Nova Wood Products operations are housed in a state-of-the-art building with production space exceeding 27,000 square feet. Utilizing the latest in CAD, estimating and office software, Nova Wood Products can respond efficiently to customer needs and requests in the estimating, planning, fabrication, and installation of every project.
When Nova Wood Products began the search for machines to solve our spray finishing bottleneck, we turned to CNC Automation.
CNC Automations knowledge and experience with the machinery that we were looking for made the undertaking of this process seamless and effortless.
A key machine in our spray finishing upgrades was the purchase and introduction of a Weber LCE-2-1350 widebelt sander. The machine proposed to Nova, based on our production needs was a machine with a wide belt station and a planetary brush sanding station.
The machine arrived on schedule, the setup was very easy and the training on the machine was very well done and professional.
The Weber sander has completely changed how Nova produces spray finish products. We were able to not just increase our production volume but also simultaneously improve our product quality. The Weber sander has also given Nova the ability to create new products and find solutions to our ongoing sanding needs.
The Weber sander is an exceptional machine, I personally have been working with production machines for 34 years and I have never seen a widebelt sander run as smoothly and as quietly as the Weber, it also offers accuracy and precision that is second to none.
I would recommend the Weber sander to anyone and everyone; we have not for a minute regretted our purchase.
CNC Automation can provide the knowledge, expertise, and excellent customer service to anyone that wants to upgrade, increase, or improve their production capabilities.
Olympic Kitchens have been producing high end cabinetry in the Greater Toronto Area since the early 70’s. Throughout our existence we have had the opportunity to deal with various machinery suppliers. Over ten years ago, we entrusted CNC Automation to take our company to the next level and modernize our production method.
We began our relationship with the purchase of our first Thermwood CNC router Nested Base Manufacturing Cell. Since then, we have commissioned three additional Thermwoods while integrating many of CNC Automation’s industry specific software solutions. CNC Automation has always respected the required delivery and installation schedule, in most cases forecasted production goals and objectives have been surpassed.
Since our initial dealing with CNC Automation in the late 2000’s, we have purchased a wide variety of equipment from them ranging from solid wood equipment such like an Ironwood moulder, various Doucet material handling systems as well as a Fravol edgebander, Loewer brush sander, two through feed Bonacin automated case clamps, and an Omal CNC controlled dowel inserter. Their service response time as well as after sales customer service throughout these years have proven to be second to none.
Our most recent purchase in 2019 is a state-of-the-art Weber 4 Head high precision finishing sander for sanding veneers, solid wood, primer, sealer, and topcoat. We researched various potential suppliers and although various product offerings appeared to be satisfactory, being one of the highest precision machines in our manufacturing facility, we needed the added assurance that we would be physically supported locally by our supplier. Our history with CNC Automation simplified our choice as we knew that combined with North American support from Weber, we were in good hands which greatly simplified our purchase decision.
As with our past experience dealing with CNC Automation, the finishing sander arrived within the prescribed time, the installation team was on-site as per the agreed upon date, the sander was in operation within 48 hours and we were able to benefit of the presence of the installation team for the entire week. This greatly facilitated the overall integration of the sander within other departments of our production facility.
In closing, it is my pleasure to recommend CNC Automation to other Canadian manufacturers.
Before the installation of our Automated Spray Machine, finishing was the bottleneck in our production. Now we have increased throughput with an extra kitchen per day and lots of room for future growth. With assistance from the CNC Automation team we were able to make this transition quick and easy.
At the early stage of RO-BOIS-TIC (start-up founded in January 2012) CNC Automation and it’s president Andrew Legault were truly believers of the RO-BOIS-TIC vision, meaning ‘’lights out manufacturing’’. He pledged to put his company’s full technical support behind the project.
CNC Automation supplied the three key pieces of panel processing equipment… router, edgebander and drill & dowel inserter. The key to the robotic line’s success was getting all of these components to work in harmony and like clockwork, that is now a reality in 2013.
Robotic technology is relatively new to the woodworking industry, for many years AutomaTech had been looking for a partner. Today we consider ourselves extremely lucky to have joined forces with the CNC Automation team. They are a strong committed partner and their service team is what really sets them apart form all others. Special thanks to Andrew, Bob, Dan and Éric for all their support .
At Avondale we use Cnc Automation as our primary EQUIPTMENT dealer. Why ? It’s all about service. When nested based cutting became mainstream about 14 years ago we chose CNC Automation to implement a nested based Thermwood CNC . The reason was that they would do the machine and software install, and be responsible for it coming on line. I should add, at that time very very few equipment dealers handled turnkey installing. . The other reason was that we knew that with a American machine such has Thermwood we could get parts normally within 24hrs and 48hrs on the outside. The project was 100% successful !! Over the years The CNC automation team has really been like family and friends . OK maybe we bought our friendship ha ha :), but on the serious side, they always come through and that’s what counts.
After the CNC was paid for I could not withstand prosperity, so we decided to go deeper into automation. With CNC Automation’s help we invested in a Lowes sander and a paper belt flatline finishing system. Keep on mind we are only a 15 man shop, I had to go to 150 man shops to see these working. Avondale was likely the 1st small shop in North America to put both of these into a factory of our size.
The implantation was tedious to say the least , but CNC Automation helped us every step of the way. Day 1-my plan was a 5yr break even- day 200 well maybe 10yr break even and it was looking like I would need a lot of luck to hold to that. . Now at day 1000 it looks like we are full year ahead of a five year payback.
Life is good and so is CNC Automation
Our recent SunSpot Catalytic Paint Drying System Installation by CNC Automation…
We have taken drying times from 2-2.5 hours down to about 20 mins, this is a game changer. Now instead of waiting till the next coat gets done you can make better use of your time. A lot less waisted time in between coats means the product gets to the assembler a lot faster. Painting mistakes can now be fixed in 1/4 the time.
We love it !
