VISION-U / -L

Those looking for exclusive furniture with aesthetic design, but above all for sophisticated living space concepts, will find what they are looking for at Schreinerei Johann Raßhofer. Each piece of furniture is unique and impresses by its 100-percent precision. Since 2013, everything made from wood has passed through the 5-axis CNC machining centre VISION-II-T.

Style is not all the same – that is the maxim Göbes and schutz in form at Hardheim in Baden apply when manufacturing special doors that meet the highest requirements not only with respect to appearance and quality, but also to fire and smoke protection, as well as noise and burglary protection. In order to achieve this economically, the company relies on modern CNC-technology.

Wood processing has a long tradition in the densely wooded Erzgebirge and the people there have perfected their workmanship for generations. Dietel Treppenbau feel a strong commitment to this tradition, too. Many years ago, the company adopted our CNC-processing technology, thus updating production for the future.

Ammann staircase manufactory had bought one of our CNC-machining centres; but its route into the production facilities was barred by a storage building. How to resolve this situation? Seven hours later – a truck-mounted crane of 150 metric tons with 50 metric tons of ballast to provide a counterbalance, and the unit’s being lifted through the air for 22 metres – the machine had arrived in its future position.

The Derix group of companies has specialised in glued laminated timber for construction purposes. Their priority is on hall structures, which includes also highly complex shapes. They are working with three identical lines of type VISION-III-TT 5-axes, each of which is equipped with a beam table 16,500 x 3,600 mm that consists of 23 steel traverses with wooden beam tops, as well as with a conveyor.

A long-standing machine supplier of Hoba had thoroughly dealt with the requirements of the intended unit. It took two years until this supplier finally rejected the project, but made a recommendation in our favour. We took up the challenge – basically speaking, this machine should be capable of performing tasks that would otherwise have required three machines.

In an era dominated by jet planes, propeller aircraft seem somewhat nostalgic. Aerobatics, such as Martin Albrecht, member of the national aerobatics team, however, give impressive proof with their flights that there is certainly nothing nostalgic to their activities. The blades are milled from wooden blocks on our high-quality CNC-machines according to CAD/CAM specifications.

The major clients of Stengele Holz- und Kunststofftechnik GmbH, such as Hymer, Carthago, Dethleffs, Fendt and others, install its components in all vehicles. Their production sector uses most advanced technologies, such as the 5-axes CNC-machining centres from Reichenbacher, to ensure continuous top machining quality.

At first, “a deliberate investment in future capacities” sounds daring, above all when it refers to a big CNC-milling unit including robot systems. For MN Coil, an important supplier of the automotive and aircraft industry, however, it constitutes a well-considered step to reach a position where they can react to changes in the market at any given time and ensure economic stability.

„The craftsmanship of a manufactory combined with the efficiency of modern mechanical engineering and computer technology,” this is how Meyer & Grave sees itself. The premium staircases from solid wood are always individually customised to the clients‘ wishes and requirements. As top quality is of importance for them, the use of modern machinery is a must.

The function of a staircase is a practical and at the same time a decorative one. Where creativity is concerned, the limits of individualism seem to be reached – not so in the opinion of Dutchman Frans Sonnemans. His company’s specialty are staircases made from extravagant materials and variations regarding the type, style and design of a staircase.

Bühnenbau Wertheim GmbH have specialised in processing exclusive lumbers into first-class stage floors. In 2007, they had no longer any other choice than the use of a CNC-unit for processes, such as sawing, milling and drilling, to ensure efficient finishing of the plates.

If entertainment electronics companies are to be supplied with glossy acrylic panels for high-end applications, the surfaces won’t tolerate even the slightest flaw. In order to remain competitive, the two directors had to ensure planning reliability for the entire work process. This absolutely necessitated the expansion of their machinery by an efficient 5-axes CNC-milling machine.

With about 15,000 prefab houses, Gussek Haus is among the most renowned manufacturers in Germany. A VISION-II-ST Sprint has been in use since 2013, the intelligent configuration of which drastically reduces tool changing times and has thus made the line the core of staircase manufacturing

If someone in Switzerland wants to have an extraordinary staircase, he will inevitably come across the creative minds of Treppenbau.ch AG. Their staircase constructions start at a point, where others leave off because it gets too complicated. „The innovative gene of our employees when dealing with CNC-technology distinguishes us from our competitors.“

Its outstanding degree of specialisation when dealing with different technologies for the processing of organic materials makes Gaugler & Lutz unique in the market. The business sector, where they have achieved an excellent reputation as a manufacturer of semi-finished products over more than three decades, is the predominant one at a share in the sales volume of up to 80 percent.

Kaufmann Oberholzer AG produces almost everything you can dream of from wood. When it came to implementing 5-axis CNC systems in the company, it became clear that Reichenbacher was one step ahead of others: because support before and during project planning and installation is indispensable.

If it comes to being whisked off into a lively world full of fascinating discoveries, most probably Hüttinger will have been involved. In keeping with the motto: the visitors should enjoy the settings and have the possibility of making full use of the latest didactic developments to absorb the technical and scientific facts presented at various interactive stations.

Anyone can nest flat panels. Things get exciting when processes go beyond the ordinary: when a wide variety of materials – whether they can be picked up by suction or not – are handled fully automatically by a CNC system, from storage right through to stacking. This is exactly where the benefits of sophisticated systems become apparent.

Ikuform GmbH offers customised solutions for almost any field of modern plastics engineering. At first sight, they supply unspectacular parts, but without these parts an efficient production flow would often be impossible. For those in charge, technology is a key component of success.
