EX-SERIES
Heavy-Duty Extrusion Processing Machine
Work Area
with 11ā² - 52ā²+ X-Travel
The EX-Series is a 5-Axis machining center for processing a high-mix of heavy and complex linear profile extrusions in aluminum, composite, and other advanced materials. It comes with a fully CNC programmable, servo-powered, quick-change clamping system that incorporates part separation and indexing. The 5-Axis capability combined with the automated clamping system provides effective hold-down, even for warped extrusions or pultrusions, as well as provides up to 6-sided access to your workpiece without having to reposition your material ā delivering precision angles, undercuts, and surface finishes at high speed. For lighter duty applications, see the X-Series.

Customize the X-Series with accessories. Here youāll find selections beneficial to your specific application and ways to eliminate measuring errors with automatic tool measurement systems.
C-AXIS
With a C-Axis (aka 4th axis), you can machine at an angle, including on the sides of your material, to create complex contours (such as helixes), otherwise not possible with a 3-axis machine. This comes standard on a 5-axis machine.
AIR BLAST
Bursts of air keep tools cool and remove debris and chips from the cut without the need for coolant.
ATLM SYSTEM (METROL)
Precisely measures the length of your tool and automatically feeds that value into your CNC machine controls.
AUTOMATIC GREASE LUBRICATION
Automatically greases your tools, bearings, and ball screws at regular intervals.
VOLUMETRIC LASER COMPENSATION
With volumetric laser compensation, machining tools are automatically calibrated and the machine makes any necessary adjustments.
Note: Depending on your machine, C.R. Onsrud sends out a third-party A2LA-accredited company to your facility to perform volumetric compensation.
Dust management systems connected to appropriate dust collection systems capture chips, dust, and other airborne particles that would otherwise be harmful to humans and the machining environment. We offer dust management systems that are geared toward the materials youāre machining and your production environment.
DUST STANCHION KIT
Designed for low ceilings and shop floors with layout constraints, a dust collection stanchion kit transitions dust to your collector from either side of the machine.
FLOATING DUCT
A floating duct reduces the drag of vacuum hoses and ductwork on long travel machines and moves the hoses out of the way of overhead cranes and forklift loaders. See this video to see how.
AIR KNIFE
Engineered especially for fine or coarse chips (e.g., hard composites, fiber cement, metal, etc.), programmable air knives clear harmful debris from your linear guides.
GANTRY ENCLOSURE
The gantry enclosure surrounds the gantry to protect you from potentially dangerous routing components and operations as well as the dust and debris caused by routing.Ā
RETRACTABLE BELLOWS ROOFING SYSTEM
A bellow roof covers the top section of your machining mill to completely enclose it and contain debris. It can retract to give unobstructed access to a forklift or overhead crane and it can adjust with the movement of your spindle or gantry.
CHIP PANS
Located beneath the machine’s vacuum table, chip pans collect dust and debris from the work environment. These can be manually cleaned or integrated with a dust collection system.
CHIP CONVEYORS
The chip conveyor carries away end cuts and other debris from your workspace.
ENCLOSURE DUST COLLECTION PORTS
Dust collection ports are integrated with your vacuum system to move dust and debris away from the work area.
LASER SAFETY SCANNER
The Onsrud Laser Safety Scanner sets an invisible barrier that triggers your machine’s E-Stop when crossed.
SENSING MATS
Sensing mats sense the pressure of an operator or object on them, alerting the machine to turn off.
The X-Series comes standard with a roller bar for material transfer and support. Infeed and outfeed automation systems are typically not integrated with the X-Series except as listed below. If you are looking for material-handling infeed and outfeed systems, seeĀ AutomationĀ for more information orĀ contact us. We are happy to discuss options with you.
STANDALONE LABEL PRINTER
This auxiliary equipment can create and affix labels to parts for tracking and identifying parts for use in downstream operations or at the job site.
BARCODE SCANNER
Scan a barcode (machine-readable data) from a document and the machine automatically retrieves the specified program, tooling list, and set-up directions for that job.
ROBOTICS INTEGRATION
Devices are strategically incorporated into your production to automatically perform repetitive tasks, so you and your team can focus on projects that grow your business.
Onsrud Tooling is a direct and easy way to buy high-quality cutting tools at great prices for your Onsrud machine.
Ā
Drill Blocks:
Ā
Drill Blocks support the simultaneous machining of a set number of holes, evenly spaced with the same or varying diameters. These are not available on a 5-axis machine, but if youāre interested in this capability, see ourĀ 3-axis machines.
Ā
Aggregates:
Ā
Depending on your specific applications, the X-Series supports 1000ās of specialty tools to perform specialized functions for unique projects. Not all aggregates work with every machine configuration. We recommend discussing your specific application requirements with our team.
Ā
Saw Blades:
Ā
Saw BladesĀ attach to a CNC machine to create intricate notches, miter cuts, and straight cuts on up to 5 sides of your material on a 5-axis machine or by outfitting a 3-axis machine with an aggregate. The saw can also be used as a cutoff tool.
Not sure what you need? Weāve got you covered,Ā our knowledgeable staffĀ is on hand to help with your tooling needs.
AGGREGATE RING
The Aggregate Anti-Rotational Retention Ring mounts to the underside of the spindle, giving it the capability to pick up specialized tooling from the Automatic Tool Changer and preventing the aggregate head from rotating during machining.
90Ā° HEAD
A 90Ā° head gives you the capability to perform lateral machining operations on a 3-axis machine.
DUO 90Ā° HEAD
A Duo 90Ā° head gives you the capability to perform lateral machining operations using different tools in opposite directions on a 3-axis machine.
400mm DEDICATED STATION
With a dedicated aggregate station, you can automatically store and retrieve a 400mm saw blade.Ā
550mm DEDICATED STATION
With a dedicated aggregate station, you can automatically store and retrieve a 550mm saw blade.Ā
These devices accurately locate your workpiece in orientation to the table and the tooling. To properly secure your workpieces, it is important to have the correct work-holding device for the material you are cutting. Proper work holding and material positioning ensure precise and efficient machining.
CUSTOM / MECHANICAL FIXTURING TABLE
Custom fixturing is adapted to hold irregularly shaped parts or panels that cannot be held by traditional methods.
PROBING
(RENISHAW PROBE)
A part-probing system adjusts the origin of your part prior to machining, performs in-process QC for tight tolerance applications, and performs post-machining QC to approve or reject a part before it is taken out of its work holding.
LASER PATTERN PROJECTION SYSTEM
Without touching the material, a Laser Pattern Projection Alignment System provides true to scale patterns of one or several aligned or nested objects, transferred from CAD software onto the CNC table.
Note: This option is common for high-mix shops and when using vacuum pods.
CLAMP POSITIONING SERVO
An Extrusion-Gripā¢ option, upon program startup, your machine automatically relocates each clamp to its pre-programmed position using servo motors that are individually located on each clamp.
QUICK-CHANGE SOFT JAWS
The quick-change soft jaws allow you to machine custom soft jaws for your specific profiles and quickly change from one to the other.
MATERIAL STOPS
Material Stops (or backstops) help position your workpiece by limiting how far the workpiece can travel.Ā
