The BOF 311 Optimat series was designed by the HOMAG Group as a high-capacity, heavy-duty entrance machine for automated industrial manufacturing. The structure features a highly stable gantry design engineered to withstand aggressive routing stresses while maintaining precision. It handles workpieces up to 300 mm thick and features a flat MATRIX high-vacuum grid table optimized for nested sheet fabrication. Driven by a high-torque spindle and integrated digital control loops, the machine operates as a centralized hub for everything from complex furniture parts to heavy door routing

- Optimized Nesting Integration: The localized MATRIX table allows a user to lay down thin MDF spoilboards for seamless, full-bleed nested sheet drilling and routing.
- High-Speed Axis Traversal: Rapid vector acceleration speeds of up to 113 m/min reduce cycle times drastically during large-format processing.
- Exceptional Rigid Stability: The massive 20,000 lbs frame absorbs heavy spindle vibration to maintain sub-millimeter edge routing finishes across continuous shifts.
- Flexible Multi-Axis Expansion: Equipped with a continuous 4th axis (C-Axis) to automatically rotate horizontal boring aggregates and saw aggregates at any angle.
- Alternating Field Operation: Generous bed dimensions allow for safe alternating pendulum processing, meaning an operator can safely unload parts on one side while the machine runs on the other.
- Brand / Manufacturer: HOMAG Group
- Machine Type: Optimat BOF 311/38/R
- Serial / Machine Number: 0-201-03-6857
- Year of Manufacture: 2003
- Voltage Input: 480 V
- Frequency: 60 Hz (Three-phase + Neutral)
- Amperage: 46 A
- Control Voltage: 24 V
- Software Environment: This machine is natively compatible with the HOMAG woodWOP programming suite, allowing the operator to design graphical macro blocks directly on the floor console or import external DXF CAD geometry.
- Extraction Requirements: Requires an extensive industrial baghouse dust collection network with a dedicated high-volume blower to handle the large volumes of chips thrown off by the main routing head.
- Safety Integration: To comply with safety standards, this machine uses integrated multi-zone pressure safety floor mats and automated interlocked fencing boundaries to emergency-stop the machine if an operator steps into the active travel envelope.
