Processing a 5-meter wood panel is not about cutting speed – it is about keeping the panel flat and stationary while the tool moves. B140A uses a moving gantry: the panel stays clamped on a fixed table, the gantry travels overhead. No panel dragging, no flex, no repositioning errors.

Why does the gantry move instead of the table?

A moving-table machine needs 10 meters of floor space to process a 5-meter panel – the table travels the full length plus overtravel. B140A needs just over 5 meters. The panel stays clamped in one position, eliminating handling damage and keeping the workpiece flat. This replaces moving-table routers that require double the floor space and risk panel flex during travel.

What does the 4th axis add to wood routing?

3-axis routers cut from the top only – they cannot reach angled surfaces or undercuts without repositioning the workpiece. The 4th axis rotates the tool or the workpiece, enabling curved profiles, beveled edges and 3D relief carvings in one setup. This replaces 3-axis machines that require manual repositioning for angled features.

What size panels can this machine actually handle?

5,000mm in X, 3,000mm in Y and 1,500mm in Z – full sheets of plywood, solid wood panels, MDF and laminated boards. The fixed table supports the entire panel surface, preventing sagging over long spans. The moving gantry maintains rigidity across the full Y-travel, unlike cantilever designs that deflect at extreme positions.
