Manufacturers looking to process non-ferrous metals in low to high volume manufacturing environments will benefit from a standard list of features that make METALWORKER CNC Router among the best machines in the market specifically engineered for high precision part production in nested-based CNC operations.
METALWORKER was designed exclusively for end users looking to process small to large-sized sheets of material including aluminum, copper, zinc, metal composite and more. End users looking for the top of line CNC router machine designed to maximize quality, speed, and precision will benefit from the standard set of features.
To maximize quality and speed while minimizing vibrations generated through the cutting process, METALWORKER is configured with high performance components including:
Fast motion, a power user interface and multiple size configurations are some of the tailored features available on METALWORKER.

METALWORKER is equipped with a set of standard features that are driven solely to maximize the quality of parts and productivity of the machine. Standard features include; high performance servo motors and helical drive systems, an industrial 22” touch screen that powers AAG MOVE™ CNC control software and more.
Spindle options include 5, 10 & 15 horsepower with ISO30 and HSK type Tool holders. Choose from high torque low RPM spindles to high-speed devices running at up to 40,000 RPM for higher throughput
A rigid, welded steel frame, fitted with an aluminum deck, creates a strong structure to support the most demanding processes.
For situations that benefit from the greater mass of a steel, heavy duty steel gantries are standard.
The standard helical rack and pinion provides superior highspeed performance delivering greater accuracy, smoother cutting and quieter running. For high-volume applications where cycle times need to be kept to a minimum, the powerful servo drives can increase productivity.
All METALWORKER machines have high-pressure aluminum zoned vacuum beds to maximize hold-down and reduce waste.
Operate the machine through an industrial touch screen display which comes mounted on a multi-purpose stand that can be used to store machine-specific accessories.
Access and control all machine-related features through AAG MOVE ™. The software's user-friendly layout gives operators quick access to all features, including managing of your tool database, files, work offsets, zones, and more.
An automatic tool-length sensor maintains accurate and consistent cut depths and is standard on all METALWORKER machines.
Select from a range of high-power pumps or blowers to suit machine size and application requirements.
4000 Series: 60" Width, Lengths from 48" to 144"
5000 Series: 72" Width. Lengths from 120" to 168"
6000 Series: 85" Width. Lengths from 120" to 144"
Spindle options include 5, 10 & 15 horsepower with ISO30 and HSK type Tool holders. Choose from high torque low RPM spindles to high-speed devices running at up to 40,000 RPM for higher throughput.
The 7, 21, or 33 position tool changer provides an easy and convenient method of running jobs requiring multiple routing tools. The carousel is mounted on the gantry to minimize toolchange time.
When using routing spindles the removal of dust and debris is vital for good quality edge finish and for health and safety. The AXYZ High Capacity and Universal 5Y Pressure Feet are designed to assist material hold down and also maximize extraction under all types of cutting conditions.
Pneumatically operated steel pop-up pins are useful for ensuring repeatable material placement. The number and positioning of the pins is fully customizable.
Certain materials, in particular Aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, often cut better with a small amount of lubricant or coolant. The Unist Mister option will automatically apply a pre-set amount to the tool during cutting and is compatible with all pressure feet options.
