More profit with batch size 1

Series production of batch size 1 - HOMAG makes it happen

The trend towards the manufacture of individually conﬁgured products continues to gather pace in the furniture industry. The markets are calling for customized furniture design at knock-down prices. Anyone capable of producing this type of one-off furniture economically has every chance of staying competitive in the long run. We have come up with a range of solutions which will help you manufacture batch size 1 products as economically as conventional mass-produced furniture.

The 4 performance stages
Performance stage 1: Manual – ideal for woodworking shops and industry Optimum for joineries and interior fitters as well as industrial furniture production Output levels of around 400 - 550 workpieces per shift (corresponding to around 50 items of furniture) Feeding system, edge banding machine, angular transfer with rotating cone and return feed are included Performance stage 2: Semi-automatic – perfect for large order volumes Semi-automatic solution with manual multiple passes Output of up to 1,050 parts, i.e. around 100 items of furniture per shift Ideal for production of small series Performance stage 3: Fully automatic – greater efficiency for complex jobs With an output of up to 1,050 parts per shift, this plant offers the same performance data as the semi-automatic version The multiple passes are fully automated. This saves labour costs and reduces the risk of part assignment and orientation errors to a minimum. This benefits pay dividends wherever a widely varied and complex part spectrum is involved Performance stage 4: Fully automatic – unrivalled performance, maximum flexibility Increased feed rate and almost doubled cyclical output, it takes between 1,800 and 2,200 parts per shift Optimized handling and ultra-precise workpiece guidance guarantee dimensional and angular accuracy when processing extremely long and narrow parts
