Efficient wood finishing via finger jointing is an area of optimization traditionally served by the Weinig Group. The range extends from the short-timber solution to the high-performance finger-jointing line in the long timber segment. The Turbo-S 1000 shaper combination will be on display in Hannover. The system achieves maximum wood recovery via automatic chip removal settings and the use of a Trimsaver and meets the highest performance demands with 15 press cycles per minute. The technical highlights of this patented shaper combination also include the system’s ability to automatically alter dimensions, and the tool wear indicator. Jobs can be managed and faults can be localized using a touch panel.
Measurement of glue volumes and the GlueEye vision (glue application monitoring) not only provides added value to the customer and reduces operating costs, this system also ensures perfect connection of the finger joints. The capabilities of the Turbo S-1000 will be demon-strated at LIGNA via a linked production line, which will also include the OptiCut 450 Quantum high-speed cross-cutting system.
Weinig subsidiary Grecon will also be represented on the stand with the ProfiShape T4Pdouble-end tenoner, which is specially designed for the formatting and flattening of frame components as well as profiling of a tongue and groove profile on MDF panels, providing great performance at 40 pieces per minute. The stand-out features of the machine include the ability to display and control the power consumption of the processing motors, as well as the electronic feed shaft. The ProfiShape can also be placed in lines with an automatic feed and removal of the workpieces. With scoring devices above and below, tear-free machining is ensured, even at high feed speeds. The double-end tenoner ensures high performance and low machining tolerances, as well as high availability and quality. Further products will be available for live demonstration at the nearby Grecon plant in Alfeld.
