Wood Processing
Precise positioning and robust performance
Power meets precision – wood demands both
Woodworking machinery places high demands on drive technology. Adjustment movements must be accurate and repeatable – even under heavy loads from chips, dust, and vibration. At the same time, modern systems require flexible axes that can quickly adapt to different formats and tools. The environment is often harsh, yet maintenance effort must remain minimal.
Compact drives for demanding adjustment tasks
SPAT® offers compact, high-performance drives specifically designed to meet the challenges of woodworking applications. Thanks to rugged housings, reliable electronics, and low-maintenance motor–gearbox combinations, our systems withstand tough production conditions with ease. Their decentralized design saves control cabinet space and enables flexible, modular machine architectures.
Maximum precision in format adjustment and tool positioning
SPAT® drives are used in woodworking wherever repeat accuracy, dynamics, and reliability are essential. Whether for format adjustment, workpiece feeding, or positioning of cutting and calibration tools – our solutions impress with long service life, seamless integration into existing machinery, and consistent fieldbus communication. They are also an excellent choice for retrofit projects.
