Wood Furniture Today's furniture manufacturer must be concerned as much with innovation as technological quality -- high volume commodity production... high value consumer niches... require flexible, powerful and highly capable manufacturing solutions across a range of sectors such as hotels, museums, ships, chain stores, hospitals and theatres...

Wood Nesting Panel based nesting is among the more important and flexible manufacturing technologies for furniture manufacturers... CMS' continuing development of this technology includes "just-in-time" and "made-to-order" strategies… and much more.

Wood Beams The building industry is experiencing a remarkable growth in projects utilizing heavy beam, wood timber construction elements... CMS is a leading edge supplier both for the high technology CNC equipment used... as well as the software for the design and CNC program generation phases.

Wood Doors As seen in the furniture industry... today's door manufacturing technology has seen the same drive for functional beauty and style along with the manufacturing technology able to provide it. CMS' technology has moved well past the concern of simply supplying single parts... providing complete work cell systems, capable of producing all the parts of a complete door, one after the other or in batches, ready to assemble, based upon production demand to the order, "just-in-time"... CMS also provides the technology for assembled doors with their hardware machining requirements, by which each customer's specified hardware elements may be machined into the door, based on the order, "just-in-time" in flow through or work cell fashion.

Wood Stairs Today's homes and public structures are requesting the enduring styles of the past, as well as new innovation for staircase production... CMS has completed a ground breaking work in both the manufacture of American and European stair production capabilities... supported by a comprehensive solution including its 5-axis CNC manufacturing technology, "real world" manufacturing capabilities, cutting tool design, implementation experience, fixturing methodology and systems, production, training and the "putting it into production" capabilities, tied together with a complete design and manufacturing software, including: the stair system proper and its solid wood handrail... CMS, the "one-only" partner for staircase work...

Wood Chairs & Curved Plywood Today's chair designers and manufacturers create a wide range of innovative and striking productions... employing 3D formed and curved plywood... as well as solid wood... designs providing furniture, chairs and bentwood furnishings... CMS has responded to the manufacturer's need... with its equally broad range of specialized and flexible CNC machining center solutions, providing unique methods for holding, orientating, machining, sanding, bringing creative fantasy to reality...

Wood Windows Among the most demanding jobs of an architect or designer are the creative decisions involved in a particular project's windows and doors... CMS' ground breaking work in the re-industrialization of this market is represented in its most recent generation of CNC controlled window and door production systems - the Pro Evolution series: used for the complete machining of each window, or door, component... which is added to CMS' wide range of standard and special CNC machining capabilities, which provides leading edge solutions for each specific manufacturer's need from traditional CNC machines to highly automated production systems.

Wood Carved Parts Manufacturers of high quality milled and carved solid wood components... find today's market increasingly requires and demands more flexibility, capability, efficient production and a quicker response time than ever... for parts such as... gunstocks, brushes, sporting items, chair legs, balusters... yet, if it's possible to reduce the labor content to almost zero, these parts can be produced anywhere, eliminating the pressure of competition from offshore... CMS' Multilathe, a compact, powerful, highly efficient, combination CNC router and turning lathe... does the work of a number of traditional machines at the same time, but with high productivity and at a much improved quality level.
