What are the core equipment needed for building a panel furniture factory?

The basic production process (cutting, edge banding, drilling, laminating/packaging) should be flexibly configured in combination with scale, budget, and product type. Here's a list of equipment and configuration suggestions:

I. Core Essential Equipment

1. CNC Cutting Machine

   Function: Panel cutting, vertical drilling, grooving, and irregular processing (radius, engraving).

   Selection Suggestions:

   Four process cutting machine: Suitable for small factories, for basic cutting and drilling.

   Pre-labeling machine + automatic tool change dust-free cutting machine: Dust-free cutting and automatic tool change, meeting various furniture panel production needs, suitable for cabinet and other high-end custom furniture manufacturers.

   Panel utilization rate: With optimization software, it can reach 98%+.

2. Fully Automatic Edge Banding Machine

   Function: 9 processes (pre-milling, gluing, edge banding, trimming, fine adjustment, polishing, etc.) to ensure edge banding sealing and appearance.

3. Drilling Equipment

   Six-sided drilling machine: Completes drilling on all six sides of a panel at once, improving efficiency threefold (12-15 seconds per panel), preferred for medium-sized factories.

4. Vacuum Laminating Machine

   Function: PVC film/wood veneer lamination, suitable for door panel thermoforming and irregular part lamination (e.g., cabinet doors).

II. Supplementary Equipment by Product Type

Cabinet production line: Cutting machine + edge banding machine + side drilling machine/six-sided drilling machine (core trio).

Door panel production line:

Cutting machine (with 12-tool automatic tool change model, suitable for complex carving);

Laminating machine + hinge drilling machine (precise hinge hole drilling);

Optional: UV color printer (for patterned door panels), sanding machine (for surface finishing).

III. Practical Points for Factory Construction

1. Power and Space:

   Power: Total wiring of 26mm² copper wire, dedicated 10mm² four-core wire for cutting machine, air compressor with 1 cubic meter air storage tank + desiccant.

   Workshop size: ≥2.3m×3.8m space for cutting machine; reserve 11m×4m for laminating machine; edge banding machine length 4.5-6m.

2. Software and Maintenance:

   Order splitting software must be compatible with the cutting machine system;

   Regular maintenance: Clean guide rails/screws of dust, prevent dust in electrical boxes to ensure precision.
