commitments to quality engineering and outstanding
customer service; their approach combines "made
in Germany" technology with a "Made

with your equipment for as long as you use it.
An IMA machine for each phase of production
There are many different types of IMA machine,
but these can be broken down into three basic
classifications: throughfeed, stationary, and
transport and handling. Throughfeed machines
take a piece of material through several steps
in the production process. These steps can include
planing wood to a desired thickness, using an
automated bandsaw or router to cut shapes, and
other operations that are specific to the material
being produced (such as softforming).
A great example of a stationary IMA machine
is the BIMA 310 Concept, which uses CNC to rout,
bore, and edge band single pieces for production.
While stationary equipment does require more
operator intervention in placing and removing
material, it is a more cost effective solution
for smaller shops. Transport and handling equipment
like the P400 series are used to move materials
from one location to another, and can also be
used with CNC machines to gather and package
materials for shipping.
IMA robot controls
In addition to using the strongest and most
advanced materials in building their machinery,
IMA robot machinery uses some of the most sophisticated
CNC programming and hardware in the industry.
This ensures that your machinery will produce
accurate and exact work every time.
