Woodworking Machines

Where our positioning systems are used: Format changeover in woodworking machines at Becherer Möbel-Innenausbau.

The fact that format changeover has become part of today's woodworking industry for a long time can be seen very clearly in the example of edge banding machines. Anyone who supplies individual furniture with high quality demands is significantly helped by the automation of the adjustment axes. halstrup-walcher positioning systems implement every format change to the next type of edge precisely and quickly, with absolute reliability.

Each chipboard element, whether it is destined to become part of a table, wardrobe, ceiling element or room divider, has cut edges which must be covered with the appropriate veneer or solid wood edge banding. This requires a remarkable degree of flexibility because, in many cases, only 3 or 5 pieces will receive the same type of edge banding before the machine has to be adjusted yet again. To reduce costs and the time needed for these adjustments, all HOMAG edge banding machines are fitted with positioning systems from halstrup-walcher.

"It is fascinating to see how such a large and powerful machine can operate with such extraordinary precision! For example, this HOMAG machine has been in operation here every day for over ten years without any unscheduled stoppages or significant problems. The PSE positioning systems from halstrup-walcher, in particular, are utterly reliable." — Magnus Becherer
