Older Thermwood Machines

[Steve Meeks]

I would like to know if ecabinet systems will work with older Thermwood machines. I am looking at a prominent machinery auction site and considering an older machine to get my feet wet in cnc without going bankrupt doing it. Also I wonder if Thermwood offers any fee based support/setup for used machinery as well.

Hi Steve,

eCabinet Systems works with a Thermwood control feature known as Control Nesting. Control Nesting utilizes .twd files which are generated by the eCabinet software and is only supported by Thermwood controllers with the Windows operating system which is versions 5.0 and higher. Thermwood has a Retrofit dept. that is dedicated to doing upgrades and retrofits on older Thermwood machinery, that can enable you to update an older machine to run .twd files generated by eCab. If you have the machine number, you can contact us here at Thermwood to get pricing on upgrading an older Thermwood machine.

Thermwood does have feild service technicians that can travel to your facility to assist you on installing a machine. You can call Thermwood and ask for the service manager to check pricing or setup a service trip.


I hope this information has been helpful.
