Swiss timber construction leader, Hans Hunziker Holzbau AG, based in Moosleerau, has recently upgraded its production capabilities with SCM and its advanced “Oikos X” CNC machining centre. With over a century of experience in timber construction, the company remains committed to delivering high-quality, precision-crafted products, and this latest technological investment marks another milestone in their pursuit of excellence.
New machine upgrade streamlines operations and elevates project quality.
For Hans Hunziker Holzbau, precision is key to success. Simon Fuchs, Deputy General Director and Head of Timber Construction at the company, shares, “Our products are built at the factory, assembled, and delivered directly to the worksite. Whether we’re dealing with construction parts or windows and doors from our joinery workshop, accurate design is key to determining the success of each individual project.” The introduction of the Oikos X is set to further enhance this precision, enabling the company to deliver even more complex timber structures with flexibility and speed.
Advanced features deliver greater flexibility and faster production timelines.
The SCM Oikos X CNC machining centre brings several advantages to Hans Hunziker Holzbau’s operations. A standout feature is its laser probe, which allows for unprecedented precision, ideal for creating intricate dovetail joints and pockets. Additionally, the modern Maestro beam&wall software provides exceptional programming flexibility and faster execution, significantly reducing production times.
One of the key benefits of the Oikos X is its 6-axis operating unit. This allows any kind of machining on every side of a piece with a single positioning—eliminating the need for flipping the workpiece over. This reduction in operations not only improves efficiency but also reduces bulk and the number of tool changes required, speeding up the overall process.
Automatic loading and unloading systems enhance workflow and production.
In addition to the CNC machining capabilities, the Oikos X is equipped with automatic loading and unloading systems, further enhancing workflow efficiency. These systems, tailored to various production needs, allow for smoother handling of materials like glulam beams and complex modular structures, making it easier for the company to cater to custom orders. This feature is essential for the company’s growing market demand for modular timber frames, which require both flexibility and speed in production.
Hans Hunziker Holzbau’s legacy continues to thrive with cutting-edge technology.
Founded in 1905, Hans Hunziker Holzbau AG has built a legacy of quality and craftsmanship in the timber construction sector. From its origins as a joinery workshop and sawmill, the company has expanded its offerings to include construction, renovation, extensions, and more. Today, the company continues to adapt and innovate, ensuring it remains at the forefront of the Swiss timber industry.
Simon Fuchs expressed his satisfaction with the decision to adopt SCM’s Oikos X CNC centre: “We are extremely pleased with our decision to place our trust in SCM and its ‘Oikos X’.” The decision to invest in advanced machinery aligns with the company’s values of tradition, quality, and forward-thinking innovation.
Innovative machinery supports Hans Hunziker Holzbau’s vision for continued growth.
By integrating SCM’s Oikos X into its operations, Hans Hunziker Holzbau is preparing for the future of timber construction. With greater production flexibility, higher precision, and faster processing times, the company is well-equipped to meet the increasing demand for timber construction in both the residential and commercial sectors. As the company continues to grow, this investment ensures that Hans Hunziker Holzbau stays ahead in the evolving landscape of modern construction.
