Powerful gearboxes for automatic woodworking
Wood is one of the most important renewable raw materials and is extremely versatile - be it for building houses and furniture, as a basis for paper production or as a source of energy. In view of the increasing demands on productivity, product individuality, variant diversity, cost-effectiveness, digitalization and sustainability, the wood industry is increasingly relying on the use of robot technology and automation solutions. Precision, efficiency, resilience and reliability are of central importance here. With our gearboxes, you are a decisive step ahead. The cycloidal gearboxes and strain wave gears combine the expertise and experience of over 35 years with innovative, future-oriented approaches and ensure efficient and precise wood processing.
Precise and dynamic positioning
Our cycloidal gears and strain wave gears are the perfect basis for efficient robots, machines and production systems for woodworking. They ensure precise movements, realize high torques, are characterized by a high overload capacity, are exceptionally durable and cope excellently with changing production requirements. Users benefit from short throughput times, high productivity, optimum product quality, reduced error rates, reliable processes and lower processing costs.
The advantages at a glance:
- Extreme precision (strain wave gears: absolute zero backlash, cycloidal gearbox: hysteresis loss < 0.5 arcmin)
- High repeatability and path accuracy
- High torque capacity
- High torsional rigidity
- Very dynamic: Fast acceleration and deceleration
- High shock load capacity (500 % of the rated torque)
- High reduction ratios with compact design
- Low mass inertia
- Absolute reliability with a long service life
- High process reliability
- Modular design and easy handling
Automation makes the timber industry fit for the future
Wood is in vogue and is becoming increasingly popular, with the furniture industry in particular currently experiencing an enormous boom.
