The Kathy KS-C is a high-performance CNC machining centre, equipped with 4 servo-controlled axes and 6 virtual axes, designed to meet the high demands of the door industry. Robust, fast, and intelligent, this machine is capable of machining all sides of a door – face, locks, and hinges – with remarkable consistency, all day long.
Its mechanically welded structure eliminates vibrations to offer extremely precise cuts, regardless of the material or thickness. It is the ideal ally for manufacturers who want to combine quality, efficiency, and safety.
| KS-C Frequently Asked Questions | |
| Quick answers about the Kathy KS-C precision door CNC, its complete door machining capabilities, materials, multi-head machining, automation features, integration options, and production requirements. | |
| What is the Kathy KS-C? | The Kathy KS-C is a precision door CNC machining center designed to automate complete door machining with fast, repeatable CNC control. It combines surface, lock-side, hinge-side, and drilling operations in one platform to help reduce handling and improve production efficiency. |
| What door machining operations can the KS-C perform? | The KS-C supports glass cutouts and specialty shapes, edge bore, edge pocket and drilling operations, face machining, lock-side and hinge-side machining, and preparation for hardware, hinges, and mortise locks. |
| Can the KS-C perform complete door preparation? | Yes. The KS-C uses multiple machining heads to combine surface, lock-side, hinge-side, and drilling operations within one CNC platform, helping manufacturers complete more door preparation operations with less handling between machines. |
| What materials can the KS-C machine? | The KS-C supports wood, PVC, composite, steel, and aluminum doors. Final compatibility should be confirmed based on the customer’s door construction, tooling, and production requirements. |
| What door sizes can the KS-C process? | The KS-C 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. |
| How does the KS-C support automated door production? | The KS-C can be configured with infeed and outfeed automation for same-side or pass-through production flow. This allows the machine to adapt to different production layouts and automated door manufacturing requirements. |
| Does the KS-C support barcode or ERP integration? | Yes. The KS-C supports ERP and barcode integration to help streamline production workflow, reduce manual entry, and improve production control. |
| How does the KS-C improve machining precision and repeatability? | The KS-C uses automatic width adjustment, door tightening, hard stoppers, and part references to help position doors accurately for precise and repeatable CNC machining. |
| What tooling options are available on the KS-C? | The KS-C includes a 5-space tool changer and configurable tooling to support a wide range of door machining applications, including cutouts, drilling, edge machining, face machining, and hardware preparation. |
| How does the KS-C help maintain a cleaner machining area? | The KS-C uses air blower support and a waste conveyor to help maintain a cleaner machining area and cleaner door exit. Its enclosed design also helps control cutout waste during production. |
| Does Eugenie provide remote support for the KS-C? | 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 KS-C requires 480 V three-phase electrical power, an Internet connection, and 100 PSI at 15 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 KS-C? | The KS-C measures approximately 14 feet 7 inches long, 10 feet 2 inches wide, and 6 feet 8 inches high, with a listed footprint of 148 square feet. Final layout requirements should be reviewed with Eugenie before installation. |
The Kathy KS-C combines flexibility, precision, and robustness in a 4-axis CNC machining centre. With its three independent machining heads, automatic adjustment system, and reinforced design, it is ideal for companies looking to optimize their door production while ensuring exceptional quality.
The Kathy KS-C is the ideal solution for workshops that want to increase their production rate without compromising on quality. Designed to offer efficiency, user comfort, and consistent results, it easily integrates into a modern production environment.
