Automation for

compromise on quality
JAMES YARDE, YARDE GUITARS
“On our old setup, every tool change stopped the workflow. Probing, resetting, checking offsets. Over and over. With this system, a full job runs unattended. That alone saves hours per day.”
TIM STARK, MANSON GUITARS
“Entry-level machines drift. Cuts vary.
Depths change. Tolerances move.
This system produces identical parts every run.
That eliminates rework and mental overhead.”

THE STEP UP
WHY BUILDERS MOVE UP FROM ENTRY-LEVEL MACHINES
“The reason we ordered the 5.0 ROBOTICS system was time.
With our previous setup, tool changes were constant, sometimes every 20–30 seconds.”
But, the extra power and strength we have in the new machine has just tightened everything up.
Clean cuts, even more accuracy and production times slashed.
The support we've had in setting up the machine and afterwards has been absolutely second to none!
I cannot recommend this machine enough no matter what industry you're in.”

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

Carbon fiber and composite materials
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.

CHOOSE YOUR BASE
The foundation everything else builds on.
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

-
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.
Why instrument makers
chose this system
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
“The reason we ordered the 5.0 ROBOTICS system was time.
With our previous setup, tool changes were constant, sometimes every 20–30 seconds.”
“Now we load a body, hit go, and continue working elsewhere.
Production times dropped immediately, and the workflow is far smoother.”
“The machine is incredibly solid. Clean cuts, higher accuracy, and the confidence to push it harder when needed.”
- Tim Stark, Head of Design and Production, Manson Guitar Works
“This completely changed how I think about guitar production.
What impressed me most wasn’t speed, it was control.
The precision and repeatability mean I get the same result every time, without second-guessing the process.”
“CNC isn’t the enemy. Uncontrolled process is.
This system gives me consistency without taking craftsmanship away.”
- James Yarde, Instrument Maker
“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.”

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.
let’s talk about
money
This system is not for everyone.
If your workshop cannot generate at least €500 in monthly profit,
this machine is not a smart purchase.
And that’s okay. It’s built for serious builders.
But if it can, let’s do the math.
A €50,000 system paid back at €500 per month takes 100 months.
That’s the slowest possible scenario, assuming nothing changes.
In reality, nothing stays the same.
By removing manual tool changes, reducing setup time,
and allowing the machine to run while you work elsewhere,
most instrument makers increase effective output by 2–5×
Let’s stay conservative.
If your workshop currently generates €2,000 per month,
and automation doubles that to €4,000, the system pays for itself
in just over two years.
At 3× efficiency, the payback period shortens significantly.
At 5×, the machine stops being a cost and becomes leverage.
And that doesn’t even account for the hidden gains:
Less fatigue.
Fewer mistakes.
More consistency.
More time spent on craftsmanship instead of babysitting processes.
This system is not for everyone.
But if your bottleneck is time, people, consistency, or repeatability,
this machine removes friction from all of them.
For workshops ready to move forward,
we currently offer a 10% configuration incentive for instrument makers.
The real question isn’t what the machine costs.
It’s what your current workflow is already costing you every month.

SAVE TIME AND MONEY
TIME IS THE REAL COST
LABOR WITHOUT PAYROLL
CONSISTENCY THAT SCALES
Manual setups, tool changes, and rework slow everything down.
This system runs unattended once jobs are proven, freeing hours every day for higher-value work.
If the machine is cutting, you are not waiting.
Hiring skilled operators is expensive and risky.
Training takes months. Turnover resets progress.
This system replaces repetitive labor with consistent output, allowing small teams to operate like larger shops without adding headcount.
Cheap machines cut parts.
Industrial machines hold tolerances, batch after batch.
Repeatability removes scrap, reduces rework, and makes delivery times predictable. That’s what allows a workshop to grow without chaos.
