EXECUTIVE SERIES 16
STARTING AT $46,495.00 | €500/mo
The Executive Series 16 is a full-scale industrial CNC system built for high-throughput, continuous production environments. Designed for factories and production-focused workshops, it delivers the rigidity, stability, and automation readiness required for long unattended runs and predictable output at scale.
Built on the same modular platform as the Executive Series 8, Series 16 extends the architecture for larger work envelopes, higher material throughput, and deeper automation integration.

MATERIALS
COMMONLY MACHINED
Material capability depends on tooling,
spindle configuration, and workholding.

Resins and layered composites
Plastics and synthetic materials
Specialty materials used in INSTRUMENTS
FROM DAY 1
THIS IS WHAT CHANGES
From raw material to repeatable geometry
without REMOVING HUMAN control.
Geometry becomes consistent before craftsmanship begins
Necks, bodies, pockets, and cavities start identical,
every time.
Manual work moves downstream,
not upstream
Luthiers focus on voicing, finishing, and assembly
not rough shaping.
Output increases
without hiring or retraining
The machine absorbs repetition
while your process stays familiar.
Once geometry is controlled, the question becomes
scale, flexibility, and longevity.
BUILT AS A PLATFORM
NOT A SINGLE-PURPOSE MACHINE
A modular architecture that scales
with your production, not against it.
High rigidity steel frame
Closed loop servo motors
2.2kw Double ceramic bearings spindle
Industrial grade standard components
FLOATING DUST SHOE
Clean machining. Clear visibility. Consistent results.
EACH MACHINE IS EQUIPPED WITH A
FLOATING DUST SHOE
that follows the surface of the material during machining.
This ensures:
-
Continuous debris removal while cutting
-
Clear visibility of the toolpath
-
Reduced material buildup on the workpiece
-
Cleaner finishes and improved consistency
The floating design allows the shoe to adapt to surface variations without affecting cutting accuracy.
Dust extraction hardware itself is supplied by the user, allowing each workshop to choose a system that fits their material, volume, and local requirements.
OPTIONAL MIST SUPPORT
The dust shoe also supports the use of mist cooling, a controlled mixture of distilled water and oil.
Mist provides:
-
Tool lubrication
-
Improved cooling during cutting
-
Extended tool life
-
BETTER SURFACE QUALITY ON DEMANDING MATERIALS
This is particularly useful for plastics, composites, and aluminum applications where heat control is critical.
TOOL CHANGe
EXPLAINED
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MTC AND QTC
MANUAL TOOL CHANGE (MTC)
Manual tool changing is the traditional approach most machinists start with.
The tool is clamped directly into the spindle, and each tool change requires:
-
Loosening and tightening the collet
-
Re-probing the tool length
-
Verifying offsets before continuing
Strengths:
-
Simple and easy to learn
-
Low initial cost
-
Encourages careful toolpath planning
Limitations:
-
Every tool change requires re-probing
-
Increased setup time for multi-tool jobs
-
Greater risk of inconsistency across operations
Quick Tool Change
bridges the gap between
fully manual and fully automated machining.
QUICK TOOL CHANGE (QTC)
Instead of changing tools directly in the spindle, tools are mounted in dedicated tool holders.
Each tool’s length is measured and stored once before machining begins.
During operation:
-
The machine moves to a predefined tool change position
-
The operator swaps tool holders quickly and repeatably
-
No re-probing is required for each tool change
Key advantages:
-
Dramatically reduced setup time compared to manual tool change
-
Consistent, repeatable tool offsets
-
Faster multi-tool workflows without automation complexity
-
Maintains full hands-on control
OUR EVERY MODEL

QUICK TOOL CHANGE
-
ITS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR PLATFORM.
ENABLING EFFICIENT MULTI-TOOL WORKFLOWS TODAY,
WHILE CREATING A SEAMLESS UPGRADE PATH
TO FULL AUTOMATION TOMORROW.
-
WHEN PRODUCTION DEMANDS INCREASE,
THE SAME MACHINE CAN BE UPGRADED TO
AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGE.
WITHOUT REPLACING THE BASE PLATFORM.
OPTIONAL UPGRADE
Just a natural progression from assisted efficiency to full automation.
AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGE (ATC)
For users who require:
-
Higher production volumes
-
Longer unattended runs
-
Fully automated workflows
Automatic Tool Change can be added as the next step.
no base replacement required.
ATC builds directly on the same platform
QTC removes interruption. ATC removes presence.
ADDITIONAL UPGRADEs
While the core platform is optimized for precision CNC machining,
additional upgrades are available for users with highly specific production needs.
SAFETY ENCLOSURE
A fully enclosed workspace designed to enhance operator safety, reduce noise levels, and contain chips, dust, and debris during machining operations.
Well suited for shared workshops, educational environments, and production spaces with stricter safety or compliance requirements.
6-AXIS ROBOTIC HAND
An advanced add-on for highly specialized workflows requiring automated part handling, repositioning, or complex multi-step operations.
Best suited for users with specific automation needs beyond standard CNC machining and traditional toolpath operations.
These upgrades are optional and intended for niche production cases.
Below, you can see both the 6-axis robotic hand and safety enclosure operating together on an Executive Series 8 system.
INTEGRATED
AUTOMATION CELL
This setup demonstrates the combination of a safety enclosure and a 6-axis robotic hand working alongside the CNC platform.
The enclosure provides a controlled, safe operating environment, while the robotic hand enables automated part handling and multi-step workflows.
This configuration is intended for highly specialized use cases where extended automation or unattended operation is required.
“Before this system, the bottleneck was always
manual intervention.
Now the machine runs predictably,
which lets the rest of the workshop stay in motion.”
“Accuracy stopped being something we had to
constantly check.
Once the job is set up,
the result is consistent from the first cut to the last.”
“The biggest gain wasn’t just faster cutting,
it was mental load.
I no longer have to
plan my day around standing next to the machine.”
“Tool handling and probing used to
interrupt flow constantly.
With multiple tools prepared in advance,
the process feels structured instead of reactive.”

Gantry Supports
FEA designed precision machined construction - the Gantry supports are machined form solid 6082T6 Alloy on a machining centre and have been optimized for max strength transfer into the bridge from the frame.
Gantry Clearance
As standard 170mm clearance and repositionable Z height allows for extension to 200mm clearance.
The Z axis has 200mm stroke - so spindle is moved fully up and out of the clearance zone.
