Range 02 · TEKNO · industrial production
Industrial routing, up to large format.
From components to large panels, TEKNO brings aluminium, engineering-plastic, wood and composite machining in-house. Five working formats, materials up to 150 mm thick and configurations defined around workholding, tools and production volumes: for prototypes, short runs and production.

Every outsourced part adds lead time and a setup charge.

Prototypes, control panels, jigs, aluminium and engineering-plastic parts: when outsourced, the supplier sets the timetable and setup charges add to the bill. Every change restarts the process.
TEKNO brings a heavy-duty gantry router into your business, with bed sizes from 1250 × 1250 to 4050 × 2050 mm and 150 mm Z travel: from prototypes to short runs on the same machine, using your existing files.
Savings on subcontract machining range from 20% to 50%, depending on the case; indicative payback is 18–24 months. We check these figures on your parts, rather than relying on an average.
Figures provided by Automa based on previous installations; they vary with material, volume and configuration. We check them together on your actual work before you order.
What changes in your business
Prototype today, production tomorrow, on the same bed.
- 1Control of your production process
Mechanical parts, plastic components, cladding and control panels produced in-house, on your own schedule.
- 2Large panels and small parts
The zoned bed secures both 3 × 2 m sheets and small parts, using vacuum, clamps or a combination, reducing setup time.
- 3Measurable precision
Digital probing and volumetric compensation allow Z to follow the actual workpiece surface, including fine engraving.
- 4Industry 4.0 as standard
Machine software can be accessed remotely for real-time job status and file integration with your systems.
Expand through modules
Start with the base. Add what you need when you need it.
The structure and mechanics match the fully equipped configuration: modules can be added later at your premises, without trading in the machine.
Base: routing and vacuum bed
Profiling, pocketing, drilling and engraving of wood, plastics and composites.
Add tool change and cooling
Eight-position tool rack and minimum-quantity air-oil lubrication for aluminium and light alloys.
Add volumetric compensation
Probing and SCV for tight tolerances on plates and control panels.
Choosing a format
Five formats.
Sized for your work.
From components to large panels: compare usable working areas and select the bed for your materials and production processes.
Usable area · Dimensions in millimetres · Same scale throughout
Dimensions refer to the usable working area, not the machine's overall footprint.

Frequently asked questions
What customers ask before a material test.
Which format should I choose?
Five working areas: 1250 × 1250 · 2050 × 1250 · 1250 × 2600 · 2050 × 3050 · 2050 × 4050 mm. The choice depends on your parts and the available space.
Can it machine steel?
TEKNO is designed for aluminium, light alloys, engineering plastics, composites and wood. It can perform light-duty work on ferrous alloys; for full steel machining or 5-axis machining centres, we can suggest other solutions.
Can I use my existing CAM software?
We check software and machining-file compatibility when defining the configuration.
How long do installation and training take?
Three to five days at your premises with an Automa technician: assembly, testing on your parts and operator training in Italian.
What does it cost?
We discuss pricing after a call to define the right configuration for your materials and volumes: cost depends on format, spindle and modules. We support Italian customers applying for eligible incentives (see Italian incentives).

Material testing
Bring us a file, a material and a target result.
Contact us with your machining file and material details: together we will agree on testing arrangements and availability.
You will speak to someone at Automa. We discuss pricing after understanding your work, rather than sending a standard price by email.
