Competition is tough and a great deal is expected of future-oriented woodworking machinery. It is extremely important that solutions meet the following requirements:

• Optimum configuration of the machines to the individual specifications of the customer
• Integration of the customer's own technical expertise
• Maximizing the economic efficiency by minimizing the use of resources
• Faster time to market.

The attainment of these goals calls for solutions that are flexible, expandable and complete.

Totally Integrated Automation

Complete automation solutions require a carefully coordinated selection of system components to cover the whole function range. Only in this way is it possible to obtain system solutions that extend from the management, control and drive levels to the actuator and sensor levels with consistent system responsibility.

Modular engineering permits flexible adaptability to the size of the task in hand. And, with the growing trend towards distributed solutions, bus capability of the individual components is growing in importance. A prominent role is played here by the drivers that supply the mechanical power, the operator controls that provide the human-machine interfaces and, last but not least, the integrated bus systems.
