CDM Okna, a company present for years in the premium wooden joinery segment and recognized as one of the leaders of the Polish market, is carrying out another strategic investment project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its latest purchase \u2013 the five-axis machining center Saomad Performance 5 \u2013 opens up new technological possibilities, enabling the production of windows with complex geometry and even higher quality parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovative window design and higher service standards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As emphasized by Grzegorz Kr\u00f3l, CEO of CDM Okna<\/a>, the investment in an advanced machining center goes hand in hand with the introduction of a completely new window concept. The segmented frame allows for the replacement of individual damaged elements without dismantling the entire joinery. This significantly reduces service costs, shortens repair times, and increases product durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another innovation is the possibility of dual-color painting of frame segments \u2013 a solution that simplifies the finishing process and eliminates the need for repeated masking of elements. This avoids additional costs and time-consuming operations, which until now have been a major technological challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The frame profile has been designed to maximize glazing surface \u2013 a clear trend across the industry. Slimmer frames allow for better daylighting of interiors while maintaining high insulation parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to CEO Kr\u00f3l, the new product is targeted both at the domestic market and Southern Europe \u2013 mainly Spain, Italy, and Greece \u2013 where expectations regarding design and joinery quality are particularly high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced Saomad Performance 5 technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maciej Szydlowski from ITA \u2013 CDM Okna\u2019s partner responsible for the implementation and servicing of Saomad machines \u2013 explains the technical details of the installation. The Performance 5 center<\/strong><\/a> was designed as a modular production line with three zones: loading, machining, and unloading. The entire process is controlled by one system, allowing for smooth and automated production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A critical factor in the implementation was the precision of machine alignment and leveling. The permissible geometric deviation could not exceed 0.02 mm, which was crucial for the subsequent accuracy of wooden component fitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The machine is equipped with five spindles \u2013 single-axis, dual-axis, and five-axis \u2013 which work in parallel, increasing machining flexibility. Liquid-cooled HSD spindles ensure high precision, and the machining time of a single element is less than one minute. This means that the line\u2019s efficiency significantly exceeds the solutions previously used in the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Software integration and full quality control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An integral part of the system is Archimede software from Kosmosoft<\/strong>, which integrates all production stages \u2013 from order entry, through programming, to final machining. Thanks to the intuitive interface and automation, one operator can simultaneously handle two machines, controlling loading, machining, and unloading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety and quality are supported by the full enclosure of the machine and a monitoring camera system, which enables real-time process control. The operator can detect and eliminate material defects or tool damage in real time, preventing major failures and production losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New machining philosophy and production flexibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Performance 5 from Saomad is the result of many years of R&D. A unique solution is the use of two cross-cuts and one longitudinal cut from a single clamp, guaranteeing perfect profile parallelism and high dimensional repeatability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance 5 includes its own integrated stock of 400 timber blanks from which elements are drawn for machining, ensuring very high operator-free autonomy. During loading \u2013 possible at any time regardless of machine operation \u2013 the Everest magazine identifies elements by barcode and verifies them with the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orders can be queued or even individual windows produced out of sequence. Everest sorts and delivers elements to maximize Performance 5 efficiency, for example by minimizing tool change times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy efficiency and process automation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The machine has been equipped with energy-saving solutions \u2013 motors start only during the machining of a given element. Combined with CDM Okna\u2019s own photovoltaic farm, which provides around 40% of the plant\u2019s energy demand, the investment helps reduce costs and increase the company\u2019s energy independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, thanks to large raw material and finished product storage, the center can work continuously during long shifts. One operator, managing two parallel machines, can significantly increase overall productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key role of collaboration and skilled staff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Saomad<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to Grzegorz Kr\u00f3l, the implementation of such an advanced machine required close cooperation among many partners \u2013 Saomad<\/strong>, its supplier ITA<\/a><\/strong>, tool provider TWT<\/strong>, software company Kosmosoft<\/strong>, and CDM Okna<\/strong>\u2019s team of specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only a well-trained staff \u2013 operators, technicians, and programmers \u2013 can fully exploit the potential of this technology. \u201cThe machine itself represents the highest technological level, but only synergy with a properly prepared team ensures optimal results,\u201d stresses Kr\u00f3l.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CDM Okna \u2013 premium joinery on a European scale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The investment in Saomad Performance 5 is another step in the development of CDM Okna, strengthening its position in the premium joinery segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to this technology, the company can produce modern, aesthetic, and precise wooden windows that meet the growing demands of both domestic and European markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an example of how the combination of craftsmanship with automation and digitalization enables products that deliver a real competitive advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CDM Okna demonstrates that Polish wooden joinery can successfully compete with Europe\u2019s biggest players, offering solutions that combine innovation with practical serviceability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe machine itself is technologically very advanced, but to take full advantage of it, a well-trained staff and cooperation with technology partners are essential.\u201d \u2013 Grzegorz Kr\u00f3l, CEO of CDM Okna<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
