Schnitzer 2 Axis 2 Unit Auto Loading Wood Lathe

The Schnitzer 2-Axis 2-Unit Auto Loading Wood Lathe is a CNC turning centre built for production woodworking where consistent profile accuracy and throughput are both required. The integrated auto-loading unit feeds workpieces directly into the turning unit without manual intervention, reducing cycle times and operator involvement across long production runs.

Two-axis CNC control — X-axis for radial tool movement and Z-axis for longitudinal travel — allows complex profiles to be turned repeatedly to the same specification. Programmes can be stored and recalled, making batch changeovers straightforward without requiring re-setting from scratch.

The combination of automated loading and CNC profile control makes this machine well suited to workshops producing turned components at volume, where manual lathes would introduce inconsistency or create a labour bottleneck.

Applications: spindle turning, table leg production, decorative turned components, batch production woodturning

Key Features:

— 2-unit configuration — separates the loading and turning functions, allowing continuous feeding without halting the turning cycle
— Automated workpiece loading and unloading — removes manual handling between cycles, reducing operator dependency and improving throughput
— X-axis CNC control — governs radial tool movement for accurate diameter and profile shaping
— Z-axis CNC control — governs longitudinal tool travel, enabling tapers, coves, and linear profile elements to be cut precisely
— CNC programme storage and recall — allows repeat batches to be run from saved programmes without reconfiguration
— Computer-controlled turning cycle — delivers consistent profile replication across the full length of a production run
— Designed for complex and intricate profiles — capable of producing decorative and functional turned forms that would require skilled manual operation on a conventional lathe
— Reduced manual labour requirement — automation of loading and profiling lowers the headcount needed to sustain production output
