The 2023 AES Sirius 950-M CNC Machining Center is a multi-operation woodworking CNC built for cabinet, custom millwork, and panel shops that need to drill, cut, and mill on a single platform. The drilling unit carries 10 vertical and 3 horizontal spindles, plus a saw arbor and an ER32 vertical milling spindle powered by an 8 HP (5.5 kW) motor. Travels are 9.8 inches on X, 3.14 to 37.4 inches on Y, and 0.31 to 2.75 inches on Z, with rapid speeds up to 787 IPM. The machine ships with Alphacam Essential 2D (one post) and AES WOP for programming, accepts DXF, DWG, STL, and CAD files, runs on 15 kW / 15 HP total installed power, and pulls 7 bar shop air.
Compared to older multi-step woodworking setups (a separate borer, panel saw, and router), the Sirius 950-M consolidates the standard cabinet-shop work envelope onto one machine - meaningful for shops looking to reclaim floor space, reduce part handling, and remove the cycle time lost to between-machine moves. The 10-spindle vertical bore array plus horizontal spindles and the saw arbor cover the bulk of cabinet face, shelf, and panel operations from a single setup, and the AES WOP / Alphacam software stack runs the standard wood industry file formats out of the box. For shops graduating from a manual or single-purpose CNC borer, this Sirius 950-M is a one-machine answer to the typical cabinet shop production envelope.
