6 Heads PCB CNC Routing Machine R16 Series
Six head routing machine for volume batch board routing. It is the model chosen when the routing station has to keep pace with the rest of the line.

Product Overview
CNC PCB Router. The six head PCB routing machine targets volume output. Three independent Z axes carry six spindles so the machine keeps cutting while individual stations index.
Where the two and four head machines suit small batch and general production the R16 is specified when routing output rate is the constraint on the plant.
Technical Features
- Six spindles across three independent Z axes
- Customized table sizes including 630mm by 830mm and 650mm by 830mm builds
- Steady cutting at 35m/min XY feed
- Easy going operation interface
Key Benefits
Raise the output rate
Six spindles working together lift the routing throughput which is the point of the model.
Independent Z axis groups
Three Z axes let station groups index without stopping the whole beam.
Faster traverse
XY axis maximum movement speed is 35m/min against 28m/min on the R12 and R14.
Same accuracy class
Positioning ±0.01mm repeatability ±0.005mm routing accuracy ±0.05mm as the smaller routers.

Who It Is For
- PCB fabricators depanelling rigid boards after solder mask and surface finish
- Assembly houses separating assembled panels into single boards
- Shops producing slots cut outs and irregular board frames
- Buyers who need a wider or longer work table than a standard model provides
Problems It Solves
- Manual pin insertion pushing up labour cost and introducing position error
- Output rate limited because a single spindle routes one board at a time
- Standard table size too small for the panel format actually used in the plant
- Cut depth on partial depth routing that cannot be held without depth control

Use and Maintenance Guide
Before The Shift
Check appearance spindle and tool cassette tooling computer electric cabin lubricant oil cooling liquid air pipe tooling box and shelf. Run the spindle at low speed for at least ten minutes.
Every Week
Cut the power first. Clean inside and outside lubricate the worktable clean and lubricate the collet and sort the computer cables. About one hour on the night shift.
Every Month
Add guide rail cover removal cleaning and lubrication the limit switch check and the electric cabin fan filter. About one and a half hours with repair staff present.
When Accuracy Drifts
Work the four factors in order. Equipment condition then technics parameters then tool status then operator method.
