Hamster – your CNC milling machine for orthopedic insoles

Precise, efficient and user-friendly – our CNC milling machine Hamster is the ideal solution for the automated production of high-quality orthopedic insoles.

Robust mechanics. Perfect precision.

The Hamster is a CNC milling machine for industrial use, specifically designed to meet the requirements of insole production. Equipped with Bosch linear guides and ball screws on all axes, it ensures highly precise milling results. Its solid steel construction minimizes vibration, even at high speeds.

Milling results that speak for themselves

Experience top-quality results thanks to our optimized milling strategy and premium components.

  • Specifically designed for EVA materials – no odors, low dust emission
  • 2 kW spindle for EVA, wood, and hard foam
  • Integrated air barrier to protect the spindle
  • Sophisticated extraction system for dust-free operation

Save time through efficient production

Maximize your productivity with the Hamster. Produce up to four pairs of insoles in one run and save valuable time.

  • Fast milling cycles: Depending on size, shape, and quality settings, the milling time is approximately 15 minutes per insole (size 42, standard quality). Up to four pairs can be produced simultaneously – saving time and streamlining your workflow.
  • Integrated vacuum table: Preconfigured for our insole milling blanks and designed for parallel milling of four pairs. The setup can be easily adjusted for custom or pre-punched blanks.
  • Ready to use: Delivered fully assembled on a stable base frame. Integrated components such as the vacuum pump, control unit, and frequency converter ensure smooth operation.
  • Easy maintenance: Thanks to its open design, components can be quickly replaced and maintenance can easily be carried out by your own staff.

User-friendly operation

Operating the Hamster is extremely simple – load, start, and mill! Optimize your workflow with our intuitive software solution.

The required control software is included. The NC file is generated using our FIFpro software, where you assign each milling job to one of the four positions on the vacuum table and generate the NC data.

For convenient operation, we recommend installing the control software and FIFpro on the same PC, although it is also possible to use two separate PCs. Within FIFpro, you can adjust the table layout, define milling strategies and set output folders for NC files.

It is also possible to create NC files for multiple milling machines from a single FIFpro workstation.
