In 2017, Hannah Brust joins the company alongside a BHX (today: DRILLTEQ V-200 [...] rarely boring in Ettlingen. Finally enough room for growth at all levels. When a wide-belt sanding machine from former HOMAG subsidiary Bütfering was installed in the hall in 2019, space slowly ran out. [...] courageous and flexible as efbe möbelart. What is important to Fabian Brust when it comes to possible machines, digital solutions and all the experiments - in Ettlingen they weld themselves in a specially equipped

"We have taken great care to ensure that in an emergency, we can bypass certain machine areas and [...] with the HOMAG Group. "Goldbach Kirchner has been working with HOMAG since the 1980s. The first machine was a HOLZMA saw. For the plant in Dessau, of course we looked at other manufacturers. But once again [...] performance of HOMAG, with a really innovative system concept that met all of our requirements for machines and software, that convinced us," says Schmidt, summing up the decision.

Pioneers in their own countries - Timber construction in Estonia + USA

Estonia, and attempts to find carpenters with machine training are usually in vain. That is why 2 of the 15 plant employees are metal workers with knowledge of CNC processes. "They come from a different industry [...] production lines. "On the one hand, this machine manufacturer from Lonsingen, Germany can completely cover our needs thanks to its broad spectrum of processing machines," says Sascha Bopp. "The fact that the [...] components to Scandinavia for decades. The aim of such cooperation would be to supply high-quality machined elements to the companies in the future. To provide another foothold for Welement AS, Lauri Tuulberg

Shaping the prospects of timber construction together.

Mr. Bockel, what role do you think automation plays in serial renovation? SB: The relevance of CNC machining in the serial renovation sector should not be overlooked, as it encourages effective prefabrication [...] prevent the effective use of these technologies. As soon as the elements have been drawn up and the machine data has been generated, it is fundamentally irrelevant whether the elements are used for a normal

How to be flexible – and remain so

Qualitative production data is the basis for automating further processes. The [...] know-how can be expanded and adapted at any time. For example, if there are new processes, tools, machining aggregates or changed procedures in the value creation. It also makes sense to configure data for [...] considerable additional work. In the worst case, this can have serious consequences, even leading to a machine crash. Flexibility here means that production data is generated automatically as far as possible
