In modern woodworking, efficiency is everything. Reducing manual labour, increasing throughput, and maintaining precision are all key to staying competitive. AES (Advanced Engineering Solutions) offers a range of machines designed specifically to help workshops achieve these goals.


In this post, we explore top AES machines that deliver outstanding performance, automation, and value—helping you improve production without compromise.


AES Raptor Ultra


The AES Raptor Ultra is a fully automated CNC nesting machine that takes efficiency to a new level. Designed for continuous production, it combines high-speed cutting with automatic loading and unloading, making it ideal for high-volume manufacturers.


Key features include:


  • Heavy-duty steel construction

  • Integrated vacuum table

  • Fast tool change system

  • CAD/CAM compatibility


Whether you’re producing flat-pack furniture, kitchens, or interior panels, the Raptor Ultra can handle long production runs with minimal downtime.


AES Vega Pro


The AES Vega Pro is a powerful CNC router perfect for growing workshops. It combines performance and flexibility, with a 9 kW spindle, multiple bed sizes, and a wide range of configuration options.
