Developments across the entire product range

At the LIGNA 2019, HOMAG will present an expanded portfolio for spray coating. These include solutions for woodworking shops and furniture industry

Since the last LIGNA, HOMAG has also been offering planing machines. Above all, they convince by the simple machine operation with powerTouch.

For LIGNA 2019, HOMAG is optimizing the product range of the LAMTEQ laminating systems, thus responding to future market requirements.

The experts from research and developments at HOMAG have once again improved the graphical user interface with powerTouch sanding machines. The user interface can be tailored to the needs of the operator.

Technology developments for surface processing are continuing at HOMAG. This will be evident at LIGNA 2019, with surface solutions taking center stage on most of the stands at the trade fair in Hannover. Machines for surface and profile spray coating, sanding machines in different performance classes, solid wood profiling and the latest developments in the field of lamination will all be on display. HOMAG will also be represented at Makor's stand: Over the last two years, HOMAG has enjoyed a close creative partnership with the painting system specialist from Italy.

HOMAG will be presenting new technologies and features for all aspects of surface processing, offering users new methods for manufacturing high-quality furniture in an ergonomic, smart and efficient way.

SPRAY COATING: a broader product range for wet coating

Since LIGNA 2017, HOMAG has offered wet-coating technologies for the surface coating of furniture. This product range marked the beginning of HOMAG's close partnership with the world-famous painting system specialist, Makor.
HOMAG started with a series of spraying coating machines, whose innovative loading and unloading concept helped make them the ideal solution for small and medium-sized businesses to enter the world of automated spray coating.
This year, at LIGNA 2019, HOMAG will present a broader range, which will include spray coating solutions for a wide range of requirements — from trade to industrial applications.

NEW at LIGNA 2019:

• Solutions for spray coating flat workpieces, strips, and window and profile parts
• Machines with an oscillating spray arm for simple workpiece contours or spraying robots for complex 3D part geometries
• Compact machines for trade, as well as high-performance systems for medium-sized companies and industrial applications
• Individual machines or complete systems including all handling components and drying systems

PLANING & MOULDING: complete solutions with ergonomic operation

LIGNA 2017 also saw the launch of HOMAG's first range of planing machines. Since then, users of HOMAG products can choose from machines for the four-sided planing of window scantlings, the planing of floorboards or the profiling of non-standard furniture components, plus many others. With the MOULDTEQ M-300 planing machine, HOMAG offers a solution that combines the latest technology with solid machine construction. The planing machines in this series offer many specific advantages such as:

• Flexibility, thanks to the variable feed and adjustable spindle speed
• Ideal power transmission, as each spindle is driven by its own motor
• Intuitive machine operation with powerTouch
• High level of precision thanks to solid cast iron stand

The focal points at LIGNA 2019:

• Simple planing thanks to ergonomic touch operation with HOMAG powerTouch — the innovative user interface
• Integrated complete solutions for MOULDTEQ planing and profiling machines: HOMAG will present intelligent automation solutions that make it possible to combine planing machines with other production steps, further optimizing production processes

LAMINATING: Optimizations deliver an economic, ergonomic and modular laminating solution

The decorative finishing of wooden panels with laminate, foil or veneer is of great importance to wood processing businesses and, according to recent studies, it will continue to become more important in the future. With that in mind, HOMAG is seizing the opportunity and optimizing the LAMTEQ laminating system product range for LIGNA 2019.

NEW at LIGNA 2019:

• Laminating solutions with a special focus on efficiency and ergonomics, such as the handling concept of the LAMTEQ F-200, which was featured in the fall
• An optimized, modular LAMTEQ machine system, which will enable laminating systems to be configured in a simple and unique way to suit the most specific capacities and requirements

With these features, HOMAG is once again increasing its expertise in the area of laminating, with solutions for industrial laminating systems (HOMAG completeLine), highly flexible systems specifically developed for small and medium-sized companies and even solutions for profile casing.
