The CNC pallet nailing table from Global Wood Machines is a flexible, programmable solution for manufacturers who want to automate pallet nailing while keeping the freedom to produce almost any pallet format. Operated by a single person, this CNC pallet nailing table combines computer-controlled nailing with a robotic arm for handling and an optional corner cutter, all in one compact cell.
One CNC pallet nailing table, hundreds of formats
The machine is built around an intuitive control interface that lets you customize nailing patterns — for example three nails in a triangle — and save programs for more than 200 pallet formats. Recalling a stored program means format changes take minutes, which makes the CNC pallet nailing table ideal for plants that run a high mix of pallet types.
Depending on the format being produced, the table can be configured with one or two nailing areas: two areas give faster cycle times on standard formats, while still allowing larger and non-standard pallets to be nailed on the same machine.
Robotic arm and corner cutter
A robotic arm handles the pallet after nailing, removing manual lifting from the process. When the workflow requires it, the cell can also integrate stacking systems, a corner cutting station or thermodynamic engraving of the finished pallet — turning a single nailing table into a complete finishing cell.
Key features
- Computer-controlled nailing with customizable nail patterns
- Stores programs for more than 200 pallet formats
- One or two nailing areas for a balance of speed and versatility
- Robotic arm for automatic pallet handling after nailing
- Optional corner cutter, stacking and engraving stations
- Operated by a single operator
Who the CNC pallet nailing table is for
This machine is aimed at pallet producers who need flexibility without giving up productivity. A high-mix manufacturer — one that switches frequently between standard EUR pallets, US formats and custom designs — benefits most, because the CNC pallet nailing table absorbs all of those formats in stored programs. Growing manufacturers also choose it as a first step into automation: a single operator and one machine can replace several manual nailing stations while improving consistency.
Configuration options
Global Wood Machines offers the CNC pallet nailing table in several configurations, from simple tables with wooden boards through to models with adjustable-height tables and plates that give maximum versatility for the most demanding producers. We help you choose the level of automation that matches your volume and budget, so you neither overspend on capacity you will not use nor under-specify a machine that will quickly become a bottleneck.
Productivity and quality benefits
Because nailing patterns are programmed and repeated identically, every pallet leaves the CNC pallet nailing table with nails in the correct position and fully driven. That consistency reduces customer rejections and protects the load rating of the pallet. The single-operator design lowers labour cost per pallet, and the saved-program system means a new operator can produce a complex format correctly on their first shift.
Integration and supply
The CNC pallet nailing table works as a standalone cell or alongside a Stringer nailing machine. Units are available new with worldwide installation, commissioning and operator training across the USA, Canada, Australia, Europe and the Middle East.
Training and ease of use
Automation only pays off if the people on the floor can run it confidently. The CNC pallet nailing table is built around an intuitive interface precisely so that operators reach productive output quickly, and the stored-program system means a complex format is recalled rather than re-created from memory. Global Wood Machines includes operator training as part of every installation, covering daily operation, format changes and routine maintenance. The result is a machine that does not depend on a single experienced operator: any trained team member can produce any saved format correctly, which protects production continuity through holidays, shift changes and staff turnover.
