Visit Oppein China
On 16/04/2024, we had the honour of welcoming a 13-strong delegation from Oppein China, one of the largest kitchen furniture manufacturers in Asia as well as a delegation from HOMAG. After the welcome and a little refreshment, we got straight down to the product presentations and the exchange of information. The biggest challenges in the furniture industry worldwide are currently reliable quality assurance, fast and reliable error identification and the reduction of rejects, which is moving more and more into the focus in China.
The focus was on the topic of high-precision measurement with the help of AI and software especially developed by HECHT. Information and innovations were presented and then our products borehole inspection, OptoDesQVmax and 4-i scanner were presented live. There was the opportunity to clarify all technical and software-related questions and to examine the user interface with measurement results.
The borehole inspection offers a solution for increasing process reliability. Missing drill holes are recognised immediately. It is no longer necessary to search for and sort parts due to drill hole breakage that is recognised too late. By using the ROI function, it is possible to recognise whether the drill holes are in the correct position – a displaced drilling pattern or twisted parts are therefore a thing of the past.
The HECHT OptoDesQVmax, an optical operator-guided offline measuring table, impresses with its fast and precise measurement of furniture parts, which can increase machine efficiency by up to 20% in co-operation with the spindle data feedback and the throughfeed drilling machine.
To round off the product presentations, we moved on to the 4-i scanner. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, it ensures reliable processes. Up to 100% inspection in throughput is guaranteed: Dimensional inspection, drilling pattern inspection, surface and edge inspection are combined in one system. Finally, contacts were exchanged. HECHT AG is looking forward to a successful co-operation in the future.
