The Homag S-380 reducing lead times at Resero

07 June 2023

"We run the glue-pot at half full and have pre-melter topping up so we’re always processing with freshly melted glue” says Chris. “After breaks, the glue is still in good condition with no lumps and it hasn’t burnt – as was the case with our previous edgebander. The glue line is nice and thin, and with the spray units on the Homag we don’t have any manual cleaning to do when the parts come off  the edgebander.  Previously we’d have to run blades over edges and clean excess glue away with solvents”, adds Josh.

Homag 1130AT at bmc limited

23 November 2022

Bjoern was swayed towards the Homag1130AT because of the economical price, small footprint and airTec system. He’d worked on edgebanders from other manufacturers in the past which helped give him clarity when deciding on the Homag. Local support was also high on the priority list. How Jacks handled an issue with his spindle moulder gave him confidence he’d be properly looked after with his new edgebander.  Read more...

Edgetec S-200 series at Black Label

10 July 2022

Karl’s decision to focus on contract manufacturing for others mean he needed the capacity to provide a complete solution for the commercial contracts he has.  A key component was the need to work with high-gloss panels, as well as large portfolio of cabinets in an even wider range of colours and finishes. “With our old edgebander it took longer to clean up the edges after processing than it did to do the processing in the first place” says Karl. “We  needed something to provide a consistent finish for a wide variety of materials, as well as delivering a top-quality finish on high-end product.” Read more...

Start up success for SLEEK Kitchens NZ

09 October 2021

While waiting for the CNC to be installed, the first few kitchens were cut on a panel saw. Hardeep says the panel saw is hardly used at all now with their cutting and drilling being processed on the Format-4 CNC. They construct their cabinets with a mortice and tenon join which speeds up assembly and results in a strong cabinet. Together with the quality of edgebanding coming off the Homag 1440, these advantages have quickly become selling points to their customers. “The Homag has definitely met our expectations” says Hardeep. “Our staff are big fans. Parts come off the edgebander finished and ready for assembly. We do next to no manual cleaning of the parts after the edgebander.”As well as the laser capability the Homag 1440, it’s fast and easy to set-up with all processing units adjustable from the control panel. The multi-profile tooling enables a very high quality finish across a wide range of materials. Read more...
