HOMAG’s entry-level machinery range supports smarter production

For smaller manufacturers and joinery workshops, investing in new machinery is often a balancing act. Space is limited, budgets are tight and every machine must deliver immediate, measurable value.

That’s why HOMAG offers a full range of entry-level machinery – the SAWTEQ S-100, DRILLTEQ V-200, EDGETEQ S-200 and CENTATEQ P-100 – for businesses seeking a practical way to introduce powerful automation into their workshop.

Individually, each of these machines can deliver substantial increases in efficiency, quality and capacity. Together, they create a seamless workflow from raw panel through to finished component, transforming production processes from start to finish.

The DRILLTEQ V-200 offers a highly compact solution that requires as little as 5sq.m of floor space

SAWTEQ S-100: Reliable, precise panel cutting

Every efficient production process starts with accurate cutting. The SAWTEQ S-100 is designed to deliver dependable performance, providing the precision and repeatability smaller workshops need to build a solid production foundation.

With optimised cutting cycles and user-friendly controls, the machine enables fast, accurate panel sizing across a variety of materials. Its robust saw unit and intelligent control system help to minimise waste while maintaining consistent cut quality – an essential requirement for downstream processes.

As Chris Ross, Workshop Manager at Maton Rose Interiors Limited, says: “This is the first HOMAG machine we’ve invested in and no doubt it won’t be the last. I’d recommend the S-100 saw to any manufacturer looking for a robust, reliable beam saw with a small footprint.”

DRILLTEQ V-200: Compact CNC machining in minimal space

Introducing CNC capability is a major step for many smaller workshops, but space is often a limiting factor.

The DRILLTEQ V-200 addresses this directly, offering a highly compact solution that requires as little as 5sq.m of floor space. This makes it possible to integrate CNC machining without significant changes to the existing workshop layout.

Despite its compact footprint, the machine is equipped with high-speed vertical and horizontal drilling spindles, a grooving saw and routing unit. With options including up to 13 vertical spindles and automatic tool changing, it delivers fast, precise processing while keeping setup times to a minimum.

“These machines are very fast and very powerful,” says Aleksandr Zdanovs from The CNC Workshop, who recently invested in a DRILLTEQ V-200 alongside a HOMAG beam saw and edgebander.

“They’re essentially built for mass production, and for a small business like ours, this represents a world of opportunity.”

EDGETEQ S-200: Consistent, high-quality edging

Edging is a critical step in achieving a professional finish and consistency is key. The EDGETEQ S-200 offers feed speeds of up to 11m/min, providing efficient processing without compromising on quality.

This compact design makes it ideal for smaller workshops while still delivering precise glue application and clean trimming results.

Designed with ease of use in mind, the machine allows operators to achieve repeatable, high-quality edges with minimal adjustment, supporting consistent output across a wide range of jobs. 

As Paul Bowman, Sales Director at English Hardwood Design Ltd, recently highlighted: “The EDGETEQ S-200 is very easy to programme and reduces a lot of unnecessary workload, and of course, the quality is absolutely bob-on.”

CENTATEQ P-100: Flexible CNC processing for growing demand

As workshops take on more varied and complex work, flexibility becomes increasingly important. The CENTATEQ P-100 offers a versatile CNC solution with configurable processing capabilities, allowing users to handle routing, drilling and shaping tasks within a single machine.

The compact footprint and scalable configuration options make it particularly well suited to entry-level users, while still providing the performance required to support more advanced applications as the business grows.

Simple to operate, easy to adopt

For many businesses, the move towards automation is often held back by concerns around complexity. HOMAG addresses this with intuitive control systems and proven software such as woodWOP and smartWOP. These solutions make programming and operation accessible, even for workshops with limited CNC experience.

Features such as graphical programming, CAD import and 3D simulation help reduce errors, speed up setup and give operators greater confidence in day-to-day production.

A practical step into modern production

This foundational range of machinery is designed to help smaller manufacturers take a practical, measured step into modern production.

To further support investment, HOMAG offers flexible finance options at competitive rates, allowing workshops to spread the cost of new machinery and accelerate their transition to automated production.

With a focus on compact design, ease of use and reliable performance, HOMAG is providing solutions that fit the realities of smaller workshops while still delivering the efficiency and quality required to remain competitive.
