Wood automation

Woodworking machines have to cut, trim and route panels cleanly, at the right speed, sheet after sheet.

RB Automation supplies the automation products that woodworking machine builders and furniture plants use to do this: stepper and servo systems for positioning and routing axes, AC drives for saw, router and trimming spindles, PLCs and HMIs for control, and inductive and photoelectric sensors with rotary encoders for panel detection and feed tracking.

The products below are grouped by type, and each group lists the woodworking machines it is used in: automatic edge banders, auto panel saws, CNC machines and engraving machines. We also build the PLC control panels that tie these products together.

What woodworking machines need
01 Positioning at a lower cost Stepper systems move pushers, fences and router axes accurately without the cost of servo. See products 02 Spindle speed control AC drives run saw blades, router spindles and trimming motors at the right speed. See products 03 Panel detection Photoelectric and inductive sensors detect each panel, and encoders track its feed. See products 04 Job settings on the HMI PLCs and HMIs store cut sizes and edge banding settings for each job. See products

Woodworking Machines We Supply Automation For

The automation products each machine uses. Open any product to see the full range.

01

Automatic Edge Bander Machine

Glues and trims edge band tape on panel edges. An encoder tracks the panel feed, sensors detect the panel, and stepper motors position the trimming units.

Products used
PLC HMI AC Drive Encoder Stepper Motor & Driver Proximity Sensor Photoelectric Sensor Control Panel
02

Auto Panel Saw Machine

Cuts large boards into panels. A stepper system positions the pusher to the cut size, an AC drive runs the saw blade, and proximity sensors set the limits.

Products used
PLC HMI Stepper Motor & Driver AC Drive Proximity Sensor Control Panel
03

CNC Machine

Routes, drills and profiles wood panels. Servo or stepper systems drive the X, Y and Z axes, and an AC drive runs the router spindle.

Products used
Stepper Motor & Driver Servo Motor & Driver AC Drive Proximity Sensor Control Panel
04

Engraving Machine

Engraves designs and lettering on wood. Servo or stepper axes follow the tool path, and an AC drive sets the spindle speed.

FAQs

Wood Automation: FAQs

Most woodworking machines use stepper or servo systems for positioning and routing axes, AC drives for saw and router spindles, a PLC and HMI for control, and photoelectric and inductive sensors with encoders for panel detection. RB Automation supplies all of these.

Stepper systems suit smaller routers at moderate speeds and cost less, and closed-loop steppers add feedback so steps are not lost. Servo systems suit larger, faster machines. Share the table size, cutting speed and load and we will recommend a match.

Choose the drive by the spindle motor's power and speed range. We supply Frecon and Schneider Altivar AC drives. Share the motor nameplate and we will recommend a model.

Yes. We supply photoelectric sensors that detect the panel edge, inductive proximity sensors for homing and rotary encoders that track the panel feed.

Yes. We design and build PLC control panels with the HMI, drives and wiring for a woodworking machine. If you build panels in-house, we supply the products separately.

Yes. We are based in Ahmedabad and supply woodworking machine builders across Gujarat and India. Call +91 8511104864 or send your requirement and we call back during business hours.

There is no single price for wood industry automation products. The cost depends on which PLC, HMI, servo or stepper system, AC drive, sensor and transmitter your machine needs, on the ratings and communication protocol you select, and on the order quantity, so RB Automation quotes every requirement individually. Send your machine details or bill of material through the inquiry form on this page, call +91 8511104864 or email contact@rbautomate.com to get a current quotation.

RB Automation supplies wood industry automation products from Ahmedabad to machine builders, OEMs and plants across Gujarat and India. As an authorised Schneider Electric partner and an authorised technical partner of Rtelligent, we supply the PLC, HMI, AC drives, servo and stepper systems, sensors and transmitters for one machine from a single source, so you do not have to buy each part from a different dealer.
