Reichenbacher Hamuel will focus primarily on automation at LIGNA. The machine manufacturer will demonstrate how this can be advanced in woodworking and especially in timber construction with individualised machine concepts. With a view to efficient automated production, the VISION-III machining centre with automatic carrier table will be presented, which is loaded by a KUKA robot.
Intelligent concepts will be on the agenda, regardless of whether they are for the production of walls, ceilings, roof trusses, stairs or doors. The live demonstrations at Ligna will show step machining, where a robot picks up blanks from a stack of blanks and automatically loads the machine. After a step cut and various saw cuts, milling and drilling will take place and at the end the robot will automatically stack the finished steps.
There are many levels of automation. The goal must be for companies to increase their efficiency on existing production space and make themselves less dependent on the skilled labour market. Individual solutions are in demand, because there are users who are active in purely regional construction projects and need different concepts than industrial companies that go into high-rise construction or that concentrate on the production of special components. The market has set in motion a development in which, for example, companies are gearing their production to manufacture large and heavy panels not only for their own building projects, but also to make them available to other market participants.
At LIGNA, Reichenbacher will be taking up another innovative topic with additive manufacturing. In order to bring this closer to the trade visitors, 3D printing of wooden components will be presented by means of informative videos and the quality of such components will be illustrated by means of printed exhibits.
