Välinge Innovation announced today a further strengthening of their collaboration with machine supplier Homag China — signing a cooperation agreement that allows Välinge to offer its licensees in China next-level access and support to the latest generation of automated inserters for both the “5G” Fold Down locking system and “Threespine” click furniture technology.

“We want our licensees to have the best experience possible and this agreement will mean even more advantages to our partners in China,” says Magnus Holgesson, Regional Manager for China & Asia, Välinge Innovation. “Now installation, commissioning, after-market support offering corrective and preventative maintenance and access to spare parts will all be available locally — it’s a whole new level of convenience and care.”

The addition of the automated inserter in a “5G” or “Threespine” production line brings with it several benefits over manual insertion. Productivity and quality control are increased as the floorboards or furniture panels are only handled once in the process — freeing resources and factory floor space and ensuring a consistent, quality insertion from a machine that is both easy to use and service.
