LIGNA Logo

The Weinig Group will underline its "Technology Offensive 2015" at LIGNA in Hall 12 with a range of innovations. At the center will be the introduction of new generations of technology. The core themes will be resource efficiency, flexibility and networked production. 

Premiere for the new Powermat series

In the Powermat 700 and Powermat 1200, Weinig will be revealing the new Powermat generation to the global audience in Hanover for the first time. The outstanding feature of the moulder is the innovative "Comfort Set" operating concept, which enables largely tool-free setting and significantly reduces set-up times. 

New: Networked production with System Plus

The new Weinig System Plus connects all processes involved in preparing the moulder for production. The integrated system is comprised of the Moulder Master Software, the new Rondamat 1000 tool grinder, tool measurement with OptiControl Digital and PowerCom machine controls. 

New: Rondamat 985 tool grinder

In the Rondamat 985, Weinig will be exhibiting a new grinder in Hanover for straight knives with max. 720 mm tool length. The Rondamat has a grinding unit with fully-automatic controls and integrated radius measurement of the knives. It is ideal for precise grinding of drilling tools, knife shafts and hydraulic tools. The latter particularly enables the precision of the Rondamat 985 to extend the intervals between tool changes via jointing.

New processing units and tool clamping systems for the Conturex CNC window center

For as long as there have been wooden windows, the corners and connections of the horizontal and vertical transoms, mullions and glazing bars have been the most sensitive areas. The quality of these connections stands and falls on the gluing and the precision of the transversal and longitudinal processing. Besides the conventional methods, such as mortise-tenon and dowel connections, the new, highly robust round tenon corner joints are increasingly establishing themselves in the windows and doors market. The initial results show a material improvement in terms of the bending and breaking strength of these connections. Manufacturing these corner joints is almost exclusively restricted to CNC centers. The concept of the Weinig Conturex with its open and flexible configuration is precisely tailored to round tenon production. Using new processing units and tool clamping systems, the Conturex achieves optimal precision and productivity. Even producing a mix of different connections is not a problem.

New generation of the UniPin gluing and dowel inserting machine

With the new user interface and performance-enhancing process optimization, Weinig is entering the next generation of the UniPin gluing and dowel inserting machine. Whether online in contact with the Conturex or as an individual machine, the new and improved Weinig UniPin is an indispensable CNC system.  The new generation is equipped with new, rapid controls and optional double part processing. In addition, a significantly improved user interface has been developed.

New: "Block gluing" production concept

The Weinig Concept business unit specializes in project planning of complete production lines. A current project will be presented at LIGNA as an example. Visitors to the Weinig stand will be able to learn everything about the project from planning to installation of the system. The system solution comprises an innovative production process for central layers. Weinig has patents and patents pending on the "block gluing with butt joints" process. With this process, Weinig is setting standards in efficient use of resources.

The high flexibility of the system also opens up a range of other products, starting from the glued block, including top layers, shafts for timber construction, CLT profile lamellae and even door frame blanks. The centerpiece of the system, the ProfiPress C, presses the glued butt-jointed strand without height offset and with perfect alignment in length. The ProfiPress C is designed for special application as a cold press and, thus, requires no energy for glue hardening. With excellent pressing force distribution, the required adhesive volume can be reduced to a minimum.

New: ProfiPress L II gluing press

The new Weinig ProfiPress L II is primarily aimed at ambitious workshop businesses and is designed for one-man panel production. The degree of automation of a machine is the basis of personnel efficiency. Both the positioning of the glued lamellae and transfer of the lamellae from the gluing station to the infeed belt or infeed chain are automatic. The pressure cylinders are also selected automatically. The ProfiPress L II proves its worth in high-capacity layer formation and impresses with the perfect calculation and positioning of the track, which is also guaranteed with multi-track operation.

Cutting solutions: intensive upgrade

The extensive Dimter Line range of cross-cut saws from Weinig has been enhanced with a range of improvements and extensions in time for LIGNA. The OptiCut 200 Elite, which will be on the stand in Hanover as an Inline scanner solution with EasyScan, will enjoy a product re-launch. The options for workpiece recognition have also been extended for models from the OptiCut S 50, OptiCut S 90 and OptiCut 450 FJ+ series. The range now extends from simple recognition of workpieces to application of high-definition graphic logos even at high feed speeds in the outfeed of an OptiCut 450 Quantum or FJ+. Also at LIGNA, a system solution will be exhibited for the first time that builds upon the OptiCut S 90 Speed. This cross-cutting system for pure defect removal achieves performance that can otherwise only be achieved by throughfeed saws while also impressing with its high length accuracy.

New: ProfiRip 340 multi-blade buzz saw

The completely newly developed machine offers up to 3-fold blade adjustment and is designed for a high level of productivity. The TimberMax software ensures particularly high wood recovery. The quality optimization in 2D taken into consideration the required part lengths during separating. Minimal set-up times and high user-friendliness are among the other attributes of the ProfiRip 340. This includes the Quickfix quick clamping system, which allows the fixed saw blades to be clamped without tools. The exemplary safety standard of the saw is assisted by the SafetyPlus concept and the new "Chain Protect" to protect against inadvertent "sawing into the chain".

Optimal value creation: ProfiRip 450 Speed with CombiScan

Profit maximization and quality start with cutting optimization. At LIGNA, Weinig will be demonstrating its expertise in this process with a high-end system consisting of a ProfiRip 450 Speed separating saw and a Weinig CombiScan scanner. The ProfiRip 450 Speed with roller feed is designed for speeds up to 160 m/min. It has 4-fold blade adjustment and a saw shaft with outboard bearing. Pneumatic clamping ensures tool-free operation.

New: GlueEye glue detection system

The new GlueEye glue detection system offers visual inspection of glue application for HS systems. The current glue application is compared for coverage with a prepared master image using color cameras. Lamellae with defective gluing are indicated on the touch panel and rejected based upon defined tolerances. The finger-jointing line stops after a pre-selected number of successive defective gluings. GlueEye can also improve quality since knot holes, broken pieces of wood, under-sized or over-sized pieces of wood and broken finger joints can be at least partially detected and discharged. A GlueEye for package lines is in development.
