Thermwood’s AutoProcessor 43 Machining Center is an all-new complete, nested-based, CNC routing system for machining cabinet boxes, custom furniture and basically any nested type of sheet product.
AutoProcessor 43
The AutoProcessor 43 is fully automatic from labeling and positioning of the sheets, to machining and off-loading the machined parts.
With each cycle, the machine simultaneously and automatically:
- Labels each part area on the sheet
- Moves and automatically positions the sheet on the table
- Machines the material while labeling the next sheet
- Simultaneously off-loads the finished parts and reloads the next sheet
- Continuously repeats the process

Well Equipped with Features/Options
12 HP (9KW) SPINDLE
A direct driven spindle with a speed range up to 24,000 RPM. the High-Frequency Spindle is cooled with an electric fan for quieter running and contains ceramic bearings for longer life and for less maintenance. The 12 HP (9kw) spindle provides the user with a heavy-duty, precision spindle for high performance and reliability. Standard
ROTARY AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGER
10 Position Rotary Automatic Tool Changer Includes (10) ISO-30 Tool Holders and collets. Max tool size is 2″ (50mm) in diameter and 3.25″ (83mm) in length. Standard (optional HSK63F)
AUTOMATIC CNC LABELER SYSTEM
The Automatic CNC Labeler System labels the sheet before the machining operation. The labels assist with sorting and assembling finished parts. Optional
AUTOMATIC LOAD/UNLOAD SYSTEM
Automatically loads sheets up to 60″ x 120″ (1.5m x 3.0m) to assist operator with unloading the machine and automatically position the sheet. Each individual sheet is elevated and positioned by a series of programmable vacuum cups. A steel rake is mounted in front of the router motor and travels with the machine gantry allowing parts to be removed off the front of the table. Dust extraction/table sweep occurs during the rake process. Standard
FIVE SPINDLE DRILL BANK
The drill unit is a vertical boring head with five vertical spindles. The spindles are on 32mm centers. The drill unit can be independent. Optional
VACUUM PUMP
Universal Vacuum System is a unique method for holding panels to the table top for machining. A sheet of MDF is used as a work surface on the top of the table. The high flow pump vacuums through the work surface, holding the part to the table. Pumps are available in different sizes. Optional
