Weinig Group to display tomorrow’s world of production at Holz-Handwerk

 Tuesday, March 20, 2018

WEINIG_lThe Weinig Group exhibition program in Nuremberg is entirely centered around optimal customer benefits. Under the slogan “Think Weinig”, the market leader in machines and systems for solid wood and panel processing will be demonstrating a total of 30 exhibits live, all of which have been specifically designed to secure competitive advantages for business of all sizes.

 

Weinig is setting standards in the world of networked production. At Holz-Handwerk, Weinig will display the current state of developments. The technical basis is Weinig’s in-house standard W4.0 digital, which will be expanded and gradually rolled out across the entire product range. Now, our membership of MindSphere World adds a further dimension. The user organization is a melting pot of synergies that will optimally benefit Weinig customers. As a Weinig partner, you will be able to access the benefits of the powerful cloud-based Siemens platform MindSphere going forward. MindSphere will be a worldwide technology partner when it comes to live data from the machine. Dr. Mario Kordt, Weinig’s representative on the MindSphere World advisory board: “With the combination of W4.0 digital and MindSphere, the customer is “backing the right horse”. The MindSphere technology makes customers’ production more future-proof, even if they have not currently advanced very far in the digitization process.”

 

New entry-level moulder

In the Product Unit Planing and Profiling, the new Unimat 217 will celebrate its world premiere. The compact craftsman’s machine for four-sided solid wood processing is considerably more user-friendly than comparable machines in its performance category and offers significantly greater added value than its predecessors. This is particularly due to a number of features being adopted from the next largest Powermat series.

 

The Powermat 700 from this performance category, the world’s highest selling Weinig profiling machine, will also be exhibited in Nuremberg. Stand visitors will have the opportunity to see demonstrations of a six-spindle version for various profiling work as well as a machine especially equipped for window manufacturing requirements. For larger requirements in terms of performance and flexibility, Weinig offers the Powermat 1500. The solution is aimed at semi-industrial production requirements. An automated Powermat 1500, equipped with the SmartTouch digital set-up aid and connected to the Weinig System Plus work preparation, will also be on display at Holz-Handwerk.  This highly-efficient solution covers fully-automated tool grinding, tool measurement and virtual set-up of the moulder. And, of course, we could not go to Nuremberg without the successful Cube Plus. The easiest four-sided planing machine to operate on the market offers automatic positioning via touchscreen display and completes planing work 10 times faster than a straightener and planer.
 
Fascinating Weinig world of windows

Weinig will underline its outstanding expertise in Nuremberg with exhibits from the entry-level segment to the Smart Factory. The Conturex Compact on the stand will include the new WMC (Weinig machine control), which celebrates its premiere. In the particularly user-friendly user interface designed for group-wide use, Weinig is setting standards in the lowest performance category in terms of handling and production safety. The virtual tour in Weinig Solid WF promises to be a particular highlight in the high-performance segment. Stand visitors will have the opportunity to look inside a Conturex system with the highest level of equipment using 3D glasses. Cutting-edge technology, integrated production and networking in the Weinig W 4.0 digital standard will come together to provide a spectacular experience. The individual visual experience will be broadcast live to spectators outside of the black box. Demonstrations of the Weinig Service App are sure to attract great interest. In the new version, Weinig is taking monitoring to the next level.
 
Improved cutting efficiency for small operations

When it comes to cutting, Weinig’s expertise ranges from the floor-mounted saw and high-speed cross-cut saws to scanner systems and rip saws. The stand in Nuremberg will feature a cross-section of the current portfolio. Highlights include the OptiCut S 260 throughfeed cross-cut saw with a feed speed of up to 250 m/min and camera-based detection of three qualities. The OptiPal + OptiResultsoftware package is particularly attractive to small businesses. Demonstrations will show how the tool makes cutting more efficient from single-item batches upwards. The software offers a range of functions from product and parts list management, order entry and cutting list creation, pre-optimization of cutting lists for optimal yield and creation of picking lists to screen-supported machine operation and parts identification after cutting. Another exhibit in Nuremberg will be the EasyStop automatic positioning system for the OptiCut C series as an optimal entry to automating manual processes for smaller operations. The system can also be integrated into existing cross-cut saws. A new addition to BKS band resaws is SplitAssist laser width measurement. An optimized surface facilitates operation. The proven FlexiRip 3200 now has cutting height recognition, ensuring that the material is always ripped optimally with an allowance.

 

New gluing press with simple handling

Weinig will present a further innovation in Nuremberg in the area of gluing. The ProfiPress L B combines all of Weinig’s know-how in high-frequency gluing and press technology in a single machine and significantly simplifies the production of window scantlings, beams and panels. Particularly high forces exerted from the side and above ensure perfectly sealed glued joints.
