SCM Omal HG2 Automatic Hinge Drilling & Insertion Machine
A dedicated two-head hardware station that combines concealed-hinge boring and automatic hinge insertion into one repeatable cycle for cabinet doors, closet doors, refacing programs, furniture panels, and casegoods production.
Turn concealed-hinge preparation into a dedicated, controlled door-department process.
The SCM Omal HG2 is an automatic drilling and inserting machine for cabinet hinges. It is designed for door and panel components where hinge boring and hinge pressing must be repeatable, organized, and less dependent on hand layout or separate manual operations.
The first machining head is fixed while the second head is manually positioned using brake release and digital readout support. The machine then drills from below and inserts hinges automatically from removable loading magazines.
A 180–1500 mm working field, 10–40 mm panel-thickness range, adjustable reference stops, panel-presence sensing, and inductive hinge-presence protection make the HG2 a focused production station rather than a general-purpose CNC drilling machine.

Production Modes
Coordinate door referencing, hinge-hole boring, hinge delivery, insertion, and cycle protection within one dedicated station.
Mode 01
Door Referencing
Adjustable left and right reference stops support repeatable door orientation and hinge-location setup.
Mode 02
Bottom Drilling
The automatic cycle bores the concealed-hinge pattern from below using the selected drilling and tooling package.
Mode 03
Automatic Hinge Insertion
Hinges are delivered from removable magazines and pressed into the prepared door during the machine cycle.
Mode 04
Two-Head Positioning
The fixed first head and manually positioned second head support common door layouts with digital readout guidance.
Mode 05
Sensor-Protected Cycle
Panel-presence and inductive hinge-presence sensing support a more controlled daily production process.
Production Advantages
Focused Automation for the Hardware Stage
The HG2 consolidates operations, guides two-head setup, and manages hinge delivery within a compact dedicated workflow.
Drill and Insert in One Cycle
Combining boring and insertion reduces separate material handling and manual hinge-pressing stages.
Digital Two-Head Setup
The fixed first head and brake-released second head support common hinge spacing with digital readout assistance.
Removable Hinge Magazines
Quick-release automatic magazines support hinge loading, changeover, and an organized door-department process.
Equipment Range
Lineup Positioning
Manual Hardware Station
Fixture, Drill Press & Hand Press
Suitable for low-volume work where manual layout, separate drilling, and manual hinge insertion remain acceptable.

Production Environments
Where the Omal HG2 Fits
For shops where concealed-hinge preparation is a recurring production stage or a daily bottleneck.
Cabinet Door Departments
Kitchen, vanity, wall, base, and tall cabinet doors using repeat concealed-hinge layouts.
Keep hinge preparation organized, repeatable, and separate from general machining.
The HG2 creates a focused station for concealed-hinge preparation rather than using CNC routing, line boring, hand layout, and manual pressing as disconnected steps.
Its two-head arrangement, automatic bottom drilling, removable hinge magazines, and sensing logic support repeat cabinet-door production while keeping the hardware package central to the process.
Final configuration should confirm the hinge brand, cup and fixing-hole geometry, head spacing, magazine package, door sizes, panel thickness, utilities, CSA requirements, installation, training, and service support.
