Style, custom design, comfort and attention to detail are the basic ingredients for designer kitchens in line with demands from a continually evolving market. This is even more vital for top-of-the-range and luxury kitchens, designed for a customer looking to stand out from the crowd, often becoming the designer behind the chosen furniture.

Continuing to research innovative, quality materials with an increased focus on natural, sustainable materials is a priority. Sophisticated, original lines and shapes are desirable, along with exclusive, quality finishings, without forgetting the final requirements of hardware, accessories, lighting and domotics systems – all needing to slot in with fast delivery times that are becoming increasingly demanding for those not mass producing furniture.

Creating endless style combinations with more efficient production processes

SCM provides advanced, flexible technological solutions that will allow you to implement your ideas without restrictions; producing all your kitchen parts efficiently and sustainably, with total control and real-time production. This includes bases and wall units, columns, doors, sides and tops, where traditional building materials combine with quartz, ceramics, corian®, etc., to produce considerable aesthetic and practical advantages.

Producing everything in-house, from wood to marble

For those dreaming of becoming a fully autonomous company able to product all parts of a kitchen, the SCM Engineering team and CMS Stone Technology will study the digital and technological solutions most suited to their production needs. This includes modular, scalable and combined systems, as well as cell systems with robotic servo systems. 

The cabinet – optimise your processes with SCM

With SCM’s highly advanced technologies, in stand-alone or articulated version, in built-in systems or with automated cell systems, you can:

  • Increase productivity, even with small batches
  • Make processes more economical and sustainable, reducing costs, remains and scraps
  • Achieve modular, interlocking, modern kitchens that are also elegantly designed
  • Effectively handle the entire production flow and optimise all after-sales activities

Beam saw and nesting

SCM offers a wide range of gabbiani beam saws for board cutting, in a stand-alone version or in cells or integrated lines with flexstore automatic magazines. Some of the main advantages include fast, accurate tool setting thanks to the Saw-Set device, the possibility to perform even the most complex cutting diagrams in very short periods of time with FlexCut and a drastic reduction in waste thanks to the Maestro Ottimo Cut cutting optimiser.

For the nesting beam saw, the morbidelli x400/x200 numeric control machining centres have been designed to satisfy the key demands of “batch 1” machining. Some of the advantages include the innovative labelling system and cutting speed of up to 50 m/min that result in a previously inconceivable productivity for machines in this category.

Edgebanding and squaring

Working on straight and shaped boards, delicate edges and state-of-the-art materials with reduced set-up times and state-of-the-art flexible gluing systems. These are the positive aspects of the stefani edgebanding and squaring range.

From the stand-alone machines to the edgebanding and squaring lines and cells, the range includes state-of-the-art technologies to machine softforming profiles that include the creation of J-Shape edges.

Drilling-routing-inserter

Also highlighted for shaped panels is the range of morbidelli p200 /800 machining centres for drilling, routing and edge treatment.

The innovative edging unit can attach edges to panels as thick as 80mm and the exclusive intelligent HE-POD suction cups allow the size of the worktable to be used in full thanks to the alternative lifting of the pieces.

Surface treatment

SCM offers a wide range of sanding, pressing/panel veneering and finishing systems to achieve exclusive, sophisticated solutions, including the 3D effects increasingly sought after in the high-end kitchen industry.

All this is possible thanks to the innovative operator units on the dmc sanding and calibrating machines and the sergiani 3D form membrane presses, to veneer even surfaces that are uneven.

For a finish of exceptional quality, SCM offers a vast range of superfici paint spraying and excimer treatment systems. Using this technology guarantees an opaque appearance below 5 gloss, without resistance compromises, and ensures a natural and sophisticated effect. 

The advanced spraying robots adapt to the eccentric and unusual geometrical requests, guaranteeing extraordinary, customised solutions for any surface.

Drilling and insertion of hardware parts

There are an extensive selection of solutions for SCM’s morbidelli drilling, ensuring maximum flexibility and productivity even for medium/small batches:

  • morbidelli un/cx numeric control drilling centres, standing out thanks to the RO.AX electro-spindle with a rotation speed of up to 8,000 rpm
  • morbidelli pwx100 and morbidelli z100 drilling machines for automatic lines characterised by a productivity of up to 5,000 pieces/shift and excellent finishing quality and precision

Assembly and packing

The range of clamps for action cabinets guarantees accurate monitoring and efficient squaring of the piece of furniture. One new entry for assembly is the 3050mm version for action p and tf.

Some of SCM’s latest entries for packaging include the cut c 200 – an automatic punching machine for the just in time cutting and production of open cardboard boxes, with the required sizes and shape, and the pack c 100, an automatic solution for packaging with hot melt glue, starting with the pre-punched sheet of cardboard.

Automation systems

Optimise and simplify the process logistics, and relieve operators from repetitive, low added value work. SCM’s automated, flexible cells can be integrated by articulated industrial robots, collaborative robots for assembly work, inserting hardware, glue dispensing and surface finish, and AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) that can be programmed according to the productivity unit plant and ability to move with maximum safety.

Digital transformation and Industry 4.0

SCM provides software and digital services that can accompany you at any stage when creating a piece of furniture, from data and machine program preparation, to planning and optimisation, production and monitoring and after-sales assistance. 

MES systems like Maestro easyFlow for a factory that is increasingly connected and integrated, line supervisors and Maestro active watch HMI software cell, simple and intuitive for monitoring the machining status, from the start to end of the process.

Supporting the production monitoring stages, machine maintenance and after-sales assistance, as well as Digital Services enabled by the Maestro connect platform guarantee maximum performance of the production plants, together with constant support from SCM’s best technicians.

Creating kitchen tops and sides with CMS Stone Technology

Ceramics, quartz and natural stone increasingly combine with wood to create furniture and environments with a strong aesthetic appeal. Thanks to its numerous aesthetic and practical qualities, ceramic, in particular, is increasingly recommended by architects and designers for luxury furniture surface sides and for kitchen tops.

CMS Stone Technology’s systems for water jet cutting are modular and highly versatile, capable of satisfying even the most complex production needs, like the processing of thin layers up to 3mm needed for the ceramic sizes of wooden furniture components.

brembana easyline is the three or five-axis pure or hydraulic abrasive water jet cutting system that makes its mark with:

  • high levels of accuracy and excellent results for your products, with an excellent quality/price ratio
