2020 Homag T 700 BOF 712/32/18/A

2020 Homag BOF 712/32/18/A (Homag Centateq T-700/Profi)

3-axis CNC pod-and-rail machining center designed for woodworking, pod-and-rail processing of panels, doors, and components. 

It features a twin shuttle (pendulum) table setup for continuous operation—one table machines while the other loads/unloads. The “/32/18” in the model designation typically refers to the working field dimensions (approx. 3,200 mm X / 1,828 mm Y). The “/A” indicates advanced automatic features like pod/rail positioning.

Key Specifications

• Working Field / Processing Area:

• X-axis: 126” (3,200 mm)

• Y-axis: 72” (1,828 mm) per table/field

• Z-axis stroke: 12.8” (325 mm) for routing; ~7.3” (185 mm) for boring

• Maximum processing area: Approximately 6’ x 10’ per table (twin independent tables for shuttle/pendulum operation) 

• Machining Heads (Dual-head configuration common):

• 2x Independent Routing Spindles: 15 kW (≈20 HP) each, HSK F63 tool holder, variable speed (typically 1,250–24,000 RPM). Water-cooled or air-cooled depending on year/config. 

• 2x Boring Units (Vertical/Horizontal): Total ≈31 drilling spindles across both units. Typical per unit: 21 vertical quick-change spindles (e.g., 13 in X / 8 in Y orientation), 10 horizontal (e.g., 3+3 in X, 2+2 in Y), plus 1x 100 mm grooving/saw in X-direction. 

• Tool Changer: 10-position ATC per head (total 20 positions in dual-head setups). 

• Table System: Twin pod-and-rail shuttle tables with automatic pod/rail positioning. Pods are movable and configurable for flexible part holding. 

• Feed Rates (approximate): X/Y up to 426 FPM (fast traverse); Z up to 66 FPM. 

• Vacuum System: Typically 2x Busch vacuum pumps (e.g., 10 HP each or 2x 100 m³/hr). Zoned vacuum with perimeter safety system.
