The working area now accommodates four CNC machines, an edge banding machine, a cutting [...] Fehlmann particularly values. As managing director, he is grateful for his open-minded team, which is always open to innovation. Because it is only with efficient machine equipment and staff willing to learn [...] employs 50 people. The CNC machine taken over from those early days was replaced by a HOMAG CNC in 2000. From then on, HOMAG Switzerland also became the main contact for new machine solutions for the joinery

However, it was no longer possible to manage the quantity of parts that arose in random order behind the edge banding [...] receive any further edging strip into the selected components without stopping the edge banding machine. He places the other parts on a pallet truck for return transport to the machine infeed. The assembly [...] joiner stands behind the edge banding machine and directs the laser cross onto the QR code label of the workpiece that is coming toward him. Before the part reaches the machine outfeed, he activates a switch

The next step — but certainly not the last.
