HOMAG Treff 2024

Where sawdust flies and inspiration lands…

Experience the latest HOMAG solutions in action – up close and personal. 

This year, the legendary HOMAG Treff event will once again take place simultaneously at two HOMAG locations in southern Germany: in Schopfloch and in Holzbronn. From September 24 to 27, 2024, visitors can get hands-on with HOMAG machinery and software, discuss current industry trends and technical topics with other professionals, and gain important insights for their business. 

The unique thing about HOMAG Treff is its "test drive" character, as visitors can experience the latest developments live and in action. True to our motto, “Where sawdust flies and inspiration lands,” individual machines and complete production lines will be in operation and will be complemented by exciting technical presentations and discussions – on topics from panel dividing, CNC processing and edgebanding to software, automation, and digitalization.

How intuitive is the user interface of HOMAG optimization software? Can a cutting cell with a robot be the solution to the shortage of skilled labor? What are the advantages of innovative edgebanding technology in day-to-day production? Answers to these questions and more will be found at HOMAG Treff 2024!

Automation and digitalization will once again be the focus. At the Schopfloch site, visitors can even expect an entire exhibition area just for HOMAG software, apps and digital assistants. The experts from SCHULER Consulting will be available to discuss specific automation potential for production in the furniture and timber construction segment with interested parties. The focus will be on measures for optimizing the production process, cost optimization and targeted digitalization.

The HOMAG software and service teams, as well as numerous additional exhibitors and partner companies, including BENZ Tooling, DÜRR, tapio and others, will also be present. In short, the HOMAG Treff promises first-hand information and plenty of innovations! 

Experience technology highlights and innovations live

Which technology highlights and innovations can visitors to HOMAG Treff look forward to? The following selection provides an overview. 

Robot efficiency at an entry-level price: The new SAWTEQ S-300/S-400 flexTec 

With the SAWTEQ S-300/S-400 flexTec robotic panel dividing saws, HOMAG has a proven solution for fully automatic cutting in batch size 1. Up to now, it has mainly been larger companies that have benefited from their efficiency and the advantages of unmanned production. However, the shortage of skilled labor is a major challenge, especially in the skilled trades. This is why HOMAG is presenting a new standard model of the SAWTEQ S-300/S-400 flexTec at the in-house exhibition. This further development offers robot efficiency at an entry-level price and can be expanded flexibly if required - ideal for growing businesses. 

More convenience, less storage activity: with quickTip and intelliStore AI - Offcuts 

One software, unlimited possibilities - that is the promise of the HOMAG woodStore 8 storage software. The latest enhancements set new standards in terms of ease of use and resource efficiency. It all starts with quickTip, the integrated assistant that proactively supports users by providing setting recommendations and helps the machine operator to systematically utilize the storage potential. This saves valuable space and reduces energy consumption. intelliStore AI - Offcuts also proves that intelligent software solutions increase efficiency. It can reduce stock movements for automatic offcut management by up to 40%. The new development enables the automatic storage of remnants on defined, freely distributed panel stacks in the storage system - if required, also in combination with classic offcut storage locations. 

Reproduce components and create batches - now in HOMAG productionManager! 

Not everything in the production process always works right away. But that doesn't matter if you can react easily and flexibly and quickly rework individual parts. This is why the productionManager app now includes the "Rework" function. A practical feature: components can be digitally recorded by the machine operator directly on site and ordered for reworking - complete with part-specific information for work preparation. Speaking of work preparation: With the new "batch generation" function, orders are intelligently summarized into production batches. This allows orders to be bundled into batches precisely in terms of time and material and transferred directly to cutting optimization or simply exported as a cutting list - depending on requirements. This not only saves money, it also reduces material consumption.

intelliDivide Cutting: three innovations for HOMAG cutting optimization 

True to the motto "Always one cut ahead", HOMAG will be presenting several innovations for the intelliDivide Cutting optimization software at the in-house exhibition.

• Optimize more intelligently with templates: If you want to produce certain components more frequently in a predefined arrangement or deliberately keep components together, you can now create templates and store them as templates in the intelliDivide Cutting library.

• Hand-in-hand with the woodStore storage software: All material data, stocks and panel remnants stored in woodStore are now automatically available in intelliDivide Cutting. Offcuts are transferred to woodStore after cutting and offered for reuse during the next optimization. 

• AI-supported production time predictions: Until now, intelliDivide Cutting has calculated the estimated production times based on fixed assumptions. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), the predictions are now much more accurate. This improves planning and allows for more precise calculations.

The CNC accelerator for nesting - HOMAG STORETEQ F-100 single-axis feeder 

The STORETEQ F-100 single-axis feeder ensures even greater efficiency and flexibility in nesting - gentle on the material, automatic and fast. It is a winner all along the line - with minimal space requirements. It is controlled via woodStore directly on the CENTATEQ N-210 or N-510 CNC processing centers, creating a complete cell - including manual offcut management. The portal picks up the next panel just-in-time from the stacking area next to or behind the CNC processing center using vacuum suction, rotates the material by up to 90° if required, and places it on the roller conveyor. Everything is fully automatic.

The edge for the trade: LOOPTEQ O-400 and EDGETEQ S-200 

Modern industrial technology at trade conditions: This is what HOMAG offers with the new LOOPTEQ O-400 portal return as well as with the EDGETEQ S-200 - two solutions that represent a quantum leap in edge processing. The newly developed LOOPTEQ O-400 impresses with its high performance and extremely compact design. Thanks to its high degree of automation and the combination of stacking system and workpiece return, it sustainably increases productivity in production - with ergonomic and economical operation by just one person.

The EDGETEQ S-200 also impresses with the latest technology from the industrial segment. The smallest HOMAG edge banding machine already has highlights such as servo edge feeding, flexible magazine height adjustment and vacuum suction-based strip separation. In addition, there is a new application unit that enables adhesive to be changed in under three minutes. This simplifies and speeds up production considerably.

Even better drilling and doweling: DRILLTEQ D-110

With the all-new DRILLTEQ D-110, HOMAG presents an entry-level CNC that has exactly two tasks: horizontal drilling and dowelling. And it does its job remarkably effectively, with three individually retrievable drilling spindles and space for up to four workpieces. Additionally, the CNC programming software woodWOP 8.1 can be used to preset the height and depth of the drilling and dowelling operations. These are then called up automatically during the machining process. The dowelling technology on the DRILLTEQ D-110 has already proven itself many times in higher-level HOMAG machines.

The countdown is on – register now for HOMAG Treff 2024

From September 24, 2024, the HOMAG locations in Schopfloch and Holzbronn will open their doors for you for four days in a row. It's worth being there - the many technology highlights and software innovations alone will make sure of that. In addition, there will be presentations with specialist knowledge and first-hand information as well as dialogue and exchange in the expert group.
