Double-Process CNC Router with Pressure Roller – ACP Grooving & Cutting Machine
Description
This double-process CNC router is built specifically for aluminum composite panel fabrication. Equipped with a pneumatic pressure roller that tracks the spindle movement, it holds sheets flat during high-speed cutting and grooving. The dual processes design completes grooving and cutting in a single cycle—no repositioning, no wasted time. Whether you’re producing architectural cladding, signage, or display panels, this machine delivers consistent accuracy job after job.
Features
- Dual-Process Design – Groove + Cut
Two separate spindles or tool stations handle grooving and cutting sequentially without manual intervention. The machine routes V-grooves for folding, then profiles the perimeter cut—all in a single setup. This eliminates repositioning errors and cuts cycle time dramatically compared to single-process machines. - Pneumatic Pressure Roller for Sheet Stability
The pressure roller rides alongside the spindle, pressing the ACP sheet flat against the table directly at the cutting point. This is critical for ACP work—large, thin panels tend to bow or vibrate, which ruins groove depth consistency and edge quality. The roller keeps the material locked down even at high feed rates, so your V-grooves stay within ±0.05 mm depth tolerance. - High-Speed Spindle (18,000–24,000 RPM)
Delivers the RPM needed for burr-free cutting on aluminum skins. Combined with the right feed rates, it produces clean edges without delamination or melting of the polyethylene core. - Large-Format Working Area
Accommodates standard 4’×8′ and 5’×10′ sheets, with custom sizes available. Handles full sheets in a single pass, reducing the need for pre-cutting. - Vacuum Table with Multi-Zone Hold-Down
Powerful vacuum zoning holds the entire sheet flat against the bed. No clamps, no shifting—just consistent, repeatable results from the first sheet to the hundredth.

Optional items
Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) – Holds 8 to 16 tools and automatically switches between grooving cutters, end mills, and drills. Eliminates the need for manual tool changing, reducing operational errors. Customizable to your needs.
Lubrication System – Sprays a fine layer of coolant onto the cutting tools to prevent aluminum chips from adhering to them, significantly extending tool life.
Dust and Chip Collection Hull – A large-capacity vacuum hood collects composite core material dust and aluminum chips, keeping the work area clean and safe.
Integrated Cutter Head Compatibility – Supports right-angle integrated cutter heads, suitable for horizontal drilling and side milling operations.
Automatic Tool Length Sensor – Automatically measures the tool length before each job, ensuring consistent Z-axis depth accuracy without manual adjustment.
Enhanced Vacuum Pump – An upgraded vacuum system capable of handling porous or textured aluminum composite panels (ACP) requiring higher pressure clamping.
Frequent asked questions
Q: What's the difference between grooving and cutting?
A: Grooving (V-grooving) removes material from the back of the panel along fold lines, leaving only the front skin intact so the panel can be folded. Cutting (profiling) cuts completely through the panel to separate finished parts from the sheet.
Q: How accurate is the V-grooving?
A: Groove depth consistency is held to ±0.05 mm. This precision is what prevents panels from cracking or breaking during the folding process.
Q: What materials can this machine process?
A: While it’s purpose‑built for aluminum composite panels (ACP/ACM), the machine is equally capable of processing solid wood, MDF, plywood, acrylic (PMMA), polycarbonate, PVC foam board and ABS. With the right tooling and feed/speed adjustments, you can switch materials quickly. The pressure roller can be disengaged or tension‑adjusted for rigid sheets. This versatility makes it a go‑to machine for sign shops, display fabricators, and general woodworking operations that also handle ACP jobs.
Q: What kind of training or support do you provide?
A: We provide onsite installation and training, plus remote technical support. Documentation and video guides are also included.
3 Axis CNC Router details
Application
Architectural Cladding & Facades
Produce folded cassettes, column covers, and rainscreen panels for commercial and residential buildings. The V-grooving capability is what makes ACP cladding fabrication possible—without it, you’re just cutting flat sheets.
Corporate Signage & 3D Letters
Create dimensional channel letters, pylon signs, and illuminated display boxes. The machine grooves fold lines on the back of panels, then cuts the profile, producing ready-to-fold sign components in one cycle.
Interior Wall Paneling & Decorative Partitions
Fabricate suspended ceiling panels, decorative wall partitions, and column wraps for interior fit-outs. Clean edges and consistent groove depth mean less post-processing and faster installation.
Industrial Enclosures & Equipment Housings
Fabricate clean, durable housings for machinery and electrical components. The machine’s precision ensures tight-fitting joints and professional-looking finished products.

The dual-process design was the selling point for us. We used to groove on one machine and cut on another—lots of handling, lots of room for error. Now it's one setup, one cycle, and the parts come off ready for assembly.
