A key Bargstedt technology in the new set up is its TLF210 range of automated board vertical buffer stores which operate on the IntelliStore software system to manage and optimise stock levels.
Ligmatech’s offer includes such equipment as its Boomerang concept automatic panel return systems which can link a wide range of throughfeed machinery, from edgebanders, wide-belt sanders and finishing lines to double ended tenoners and profile wrapping machines. Some models in the ZHR range of panel return technology can also combine with robot handling.
“Within Homag Automation we have a range of specialists who can advise on maximising facility productivity,” said Homag UK sales and marketing director Simon Brooks. “Each week we have more and more enquiries about automation. It can have a significant impact on production efficiency and recent years have seen prices of solutions fall, so the advantages are now within reach of even small manufacturers. And having this new specialist business gives us a strong competitive edge in this growing market.”
