The Weeke Optimat BHC550, manufactured in 2002, is a heavy-duty, production-grade CNC router designed for high-throughput wood and panel processing operations. Its gantry-mounted routing head offers X, Y, Z travel ranges of approximately 127" x 98" x 14.5", supporting large nested-based manufacturing and custom part layouts. The machine utilizes digital servo drive technology and anti-backlash rack and pinion systems on X and Y axes, with orbital ball screw actuation on the Z-axis, ensuring both speed and precise vertical accuracy. It achieves positioning accuracy of 0.0012" and repeatability of 0.002", well-suited for cabinet face frames, doors, millwork, and laminated panels. With a rapid traverse rate of 3,150 IPM (X) and 2,362 IPM (Y), and 787 IPM (Z), the machine allows for swift material positioning and cycle execution. The unit is air-assisted and requires 100 PSI (7 bar) shop air, and is typically connected to a vacuum pump system with 3,531 CFM flow capacity for workpiece hold-down. Equipped with 250 mm (~9.84") dust extraction ports and an approximate machine weight of 9,900 lbs, the BHC550 is built for integration into high-duty production cells. Electrical demand ranges between 14–22 kW (18.8–29.5 HP). MakeWeeke ModelOptimat BHC550 Year2010 or older Product #15297 Price Please login to see price.
