Highlights of the HOLZ-HER Panel Center N 1228

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A powerful pusher mechanism works in sync with the outfeed conveyor to automatically move completed panels out of the nesting area. This keeps production flowing, reduces cycle times, and supports fully automated panel handling.
