NikMann-3618 Automated CNC Nesting Machine
Explore the NikMann-3618 automated CNC nesting machine with loading and unloading, 3640 × 1820 mm table, automatic tool changing and drilling.
A High-Productivity CNC Nesting Solution for Large-Format Panel Production
The NikMann-3618 is an automated CNC nesting machine designed for woodworking businesses seeking efficient, computer-controlled panel processing with integrated loading and unloading equipment.
With a 3640 × 1820 mm table, a 9.0 kW Italian electro spindle, a 12-position automatic tool magazine and a 10-spindle drilling head, the NikMann-3618 brings key machining operations together in one production system.
The integrated loading lift and unloading table are designed to support material handling around the machining process, making this machine a potential fit for cabinet manufacturers, furniture producers, commercial joinery businesses and larger panel-processing operations.
Why consider an automated nesting CNC machine?
Automating material loading, CNC machining and unloading can help reduce repetitive manual handling and support a more organised production workflow. The benefits for your workshop will depend on panel types, job scheduling, staffing, software and the way the machine is integrated into your production line.
The NikMann-3618 is designed for businesses that need a larger working area and a higher level of material-handling automation than a standard entry-level nesting CNC configuration.

LARGE-FORMAT TABLE
The published 3640 × 1820 mm table supports nesting layouts for suitable large-format sheet materials.
VACUUM PUMP
A powerful 5.5kw pump delivers 250 m3/h and delivers maximum vacuum evenly across the selected table area.
AUTO MEASUMENT TOOL
Automatic device for tool length measurement for more precise cutting and drilling.
10-SPINDLE DRILLING HEAD
The drilling head supports drilling tasks commonly required for cabinetry, furniture and joinery components.
AUTO LUBRICATION
The bearings are automatically lubricated from a centralised lubrication system in X and Y.
REMOTE CONTROL
Magnetic hand control makes machine and tools setups simple and easy for the operator.
DRILL HEAD CONFIGURATION
A powerful and versatile boring head with 10 drills, ideal for precise and efficient woodworking applications.
ISO-30 TOOLS
This ISO-30 electro spindle is designed for high-precision machining and efficient tool changes, making it an excellent choice for CNC applications in woodworking and beyond.
UNLOADING PUSHER
Auxiliary panels unloading unit allows the machined pieces to be taken off the working table that will then be cleaned by the suction device.
HYDRAULIC LIFTING TABLE
Combined with the standard auto loading and alignment system, you now have a fully automated panel loading solution.
UNLOADING CONVEYOR
Panels are presented at the end of the table for unloading, ensuring they never outpace the operator.
From Sheet Loading to Finished Components
The NikMann-3618 combines material handling and CNC machining into a coordinated workflow for suitable panel production jobs.
Automatic Panel Loading
The loading lift supports the movement of sheet material into the machining workflow. Confirm loading procedures and material compatibility for your production setup.
Prepare the CNC Job
Use compatible CAD/CAM software to prepare nesting layouts, routing paths and drilling operations for the required components.
Cut, Route and Drill
The CNC system carries out programmed machining operations using suitable tooling, the electro spindle and the integrated drilling head.
Move Components to the Next Stage
The unloading table supports material handling after machining. Completed parts can then be checked and moved to the next production operation.
