Machining of structures
Beam machining centre for pieces over 13 m, from our machining catalogue or made to measure. We work with the structural models in drawing files and return the 3D drawing with all the construction details: we machine once the measurements are confirmed.
Wooden beams machined for installation: in glulam and solid wood, for structural or decorative elements, in pine, fir and other species, including tropical ones, in our standard sizes or made to measure, and with autoclave treatment, wood stain or fire-retardant treatment, if the project requires it.
- Machined beams over 13 m
- We work with softwoods, hardwoods and tropical hardwoods
- Technical advice included

Cross-cutting
Transverse cutting of wood planks. For example: a 4.00 m long plank cut into 2.50 m + 1.50 m.
Rip sawing
Lengthwise sawing of wood planks. For example: a 200 mm wide plank sawn into 150 mm + 50 mm.
Planing
Cleaning up all four faces of the plank. The edges can be left square, bevelled, rounded or with another moulding.
Machining
Mouldings, holes, joints and other finishes on the wood pieces.
CNC board machining
At Tractia we have a 5-axis CNC that machines board and gives our clients greater versatility in their orders. Beams over 13 m go through the beam machining centre. This CNC also allows us to offer a fast service for solid wood and board machining.
- 2D point-to-point machining
- 3D 5-axis machining
- Fast machining service for templates, prototypes and guides
- Made-to-measure work
Why we machine before treating
Machining carried out after treatment can impair it and leave points of attack in the wood. That is why we cut and machine before treating: this way we ensure that the product penetrates the entire surface of the wood evenly.
Wood is a natural material: the treatment does not alter its own characteristics, such as cracks or knots. Later machining can impair the treatment: in use class 3.1, apply preservative to the cut; in use classes 3.2 and 4, avoid machining the treated piece.
