How much does the HOMAG Beamteq B-560 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc router in this class — not a quote from HOMAG. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The HOMAG Beamteq B-560 is a CNC machine for timber beams, not flat panels: the listed figures give a working envelope of up to 13,000 mm (511 in) of beam length with a cross-section of 560 mm (22 in) in width and 560 mm (22 in) in height. Stock passes through the machine lengthwise, and the feed-through speed is listed at up to 100 m/min.
Cutting is done by a 15 kW (20 HP) routing spindle that runs to 12,000 RPM, on a 5-axis CNC with rotating machining aggregates. The table names an automatic aggregate change system instead of a conventional tool magazine, and it gives no count of aggregates or tool places. Anyone planning joinery that calls for many different cutters on one beam should ask how many the change system holds.
The control row lists HOMAG powerTouch with btL timber programming, so expect the machine to be driven from timber-construction data and not from panel programs. Weight is given as 18,000 kg (39,683 lb) approximate, which settles the foundation and rigging question before the infeed and outfeed room for 13,000 mm beams is counted. The listed figures are unverified, so confirm them with HOMAG or the seller before planning around them.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed beam length of up to 13,000 mm (511 in), enough for full-length structural members in one piece
- Cross-section capacity of 560 mm (22 in) in both width and height, so square and deep sections share one envelope
- 15 kW (20 HP) routing spindle at up to 12,000 RPM on a 5-axis CNC with rotating machining aggregates
- Automatic aggregate change system and a feed-through speed listed at up to 100 m/min
Limitations
- The listed figures give no number of aggregates or tool places for the change system
- At 18,000 kg (39,683 lb) approximate, plus handling room for beams up to 13,000 mm (511 in), it needs a long, prepared floor
- Sections larger than 560 mm (22 in) in width or height fall outside the listed envelope
- The table is unverified and itemises no separate saw, drilling or marking unit, so the equipment of a given machine has to be confirmed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give a beam length of up to 13,000 mm (511 in), a beam width of 560 mm (22 in) and a beam height of 560 mm (22 in). No minimum cross-section is listed, so ask about the smallest section the machine can hold if small battens are part of the work.
02
A routing spindle listed at 15 kW (20 HP) and 12,000 RPM. It works on a 5-axis CNC with rotating machining aggregates, and aggregates are exchanged by an automatic aggregate change system. The table does not say how many aggregates the system holds.
03
The control row lists HOMAG powerTouch with btL timber programming. In practice that means beam data arrives as btL files from the design side. Check that the design software in use exports btL in a version the machine accepts.
04
Weight is listed as 18,000 kg (39,683 lb) approximate, and the feed-through speed as up to 100 m/min. Both figures are unverified. The layout also has to allow for beams up to 13,000 mm (511 in) long on the infeed and the outfeed side.
