Solid wood handling and Pre-fabricated house construction
The innovative handling solutions for solid wood in the timber industry and prefabricated house construction.
The system
The SWS solid wood storage system is the optimal system for the storage of glulam and solid construction wood poles.
Solid wood logs are stored in stanchion compartments and can then be fed to cross-cut saws or joinery lines. Furthermore, there is the possibility of simple commissioning of customer packages or complex package formation after joinery.
These systems impress with their high flexibility. The stanchion compartments can easily be adapted to the desired log widths. Several logs can be stored in one layer per stanchion compartment. This significantly increases the performance of the system compared to conventional one-dimensional storage.
The integration of heavy conveyor technology is essential for this type of plant. Chain conveyors or roller conveyors can be easily integrated into the system.
The suction beam
The suction traverse has been designed in such a way that several bars can be picked up at the same time. Depending on the dimensions of the individual bars, one bar or up to 5 bars can be suctioned at the same time.
The individual suction circuits are automatically controlled according to the requirements or the dimensions and number of bars. With only one stroke several bars can be transported and thus also a lot of energy is saved.
With this solution, the system achieves a significant increase in performance. Cracked bars can also be picked up and transported with the specially developed suction cups.

Simple or multi-level solutions
The solid wood storage system SWS can be realized as a floor storage system but also as a two-storey version. The standard solution is a warehouse on one level. Depending on the required performance of the system, one or two manipulators can be used.
The next step is a two-level facility. High hall heights are optimally used by adding an intermediate floor to the system and the resulting upper area can also be used for storage.
This area can be used mainly for B&C goods or also for residual bars. The lower stacking heights even allow storage without stanchions.
Interlinking with machines & ERP system
Depending on the desired application, a wide variety of machines can be linked. Whether simple cross-cut saws or complex joinery centers - everything is possible. Not only the feeding of the system, but also the further handling with finished individual parts is possible. Depending on the set-up, residual parts can also be stored again. The connection of the machines is realized via modern interfaces. The open interfaces can also be used by ERP systems. All storage and material data are available to other systems.
The green idea
This machine is not only a warehouse but also helps the environment with the chosen technology. The drive and vacuum technology was chosen so intelligently that the required electricity was reduced to a minimum. The vacuum is generated directly where it is needed. Any losses are avoided. The compact yet stable design allows the use of comparatively low drive power. By accommodating several bars, the number of travel movements is drastically reduced.
Press article about the SWS Solid Wood Storage
"Einlagerung und Selektion massiv beschleunigen" // Holz + Möbel 2020 - German only
An editorial article in the trade magazine Holz & Möbel 2020 about the realization of a solid wood warehouse at our customer Feil GmbH in Siegsdorf near Traunstein/Germany informs about the advantages of the solid wood warehouse and the facilitation of the pre-selection of workpieces for production.
In the store-in area, a laser scanner automatically detects the edges of the wooden planks and also saves an image of the wood grain. The storage software not only keeps track of the planks regarding formats and quantities, but also offers an overview of the workpiece surface before ordering planks for store-out or feeding into a machining centre.
With this solution we can offer a fully automated store-in of delivered wooden planks on a pallet. First a layer with multiple planks is scanned and then stored individually after measuring and edge detection. Before the step for the next layer can be repeated, intermediate timbers are stripped with our special traverse.
The Solid Wood Storage SWS combines many years of experience in the field of wood panel handling with innovation in design and software. Our traverse is specially designed for the handling of solid wood and integrates a laser scanner as well as a stripping mechanism.
Your benefits at a glance
- Fully automatic storage of wooden planks on pallets
- Laser scan and photo of the workpieces during store-in
- Automatic wipe-off function for packaging wood
- Edge detection and width measurement during store-in
- Sorting and storage of wooden planks according to their maximum width
- Special suction traverse - ideally suited for solid wood
- Surface preview of the workpiece before store-out or feeding
- Flexible store-in and store-out configurations - also available with roller conveyors
Automatic Laser Scan
of surface and edge contour
A laser scan of the surface not only allows the edge contour to be recognized, but also gives the operator a very good image of the wood grain and surface for the retrieval and feeding process. This makes it possible to determine whether the wood pattern is suitable for further processing or if it is necessary to select a different workpiece to be retrieved.
Fully Automatic Store-in
of delivered planks with wipe-off function for packaging wood
Our Solid Wood Storage SWS enables the fully automatic store-in of wooden planks that arrive stacked on a pallet with packaging wood inbeetween layers. Once the store-in is started, no operator is necessary for until the storage system is ready for the next pallet to load. During the storage process one workpiece after the other is stored and packaging woods are automatically pushed off before manipulation.
