Key Features
Control System
TekMov Control System
Our touchscreen user interface provides an intuitive control panel, designed to make router operation simple. Beginning development in 1986, the Tekmov control system has been running and advancing with CNC technology for over 30 years.
Mechanical Features
HSD Spindle (4.5kW)
Our P Series routers are fit with durable Italian-made HSD 4.5kW spindles. Their robust design is capable of variable speeds up to 24,000 RPM. Resistant to high running temperatures, their internal ceramic bearings ensure long life and quiet operation.
Automatic Tool Change
All Tekcel routers are equipped with an auto-tool change system, which can support up to 99 tools, and store up to 10 in the tool rack at any time. A time-efficient solution that supports the growing demands of industrial manufacturing.
Automatic Tool Length Sensor
Hands-off tool sensing measures your tool’s exact length – minimizing the chances of under or over-cutting. Toggle on for any tool bit to sense the tool’s length before its next use.
Ballscrew Drive
All axes are fit with a recirculating ball screw drive system. This eliminates the contact wear and backlash common with rack and pinion systems, delivering reliable accuracy and repeatability in position.
Linear Rails
Smooth travel and a high level of accuracy are enhanced by linear rails on all four axes. Easy access grease points and recirculating balls inside these bearing blocks reduce wear over time.
Brushless Servo Motors
AC servo motors work with our controller to constantly check their position and compensate for extra load while cutting. This closed feedback loop enables the controller to maintain cutting accuracy at all times.
Dust Foot Guard
Our dust foot guard is designed to protect the operator during cutting, as well as catch excess swarf to help keep your work area clean.
Steel Construction
Our routers are machined and welded with precision to ensure rigid construction – reducing vibration and allowing for finely tuned cut quality. Heat treating relieves internal stresses, assuring machining accuracy and stability.
Table Top
Extruded Aluminium Slats
We use proprietary aluminium extrusions, compatible with T- slot clamping systems and specially designed to withstand the stresses of our strong vacuum hold down. This, in combination with our precision-milled plastic top, creates a table with the flatness required for cut-to-mask applications.
Dust Extraction
Vacuum Dust Foot
When lowered, our vacuum dust foot shields the router bit and collects debris while cutting. The foot can be adjusted to a fixed height or left to glide across material for optimum suction. Choose from a variety of interchangeable dust feet to suit your application.
Vacuum Hold Down
Linear Vacuum Tabletop
Each table slat acts as a linear vacuum channel to hold down sheet material while cutting. Set to automatic or manual operation from the touchscreen controller.
CAD/CAM Software
Vectric VCarve Pro
Vectric VCarve Pro CAD/CAM software is supplied with each Tekcel P Series router under an Education Classroom License. This license is tailored for a single classroom setting, enabling up to 40 students and one teacher to easily access and utilize CNC design software.
VCarve Pro provides a powerful but intuitive software solution for creating and cutting parts on a CNC router.

Start Up Kits
Tooling Start-Up Kit
Our tooling startup kit ensures you have everything you need to get you up and running on delivery. Each machine comes with a set of five tool holders, your choice of five tools with five matching collets and a blank 8GB USB Flash Drive.
Safety & Maintenance Kit
We provide a general safety and maintenance kit with every machine. This kit contains earmuffs, safety glasses, grease gun & coupler, grease cartridge, tool holder cleaning pad, CRC and shim plates for machine leveling.
Accessories
Alignment & Registration
Wireless Pulse Generator
The wireless pulse generator is used for fine origin adjustment. Wireless connection with the touchscreen control panel allows the operator to be next to the machine and closely observe as they make changes to the X, Y and Z origins.
Surface Probe
Our surface probe allows you to cut to a consistent depth on uneven surfaces. Great for unique materials or fine engraving work. The system creates a map specific to your material and references this continuously while cutting to ensure accurate depth at all points.
Dust Extraction
Tekcel Dust Extractor
Our high-pressure wet and dry dust extraction system ensures minimal cleanup after cutting. Integration into the router’s control system provides the ability to choose from manual or automatic operation. Includes an articulated arm and 10 meters of hose.
Articulated Swing Arm
Our durable, steel swing arm rotates with the machine, keeping the Z Axis extraction hose suspended during cutting. This clearance allows the machine to move freely across the bed preventing collisions with the hose.
Dust Extractor Muffler
For use with our Tekcel Dust Extractor to reduce noise levels during machine operation. Recommended when the machine is positioned in a busy work environment. Use alongside our Vacuum Pump Muffler for extra noise reduction.
Dust Extractor Switch Gear
Using a switch gear enables you to integrate a third party dust extractor into your machine system. Once set up, the dust extractor can be controlled through our user interface, with options for automatic or manual activation.
P Series Short Bristle Attachment
Designed with thick, durable bristles this dust foot is great for routing metal, withstanding high heats that are produced while cutting. Extra space around the router bit aids in the clearing of larger chips while bristles prevent surface scratches and catch swarf before extraction.
P Series Long Bristle Attachment
Great for processing wood or deep 3D work across varying planes. Our long bristle dust foot is lined with soft bristles, measuring 40mm long. This curtain works to minimize cleanup by keeping the router bit and excess swarf concealed while cutting.
Vacuum Hold Down
Vacuum Pump Muffler
Connects to the vacuum exhaust to reduce noise levels during machine operation. We recommended adding a muffler when the machine is positioned in a busy work environment. Use alongside our Dust Extractor Muffler for extra noise reduction.

Knife Cutting & Creasing
OptiCUT System
Designed to use alongside our OptiCAM system for print and cut work. Our OptiCUT delivers the precision required for detailed knife work. Compatible with a variety of blades and capable of working with or without oscillation.
Note: OptiCUT cutting area is reduced by 170mm along the Y Axis.
Camera & Registration
OptiCAM System
Mounted beside the spindle, the OptiCAM reads printed registration marks on material and aligns plot files, making adjustments for stretch, shrinkage, or positioning. Includes ProfileLAB OptiLab module.
Coolant Systems
Base Coolant Atomiser
Designed for occasional use, our base coolant atomizer uses a 200mL reservoir suited to shorter jobs. A great option for those seeking a cost-effective solution for processing infrequent coolant work.
Safety Barriers
Light Curtain
Our light curtain keeps one machine side open, while still providing protection during machine operation. Using a parallel transmitter and receiver, an invisible safety screen is powered up while cutting. If obstructed, the machine stops – protecting the operator from moving machinery.
Light Curtain Corner
For use when two open machine sides are preferred. Use alongside our standard Light Curtain to reflect the light screen to 90 degrees. Wrap the screen around the side of the machine without compromising the integrity of the system.
Mesh Barrier
Mesh Barriers are used where the machine requires physical blocking. Barriers are made from 25mm x 25mm wire mesh. Height and width will be configured to your selected machine size and workshop requirements.
