CNC Division

CNC panels

shape, groove, drill

The manufacturing industry demands ever increasing levels of accuracy and quality, none more so than CNC detailing.

At Starbank, we consistently invest in the latest technology as well as operator training so that we are always producing CNC panels at the highest level. Starbank has invested in 22 high-performance Homag CNC machines to date. As a result, playing a crucial role in ensuring continued quality and growth of the business over the years.

It is this attitude for staying ahead of the curve that has helped carve out the reputation of high quality, value for money panel products that our customer’s associate with Starbank.

Customer requirements are always growing more complex, with varied products and shorter delivery periods. Our CNC panel division offers a manufacturing solution which is both flexible and capable of dealing with all of our customer’s needs, without compromise.

Our varied range of Homag CNC panel technology not only makes us highly competitive in the market place but flexible enough to take on higher production projects as well as batch one prototypes if needed

a skilled production team & efficient machinery delivers high quality finishes.

Homag Centetaq E-700

The Centateq E-700 is a powerful gantry CNC machine, with the benefit of an added EVA/PO edge banding unit. Allowing us to run a variety of materials, including the challenging 3D acrylic edging. Setting us apart from our competition. We opted for a four-axis model as this gives us the most flexibile production options.

Quality is always a critical driver for Starbank. The power of the spindle heads is paramount to the performance of the machines when running a multi-shift operation. This, coupled with the large bed size gives us a unique advantage in the CNC panel market.

Homag Centetaq T-700

Over the years, market demand has moved to smaller batch production. As a result, we needed a machine that was more flexible and efficient in handling batch size one as well as larger production runs. Hence our decision to opt for the Homag Centateq T-700 CNC.

Another reason for selecting the T-700 was the growth of compact laminate components that we are now producing each week. To successfully manufacture high-end detailed components and large-volume worksurfaces with this material, requires a large, robust and technically advanced machining centre.

You only get this performance with the big-gantry CNC’s and the T-700 is perfect for that. As with the E-700, we specified a four-axis model with extra tooling carousels for bespoke applications to give us the capacity, flexibility and edge we wanted.

Homag E-700 Pro DUO

A twin with a difference. Our very latest E-700 now features the upgraded Pro Duo edgebanding head. This latest investment enables us to offer both our Standard BAZ Edge but crucially our adhesive free ZEROedge finish.

Using Homag’s airTEC system which effectively welds the edgeband to the panel we completely eliminate the adhesive joint which improves not only the aestethic of the finish ( which is seamless ) but also the ability of germs or dirt to enter the glueline joint which improves infection control and longevity of the panel. Higher heat, steam and moisture resistance comes as standard.

For more information on the capabilities of this system please contact the sales team.

The twin loading gantries function independently from one another, allowing our operators to load the next panel whilst the first one is being machined. The BAZ unit offers outstanding panel quality by combining a high standard of finish together with a flexible batch size one or high capacity output.

Homag BHX drilling

The Homag BHX series of Drilling and routing CNC’s offer compact machines that have been specifically designed for low batch size to medium batch size component manufacture.

A flexible and easy to set up machine that offers increased efficiency to our schedule and the production demands on the CNC department.

Capable of vertical as well as horizontal drilling and grooving thanks to the vacuum free clamping, helps to make it one of our fastest processing CNC centres.

Homag BMG 512

Our Homag BMG 512 can be programmed as both a 3 & 5 axis CNC machine.

Through discussions with Homag about our proposed future direction as well as our customers needs, we ended up specifying the largest most sophisticated model that Homag have produced for the UK market.

With this machines dedicated matrix bed and laser guidance we are able to precision cut like never before. In addition, we entered them realm of 5 axis CNC machining, further expanding the service offer for our customers.
