HIGHLIGHTS OF THE HOLZ-HER PANEL CENTER N 1228

HIGHLIGHT

Outfeed Conveyor Belt

An integrated motorized outfeed conveyor smoothly removes finished parts from the working area, reducing manual handling and increasing productivity. The conveyor is designed for scratch-free, damage-free part transport, ready for downstream operations or immediate packing.

HIGHLIGHT

Lifting Table (Automatic Models)

A heavy-duty scissor-lift table automatically loads raw boards onto the machine, perfectly synchronized with the Power Label system. It minimizes operator strain and speeds up production cycles, especially in high-throughput environments.

HIGHLIGHT

Power Label System (Automatic Models)

Prints and applies labels to panels before machining, ensuring parts can be clearly identified during assembly. The system is seamlessly integrated with the nesting software , boosting accuracy and eliminating sorting errors.

HIGHLIGHT

16-Position Rotary Tool Changer

Mounted directly on the beam, this high-speed carousel changer reduces tool change time dramatically compared to linear changers. ISO or HSK tool holders are supported, giving you industrial-grade flexibility for different cutting, grooving, and drilling operations.

HIGHLIGHT

9-Spindle Drilling Head

Equipped with 9 vertical spindles (5 in X, 4 in Y), this drill block makes cabinet and shelf drilling fast, accurate, and highly efficient. Controlled directly through the software interface, it can handle standard line boring, hinge holes, and more.

HIGHLIGHT

Vacuum Matrix Table and high performance pump

A precision-milled vacuum matrix table with multiple programmable zones provides secure clamping for small and large workpieces alike. The powerful rotary vane vacuum pump ensures constant, reliable hold-down force — even with porous materials — to maintain cutting quality and repeatable accuracy.
