The following are some of the possible problems and causes that can occur during the edgebanding process.

Integrating the data, seamlessly from order entry to manufacturing (and beyond) is the challenge.

We define logistics as the processes that ensure product is manufactured correctly, on-time and complete when and where it is needed.

At Hexagon Live, Ericsson's V.P., Erik Josefsson, discussed how cellular connectivity through 5G can be foundation for Industry 4.0

The oil-sealed liquid ring vacuum pump (LRVP) deserves a place at the table – the router table, that is.

Dependable vacuum hold-down capability is crucial to all jobs, but especially those that involve CNC routing of smaller parts.

How software impacts the saw’s efficiency and workplace productivity.

Are your cuts lacking that high-quality finish you were hoping for, even though you’re using the right tools and hold-down system? If the answer is yes, then you may need to examine the way you’re plunging your tools into the material. In most cases, a vertical plunge is a perfectly fine way to start your cutting process. But sometimes, when combined with certain tools and materials, this method can cause a host of problems.

CNC router tables have a flat, machined surface with grooves or channels over the whole area and rubber seals. Metallurgical advancement in router bits have allowed for higher speed machining, creating a substantial force on the parts on the table, therefore requiring a tremendous hold-down vacuum force on these parts. Vacuum provides the means to create those forces.

Industry 4.0 or The Connected Factory will transform the woodworking and furniture industry in the same way it will change all other manufacturing sectors.
