This not only saves money, it also reduces [...] fast way. It is an asset all along the line – and with minimal space requirements. The control is carried out via woodStore directly on the CENTATEQ N-210 or N-510 CNC machining center. This interaction [...] function in the productionManager app. It’s practical and easy: Components can be digitally recorded directly by the machine operator at the point of action and ordered for reproduction, with part-specific

Go for digitalization with HOMAG: TF Bern shows how it's done!

trainees are taught in classes, allowing teachers to respond specifically to the needs and individual requirements of students. The capabilities of each individual can be optimally supported and the training can [...] functions, such as recording post-production tasks in productionManager, are implemented and applied directly with a sense of urgency!" Thinking of tomorrow, today with digitalization and networking "Digitalization [...] process: "In addition to learning their trade, trainees are able to identify processes that still require optimization and the steps needed to achieve this." Dürner's overall aim is to ensure that these

Two saws on the same batch

Once the relevant cutting patterns have been processed, the parts that do not have to be edged go directly to destacking. Components that are to receive an edge are buffered in a "Sorteq H-600" layer storage [...] a decoupling buffer, and are fed to the single-sided "Edgeteq S-800" edge processing machine as required via intermediate transport. This means that parts of different sizes can be run one after the other [...] fully edged in up to three throughfeeds. The components then go into a "TLB 210" 4-bin sorter or directly for destacking. The stack station with robotic stacking ensures that the components of a sorting

The Swift Group partners with HOMAG

CNCs would be fed with large panels direct from storage via a clever trolley system running on rails in the floor and moved by the operator to each machine as required. Additionally, orders were placed for [...] business. “In assessing the situation internally, we developed a vision for the Swift Group that would require a complete redesign of our existing machining facility and the work flow through it. The vision was [...] was driven by five key factors: the need for growth, improved efficiency, a single directional work flow through the facility, simplified processes and the replacement of the current machinery.” Team work

ewe Küchen: Secure packaging of unique products

This creates [...] further, because it would simplify the picking process and reduce the amount of logic and expertise required." Ultimately, the individualization of the parts is implemented in a highly automated throughfeed [...] ed—for example, corner cabinets—are also processed and assembled here, as well as cabinets that require a high level of effort to assemble that cannot be realized in clocked production. In order to achieve

Investment in the future

For Frank Gätke [...] WALLTEQ M-120 multifunction bridge with two BUILDTEQ A-300 self-assembly tables. The investment required was proportionally low, meaning this solution enables even businesses with smaller production volumes [...] they are standard and gable wall, or roof and ceiling elements. Due to the capacity and flexibility required for this, Gätke decided to combine the WALLTEQ M-120 with two self-assembly tables so that wall

Radical change, one step at a time

from traditional stick framing in favor of a higher degree of prefabrication. A first step in this direction is stick framing under roof, in which single-sided sheathed elements, called components in the USA [...] Approaches to automation With stick framing under roof, a lot of the production is manual and therefore requires high numbers of personnel. The US market is currently characterized by a steady increase in interest [...] skilled workers are becoming increasingly difficult to find and more expensive. Another pull in the direction of automation comes from the fact that North American WEINMANN customers have been highly successful
