High-quality painted surfaces always require a perfect interaction of the machine technology and the components or materials used. This can only be achieved through intensive partnerships and exchanges between machine manufacturers and specialists for all kinds of coating agents. As a leading supplier of solutions for production in the woodworking industry and trade, HOMAG is now relying on a partnership with IVM Chemicals GmbH. The paint specialist’s technical center in Herrenberg has recently been equipped with surface finishing machines – to experience them live in action.
Extensive test runs for HOMAG customers
In order to determine the right surface technology for the high-quality processing of wood surfaces, it usually requires extensive test runs. Often it is only small factors that are crucial for an optimal end result.
