At the 4000 sq m Weinig Group stand, customers can expect to see a comprehensive range of products across all performance classes. You are sure to find a product that is tailored to your needs, whatever the size of your business. This is why our theme for this trade fair is “THINK WEINIG”. The solid wood processing area will present the product range from the planing and profiling, cutting and optimization, jointing technology and window & furniture production segments. W 4.0 digital, project business and alternative materials will all be under the spotlight. Using networked systems, Weinig will demonstrate its solution expertise across the entire value chain. Another first in Hannover will be the group’s joint presentation with the business unit Panel Processing.
New Standard W4.0 digital/software
In the field of networked production, Weinig has developed its own stan-dard with W4.0 digital, which will be presented for the first time in Ha-nover. The focus here is on efficient and resource-saving planning and production, as well as intelligent maintenance. We have a clear philoso-phy that guides us here: “Digitization for its own sake does not give you a competitive advantage. Our solutions always focus on providing added value to the customer,” explains Gregor Baumbusch, Director of Sales and Marketing. The Moulder Master combines all processes upstream of production. The Weinig Solid Woodwork Flow opens up the CNC system for use in many different work environments in window and furni-ture manufacturing. Parts tracking, machine monitoring and predictive maintenance are further topics that will be covered. Also in Hanover, we will be demonstrating the various possibilities offered by the Weinig Service App. For example, the integrated live window allows you to perform various actions on a smartphone, regardless of your location: identification of machine problems, initiation of service inquiries, and reduction of down times.
A new moulder expands the “Powermat World”
With the Powermat Series, Weinig has created a highly flexible modular system for planing and profiling. The “disguised prototype” of the suc-cessor to the Powermat 2400 will have its world premiere at LIGNA. The moulder is designed for industrial bead production at feed speeds up to 100 m/min and will be demonstrated in a mechanized process with charging and discharge. The 3D version can produce freely-programmable structured surfaces during throughfeed. A new feature is the facility to produce work pieces with conical or curved contours on the machine. For newcomers to the world of Weinig profiling, we have the Powermat 700 Compact. A window version is available in the same performance category for planing scantlings and profiling mouldings. On the next level, the Powermat 1500 is available in a wide range of va-riants covering various requirements and applications. Whether produc-ing different widths with a mobile spindle or small batch sizes on one and the same machine, the Powermat 1500 is a moulder for all occasions. The Powermat 2500 SP splitting unit equipped with kerf saws for separating lamellae, as used in central layer production for example, completes the Weinig Powermat world. Our product range is further complemented by the compact four-sider Cube Plus. The intuitive oper-ation makes planing simpler than ever and is ten times faster than using a jointer and thickness planer. The Cube Plus will also be part of one of the highlights of our stand at LIGNA: one of these machines will be up for grabs in a prize draw at the “Winner’s Point” at the Weinig stand.
