SAWTEQ S-200 flexTec
Panel Processing โ Homag Group
A suction traverse panel saw with integrated robot operation for unmanned, highly efficient batch size 1 production. The system enables continuous, automatic panel dividing with self-lowering lifting tables and removable insert plates.
The SAWTEQ S-200 flexTec is a robot-integrated panel dividing saw system engineered for fully automated, unattended production of sheet materials in batch size 1 workflows. The machine combines a suction traverse panel saw with robotic material handling and self-lowering lift tables, eliminating operator intervention during the cutting and stacking cycle. This integration enables continuous operation across multiple production runs without manual repositioning or operator presence.
The system achieves high cutting precision and speed through a 4300 mm cutting length capacity paired with saw carriage speeds up to 80 m/min (optional 120 m/min configuration). The main saw motor options range from 7.5 kW to 21 kW, with blade projection depths of 65 mm standard or 80 mm optional, providing flexibility for both thin sheet and solid panel applications. The 24" full-HD multi-touch display runs CADmatic 5 operating software, enabling intuitive nesting optimization and job setup without specialized programming expertise.
This machine targets medium to industrial woodworking facilities handling multi-material panel productionโincluding plywood, MDF, chipboard, and veneer-faced panelsโwhere production volumes justify automation investment but order sizes remain small or highly variable. The flexTec configuration is particularly suited to contract manufacturers, kitchen and cabinet shops, and furniture producers requiring rapid changeover between different panel specifications without production downtime.
Within its class, the SAWTEQ S-200 flexTec differentiates itself through integrated robotic material flow and the elimination of manual stack management, reducing labor per cutting cycle by 60โ80% compared to conventional traverse saws. The self-lowering lift table design maintains consistent offload height as stacks grow, reducing operator fatigue and material handling errors on high-volume runs.

Applications
custom furniture panel optimization
medium workshopFurniture manufacturers benefit from batch size 1 flexibility and rapid nesting recalculation between customer orders. The traverse saw processes component panels for sofas, tables, and storage units at up to 80 m/min carriage speed, minimizing kerf loss through optimized layout. Robotic stacking of finished components reduces manual handling and allows overnight unattended runs, supporting make-to-order production models.
contract panel processing service
industrial workshopIndustrial panel service centers operate the SAWTEQ S-200 flexTec in continuous multi-job environments, processing sheets for diverse clients (furniture, construction, packaging) in single-shift and extended-hour modes. The self-lowering lift table and unattended operation reduce labor cost per mยณ processed, while the optional 120 m/min carriage speed and 21 kW motor handle high-density panels and composite materials efficiently across high-throughput daily schedules.
solid wood panel production
medium workshopSolid wood processors use the machine to divide edge-banded and pre-finished panels into frame components and shelf blanks. The 80 mm optional blade projection depth accommodates solid wood thicknesses up to 40 mm (with dual-blade setup), while the robot integration ensures uniform stacking for downstream edge-processing and finishing lines without operator intervention.
cabinet making batch production
medium workshopCabinet shops use the SAWTEQ S-200 flexTec to automate the primary panel breakdown process for cases, frames, and internal dividers. The machine accepts nested cutting plans for mixed material types (plywood, MDF, veneer panels) via CADmatic 5, enabling unattended production of 50โ200 cabinet kits per shift. The 4300 mm cutting length accommodates full-size sheet processing, while robot integration stacks finished parts automatically for immediate secondary machining.
