This machine is used to split tree trunks.

Industrial machine    

Chain saw

This system turns tree trunks into handy pieces of firewood.

Chain saw    

Woodworking

Flexible machining of wooden materials with rotations around the own axis for up to 1440 degrees.

Woodworking    

Bow chain

In customized special purpose machines for model- and mold-making, four different energy supply systems are used due to the high demands and low space requirement.

Bow chain    

Wood and sandwich processing

Here an energy supply system was developed from standard parts, whose piggyback system at last allocates a
defined place for the large volume suction hoses.
