Copy Router Machine
Introduction
A Copy Router Machine is a specialized machining system designed for routing, drilling, and slotting operations on aluminum and PVC profiles. By using mechanical or digital templates, the machine precisely copies predefined shapes and patterns onto workpieces, ensuring consistent and repeatable machining results.
Copy router machines are widely used in window and door manufacturing, especially for lock slots, handle holes, drainage channels, and hardware mounting operations.
Working Principle
The Copy Router Machine operates based on a template-guided or CNC-assisted copying mechanism. The profile is securely clamped onto the machine table, and the operator follows a template using a stylus or guide pin. The routing spindle simultaneously replicates the same movement on the workpiece.
In advanced models, pneumatic or servo systems support vertical and horizontal axis movements, allowing accurate and smooth machining. The spindle speed and feed rate are optimized to ensure clean cuts and high surface quality.
Key Components
High-Speed Routing Spindle: Provides smooth and precise machining
Copy Template System: Ensures accurate replication of predefined shapes
