Smart automation for prefab timber construction at Senmar (PT)

Robotized Timber frame production boosts efficiency at Senmar

 

The Portuguese company Senmar   has upgraded its prefab timber wall production with a robotized timber frame line engineered by Handsaeme Machinery (Belgium). This investment aligns perfectly with their long-term strategy to improve wall panel manufacturing efficiency, precision, and operator safety.

From BIM design to automated production
The new production setup features a robotic manipulator equipped with a vacuum grip system for precise handling of OSB, plywood, and gypsum boards, as well as automated butterfly tables designed to streamline the wall panel assembly process.
These solutions are seamlessly integrated into Senmar’s existing BIM-driven production workflow, allowing digital drawings to directly guide production. This minimizes manual setup, reduces human error, and ensures consistently high accuracy from design to final product.

 

 

Ergonomic efficiency and digital precision
Senmar’s recent LinkedIn update highlighted how Belgian automation technology supports their commitment to operational excellence and innovation.
Since installation, Senmar has reported measurable improvements in operator ergonomics, production throughput, and quality control.
Heavy manual handling is replaced by smart automation, allowing operators to focus on supervision and craftsmanship.
This project showcases how Belgian engineering and robotized timber frame technology can shape the future of industrialized timber construction across Europe.

Innovation in Action!🔧

We are thrilled to share that we’ve successfully 3D printed a 270mm diameter wheel using our new ISLM280 metal printer! 🖨️✨ This wheel will be mounted on an industrial robot designed for prefab timber frame wall production.

Efficient dust extraction

As part of our ongoing partnership with AniMA, we’re excited to unveil our latest breakthrough—a custom-designed 3D-printed wheel (Ø270mm) produced using the advanced ISLM280 metal printer. This precision-engineered component plays a pivotal role in enhancing dust control within our newest automated timber wall production line.

 

The wheel is mounted on an industrial robot responsible for performing key tasks such as milling, sawing, and nailing. As the robot moves between these operations, the wheel dynamically adjusts the length of the dust extraction tube to match the robot’s position, ensuring effective and continuous dust collection. In combination with a specially designed cylinder, this system optimizes the tube length for each task, significantly improving operational efficiency.

Transforming Pallet Production:
Automated Precision with the HM-ROB G2

Traditional Challenges

Conventional pallet production relies on jigs, which are essentially molds that hold wooden parts in place during assembly. This process requires operators to position the parts within the jigs, introducing a labor cost and potential inconsistency. Additionally, changing between different pallet designs necessitates switching jigs, leading to downtime.

The HM-ROB G2 Difference

The HM-ROB G2 takes a revolutionary approach. By employing robots programmed for both holding and joining wooden parts, jigs become obsolete. This single-step process enhances precision and streamlines production.

 

A Time-Winning Solution

Our primary objective with the HM-ROB G2 was to minimize changeover time and enable 24/7 continuous production. By no longer working with jigs, the machine can easily assemble products of various dimensions consecutively without the need for mold changes. This flexibility significantly reduces downtime and boosts efficiency.


The result? Higher quality and accuracy with accepted tolerances, and the only human intervention required is to provide the wood.

Benefits of Jig-Free Automation

1- Reduced Labor Costs: The HM-ROB G2 operates entirely without human intervention beyond supplying wood and removing finished pallets. This translates to significant labor cost savings.

2- Faster Changeovers: Since jigs are no longer required, switching between pallet designs is a breeze. The system automatically adjusts to new dimensions, minimizing downtime.

3- Continuous Production: The HM-ROB G2 is designed for 24/7 operation, maximizing production output.

4- Improved Quality: The single-step process of holding and joining parts minimizes movement and ensures consistent, high-quality pallets.

Automatic Tool Changing for Seamless Operation

The HM-ROB G2 features robots equipped with automatic tool changers. This allows for continuous nailing while other tools are automatically reloaded, ensuring a smooth workflow.

 

The entire system is designed for ease of use and efficiency: the HM-ROB G2 represents the future of automated assembly, combining cutting-edge robotics with intelligent design to deliver unmatched performance and reliability in pallet production.

5 advantages of automated modular construction

As the demand for housing continues to rise, builders are turning to technology to revolutionize construction methods. Embracing innovative approaches, such as modular construction, offers numerous advantages for companies of all sizes.

By replacing manual labor with precision machining operations in the panel-making process, builders are experiencing a multitude of benefits. Notably, this shift enables:

  • Increased production of houses in less time,
  • Elevated quality standards,
  • Improved ergonomics for operators, enhancing both health and safety,
  • Customized prefab panels tailored to each house, utilizing automated patterns for various construction tasks,
  • Cost reduction across the board.

This advancement in construction technology not only boosts efficiency and effectiveness but also opens doors for smaller house building companies to operate on a larger or even industrial scale. As the industry evolves, embracing modular construction paves the way for a more streamlined, cost-effective, and sustainable future in housing development.
