Balestrini Idea (gantry 5-axis for solid-wood elements; Idea 150 / Idea 2, etc.)

industrial

The Balestrini Idea is CMS's fixed-gantry 5-axis machining center dedicated to solid-wood elements such as chair and furniture components, with one or two independent mobile tables enabling pendulum cycles. B rotation is ±120° (LI11 head) or continuous 360° (CS33/CS44 revolver heads) with C to ±370° and rapids to 90 m/min. Its compact ~13.5 m² footprint still accommodates voluminous workpieces.
