Custom Automation Solutions for the Wood Processing Industry

Processing wood and wood-based materials requires high precision—while also meeting fast cycle times, handling delicate surfaces, and accounting for often unpredictable material characteristics. With our custom-designed machines and systems, we offer the wood processing industry reliable technology for the automated handling of wood panels, profiles, veneers, and components of all kinds.

All of our systems can be easily integrated into existing production structures and precisely adapted to your operational workflows.

Our systems handle tasks such as:

Automated feeding and separation of panels and profiles
Machining steps such as milling, drilling, sawing, and sanding within coordinated production cells
Formatting and positioning of large workpieces using robot-assisted handling
Assembly and joining of components and subassemblies
Conveying, sorting, and stacking using material-friendly technologies
Integrated quality control via industrial image processing

Robotic Solutions for Flexible and Efficient Furniture Production

The increasing variety of products in furniture manufacturing requires automation solutions that are not only fast but also smart. With our experience in integrating robotics and industrial vision technology, we implement highly flexible production systems that automatically adapt to different components and product formats.

Our solutions in the furniture industry include, among others, pick-and-place robots for precise placement of parts, handles, fittings, or connectors; robot-assisted assembly cells for cabinet and drawer box assembly; glue application and screw fastening; and vision systems for surface inspection, edge detection, or part identification. We also offer various solutions for the automated palletizing and order picking of furniture components after production.

Make your production workflows precisely reproducible and quickly adjustable when needed—regardless of whether you’re producing small batches or large volumes.
