This system, capable of processing up to 1,200 furniture components per shift, integrates some of the most robust and reliable SCM machines with automatic storage systems, anthropomorphic robots, handling systems, software, and advanced digital services to ensure production continuity and high efficiency levels.
The system includes:
- “gabbiani a2” angular panel saw, fed by the “flexstore hp” automatic panel storage system and integrated with a robotic unloading system.
- Automatic labeling machine.
- “stefani cell E” flexible edgebanding cell, featuring the industrial “stefani s” edgebander and Pickback bridge system for automated panel return and unloading.
- New “morbidelli fx100” drilling machine, designed for batch-1 processing.
accord 500, developed to meet even the most complex requirements for doors, windows, staircases, and solid wood elements
The accord 500 will introduce several enhancements for the furniture industry. “Optizone” patented system connected to the Maestro lab software which requires just one click to establish the size of the two work areas as early as the programming stage based on the pieces to machine.
Also being highlighted is the new chain tool magazine, Quadro 35 which can always ensure a variety of tool stations are on hand in a limited space.
gabbiani pt95 is a high-efficiency solution suitable for batch-1 and mass production.
“gabbiani pt95” offers all the higher-end functions and options most valued by the market for the SCM panel sizing.
These include the Flexcut unit for side-by-side bars up to 600 mm, blade motors with power up to 18.5 kW, led indicators for both front and rear loading, led device for guided positioning of movable air floating tables and angular cutting device.
