Customization and partnership are the two keywords that led to the design and production of a brand new Gantry Line model.
Along with HOMAG Canada, GREDA finalised an ambitious project for Bourassa Doors Inc., a customer that manufactures high-quality doors in Québec. It's a Gantry Line 7525 model with steel tables, aluminium adjustable benches and a main operating group equipped with a single electro-spindle plus a 12-position revolving tool-changing tool-stock.
As Bourassa itself writes on its website: "This machining center represents a significant technological progress: it is the largest 5-axis CNC in North America to be specially designed for door processing, whether it is small parts that require excellent quality or doors of non-standard size. GREDA offers unprecedented flexibility at all levels, while ensuring unparalleled efficiency and precision".
An ambitious project indeed, but at the same time a challenging project both for GREDA's and HOMAG Canada's teams, that contributed to the production of an exceptional CNC machining center.

We presented Argo Doors only a few weeks ago, yet we’re ready with another huge news – let’s make it “double”: GREDA launches on the market a double head Argo CNC!
The 4016 FT model of Argo T2 is equipped with rexilon top double tables and two variable distance operative groups. Each head features a 5-axis unit with a single electro-spindle plus a 12-position rack-model tool-changer, a 26-independent-spindles boring unit and a tool setter for automatic tool length measurements.
The CNC allows to work in twin modality on the same table - in order to double the production of the same piece - or two different programs in each working area.
“Double” is the key word: are you interested in watching how these double heads work? Watch the video!
Argo range embraces a new model, especially designed for doors and jambs and able to process honeycomb doors.
Argo Doors is a 5-axis NC-machining center equipped with an AT table top, T-slots and adjustable aluminium benches, and provided with vacuum or clamping systems. The main operating group R1CU allows big removals and provides no less than 36 positions for tool changing.
The peculiarity of such Argo evolution – and that makes it different from Diva Doors, for example – consists in automatic positioning systems and a loading support with anti-scratch system that not only facilitate the operator’s activities, but reduce loading and positioning time, too.
An anuba hinges loader with additional side feeder, a tool-setter to adjust lengths and a 3D dynamic sensor that measures the workpiece complete Argo Doors’ configuration.

Expectations for the 2023 edition of LIGNA were at their highest, and we couldn’t have asked for more! During the challenging but exciting five days of Hannover international event we had the opportunity to meet all the partners we’ve been working together for years and thanks to whom we’re now able to follow and support customers all around the world.
Technical, sales and dealing networks allow us to be side by side with our clients since the very beginning of each project’s evolution, synergically working together in order to develop the one more suitable to every customer’s need. Not only CNCs, but winning ideas and solutions.
We didn’t miss the chance to exhibit some of our innovative NC-machining centers for woodworking: Poker V5, already well-known since we presented it at Xylexpo, has now become one of our finest solutions for those who need high performances combined with excellent quality; Diva Miter, an evolution of Diva range for jambs and angular pieces that perfectly represents how GREDA keeps on improving its customisation skills; and last but not least Venus V5, the upgraded version of an already patented CNC with multiple operating groups able to process up to 4 pieces simultaneously.
Furthermore, LIGNA 2023 was the perfect time for launching a significant new project for us: the Virtual Showroom! Users have the possibility to wander around the virtual version of our headquarters’ showroom in Italy and discover all the CNCs along with videos, brochures, and technical information.
That’s not the end: LIGNA represented a chance for team-building, too. Even if the team was numerically smaller than the actual corporate reality, we joined forces all day long and ended up with quality time and informal chats at dinner.
The energy LIGNA left us is not over and we’re working with even more dedication to reach new goals and carry out new projects.
