25 Years of HOMAG Window Production Solutions - Concepts for automated production since 1999

step by step The first HOMAG machine for the production of individual window parts, in this case in particular for wood-aluminum windows, was a profiLine BOF 311/40/PM. A machine length of 4.80 m provided [...] such as profile machining, drilling for handle slide holes, corner and shear bearing drilling, dowel hole drilling or milling for strike plates and shears. This generated high machine efficiency thanks [...] thanks to automated complete machining. Non-productive time for this machining could be used by the operator for other value-adding activities. The profiLine BOF 311/40/PM in 1999 was therefore the first complete

"For example, the V-500 and H-600 drilling programs also run directly on the machines with no problems [...] play The same applies to the Danube group, which includes four edge machines, two of which were supplied by HOMAG. While the older machine processes only thin edges, the other edges are processed using laser [...] trimming at right angles. "We searched for years until we found the machine that optimally fits our needs. The EDGETEQ S-500 is just that machine." Always onward, always forward After the edge, selected parts

Consistent investment in the future: Batch size 1 production in I

Because the market no longer wanted wood and veneer, [...] company had to buy machines designed for processing coated panel materials. Therefore, at that point in time, the first investments were a horizontal panel dividing saw, an edge banding machine, and a drilling [...] find out, my brother Giulio and I visited the machine manufacturers who in turn allowed us to visit reference customers to get an impression of how these machines performed in practice," explains the head

According to Jürgen Gottschall, "Each year the number of people employed in wood work decreases, while the demand for wood work increases rapidly. For me, prefabrication was the obvious solution, so I [...] was produced in Strasbourg. According to Gottschall, the wood work market will continue to grow in the coming years: "I am convinced that wood work still has a great growth potential and will become i [...] CLTECH, as well as improved quality and customized production.

Or the program does not exist at all so you have to spend a lot of time and effort programming the machine before you [...] office, the capacity of the machine is increased. This step also ensures that the data is validated in the office, and only properly formatted data is passed on to the machine. Workpieces are clearly assigned [...] entries, which, in the worst-case scenario, would otherwise result in a crash and cause machine downtime. If all machines are "networked", the effort needed for data management is minimized and redundancies

Another key success factor is the creation of the [...] shown that the profiles can be reduced by a further 10% to obtain an even larger glass area. With wood/aluminum windows, the sash has become so narrow that it disappears behind the aluminum cover. The [...] system. However, producing narrow profiles to allow more daylight in also presents challenges to machine manufacturers and suppliers: How can the narrow profiles be clamped? How can high processing quality
