STORETEQ F-100
CNC Machining Centers โ Homag Group
Single-axis feeder for efficient panel storage and feeding. Supports panel dividing with automatic material handling and intuitive control via woodStore software.
The STORETEQ F-100 is a single-axis automated feeder system that retrieves and positions panel stock from vertical stacking arrangements directly into downstream CNC machining or processing equipment. Operating as a materials handling bridge between storage and production, it eliminates manual panel handling and reduces setup time by automatically feeding panels on demand via vacuum suction technology.
The system accommodates panel dimensions from 2000 to 4200 mm in length and 600 to 2200 mm in width, with thickness range of 8 to 40 mm for coated materials and individual panel load capacity of 250 kg per unit. The carriage operates at 80 m/min traverse speed with a 25 m/min lifting drive, enabling rapid panel extraction and repositioning. Stacking height configuration reaches 1800 mm standard (2100 mm optional), supporting storage densities that maximize floor space utilization while maintaining accessibility for automated handling.
The F-100 is engineered for medium to industrial woodworking facilities processing volume runs of flat panelsโincluding particleboard, MDF, plywood, and laminated stockโwhere labor costs and cycle time justify automated material supply. It integrates with the woodStore software ecosystem for intuitive scheduling and just-in-time feeding logic, reducing operator dependency and improving machining center uptime. This class of equipment is most suited to cabinet manufacturers, panel converters, and production facilities running 2-3 shift operations with consistent panel specifications.

Applications
industrial batch production
industrial workshopHandles repetitive medium-volume runs (500โ5000 panel batches per month) where consistent material supply is critical. The 1800โ2100 mm stacking height accommodates full-shift storage buffers, and just-in-time feeding via woodStore reduces work-in-progress inventory and downstream CNC idle time in multi-axis production lines.
custom millwork
medium workshopAutomates material supply for small-batch custom projects involving hardwood veneered panels and engineered substrates. The woodStore integration allows quick reconfiguration for different panel sizes and thicknesses within the 250 kg per-panel limit, supporting shop flexibility while maintaining consistent feed timing to CNC machining operations.
cabinet making
industrial workshopSupplies pre-cut cabinet panels (particleboard, MDF, melamine) to CNC edge-banding and drilling centers on continuous feed schedule. The F-100 handles panels from 2000โ4200 mm length across standard cabinet widths (600โ2200 mm), automatically rotating and positioning each panel to match CNC fixturing requirements, reducing manual handling and increasing machining center utilization from 65% to 85%+.
panel processing
industrial workshopManages high-volume panel conversion operations where coated boards (8โ40 mm thickness) must be fed sequentially to multiple processing stations (ripping, grooving, profiling). The vacuum-based pickup system ensures damage-free handling of veneered and laminated surfaces, and the 80 m/min carriage speed supports batch cycles of 40โ60 panels per hour.
