U.S. – The HOLZ-HER Evolution 7405 vertical CNC processing center has won the “Visionary Award” at the AWFS trade fair in Las Vegas in the category for particularly high-quality machinery. The jury highlighted the vacuum-based clamping system for which a patent is pending. 

The system has software-controlled, fully-automated suction positioning with through-hole drill detection. Unique in its class, the Evolution allows precise edge-routing of all four workpiece edges without circular clamping. The compact CNC processing center requires little space yet offers the customer outstanding productivity. The Evolution previously won the Challengers Award at the IWF in Atlanta in August 2014.

HOLZ-HER joined the WEINIG Group in 2010 and is a specialist for edge banders, processing centers, pressure beam saws and panel diving saws for the wood and furniture industries. The Company operates branches in Canada, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and the USA and production in Voitsberg, Austria.
