For many years now, the company has placed its trust in HOLZMA cut-to size technology — and always in combination with tailored HOMAG solutions. At the centre of the company's production facilities is a new HPL 380 profiLine with lift table feeding. The saw features the high-performance Power Concept, multiple destacking carriages and the new Soft Touch package. This allows Wilhelm Hoetzel to adjust the pressure of the clamps and pressure beam to the exact requirements of the individual panel materials. Furthermore, the CADmatic control software now features manual "just-in-time optimisation", which allows offcuts to be quickly fed back into the production process by hand.
A range of new HOLZMA developments will soon be raising efficiency to even higher levels and ensuring that processes are smoother than ever before. The specialists at the Hoetzel joinery are currently testing selected components of the new HOLZMA Domino System, such as the control option "integrated destacking display", which allows the operator to manage up to six destacking carriages. As a result, the company is very well equipped to tackle future challenges.
