Gunstock Blank Cutting with the JXH B06-0630 AI Cutting Machine
This gunstock manufacturer uses JXH AI cutting to process rough beech boards into rifle stocks, short stocks and square blanks before four-axis or five-axis machining.
700-800gunstock blanks per day, depending on stock size and board quality
+10-15%material utilization improvement compared with the previous process
55.0% / 62.8%utilization examples from two different rough boards

Customer Challenge
The customer previously followed a long manual process: rough board edge trimming, cutting large boards into smaller pieces, manual line marking, band saw blanking, and then four-axis or five-axis machining. For natural gunstock material, each board has different shape, grain, bark edge and defect conditions, so manual judgment directly affected yield and production stability.
Process Change After JXH AI Cutting
Original Process
Rough board edge trimming
Large board cut into smaller boards
Manual marking and layout
Band saw blanking
Four-axis or five-axis machining
Current Process with JXH
Rough board placed directly on the JXH AI Cutting Machine
AI scanning and automatic nesting
CNC cutting of gunstock blanks, short stocks and squares
Downstream four-axis or five-axis machining
AI Nesting for Two Board Types
The case includes two real layouts from different beech boards and different product combinations. The software places rifle stock blanks, short stock blanks and square blanks into the usable board area while avoiding unusable edges and defects.

On-Site Cutting and Finished Blanks
After AI nesting is confirmed, the JXH B06-0630 cuts the rough board into stable blanks for the next machining step. The customer mainly uses the system before four-axis or five-axis shaping operations.
