Updates from
the world of production.

SCM describes the use of the stefani cell H for batch-one production at furniture manufacturer Glicerio Chaves Hornero. The operator loads the parts, and the cell reads a barcode before automatically edgebanding all four sides of the panel. Work-order data covering panels, edges, adhesives and machining operations are transferred directly from the office to the machine.

INCOMAC has presented a kiln project nearing completion, equipped with the new mac EVO fully electric heat-pump drying system. The overhead door is designed to reduce the space needed for loading and unloading. According to the manufacturer, the kiln is designed for partial integration into the production facility to support process logistics.

SCM and Superfici presented a surface-finishing process for wood-based and mineral materials at Decortech. A laser engraves customised designs, textures and geometries, followed by a special coating and UV treatment that creates an ultra-matt appearance and a soft, silky touch. The process targets decorative wall coverings and furniture elements.
