HOMAG SORB TECH

Brand name for a mineral casting, jointly developed by the companies HOMAG and WEEKE, which contains steel fibers for reinforcement and has very good vibration-damping properties. According to manufacturer information, the vibration-damping capacity is 80 percent higher than that of steel castings. The high density and, compared to previous mineral structures, the almost pore- and micro-crack-free structure of the mineral casting are crucial to the extremely high vibration damping and compressive strength.

Since 2009, SORB TECH is used instead of steel in the machine frames of the series BMG of HOMAG/WEEKE stationary machines.

Since 2010, SORB TECH is also used for machine tables of the series WEEKE Vantage, in the heavy series of HOLZMA beamsaws series 5 and in the heavy sanding machines from BÜTFERING SWT 900.

In 2011, HOMAG announced the use of Sorbtech in other machine series.

Technology

SORB TECH consists of hard rocks of different grain sizes, which can be combined to a compound, suiting the individual and specific needs, with binders (e.g. epoxy resin) and special additives. In contrast to the previous material S/C-Tech, no reinforcements are used in SORB TECH. These are replaced by steel fibers in the mineral mixture. With the mineral casting technology, components with accuracies of a few tenths of a millimeter in size, form and position can be produced. In air-conditioned refining halls, even guide systems with a precision of a few thousandth of a millimeter can be poured.
