ITALY – At Xylepxo, from May 24 to 28 in Milan, Scm will present the latest developments of the group and its brands in a large exhibition space of over 2600 square meters. 

These will include integrated solutions and modular cell systems, which reflect the intelligent innovation approach, a direct interpretation of the “Smart Manufacturing”. In particular Scm will present integrated production processes for panel and solid wood machining, all “intelligently flexible”, and capable of combining different levels of profitability/productivity, utmost customization and extremely easy reconfiguration possibilities. The aim is to provide the industry with solutions for productions with shorter time-to-market, to increase competitiveness on the markets and at the same time allow for a greater level of specialization. The technologies presented by the Scm Group are therefore designed to optimize and facilitate the creativity of small woodworking workshops and large industries, supporting them in the process towards “mass customization”.

“We have chosen to take part in Xylexpo to give a strong message to the market and to continue supporting the development of the Italian manufacturing technology industry, a globally recognized excellence and the reference point for wood manufacturing. For over 60 years we have supplied the widest and most innovative range of solutions and advanced systems, designed for those working with wood and other materials, such as plastic and composite materials and we want to maintain our guiding role in the sector”.  Luigi De Vito, Scm Group Machine Division Manager.

The software, a centrally important aspect to the “Smart Manufacturing” logic, will be one of the strong points at Xylexpo. Scm Group will bring to the show all its know-how and a suite of state of the art, and continuously evolving software, developed to guarantee the complete use of the machines’ functions and achieve a more flexible and customized production and industrial process.

Also at the show the Group will present its unique scalable cell systems. This range of solutions can meet the production demands of an industry that is increasingly looking for greater flexibility, easy integration and profitability. Many of the technological developments of the Group will be found in the integrated and modular production processes. This choice reflects the extensive and comprehensive competence of the Scm Group’s specialists in all the application fields of the sector. Two integrated cells for machining panels will be on show. A cell system for high production capacities (up to 800 pieces per shift) and a cell system for medium production capacities (up to 500 pieces per shift).

Also the focus will be on specific technologies. Among them the edge banding systems of the Stefani brand. In particular the wide range of gluing systems, the new SGP glue tank, Air Fusion technology, and the new integrated PU BOX L pre-melter, found on the whole range of Stefani and Scm Olimpic edge banders.
