Does your closet company struggle to keep up with demand? Are you spending too much time on repetitive tasks? We know every minute saved on repetitive tasks translates to increased productivity and a healthier bottom line. That's where Gannomat machinery comes in. Würth Baer Machinery, a leading supplier of woodworking equipment, understands the unique demands of closet companies and offers a range of Gannomat machines designed to optimize your workflow.
To understand how Gannomat can revolutionize your closet design and production, let's first break down the three distinct levels of closet companies:
- Fully Customizable: These companies cater to DIY enthusiasts and customers who prefer to design their own closets or haven't finalized their layout. Their production process involves drilling rows of shelf holes along the entire length of panels, giving customers maximum flexibility in arranging shelves and accessories. This approach requires a robust, accurate, and heavy-duty shelf hole drilling machine, like the Gannomat Pro-Line 50. "It is beefed up beyond anything that anybody else makes," asserts Zack Fawcett, Sales Manager at Wurth Baer Supply Company.
- Semi-Customizable: These companies strike a balance between customization and efficiency by pre-drilling a limited number of shelf hole sets, typically five. Customers still have some adjustability, but within a predetermined range. The Gannomat Vantage 76 or 152 is ideally suited for this level, boasting high-speed drilling capabilities. "It drills 152 holes in a board in 5 seconds," Fawcett reveals, making it a valuable asset for busy workshops.
- Super Customizable: Catering to the high-end market, these companies provide bespoke closet solutions. Involving detailed onsite consultations, they meticulously hand-build closets to meet the client's exact specifications, often incorporating specialized features and luxurious materials.
Würth Baer Machinery offers a Gannomat solution for each of the first two levels:
- Pro-Line 50: This workhorse is built for precision and durability, essential for fully customizable companies. Its heavy-duty construction ensures consistent accuracy, eliminating the dreaded "shelf wobble." "Because shelf holes have to be in the right place or else you get shelf wobble," emphasizes Fawcett.
- Vantage 76 / 152: This high-speed machine is a game-changer for semi-customizable companies. Its ability to drill 152 holes in a mere 5 seconds significantly boosts production speed, allowing you to handle larger orders without compromising quality.
- Pro-Tec CNC Machining Center: This versatile machine offers a space-saving and efficient solution for both fully and semi-customizable companies. Its CNC capabilities allow for precise part cutting and drilling of shelf and RTA holes, streamlining your workflow and maximizing shop floor utilization.
- Express S2 RTA: Tired of the tedious and error-prone process of inserting RTA connectors by hand? The Express S2 RTA is here to revolutionize your assembly process. This specialized machine inserts two connectors in just 5 seconds, surpassing even the fastest manual insertion. "We'll have closet companies that go, 'Well, I have a guy that slams them in with a hammer faster than your machine.' And it's it's it's preposterous," chuckles Fawcett. Beyond speed, the Express S2 RTA guarantees consistent, flush insertion, eliminating misaligned connectors and ensuring smooth assembly.
Investing in quality machinery is a strategic decision that will pay off over time. Fawcett aptly compares it to buying a well-built car: "If you buy a car, any car across the board, when you buy it brand new, it's gonna be awesome. You get in, it's got the new car smell, runs smoothly, blah blah blah blah blah. But if it's a cheap car, eventually it's gonna catch up with you, and it's gonna start breaking down earlier than a really nice, you know, well-built car." Gannomat machines are engineered for durability and reliability, minimizing downtime and ensuring consistent performance.
For high-volume production, the return on investment on a machine like the Express S2 RTA is undeniable. Fawcett advises, "But if you're doing 5,000 a month, and you're touching doors all the time, invest in it because you're gonna get your money back and then you're gonna make money on top of it."
Wurth Baer Machinery offers a range of Gannomat machines to meet the specific needs of your closet company, whether you're focused on fully customizable or semi-customizable production. Don't settle for subpar equipment that will hinder your growth. Invest in reliable, high-quality Gannomat machines and watch your efficiency, productivity, and profits soar.
