Weinig at Ligna 2015: Technology offensive on a broad front.

The Weinig Group will underline its "Technology Offensive 2015" at LIGNA in Hall 12 with a range of innovations. At the center will be the introduction of new generations of technology. The core themes will be resource efficiency, flexibility and networked production. In addition to the major premieres, there will also be pioneering developments on shows in the product unit Profiling as well as in the window manufacturing, cutting/gluing and joint technology segments. Furthermore, Weinig will be demonstrating its expertise as a complete provider of machines and systems for solid wood processing. Weinig Concept, the engineering arm of the company, will be presenting system technology through to complex production lines. In the immediate vicinity of Weinig's solid wood processing stand, the business unit Panel Processing will be exhibiting its range in Hall 11. Holz-Her will be in Hanover with innovations in edge banding, CNC processing centers and panel cutting.

Premiere for the new Powermat series
In the Powermat 700 and Powermat 1200, Weinig will be revealing the new Powermat generation to the global audience in Hanover for the first time. The outstanding feature of the moulder is the innovative "Comfort Set" operating concept, which enables largely tool-free setting and significantly reduces set-up times. Further benefits of the four-sider include high operating safety and very good accessibility. It also impresses with its high energy efficiency, which is primarily attributable to the optimization of the extraction system. Particular progress has been made with the optimized flying of chips. The chips are better removed, reducing the risk of chip impact against the wood and tool. The "Smart-Touch" function makes the new Powermat a trendsetter in man-machine interaction in wood processing. Wireless communication, for example, is possible between controls or tablet and the machine. This way, information on set-up is displayed to the operator where he needs it. Smart Touch will be demonstrated at LIGNA on the Powermat 1200 model.
