We’re introducing the “NCN1220,” a gantry-type model designed for high-precision machining. If you're considering introducing a Japanese-made CNC router and want to understand how it differs from other models, this overview will help guide your decision.
The NCN1220 is designed for factories that require precise, high-performance machining. As a gantry-type model, it offers a space-saving design while still accommodating large components and long workpieces. It comes equipped with a stable cutting system and an efficient automatic tool changer (ATC), making it suitable for a wide range of applications including furniture parts, industrial aluminum components, kitchen fittings, and building materials.
One of the standout features of the NCN1220 is its “complete head replacement” functionality. This allows operators to easily switch heads based on the type of work being done. With this flexibility, a single machine can handle workpieces of varying shapes, reducing the need for time-consuming tool changes and boosting overall productivity.
This is especially advantageous in production environments where multiple types of parts are processed regularly.
To support the precise machining of complex-shaped parts, the NCN1220 adopts simultaneous 4-axis control. Additionally, the hybrid vacuum and T-slot table improves workpiece stability during processing. Optional positioning gauges are also available to help ensure greater accuracy in workpiece placement.
SHODA is a specialized CNC router manufacturer striving to become a global leader in the industry. With dedicated departments for both product development and quality assurance, SHODA has built a robust system to support its advanced machining technologies.
Founded in 1926 as Shoda Ironworks, the company developed its first CNC router in 1968 under the leadership of its second-generation president, Isao Shoda. Today, SHODA supplies machines across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, with over 8,000 CNC routers delivered as of November 2023.
The NCN1220 is priced between ¥20,000,000 and ¥25,000,000 (tax not included).
Prices may vary depending on the specifications and optional features, so we recommend contacting SHODA directly for a detailed quotation.
SHODA also offers a “Fully Inclusive Lease” plan, allowing businesses to introduce the NCN1220 with a reduced initial investment.
The NCN1220 combines high precision, versatility, and operational stability in a single platform. It enables efficient production with minimal dimensional error in cutting operations.
This model is particularly well-suited for facilities that demand high-precision machining or are engaged in small-lot, multi-product manufacturing.

SHODA has been in business since 1926 and was the first company in Japan to develop an NC router. With a long history of precision machining, the company’s CNC routers are used to process a variety of materials—such as plastics, resins, and lightweight metals—with proven accuracy and reliability.
In 2014, SHODA developed a new type of NC router that doesn’t produce cutting dust. In many manufacturing environments, dust from machining can pose serious health risks if inhaled over long periods. SHODA’s solution to this issue has gained attention worldwide and is now used across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
