The versatile machine with powerful function and performance options
The ROBOT-Drive joinery machine provides versatility, performance and flexibility and is based on the experiences gained from more than 7000 delivered Hundegger machines.
The concept, with its versatile options, offers timber construction companies a way to individually and precisely adapt the machine to their specific tasks prior to purchase in in-depth consultation with experienced Hundegger engineers. With its 6-axis robot unit in conjunction with a 5-axis saw/slot/marking unit that enables performance to be increased further, the ROBOT-Drive is truly unique on the market. If requirements change, however, the machine can also be retrofitted on site after installation.
Compact dimensions and modular design – the ROBOT-Drive offers maximum flexibility and almost unlimited processing possibilities.
The three basic versions of the ROBOT-Drive with different processing widths:
- ROBOT-Drive 450 - from 20 x 60 to 300 x 450 mm - the basic machine for every carpentry business
- ROBOT-Drive 650 - from 20 x 60 to 300 x 650 mm - for the trend towards larger timber cross-sections
- ROBOT-Drive 1300 - from 20 x 60 to 300 x 1,300 mm - for all requirements up to the joining of laminated girders and cross laminated timber
THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ROBOT-Drive
In addition to the basic equipment, the ROBOT-Drive offers various additional options such as drilling units, slot cutter, labelling system and label printer. Functional options such as the conveyor belt for short parts, the central lubrication system or an additional screen above the part discharge point also provide high flexibility. If you need even more speed and power, you can use the performance enhancement package RD.
Patented 6-axis ROBOT unit
The ROBOT unit with a standard power rating of 12 kW and infinitely variable speed from 0 to 12,000 rpm caters for every need.
5-axis saw/slot/marking device
The overhead 5-axis saw/slot/marking unit with a drive rating of 13 kW further increases the throughput of the ROBOT-Drive.<br/>
Water-cooled high-performance spindle
If you need even higher performance, the robot unit can alternatively be equipped with a water-cooled 29 kW high-performance spindle with up to 15,000 rpm.

ROBOT-Drive machining examples
With a huge increase in flexibility, quality and efficiency.
PERFECT JOINERY
The ROBOT-Drive carries out all the usual joinery processing activities with maximum precision, even on larger part cross-sections, and all this in a single run, without the part needing to be turned over or rotated. The high individualization of the ROBOT-Drive concept proves its worth every day anew, because the ROBOT-Drive can be optimally adapted to new requirements, even long after purchase.
UP TO 1,300 MM MACHINING WIDTH
The versatile machine with powerful function and performance options, for all processing requirements up to the joining of laminated girders and cross laminated timber.
CAPACITY INCREASE WITH SIMULTANEOUS COST REDUCTION
Whether carpentry joinery, timber frame construction, log house construction, half-timber house construction, glulam construction or the joining of cross laminated timber – the 6-axis robot unit with its flexible tool changer is perfectly equipped for every challenge. Trimming, grooving, drilling, milling, slotting or marking: with the right tool in the magazine, the processing possibilities are almost unlimited. The infinitely variable speed range of the ROBOT spindle in combination with different tool approach strategies and processing cycles selected according to the specific requirement ensure surfaces up to visual quality.

Modular design
Can be individually adapted to your needs
VARIANTS
The machines thanks to their modular construction can be retrofitted with units at will and expanded, if necessary, at any time.
One thing above all is crucial for flexible production: Processing of all 6 sides of the part in one run – without turning
of the part and with up to 24 freely selectable tools. And this is precisely the principle that drives the ROBOT-Drive to top performance.
Main units
An unbeatable duo: The ROBOT unit and the 5-axis saw/slot/marking device.
Options
In addition to the basic equipment, the ROBOT-Drive offers various additional options such as drilling units, slot cutter, labelling system and label printer.

Automation of the Hundegger ROBOT-Drive
Flexible thanks to a modular system
Automatic infeed
The operator can place several pieces of timber at the same time on the infeed cross conveyor with buffer stainless-steel slatband chains.
The system automatically feeds these pieces of timber to the processing zone separately and without damage.
This allows the operator to perform other tasks.
Hydraulic lift table
The hydraulic lift table is installed upstream of the infeed cross conveyor.
Stacks of timber can be placed on the lift table and raised to the desired height.
This enables timber to be fed in continuously level with the infeed cross conveyor.
Timber discharge
The finished parts are pushed onto a plastic-coated timber discharge point with an ejection guide plate both on the operator side and at the rear of the machine.
Additional chain elements additionally help transport heavy parts out.
Alternatively, the timber discharge points can also be replaced by a cross conveyor.
Disposal of chips and waste wood
Chips and waste wood fall down into the disposal channel. From there, they are transported safely and effectively out of the processing zone by means of a cross-pusher integrated in the machine outfeed, and are then fed to subsequent disposal solutions. This could be a chipper or an inclined conveyor belt leading to a chip container, even with separation of offcuts and chips, if necessary. Alternatively, transport conveyor belts can be implemented instead of the transport slider.
The ROBOT-Drive can be mounted with a base directly on a concrete floor. In order to reduce the loading and removal height, the disposal system is installed in a pit underneath the processing zone.
