TRADITIONAL craftsmanship continues to represent an important pillar of our society as well as a major economic factor. Accordingly, the Altendorf Group’s Research and Development team has been working on bringing new products to market as well as adding new features to the already established series.
The Altendorf Group knows what counts and thus acts, among others, as a digital pulse generator for the trade.
At the Holz-Handwerk, the Altendorf Group presented HAND GUARD, believed to be the world’s first AI- and camera-based safety assistance system for sliding table saws. This outstanding innovation will help to prevent the up to 120 reportable sliding table saw accidents per month in Germany in the future. For this reason, HAND GUARD has received the German Occupational Safety Award. But that is not all: the system has been certified by the German Employers’ Liability Insurance Association for Wood and Metal and, with the GS seal, is believed to redefine the safety standard for sliding table saws on the world market. The
Altendorf Group knows what counts — and that is, among other things, “Maximum safety in the trade”. With HAND GUARD, injuries to fingers and hands are a thing of the past, according to Altendorf.
The Altendorf Group is committed to always getting the most out of its products and has added many new features to its popular Hebrock K-Series and F-Series edgebanders. Read more on page 24 of this issue.
The success story of the Altendorf company began with the F 45 sliding table saw. The F series was then successively expanded. Now the F 35 complements the product range and offers more operating comfort and performance with a larger display and additional functions. Robust and solidly manufactured, it naturally with stands all the demands of everyday life in a joinery.
The desire to make processes at the machines even more efficient is also present in small joineries. This is where the myALTENDORFGROUP app comes in, in which all Altendorf Group machines can be managed. In addition to other functions, a support request can be started at any time via chat or video function.
Visitors were also be able to discuss the topics of machine connectivity and voice control concepts for edge banding machines with the Altendorf Group team at the trade show booth.
