BARBARIC Warehouse Automation & Panel Handling

Barbaric panel storage systems automate panel storage in wood and furniture industries. The principle: instead of stacking, searching and carrying panels manually, a ceiling-mounted crane with vacuum suction cups takes over the entire material flow. Panels are stored chaotically or by type, digitally managed and delivered just-in-time to panel saws or CNC machining centres. This saves labour, reduces panel damage and increases material utilisation. For joinery shops with limited budget, the CSF Professional is the compact entry solution, the CSF Industrial serves high-performance operations with cycle times below one minute, and the CSF Multilevel offers multi-storey capacities. Asamer plans and supplies Barbaric panel storage for Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary — from layout design through ERP integration to commissioning and maintenance contract. Economic analysis shows: at medium to large panel volumes, the system typically pays off in 12 to 24 months.

Barbaric feeding systems automatically supply panel saws with the correct panel material at the right time. Instead of an operator manually carrying and loading every panel, the feeding system takes over this task — usually in combination with a panel storage and ERP-controlled order management. This saves personnel at the saw table, prevents material mix-ups and increases net saw throughput. For industrial cutting operations seeking maximum saw utilisation, Barbaric feeding systems are key technology. Asamer plans integration into existing or new installations for Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary — coordinated with saws from Mayer, Holzma, Schelling or other manufacturers.

Barbaric nesting pickers automatically retrieve finished cut parts from the nesting CNC, sort them and stack them by order. This makes the nesting cell fully automatic: the CNC cuts the panel material into all required parts, the nesting picker lifts them off and assigns them to the correct order. The advantage: no manual part removal, no sorting errors, shorter CNC downtimes. The LCV Performance is the Barbaric standard model for furniture manufacturers; the NST nesting picker is the compact solution. Asamer integrates Barbaric nesting pickers for CZ, SK and HU into existing installations from Homag, Biesse, SCM or other nesting manufacturers — including software integration and camera programming.

Barbaric return systems (RTS) automatically transport finished workpieces back to the machine operator. Typical application: edgebanding machines where the operator would otherwise need to carry the workpiece around the machine after each pass. With the RTS, a conveyor takes over this task — the operator can handle input and output from the same position, enabling one-man operation and freeing personnel resources for other tasks. RTS Compact is the space-saving entry solution, RTS Professional the proven joinery standard, RTS Industrial the high-performance variant for continuous operation. Asamer plans, delivers and installs Barbaric return systems for edgebanders of all manufacturers — OTT, Homag, Felder, Biesse, SCM — in CZ, SK and HU.

Barbaric buffer conveyors (TMP) decouple consecutive processing stations and enable continuous material flow even with different cycle times. Between panel saw and edgebander, between nesting CNC and paint line or between assembly cells, a TMP buffer conveyor ensures that downstream stations don't wait for supply — and upstream stations aren't blocked by full belts. For furniture manufacturers and cutting operations, the TMP is key technology for production stability. Asamer plans buffer conveyors for customers in CZ, SK and HU as an integral part of continuous production lines.

Barbaric handling systems for doors (DRX, CSF Industrial Türen, LPS) automate the special handling of residential, room and industrial doors in production. Doors are large, heavy and delicate workpieces: surfaces must not scratch, fittings must be precisely recessed, edges must be cleanly processed. Barbaric offers both vacuum handling (DRX for individual doors) and fully automatic storage systems (CSF Industrial Türen) and labelling solutions (LPS). For door manufacturers and furniture factories producing doors in series, these systems are the most economical solution for process reliability. Asamer supplies door handling systems for CZ, SK and HU including layout planning.

Barbaric labelling systems (LPS) automatically apply barcodes, QR codes or RFID tags to workpieces — for seamless traceability and error-free order assignment. In furniture and door production, digital labelling is the key to batch-size-1 production: every part receives a unique ID that is preserved through all processing stations and linked to the ERP order. Asamer integrates LPS systems into production lines for CZ, SK and HU — both as a standalone station and as part of comprehensive automation projects.

Barbaric vacuum lifters (UWL series) enable ergonomic, safe and precise handling of large and heavy panels, doors or worktops. Instead of lifting by hand — which can cause back problems, panel damage and scratches on coated surfaces — the workpiece is lifted contact-free via vacuum, positioned floating and set down in a controlled manner. The UWL series covers all typical applications: UWL-3 as standard, UWL-3S for thinner panels, UWL-3J for faster cycles, UWL-1 as entry, UWL-5 for heavy loads. Asamer supplies, services and certifies Barbaric vacuum lifters for CZ, SK and HU — including annual safety inspection.

Barbaric special vacuum lifters (SWL series, NGR) come into play when standard suction cups are not sufficient: specialised gripping techniques exist for planks (Plank-Lifter), sensitive surfaces (needle gripper), long profiles or non-flat workpieces. SWL Grip-Lifters combine vacuum with mechanical gripping for difficult geometries; NGR needle grippers penetrate porous materials like insulation panels; RWL Rack-Lifters lift parts from racks. For furniture factories, panel finishers and special manufacturing, these special tools are the only way to automate certain handling tasks. Asamer designs special vacuum technology for CZ, SK and HU individually.

Barbaric vacuum traverses are long gripper systems for handling large-format, long or lightweight workpieces — such as thin panels, doors, sheet metal or Plexiglas. The traverse distributes suction cups across the entire workpiece area and provides stable, low-warp handling even for flexible material. Typical models: thin panel traverse for thin chipboard or MDF, door traverse for door elements, and sheet-metal-Plexiglas traverse for metal or plastic panels. For materials that would sag or break during conventional lifting, traverses are indispensable. Asamer supplies vacuum traverses for CZ, SK and HU including safety acceptance.

Barbaric vacuum cranes are the stationary or area-covering handling systems when regular panel movements over defined paths are required — but without a fully automatic panel storage. They range from column slewing cranes (SSK) through rail systems (SSY) to truss bridges (2D and 3D) for large hall areas. The common principle: a crane travels or slews over the work area, picks up loads via vacuum and sets them down precisely — controlled by the operator or automatically via PLC. For joinery shops, warehousing operations and production lines with heavy workpieces, vacuum cranes are an economical handling solution. Asamer plans the right crane class depending on layout and operational profile for customers in CZ, SK and HU.
