Through continuous innovation and the targeted expansion of production possibilities, WEINIG ensures that its customers are always one step ahead and achieve maximum productivity in production.
WEINIG sets benchmarks in automation at LIGNA 2025
The self-setting Powermat 3000 enables economical production thanks to fully automatic profile change - even with small batch sizes. The machine reduces set-up times and ensures consistently high quality regardless of the operator.
The WLP 200 vacuum portal increases productivity through fully automated workpiece handling. The precise control system ensures optimum machine connection, reduces sources of error and increases process reliability.
The HS 200 with delta robot loading is WEINIG's first integrated complete solution of this kind and reduces personnel costs thanks to a precise pick & place application. Unsorted incoming material is gently aligned with vacuum grippers and fed to the finger jointing line – ideal for fine and sensitive wood. The delta robot ensures consistent production output across all shifts. In addition, part orientation optimizes the spinfeed infeed through automatic quality sorting, e.g. to efficiently process waney edge material. Parts are sorted based on surface characteristics, aligned or ejected if the quality criteria are not met – a profitable solution in times of rising personnel costs and a shortage of skilled workers.
The portfolio is complemented by the OptiCut S 90 Superdrill, an innovative cross-cut system with an integrated drilling unit. It enables snipping, routing and drilling in a single operation and combines high flexibility with maximum precision. The automatic tool change function increases the processing speed and saves valuable time in production.
This sets new standards in automation and increased efficiency.
WEINIG System Solutions: System solutions and production concepts for the wood processing industry
As a provider of one of the most complete portfolios in the engineered wood sector, WEINIG is setting a new standard in woodworking. At LIGNA 2025, visitors will experience a 3D-animated CLT production line up close on a large LED wall - including a virtual factory tour. Individual projects can also be analyzed and planned together with the WEINIG System Solutions team at interactive screen stations. The Essetre Multiwall surface processing machine with 6-axis processing unit shows new possibilities in production – visitors can look forward to sophisticated solutions for CLT and timber frame construction for the next level in timber house construction.
WoodSave solutions – maximum profit, minimum costs
WEINIG is once again revolutionizing the woodworking industry with the expanded WoodSave system. WoodSave is known for maximum profit with minimum chipping in surface planing and is now being extended to include conical lamella planing. Especially in CLT production, this innovation enables even more efficient material utilization - more usable wood and less waste.
H.I.T. and Essetre as part of the WEINIG Group
As part of the WEINIG Group, the two companies H.I.T. and Essetre will be exhibiting in Hall 25, Stand N25 (H.I.T.) and in Hall 13, Stand C28 (Essetre).
H.I.T. creates customer-oriented solutions for sawmills, planing and glulam plants, prefabricated house construction and the production of solid wood panel elements and glulam for the construction industry – precisely tailored to every special requirement and to almost every conceivable hall layout.
At the booth of the Italian manufacturer Essetre, everything revolves around joinery and surface processing machines for timber construction.
