The high flexibility and various uses of CNC machines have made them increasingly essential for wood processing operations. CNC machines are ideal for handling various wood types such as plywood or MDF panels as well as other materials like plastic and non-ferrous metals.

Loading and unloading a CNC machine typically involves manual handling of heavy components into and out of the machine centre. This process can be a major risk for both employee injuries and product damage, since it often requires the operator to reach over into the machine in a non-ergonomic way, while also demanding high precision when loading the components.

Lifting, transporting and placing down large and heavy sheets or components typically requires more than one person, making it a time consuming and costly work process. A lift system suited for handling the loading and unloading is therefore a sound investment that will bring noticeable and quick value to business operations.

Depending on specific needs and work situations the kind of lifting solution best suited for your business work flow can be everything from a fast vacuum device to a high-precision hoist. At TAWI we supply a wide range of lift systems suitable for wood working processes, including well-tested devices for CNC loading and unloading.
