CNC milling machines and precision acrylic polishers

Medium- and large-format CNC routers — in-house design and manufacturing since 1983

BERMAQ manufactures CNC routers for all types of non-ferrous technical materials, as well as diamond-tool edge polishing machines for acrylic and PMMA. The company is also an official distributor of Shannon bending machines for thermoplastic sheets and Nettuno, a manufacturer of hot-wire CNC cutting machines for expanded and extruded polystyrene (EPS and XPS). If you are looking for a 3- or 5-axis CNC router or a customised machining centre, our technical team can help you determine the right machine configuration before requesting a quotation.

CNC machines for wood, plastics, aluminium, polystyrene, composites and other technical materials

Every material has its own requirements and behaves differently during machining. Hardness, mechanical strength, ductility and thermal conductivity are just some of the many factors that influence the machining process and the machine configuration.

Frequently asked questions about industrial CNC machines

What are the main structural differences between a CNC router for heavy-duty metalworking and one designed for woodworking?
Metal milling machines need an extremely rigid structure, usually cast iron, to withstand cutting forces and absorb vibration. They use high-torque, low-speed spindles and flood coolant. Wood routers prioritise work area and travel speed: aluminium or welded steel structures, high-speed spindles and critical dust extraction systems instead of liquid coolant.
When does a 5-axis configuration make more sense than a 3-axis machine?
5 axes are essential for complex geometries, undercuts or sculpted surfaces, common in aerospace, automotive and mould-making. They allow the part to be machined in a single setup, drastically reducing setup downtime and improving accuracy by eliminating manual repositioning error. If your parts only require perpendicular planes, a 3-axis machine with an indexed fourth axis is usually far more cost-effective.
Does BERMAQ manufacture bespoke machines?
Yes. Our R&D department develops specific configurations when the catalogue doesn't cover the client's process: special formats, particular heads, loading automation or integration with existing lines. We usually start from one of our platforms and adapt it.
Why choose diamond polishing?
Diamond-tool polishing leaves the edge of methacrylate and other technical plastics fully transparent and satin-finished in a single pass, with no need for prior sanding. Because we manufacture both the polishers and the tools ourselves, we guarantee a 100% precise fit between them, resulting in a higher-quality, faster finish at a lower cost than other edge-finishing methods.
What type of CNC router is needed for machining aluminium?
Aluminium requires a milling machine with a rigid, robust structure, high-speed spindles and enough torque to maintain precision on profiles, sheets and complex parts, plus a good cooling system to dissipate the heat generated during cutting. BERMAQ CNC milling machines for aluminium mill, drill, groove and cut with tight tolerances, adapting to sectors such as construction, transport or automotive.
Do you sell used machines?
Yes. We restore machines to optimum working condition and have fully refurbished used equipment ready for production. You can check availability in the used machines section.
