We shared experience on machine configuration and production planning with customers around common hole patterns in panel furniture.
Discussion focused on several points: how mixed production of multiple panel sizes can cut changeover time; how parts with dense hole patterns can raise throughput through simultaneous multi-spindle machining; and how CNC programs reduce errors from manual marking and positioning.
Different panels and processes place quite different demands on a machine, so selection should be based on the actual product mix and capacity targets rather than spindle count alone.
