The Claire EP-X is a 3-axis CNC machining centre designed for machining the edges of doors made of wood, steel, PVC, or composite materials. Thanks to its automated width adjustment system and fully enclosed design, it combines performance, safety, and cleanliness.
Integrated in line with other EuGenie machines – such as the Kathy KS-S or the KS-C – it allows for continuous production of up to one door per minute, optimizing your output without compromising quality.
| EP-X Frequently Asked Questions | |
| Quick answers about the Claire EP-X door edge CNC, its hinge-edge machining capabilities, materials, precision features, integration options, production speed, and installation requirements. | |
| What is the Claire EP-X? | The Claire EP-X is a door edge CNC machining center designed for dedicated hinge-edge preparation in continuous production. It helps reduce the workload on upstream machines while keeping door edge machining fast, accurate, and repeatable. |
| What door edge machining operations can the EP-X perform? | The EP-X supports hinge mortises, U/N hinge preparation, Soss and concealed hinge preparation, pilot holes, and corner chiseling for specialized door edge machining applications. |
| What materials can the EP-X machine? | The EP-X supports wood, PVC, composite, and steel doors. Final compatibility should be confirmed based on the customer’s door construction, tooling, hinge requirements, and production needs. |
| What door sizes can the EP-X process? | The EP-X supports doors up to 96 inches high, from 9 3/4 to 48 inches wide, and from 1 3/8 to 2 1/4 inches thick. Final capacity should be validated with Eugenie based on the customer’s door specifications and application. |
| Can the EP-X machine standard and specialty hinges? | Yes. The EP-X is designed for flexible hinge-edge preparation, including standard, commercial, U/N, Soss, and concealed hinge applications. Final tooling and hinge compatibility should be confirmed for the customer’s specific requirements. |
| Does the EP-X require G-Code programming? | No. The EP-X is designed to operate without G-Code, helping simplify setup and reduce operator dependency while supporting faster production changeovers. |
| Does the EP-X support barcode or ERP integration? | Yes. The EP-X supports ERP and barcode integration to help streamline production workflow, reduce manual entry, and improve production control. |
| How does the EP-X improve door edge machining precision? | The EP-X uses precision probing to improve setup accuracy, machining precision, and repeatability during hinge-edge preparation and specialized door edge machining. |
| Can the EP-X integrate into an automated production line? | Yes. The EP-X supports modular integration with upstream transfer, measurement, and referencing systems, helping it fit into connected and automated door production lines. |
| How fast can the EP-X process doors? | The EP-X can support production rates of up to one door per minute when integrated into a properly configured Eugenie production line. Actual output depends on the application, machining requirements, and overall line configuration. |
| What safety and dust management features are included? | The EP-X includes integrated sensors, interlocks, and pre-cycle checks to help control machine access and reduce operator exposure. Its enclosed design, dust collection bins, and air blade also help contain machining debris and support a cleaner door exit. |
| Does Eugenie provide remote support for the EP-X? | Yes. Eugenie provides remote diagnostics, HMI monitoring, and real-time support to help keep production operational. Support can also include equipment layout, commissioning, optimization, and planning for future production growth. |
| What are the machine requirements? | The EP-X requires 480 V three-phase electrical power, an Internet connection, and 100 PSI at 10 CFM of compressed air. Final installation requirements should be confirmed with Eugenie based on the machine layout and production needs. |
| What is the footprint of the EP-X? | The EP-X measures approximately 13 feet 4 inches long, 6 feet 10 inches wide, and 7 feet 3 inches high, with a listed footprint of 91 square feet. Final layout requirements should be reviewed with Eugenie before installation. |
An ideal solution for high-volume workshops, the Claire EP-X offers fast, accurate, and automated machining. Its built-in safety, connectivity with the Kathy range of equipment, and user-friendly interface make it a strategic investment to increase efficiency, reduce errors, and simplify daily management of operations.
The Claire EP-X was designed to automate, secure, and speed up the machining of door edges. Its perfect compatibility with other EuGenie products makes it an essential link in a modern, efficient, and optimized production chain.
