New features in the HOMAG CNC software (Basis: NCCenter 1.22)

collisions between tools and clamping equipment in advance. The simulation is based on a virtual machine with a real CNC core, which is controlled with the data of the respective customer machine. In addition [...] many waiting times on the machine – for example, those caused by programming errors – can be detected in advance and avoided. NCCenter 1.22.0.0 – The main operation for CNC machines In the new NCCenter version [...] with the CNC-TestSuite. Another new feature is the optimized display of missing tools. This provides direct access to tool management or the corresponding macro in the processing program. ClampManager –

HOMAG Vantage 100 CNC - Swift Group

impressive. The machine uses the powerTouch operating system which is very intuitive and easy to use. Seeing the machine in action sealed the deal. It was clear that this was the machine that would give [...] old CNC machines we used had no drill blocks which led to a lot of time consuming tool changes. The configuration of the Vantage 100 includes a drill block with 12 positions, so the need for tool changes [...] of the machine is very important to us. We also like its self-cleaning aspect. Previously, the old machines needed frequent cleaning; we had to clear away the dust and then vacuum the machines down. The

woodWOP 8.1: Used every day. Inspired every day.

5-axis spindle. According to owner Raimund Fuchs, the machines complement each other perfectly. Initially, all workpieces were programmed on the machine, but since 2017 a CAD system has been used that au [...] woodWOP 8.1 that make work easier Opening tool selection lists directly from the variable table or the component variables makes it much easier to change machining operations. The Austrians were also impressed [...] and individual furnishings for private customers and are also active in the contract sector. CNC machines have also been used for this since 1996, today primarily the DRILLTEQ V-500 with split head and

The key to success lies in intralogistics

queries or feedback from machines. In our case, for example, this is movement data and data on dwell times in buffers. In other words, dwell times before the machine, after the machine, transport times and [...] the next optimisations. That is why we have been looking for a tool that makes value stream mapping easier for many years. With the tool from Schuler Consulting - a toolbox for the collection of information [...] localisation of part stacks as well as the recording of machine states. The technical set-up can be used flexibly in any production area and on machines of any age and manufacturer type. At Burger Küchen,

woodWOP: New options with the CAM plugin

Do you have a CNC machine but still have to turn down projects because it isn't a 5-axis machine? It doesn't need to be like this: There's more to your 3-axis or 4-axis than many people think. With CAM [...] provides you with additional processing macros that enable 3-axis processing of 3D surfaces in woodWOP. Tools such as roughing cutters, finishing cutters and ball cutters are very helpful here. Several practical [...] practical examples will quickly show you how CAM Plugin Basic can realize the full potential of your CNC machine. And how you can expand your product portfolio without high investment costs and a lot of effort

Grathwol Fensterbau: window production at the next level

which significantly increases productivity. The machine is currently equipped with 60 tools, with a total of 72 tool slots available. "We work with tools from Zuani and use the Klaes software, which is [...] and later machine operators. The investment costs for the new machine were approximately EUR 500,000. The largest investment in the history of the family company, which included the machine, software, [...] function and system diversity. With the new machine, which combines several functions, we can also process round arches and front doors efficiently." The new machine is the first that the company has purchased

John Worth Shopfitters invests in HOMAG CENTATEQ N-500 CNC

N-500 compact nesting machine is specifically designed for the creation of carcass furniture, dividing and refining of furniture fronts and construction of frame furniture. The machine’s gantry style delivers [...] and from a 7 to 14 tool changing system dependent on the working field size. Controlled with the new powerTouch2 user interface which achieves time savings of up to 30%, the machine has an impressive array [...] the senior management recognised the need to add a new CNC processing centre to work alongside the machine that had served them well for the last ten years. “To be competitive,” explains John Worth’s workshop

Starbank Panel Products invests in HOMAG

BAZ 723 CNC’s, a machine that believe it or not we bought way back in 2004. This machine had put in a lot of production hours for us on often on two shifts per day. These gantry machining centres with their [...] can easily switch between machines without having to learn new programming or machine skills. “Our people really like the latest powerTouch and woodWOP 7.2 software. The tool databases are a lot more efficient [...] and technically advanced machining centre. You only get this performance with the big gantry CNCs and the T-700 is perfect for us. We specified a 4-axis model with extra tooling carousels for bespoke a

speed up production and increase accuracy – a vitally important factor for us. The BMG’s tool changer has 27 tool places with a 13 position drill block for both vertical and horizontal drilling. This means [...] the software is able to simulate the program before machining to check for accuracy, as well as provide collision control. This protects the machine from any crashes during production. Additionally, it [...] only took a few days for the machine to be installed and we completed our training at HOMAG UK. Naturally, there were some teething issues getting to grips with the machine and starting to produce windows

high levels of precision. “In terms of tools, we started with a basic set, the idea being to add more tools as we progressed. We initially invested in cutting tools and an aggregate head; this gave us the [...] working environment. In addition, we received a full CNC machine demonstration at HOMAG UK’s Castle Donington showroom. “The concept of having a CNC machine was new to us, so it was essential that we picked the [...] don’t need to worry about where you place the machine, as it’s accessible from every side. This is great for a smaller factory, especially as the machine itself already has a 15% reduction in footprint
