GARNET XS4 4M CNC Machining Center is a powerful and versatile 4-axis CNC machining center engineered to meet the demands of modern profile processing. Featuring a robust 5.6 kW spindle motor with a working range from –90° to +90°, it delivers outstanding performance across a wide variety of materials, including aluminum, PVC, light alloys, and steel. This wide angular capability allows the machine to adapt effortlessly to profiles of different sizes and geometries.

Designed as an efficient all-in-one machining solution, the GARNET XS4 combines milling, water channel opening, punching, marking, and end milling into a single streamlined workflow. It excels in both standard and non-standard applications, offering manufacturers the flexibility needed for custom production requirements. The generous 320 × 255 mm working area enhances productivity by enabling smooth, efficient processing with minimal repositioning.

Productivity is further enhanced by an automatic tool changer supported by a built-in 8-tool magazine, significantly reducing downtime between operations. The machine’s fully automatic clamp positioning along the X-axis removes the need for manual adjustments, taking on the operator’s workload and ensuring consistent, repeatable setups. Clamp capacity can be optimized on demand, allowing easy adaptation to unique profile dimensions and production needs.

Engineered for precision and durability, the double-linear guide bridge system delivers superior rigidity compared to single-guide designs, minimizing vibration and ensuring highly accurate machining results. An optional automatic lubrication system simplifies maintenance of transmission components, extending service life while maintaining long-term process accuracy. With its balance of power, precision, and intelligent automation, the GARNET XS4 empowers users to expand their machining capabilities—where productivity is limited only by imagination.

What Is the Garnet XS4 Used For?

The Garnet XS4 is designed to automate multiple machining operations on aluminum and PVC profiles from a single CNC platform.

Typical applications include:

• Milling aluminum profiles
• Drilling fabrication holes
• Tapping
• Marking
• Drainage and water-channel machining
• Hardware preparation
• Window and door profile machining
• Commercial storefront profile preparation
• Custom aluminum extrusion machining

By combining multiple operations into one programmed machining process, manufacturers can reduce manual profile handling and repetitive machine setup.

Who Is the Garnet XS4 Designed For?

The Garnet XS4 is particularly suited to manufacturers and fabricators processing aluminum and PVC profiles, including:

• Aluminum window manufacturers
• Door manufacturers
• Commercial storefront fabricators
• Curtain wall manufacturers
• Aluminum extrusion fabricators
• PVC window and door manufacturers
• General profile machining operations

It is particularly relevant for companies looking to replace multiple manual fabrication operations with programmable CNC processing.

Why Move From Manual Fabrication to CNC?

Traditional profile fabrication can require a profile to move between several individual machines for drilling, routing, milling and other operations.

The Garnet XS4 allows multiple machining operations to be programmed and performed from one CNC machining center.

This can help manufacturers:

• Reduce repetitive manual fabrication
• Reduce profile handling
• Improve machining repeatability
• Perform multiple operations from one machine
• Reduce setup between operations
• Increase manufacturing flexibility
• Build production capacity around programmable CNC processes

Garnet XS4 for Window & Door Manufacturing

For aluminum and PVC window and door manufacturers, the Garnet XS4 can perform programmed machining operations associated with profile preparation, hardware installation, drainage, drilling, milling and other repetitive fabrication requirements.

Programs can be recalled for repeat production, helping manufacturers establish consistent machining processes across recurring window and door systems.

Garnet XS4 for Commercial Storefront Fabrication

Commercial storefront fabrication frequently requires repetitive drilling, routing, milling and profile preparation.

The Garnet XS4 provides a programmable CNC platform for performing multiple machining operations on aluminum storefront profiles while reducing reliance on separate manual fabrication processes.
