Tuckwell Machinery supplies and supports a specialist range of CNC drilling machines for wood and composite panel processing — delivering accuracy, speed and low running costs for Australian workshops. Explore our Vitap line-up below, including compact single-gripper solutions and advanced CNC hole drilling machines with Double Dynamic Transport® (DDT) and Bar Nesting technology.
Innovation and precision in a compact footprint. The LEONARDO 6-SIDE features a reinforced tubular frame and a fixed working table with a symmetric head to maintain accuracy over time. It processes all six faces of a panel with CNC-managed partial suction to reduce energy consumption, plus a redesigned, reinforced DDT – Dynamic Double Transport system for smooth, reliable handling.
Max panel: X ∞, Y 1300, Z 80 mm | Min panel: X 135, Y 100, Z 3 mm
6-position automatic tool changer
Top head: 15 vertical spindles; 4 horizontal X; 4 horizontal Y; 1 grooving blade Ø125 mm
Top pantograph unit: 11 kW ISO30 interface; optional 4th axis
Bottom head: 9 vertical spindles; 1 router ER32 – 3.3 kW
Plug & Play installation; minimal setup time
GALILEO uses two robust grippers with a linear guide and recirculating ball screw, driven by brushless motors and an algorithm that coordinates their movement — Vitap’s patented DDT® Double Dynamic Transport. Panels rest on the cabinet interior side during machining to protect visible faces from imperfections.
Quick installation with minimal maintenance
No suction cups required; modest extraction of 2000 m³/h
Large Y-axis area: 920 mm
PC control with intuitive, modern interface
Compact footprint ideal for space-efficient workshops
Vitap GALILEO — patented DDT® double gripper system for seamless panel handling and flawless outer faces.
KAIROS is a compact, cost-effective CNC drilling and routing centre designed for flexible, on-demand production. The PC-based control with a modern graphical interface makes it simple for non-specialist operators to import files and run jobs efficiently.
Patented belt-driven panel handling system
Fast drilling & channels (approx. 16 s per cycle)
Standard laser for perfect joint accuracy
Low maintenance, low energy use
Approx. 5 m² footprint — compact and Plug & Play ready
Vitap KAIROS — single-gripper efficiency for drilling, channelling and pantograph machining in a small footprint.
K3 delivers the power of four machines in one — cutting, profiling, drilling and routing — machining five faces of a panel in around four minutes using Vitap’s patented Bar Nesting System® and DDT® double gripper transport. No suction cups or sacrificial profiles are needed, reducing costs and setup time.
