high speeds, and rapid acceleration and deceleration. At the same time, the robust design extends the machine’s service life and significantly reduces wear, guaranteeing long-term reliability and outstanding results at high productivity.
