FEEDBOT D-300 Robot Solutions

The FEEDBOT D-300 is a robotic automation system engineered to autonomously handle workpiece feeding, positioning, and material management for CNC drilling operations in furniture manufacturing. It integrates seamlessly with HOMAG's DRILLTEQ V-500 drilling centers to eliminate manual material handling and enable unattended, lights-out production cycles across extended batch runs. The system accommodates workpieces ranging from 350–3,050 mm in length and 120–1,200 mm in width, with a maximum weight capacity of 60 kg per piece. Its 1,500 mm maximum stacking height enables efficient material staging and buffer management, reducing operator intervention and bottlenecks between drilling operations. The D-300 supports multiple substrate types—chipboard, MDF, HDF, plywood, and solid wood—across various surface finishes including melamine, veneer, laminate, and raw surfaces, making it adaptable to diverse product specifications within a single production workflow. This solution targets medium to industrial furniture producers requiring consistent throughput on batch-size-1 or low-volume specialized orders where manual feeding would compromise cycle time and precision. The system is particularly valuable for shops producing cabinet components, drawer fronts, shelving elements, and architectural panels where drilling accuracy must be paired with rapid material flow. Installation footprint of approximately 10 m × 8 m × 3.4 m requires dedicated shop space but delivers measurable reductions in labor costs and setup variability. Within its class, the FEEDBOT D-300 distinguishes itself through direct compatibility with DRILLTEQ V-500 systems, enabling integrated part program control and synchronized drilling-to-feeding workflows without external controllers. This tight integration reduces commissioning time and operator training requirements compared to generic robotic arms adapted for woodworking applications.
