The S-Series is an industrial 3-Axis fixed bridge CNC router designed to process dense materials, such as solid wood, advanced polymer plastics, composites, and nonferrous metals. It provides fast acceleration, deceleration, and feed rates. The single table moves longways under the bridge, an ergonomic design that gives operators unobstructed access to three sides of the table for easy loading and unloading of large workpieces and tooling. It also allows for the easy integration of material-handling systems, transfer tables, and a wide range of automation alternatives.Ā
Integrate C.R. Onsrudās automated material-handling systems that fit the flow of your production. With customized linear and cell-based solutions, you get as much or as little automation as you need, from simple loading/offloading with or without pre-labeling to fully automated material storage and retrieval systems with integrated routers and saws. See also Automation for more information.
By adding a second spindle, you can double your production by performing machining operations simultaneously on the same machine. For larger parts, park one spindle to have access to the entire table.

Customize the S-Series with accessories. Here you’ll find ways to increase your productivity by adding a 4th axis to a 3-axis machine; select your tool lubrication; eliminate measuring errors with automatic tool measurement systems; and more.
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.
MQL
Primarily used for metals, Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) dispenses only the amount of lubricant needed for your specific operation to keep tools cool and improve cut quality.
DIRECTIONAL AIR BLAST
Directional air blast blows air on the tooltip to aid in removing debris and cool tools. The direction of air changes relative to the path of the machine. It can be turned on/off via M-Code.
ATLM SYSTEM (METROL)
Precisely measures the length of your tool and automatically feeds that value into your CNC machine controls.
ATLM SYSTEM: TS27R (RENISHAW)
Precisely measures the length and diameter of your tool and automatically feeds that value into your CNC machine controls. It also detects if a tool is broken.
ATLM: NC4 (RENISHAW)
Precisely measures the length and diameter of your tool, without contact, and automatically feeds that value into your CNC machine controls. It also detects if a tool is broken. NC4 is application dependent; table constraints may apply.
AUTOMATIC GREASE LUBRICATION
Automatically greases your tools, bearings, and ball screws at regular intervals.
GREASE DRIP PANS
Drip pans (a.k.a. trays) catch excess lubrication that might otherwise cause contamination or other hazards.
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 you’re machining and your production environment.
DUST HOOD
Targeted to the machining area, a dust hood suctions away dust and debris that can impact your health as well as the performance of your CNC machine.
Note: Due to the range of motion required for 5-axis machines, a machine enclosure is recommended over a dust hood.
SERVO HOODā¢
With CR Onsrud’s innovative servo-positioned dust hood, we have improved upon the standard 2-position dust hood and given the CNC machine the ability to automatically adjust the dust hood’s height offset based on tool length, relative to the workpiece. This helps customers, who machine with a variety of tool lengths, get the most effective dust collection regardless of the tool length.
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.
OVERHEAD OFFLOAD DUST HOOD
Targeted to the machining area, a dust hood suctions away dust and debris that can impact your health as well as the performance of your CNC machine.
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.
REAR ENCLOSURE
Partial standalone enclosures provide additional safety when the back of a machine is not against a wall.Ā
MANUAL SLIDING DOORS
These doors are manually controlled by you for access to the machine’s enclosure. For safety purposes, the doors should be closed when the machine is in operation.
AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS
These doors are activated and controlled by PMC servo motors. For safety purposes, the machine is placed in a feed hold state if the doors are not properly closed.
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.
Automated material-handling systems fit the flow of your production to make manufacturing processes more efficient and safe.
STATIC PRE-STAGE TABLE WITH OR WITHOUT PUSHER
Automatically reloads the scissor lift with another bunk of material prior to the first bunk running out. Since your material load is always stocked, you never have to synchronize your forklift timing or stop production.Ā
SIDE LOADER
The side loader uses vacuum to lift material from the side of the CNC machining table enabling an operator to safely and automatically load heavy materials.
REAR LOADER
The rear loader uses vacuum to lift material from the back of the CNC machining table enabling an operator to safely and automatically load heavy materials.
PUSHER SWEEPER
The pusher automatically clears the machining area by moving parts to an offload table while the sweeper sucks up any additional dust and debris.
STATIC OUTFEED
A static outfeed table provides a work area for sorting and stacking parts without interrupting the machining operations.Ā
CONVEYOR OUTFEED
Safely and automatically moves parts (e.g., heavy and bulky ones) down your machineās production line for easy off-loading.
PRE-LABELING SYSTEM
Pre- or post-affix removable labels to parts for tracking, identification, or to provide descriptive details. (Most common for cabinets and sheet goods).
PART MARKING - INK
Applies marks (e.g., alpha-numeric), without contact, for part tracking. Marks can be permanent or removed based on how porous the material is.
PART MARKING - PAINT
Applies one or multiple colored paint for layout lines and shapes/symbols needed downstream (e.g., hot/cold water lines, nail locations, wiring, etc.) (Commonly used in the prefab home industry).
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.

Note: (Requires a 5-axis machine unless an aggregate is utilized)
DEDICATED AGGREGATE STATION
With a dedicated aggregate station, you can automatically store and retrieve specialty tools (such as saw blades) that are too large or heavy to fit in a standard automatic tool changer.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 VACUUM ZONES
With custom vacuum zones, you tailor the size and location of vacuum areas for part-holding and can shut off sections of the table to concentrate vacuum to specific zones.
ONSRUD MATRIX GRID TABLE
The Onsrud grid table provides a grid pattern for multiple part-holding options, such as gasketing, vacuum pods, clamps, etc. and is compatible with most third-party products.
CUSTOM / MECHANICAL FIXTURING TABLE
Custom fixturing is adapted to hold irregularly shaped parts or panels that cannot be held by traditional methods.
T-SLOT
The channels of T-Slot tables are used for linear positioning of clamps and vices across the surface of the machine’s table.Ā
LATHE (ROTARY)
With a rotary axis lathe or chuck, your machine operates as a turning center with live tuning. It rotates bar stock and long and skinny components to create chair legs, columns, etc.
REFERENCE (POP-UP) PINS
Reference pins are for quick, reliable, and repeatable placement of your workpieces on your CNC machine.Ā
SURFACE PROBE
A surface probe or part finder helps your machine accurately identify the position of your material on your worktable.
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.
VISION RECOGNITION (FIDUCIAL)
A fiducial vision recognition system scans for reference points to identify a sheet’s position. The program and tool paths automatically adjust to the position.
Note: This option is common in the signmaking industry where sheets are otherwise difficult to align perfectly.Ā
