Technical Specifications
CNC Machining Center EPICON 7235 Features
Powerful 5-axis cutter unit
Proven 5-axis technology – including Beckhoff drives and control
The fully interpolating 13 kW, 5-axis spindle (standard feature) runs on both sides in ceramic bearings, ensuring extremely high drive holding forces.
For extreme machining work on solid wood the optional PRO torque spindle is ideal. With an output of 18 kW and mechanical brakes on the A and C axes, this machine provides for extreme rigidity and perfect results at high feed rates with maximum chip removal.
Machining head – optimized for practice
Drilling, sawing, cutting, grooving – the machining head on the EPICON series is equipped for multifunctional use and is perfect for rational production of simple and complex case parts in continuous operation.
The integrated and compact design makes this machining head a paragon for dynamic action, acceleration and positioning accuracy. Even in the basic equipment, the EPICON series offers a wide machining spectrum.
SynchroDrive machine table
State-of-the-art production technology with up to 50 servo-axes
For high speed, precise and reliable suction cup positioning on workpieces with varying sizes:
- Up to 50 servo-axes on the SynchroDrive table are synchronized, controlled and positioned to reduce table set-up times to an absolute minimum while simultaneously ensuring exact positioning of the consoles and suction cups on the table
- Various suction cup sizes as well as special suction cups for solid wood and frame clamps adapt the SynchroDrive table to every application
VISE LED Table
At Holz-her, VISE stands for Visual Setting, providing visual support for the machine operator when setting up the machine. The virtual workpiece positioning feature provides an optimum recommendation for the position of the consoles and suction cups.
Naturally the tools used, as well as the passages, pockets and other machining features are taken into consideration.
The Holz-her LED table with Visual Setting ensures extremely fast, error-free and reliable setup while avoiding machining errors and damage to the suction cups.

Furniture
Plan your furniture in varying room situations: Clothes closets, closets beneath slopping roofs, dormer closets, kitchens, bathroom furniture, office furniture, wardrobes, sliding door closets, living room furniture, sideboards, built-in cabinets, audio and TV furniture, counters, beds, tables, etc.
Simple
As a cabinet maker you know how furniture is built. With only a few entries you can proceed directly to the final planning stage, without any familiarity with CAD. From there it is only a touch of a button and all data is available for production. This takes you simply and quickly to the planning and work preparation stages.
Planning
Together with your customer you plan and present their furniture quickly and clearly. You can add any spontaneous requests directly and your customers know immediately and precisely what they are getting, making it easier for your customer to reach a decision and for you to complete the order.
CAMPUS 5-axis module – 3D simulation
3D material removal simulation as standard feature
Even the basic versions of the EPICON machines are equipped with our mature 3D material removal simulation feature. The CAMPUS 3D machine simulation can be ordered as an optional feature. This offers:
- Collision monitoring
- Three-dimensional simulation of machine motions and material removal on workpiece
- Graphic representation of machining head, tool and tool collet, table and clamping device.
- Upgrade is possible to the machine simulation described above with display of consoles, suction cups and clamps.
Perfectly optimized 5-axis cutting with the high speed curve performance package
For 5-axis power users, the optional high speed curve performance package offers additional advantages. This allows the first class performance of the 5-axis spindle to be used for effective high speed milling with perfect results. The high speed module is also ideal for increasing the performance in combination with CAD/CAM software from other suppliers and offers perfect spline interpolation.
CAMPUS 5-axis module for simultaneous cutting
The NC HOPS supplement module supports interpolating 5-axis machining in many areas such as:
- 5-axis simultaneous cutting.
- Support of 5-axis interpolation with top and bottom guide curves (simultaneous machining).
- Two contours on defined layers are interpreted as 5-axis machining.
Well-thought-through workpiece clamping
CNC machining centers are becoming ever more efficient with the use of intelligent software combined with proven technology. One-piece complete production is now the measure of all things. All parts must be produced to the highest quality standards and with all conceivable processes in a single pass. The concept of “more product capability” opens new horizons. In addition, CNC machining also ensures the resurrection of traditional woodworking joints. Where earlier manual methods involved high-cost processes and large tolerances, these days it’s only a matter of a few clicks of the mouse and complex joints are created to the highest levels of precision. In this way, mortised frame doors and swallow-tailed connections are being rediscovered.
Variable system of matched suction cups and workpiece clamps for surface machining including straight and curved frame parts.
Intelligent solid wood machining
The EPICON series offers virtually unlimited possibilities for machining. Constructed for the most highly demanding work, the solid and well-thought-out construction of both machines represents the latest in modern and application-friendly industrial design.
The extreme machining lengths in the X direction make the console table on the CNC machining centers ideal for machining long parts such as components for stairs, winter gardens, etc. Even large door components can be machined in a highly efficient and trouble-free manner in pendular operation. With up to 1,650 mm in the Y direction as well as a Z stroke of 565 mm, the EPICON is perfectly equipped for highly variable, custom machining operations.
Innovative changeover units
Your advantage for high product quality
A variety of changeover units for highly varying applications is available for all machines in the EPICON series. These range from conventional multi-spindle machines, lock box and sawing units to special applications such as hollow cutting chisels and cutting units for machining foam materials, etc.
Angular slewing gears with angle display and central angle adjustment are available for precision angle cuts and holes.
In addition ball measuring sensors ensure precise measurement of the workpiece length, workpiece depth and material thickness including workpiece position correction in the machining program.
Laser pointers as standard feature
Laser pointers for exact position of the suction cups or for tracing the workpiece contours, attached on the right and left sides of the machining head.
Contour laser – the complete positioning solution
Contour laser – projects entire workpiece contour and all required vacuum suction cups simultaneously as well as all console positions without limitation for number of lines to be projected.
Variable safety concepts
Operator safety has absolute priority. This is why the EPICON provides free selection between the extremely robust multiple field foot mat or proximity type light barriers.
Mobile control panel
Ergonomic design of your workplace is of increasingly greater importance. Holz-her offers a mobile control panel as a standard feature for all EPICON models.
This control panel is equipped with a 21.5”, 16:9 multi-touch screen for perfect user convenience. The attached rollers allow the control panel to be positioned for optimum support of the working process.
Efficient vacuum technology
Extremely high performance, efficient vacuum pumps ensure workpiece is held securely. These low maintenance, dry-running pumps are also distinguished by their low noise emissions and extremely low maintenance requirements.
Moreover, our intelligent ECO VAC vacuum control uses a software program to ensure that the required vacuum power is always present when several pumps are used.
Flexible Evacuation
Flexible evacuation – programmable for eight positions
Fully automatic positioning in eight positions on machining head, for perfect adaptation of hood to workpiece height. This guarantees optimum evacuation of chips.
