Our best estimate for a cnc router in this class — not a quote from SCM. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The SCM Pratix N is listed as a CNC nesting router for full sheets: maximum panel dimensions of 2,800 × 2,070 mm on a grid vacuum table, with X travel of 2,900 mm, Y travel of 2,150 mm and 200 mm of Z. SCM's current lineup does not carry it under this name, so what follows describes an older machine from the listed figures.

The machine is built around the sheet. Both travels are slightly larger than the largest panel, so the head can run off the edge on every side. The grid vacuum table has selective blocking, meaning areas of the grid can be shut off when the sheet does not cover them. Minimum panel dimensions are 200 × 200 mm, and anything smaller falls outside the listed range. Panel thickness is 8 – 60 mm, which sits well inside the 200 mm Z travel once tool length is allowed for.

Cutting and drilling are split between two units. The main spindle is listed at up to 11 kW and up to 24,000 rpm, fed from a disc tool changer holding up to 24 tools. A drilling block with up to 15 vertical and 4 horizontal spindles handles hole patterns, so face and edge holes do not cost a tool change. All of these are maximums, and a given machine may carry a smaller spindle, magazine or block. Rapid feed is up to 70 m/min, and the control is listed as SCM Maestro / Maestro Nest.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Takes full sheets of 2,800 × 2,070 mm, with X and Y travels of 2,900 mm and 2,150 mm
Grid vacuum table with selective blocking
Drilling block with up to 15 vertical + 4 horizontal spindles alongside the main spindle
Disc automatic tool changer for up to 24 tools
Rapid feed rate of up to 70 m/min

Limitations

Z travel of 200 mm and a panel thickness range of 8 – 60 mm keep it to sheet work
Panels below 200 × 200 mm are outside the listed minimum
Main spindle power, magazine size and drilling block are all listed as 'up to' figures, so the equipment of a specific machine must be checked

Best For

Nesting parts from full sheets up to 2,800 × 2,070 mm Panels 8 – 60 mm thick that need routing and drilling in one clamping Hole patterns drilled with the vertical and horizontal spindles of the drilling block

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What sheet size does the Pratix N take?

The listed maximum panel is 2,800 × 2,070 mm, described as a full sheet, and the minimum is 200 × 200 mm. Panel thickness is 8 – 60 mm. X and Y travels are 2,900 mm and 2,150 mm, a little beyond the largest sheet in both directions.

02 How are panels held on the table?

By a grid vacuum table with selective blocking. Sections of the grid can be closed off, which concentrates the vacuum under the sheet when it does not cover the whole table. The table lists no clamps or pods, so parts need enough flat area to hold by suction.

03 Does the Pratix N drill as well as rout?

Yes. The listed figures include a drilling block with up to 15 vertical and 4 horizontal spindles, separate from the main spindle of up to 11 kW and 24,000 rpm. The spindle counts are maximums, so check the block fitted to the machine.

04 What control and software does it use?

The control row lists SCM Maestro / Maestro Nest. The table gives no detail on software versions or options, so confirm what is installed and licensed on the machine before relying on it for nesting work.
