VTM's Fimal concept 350 is a compact panel saw engineered for small to mid-sized shops and occupies the same footprint as a sliding table saw. While chip-free, the panel saw sizes panels accurately, and with the standard electronically controlled blade tilt, a bevel cut of up to 46 degrees is possible. It features a single blade scoring function with the 300-350 mm blade being completely enclosed during the cutting cycle.

Giben's G4 EVO nesting line is a 3 axis CNC router that performs precise routing and boring. It features solid construction, high quality components, and machine characteristic of the Giben G4 nesting line. In an effort to increase the machine productivity by up to 90 percent, the G4 EVO adds the loading and off-loading to the standard CNC Router allowing for a continuous flow of operation.

Biesse’s Akron 1400 series of edgebanders is designed for mid-sized shops that demand high quality and are available with a variety of working units including a quick change glue applicator, high powered HSD precision motors, and corner rounding. Combined with Biesse’s PUR application system, Biesse says they are the perfect solution for processing thin tape, PVC, HPL, and solid wood strips.

Westlund's Matchfinder 3.0 allows a user to search by laminate brand, name, and product number, as well as by edgebanding manufacturer, color code, or part number. While working with manufacturers like, Canplast, Canplast Plus, and Rehau, Westlund carries thousands of color and texture options.

Stiles Machinery's intelliGuide panel saw operator assistance system is available in three versions and responds to the operator's movements in real time and visually guides them through the use of an LED light strip or laser technology projected directly onto the workpieces. With the full version, intelliGuide Professional, a camera system on top of the machine enables it to detect which workpiece is being inserted into the machine and how it is positioned prior to operation. If the operator makes a mistake, the system responds by adjusting the saw’s actions or informing the operator of the appropriate steps to correct the error.

Benz's new Compact Hold Down device provides additional downforce in nesting operations, preventing the movement of small pieces; a non-marring tracing shoe travels over parts with just enough force to hold them down without movement. Benz says the compact size accommodates the limited Z stroke in most nesting machines.

NexTech Machinery's edgebanders range from the EB200 Series to the EB400 Series. The EB200 Series is an entry-level edgebander that features a strong, heat-treated, solid frame. The EB300 Series is a heavy-duty, scalable edgebander designed for woodworking shops of any size. The EB400 series includes a corner rounding unit with two motors and features production flexibility with optional precision grooving.

Next Wave Automation says the Virtual Vision 3D is an advanced scanner controllable by a smart phone or computer. The device fits all CNC Shark and Piranha models and offers full-bed scanning capability.

SCM's Lean Robot Cell 4.0 takes Industry 4.0 concepts and puts them to practical use. The system is completely automated, served by two anthropomorphic robots and requires only one operator. On display at AWFS, the Lean Robot Cell 4.0 produced components for wardrobes and consisted of a Morbidelli M600 nesting machining center and a Stefani edgebander, fitted with a panel return device and a drilling center.

C.R. Onsrud says the Osync Machine Analytics v2.0 provides production managers with real-time monitoring for their CNC machinery. The continual feedback allows minor adjustments to be made, shaving precious seconds off of run times and maximizing cutting performance. The C.R. Onsrud service and support team can also be plugged in for remote monitoring of machine functions off-site.
