How to choose a cabinet CNC router
This series is the nesting cell for kitchen and wardrobe sheets — not a general CNC router explainer. Pick bed, hold-down and whether you still need a separate ATC for door programs.
Nesting cell vs computer panel saw
A computer panel saw rips stacked boards to size. A cabinet CNC router machines each nested part (cut-out, boring, grooving) from a sheet already on the vacuum table. Many plants run both.
1325 or a larger bed
1325 (1300 × 2500 mm / 4×8 ft) covers most export cabinet jobs — the catalog cell is the IMCR-CB1325. Choose 1530 / 2030 / 2040 when you nest 5×10 or oversized boards.
Who this series is for — and who it is not
Buy this series if most days you explode kitchen, wardrobe or export furniture orders into a nested sheet, then cut, drill and groove the boxes on a vacuum table.
Do not start here if the main job is advertising plastics, relief carving, or lock/hinge pockets. Those are ATC CNC routers, 5-axis CNC routers, or a CNC door lock mortiser. A general CNC router explainer lives on the family page — this series is only the nesting cell.
Materials and thickness
Daily stock is 12–25 mm MDF, particleboard, plywood and laminated furniture board. Zoned vacuum holds a sealed sheet; unsealed solid-wood slabs and very thin foam need a different table or extra zones. If more than half the week is acrylic or ACM signage, spec the ATC series instead of forcing those sheets onto a carcass nest.
Software and daily output
Machines accept G-code from Cabinet Vision, Alphacam, Vectric and similar nesting posts. We match the post at commissioning — you do not rewrite the cut-list package to buy this cell. A single 1325 with one operator is limited more by loading and sheet changes than by cut time. If you need labeled, auto-loaded output, say so; that is still this cabinet CNC router series, not a different machine family.
When to look at the ATC series instead
The IMCR-CB1325 already changes tools for cut, drill and groove on the nest. Look at ATC CNC routers when the main job is multi-tool door and mixed operation programs rather than full-sheet nesting.
Loading, labeling and outfeed
For a full cabinet line add infeed loading, optional pre-labeling, and outfeed to edge banding. We size that with the machine, not as a separate guess.
What to send for a layout
Send sheet size, thickness and how many cabinets you run per day. We match 1325 or a larger bed and a vacuum layout. Request a quote, or browse installed machines.
