The SAWTEQ S-320 flexTec is a revolutionary cutting cell to custom cut single panels. With the SAWTEQ S-320 flexTec, HOMAG revolutionizes cutting in batch size 1 production and allows highly flexible order-based or customer-specific production. The innovative cutting cell is designed specifically for processing single panels and completely redefines the flow of parts — whether as a standalone solution or interlinked. The machine concept allows fully automated processes and unlimited recuts and can operate completely autonomously over long periods, depending on the part removal version. This new flexibility and freedom gives your staff time and space to perform other value-adding tasks.

Whether you want to focus on maximum performance or minimal waste — the SAWTEQ S-320 flexTec allows you to optimize your production to meet your needs. The new performance of up to 3000 parts per shift is particularly useful for meeting the requirements of kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and office furniture manufacturers. At the same time, the S-320 flexTec provides almost 100% technical availability, gentle material handling and exceptional cleanliness.

Features

• The automatic ejecting device transports all the parts away from the cutting line and back into the work area of the robot
• An automatic labeling system labels all the finished parts
• The industrial robot undertakes all the panel handling and parts leave the saw in the correct orientation
• Software-controlled waste flap – opens and closes in sync with the machine

The safe robot handling works with a very high repeatability on continuous speed – and that space saving. Where elsewhere employees lay workpieces into passing cardboards at a transport distance in monotonous movements, here, the insert station PAQBOT I-300 plays its full strength. The perfect solution for anyone who packs furniture parts. 

Benefits

• Fast, dynamic, and easy to integrate into the running operation
• Perfectly between cardboard folding machine and carton closure machine
• Can be integrated into almost every packaging concept

• Automatic production changeover from one central computer.

Door Manufacturing

Building Component Manufacturing

This Opti-Solution is a material handling system that consists of four feeding systems, model Opti-Feed 6000, feeding four different qualities to two high frequency laminating presses.

After laminating, the beams are separated in a buffer system and automatically transported to two grading and repair stations. If needed, the beams are repaired manually by two operators. After the grading and repair stations the beams are transported through a multi head cross-cut saw, model MK2 where the ends are trimmed before moulding.

After the moulder the beams are once again quality checked and repaired if needed, then labelled and transported to the automated stacking machine, model Opti-Stack 6000.

Flooring Manufacturing

This Opti-Solution is an optimizing cross-cut line consisting of an Opti-Feed 6000 feeding system, that feeds batches of workpieces to a planer. After the planer, the workpieces are automatically transported to a Microtec 502 scanner including x-ray, for detection of defects and quality.

Through a queue control system, the workpieces are then transported to three optimizing cross-cut saws model Opti-Kap 5003, that cuts the workpieces into flooring components. The cross-cut components are then sorted according to the correct lengths, qualities and widths.

Moulding & Millwork Manufacturing

This Opti-Solution is a material handling system consisting of an automatic infeed system model Opti-Feed 6000, that automatically feeds the workpieces to a bandsaw. The bandsaw splits the workpieces into two or three pieces, and the workpieces are subsequently singulated and orientated in the correct order before entering a moulder.

After the moulding process, the workpieces are transported to a double-end tenoner for end profiling, and afterwards automatically bundled in a bundling station. The bundled workpieces are immediately strapped or folioed, and then stacked into big packs by an automatic stacking machine model Opti-Stack 6000. After stacking the full pack is then folioed and strapped

Pallet Manuacturing

This Opti-Solution is a multi head cross-cut line consisting of an automatic infeed system model Opti-Feed 6000, that automatically feeds the workpieces to a feeding chain conveyor.

The feeding chain conveyor creates layers of the workpieces and feed the layers into a multi head cross-cut saw model MK5, for multiple cross-cutting. The cross-cut workpieces are then transported to a continuous stacking machine model Opti-Stack 6000, also capable of placing stabilizing sticks in the packs if needed. After stacking, the packs are automatically separated and transported to a strapping area.

Furniture Manufacturing

This Opti-Solution is an optimizing cross-cut line consisting of an automatic infeed system model Opti-Feed 6000. The infeed system feeds the raw material to a moulding machine, that splits the workpieces into lamellas. After the moulder, the lamellas are automatically singulated and transported to a Microtec Goldeneye 501 scanner, for detection of defects and quality.

Through a queue control system, the workpieces are then transported to two optimizing cross-cut saws model Opti-Kap 5003, that cuts the workpieces into furniture components.

After cross-cutting, the components are sorted for either finger joint components or fixed lengths, stacked manually or automatically by four stacking machines model Opti-Stack 3000.

The Opti-Feed 1000 Vack consists of a vacuum head suitable for feeding short workpieces of 380 – 1,600 mm (15’’-63’’). It has a feeding capacity of up to 5 layers per minute of both random or uniform lengths and widths.  The vacuum head features check valve technology, which automatically identifies and closes check valves in areas without workpieces. This ensures secure handling and lifting of layers, random lengths and widths without having to adjust vacuum heads.

Due to its modular design, the Opti-Feed 1000 Vack de-stacking unit is suspended from a portal, enabling the de-stacking of layers from packs positioned on the floor or on a conveyor.

Benefits

• De-stacking from multiple locations
• De-stacking to multiple destinations
• Liberates operators from hard and repetitive work
• Better utilization of main machine capacity
• Gentle handling without damaging workpieces or layers
• Minimum space requirement
• Feeding of random lengths and widths

Modeled after the larger HOMAG STORETEQ P-300, the F-100 has many of the same automated panel storage and retrieval capabilities and is simplified with single-axis movement. The gantry uses vacuum suction to fetch the needed board just in time from the stacking area, rotating the material as needed, and placing it on the proper machine. As a result, the continuous process flow increases the productivity of your equipment.

The STORETEQ F-100 is scalable and completely customizable with your business’s growth, allowing for up to eight total positions in its automated system, including up to four storage locations and up to three processing machines.

Like the larger P-300 panel storage system, the STORETEQ F-100 is also powered by the woodStore 8 software from HOMAG. When paired with HOMAG’S Cut Rite optimizer, the software efficiently manages all aspects of storage, from linking the purchasing system to order processing, to managing offcuts and optimizing material movements. Harnessing the power of woodStore 8’s off-cut management module, the F-100 provides complete cataloging and managing of useable off-cut panels.
