In the CNC woodworking industry, many components are specifically designed for specialized machinery. For example, vacuum pods, tool holders, and tool forks are used in routers; chain pads and glue pots are used in edgebanders, etc. Actually, a CNC woodworking machine includes a lot of transmission systems, hydraulic/pneumatic components, and electrical systems. All of them can find the right replacement CNC spare parts if you have a product picture with a clear model. Let’s discuss these CNC spare parts in the woodworking industry:

Transmission Systems:

1.Linear Bearing Block:  

Linear bearings, linear guide blocks, guide rail carriages, and linear guide sliders help two parts achieve straight-line motion. They enable smooth and efficient movement by reducing friction and wear between moving parts. For example, they can be used between the X-axis and Y-axis on a router. Brands like INA, Bosch Rexroth, Hiwin, THK, ABBA, and PMI are often used in woodworking. For instance, the ABBA BRC25A0 linear bearing, INA KWVE25-B-V1-G2 linear bearing block, and MSA30ESSFC linear block are sold well.

2. Linear Guide Rail:  

A linear guide rail works with linear bearing blocks to achieve low-friction linear motion. Normally, the brand of the linear bearing block is the same as the guide rail.

3. Synchronous Belt:  

Also called a timing belt, positive-drive belt, or toothed belt, it is used to transmit power between two rotating shafts while maintaining precise synchronization. It is often seen in router machines and edgebander machines. In woodworking, you can find brands like Gates and Mitsuboshi. If you have a picture with the model, you can find the right replacement synchronous belt.

4. Servo Motor:  

AC servo motors, servo electric motors, and servomotors can precisely control angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration. Brands like Yaskawa and Panasonic are widely used in woodworking.

5. Servo Driver:  

A servo driver (or servo amplifier) controls the servo motor by regulating power and providing feedback for precise motion. Normally, the brand is the same as the servo motor.

Electrical Systems:

1. PLC:  

A PLC is used to control the X, Y, and Z axes and spindle speed of CNC machine tools on routers. It can also be used on edgebanders to control the feeding system, glue pot system, trimming, and polishing.

2. Encoder:  

An encoder is a device that converts motion into an electrical signal. It can be used on the X-axis or Y-axis of a router machine or on an edgebander machine. Brands like Heidenhain and Omron are commonly used in woodworking.

3. Sensors (Include Limit Switch and Proximity Sensors):  

Sensors can detect changes in position, temperature, pressure, and other signals and send them to control systems. Limit switches detect physical movement, while proximity sensors detect the presence of objects without physical contact. You can find many sensors on edgebanders, as they have become super important components. We usually use brands like SICK, Omron, EUCHNER, and others.

Hydraulic/Pneumatic Components:

1. Cylinder:  

   
   

An air cylinder is a mechanical actuator that converts pneumatic power into linear motion. You can see lots of cylinders on edgebanders, normally from brands like Festo and AVENTICS.  

Homag 4035012208 cylinder is equal to AVENTICS 0822396205 cylinder.  

Homag 4035012152 cylinder is equal to Festo 14057 DZH-40-125-PPV-A pneumatic cylinder.

2. Solenoid Valve:  

A solenoid valve is used to control the flow of air or fluid by opening or closing a valve using an electric current. It is widely used in pneumatic systems. Common brands include AVENTICS, REXROTH, and SYM.
