Highlight 1: Cutting of free-form parts

At the booth D49 in hall 12, the IMA Schelling Group will show a fully automatic integrated line for single component manufacture in action. The highlight of the production line, which has been sold to Spain already, is a Performance.Cut machining centre that can also cut free-form parts such as nested desktops. Another specific feature of the line is the edge banding process on a Combima Systems running in a production environment that enables formation of pairs for efficient panel arrangement in the circular work cell. The whole cell is equipped with two 4-axis and one 6-axis robot.

Highlight 2: Lipping and veneer edge banding machine with multi-profile technology

The Novimat Contour L20 lipping and veneer edge banding machine with multi-profile technology is specifically designed for automatic processing of multiple profiles. It is equipped with the IPC.NET plant control system. Panels travel out of the Novimat edge bander on a Feedback 2.1 panel return conveyor which differs from its predecessor in that its design has been optimized.

Highlight 3: Gantry routing machine with 6-axis robot and diode laser

At the booth D50, the IMA Schelling Group will show an upgraded BIMA Px80 gantry routing machine for processing furniture elements. Highlights are a movable 6-axis robot, the load pick-up device of the robot with integrated part orientation recognition (“vision technology”) and an LDM diode laser with a power of 3 kW for producing a perfectly seamless joint.

Highlight 4: Panel cutting line with new circular workcell concept

IMA Schelling has revised the circular workcell concept of the ls 1 panel cutting line. The benefits of the new system are leaner processes and reduced floor space requirements.  Moreover an electrically actuated clamping bar reduces cycle times and allows for a constant takt time. At the booth D50, visitors can convince themselves of the advantages of the new ls 1 and at the same time get an impression of the vs 12 area storage system with an upgraded version of the Evolution Storage software which utilizes a new significantly improved search algorithm. Also the HPO cutting plan optimization software and the XBoB software for manual management of residual parts have been extended with new features. These include, amongst other things, multiple optimisation solutions and a layout selection for the printouts.

Highlight 5: Holistic IoT and service platform

The new IoT and service platform of the IMA Schelling Group will be a key focus of the Group’s trade show presence. It closes the data gap between the machine manufacturer and the customer, bringing essential insight and giving target-oriented recommendations to the machine user for efficient plant operation – a crucial assistance that can decide about success or failure in times of budget trimming and compressed schedules and, at the same time, increasing product diversification. The open flexible software offers maximum customer benefit and forms the basis for sustainable development of companies in a rapidly changing digital environment. In particular, the field of handling and analysing large quantities of data in close proximity to the machine as well as taking appropriate action resulting from the analysis are absolutely unique features in machine and plant manufacturing.   

New portfolio: IMA Schelling Group INDUSTRIAL CONSULTING

Modern furniture productions and their value-adding structures are going through fundamental changes due to increased digitalisation and automation – keywords are Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things. The available solution concepts and approaches are complex. It is not easy to find new answers in this situation. The new IMA Schelling Group INDUSTRIAL CONSULTING portfolio helps customers find what they need through its complete solution approach and process transparency. At the 2019 LIGNA, the new consulting division will present itself, for the first time, to a qualified audience.

Additional highlights

Other products shown at the LIGNA are the laser edge banding unit on a throughfeed machine and the IPC.NET plant control system. Robotics is also a topic at the info point of the IMA Schelling booth where visitors can watch films and presentations on this topic as well as on door production and the newly organised after-sales support of the IMA Schelling Group.

Please visit the IMA Schelling Group at the LIGNA from 27 to 31 May 2019. Our experts look forward to meeting you at booths D49, D50 and E50 in Hall 12.
