Finger jointing lines - Weinig

Finger jointing lines from GRECON:The fastest way to a high added valueThe finger jointing process approved to be the most stable methodof timber longitudinal joints. The one who needs this technology hasno other alternative than to take GRECON. We are experts and theworldwide market leader for more than 25 years. GRECON fingerjointing technology aims at highest precision. This means lowestdimensional allowances, timber losses and overheads with highesttechnical availability. Thus, residual timber preparation and revaluationby finger jointing become easy and profitable for you!

2 3All plants can be upgraded in modular design according toyour requirements. Thus, high flexibility is achieved either for standardisedor for customer-specific solutions. From the starter modelProfiJoint via the versions Ultra, CombiPact and Turbo-S to the highperformancecategory of the horizontal jointing lines HS120 andHS180. In short: GRECON system concepts live up to all performancecategories.GRECON finger jointing lines –and your residual timber becomesa valuable high-end product:• Finger joint profiles for all fieldsof application• Highest quality of jointing• Highest precision and stabilityof the finger joints• Use of single and two-componentglue• High operational performancesup to 180 pcs/min (21,75 miles/shift)• Shortest set-up times• Comfortable, easy usability• Simple, efficient production process• For different requirements:horizontal and vertical finger joints• Refitting possibilities for an optimisationof the performance as well as foran automation

Tool system and spindlesThe tool spindles are provided with anindirect belt drive and special bearingfor vibration-free power transfer.The tool spindles are adjusted preciselyin the range of 1/100 mm. All shortwood lines are equipped with scoringunits. Best finger quality is the result.

4 5Timber treatment becomes efficient with GRECON:Cutting, gluing, and pressing at full speedAll plants are characterised by a simple, efficient production process.Automatic quality features, as vibration stop, timber front controlwith following adjustment or transfer outwards, splinter protectionand scoring unit produce tear-free and closed finger joints. Bydifferent tools it is possible to process both soft- and hard wood onall plants. The glue application system “Flankenjet” developed byGRECON ensures a saving of glue up to 30% by an exact dosingpossibility. GRECON standard presses are appropriate for timber witha length between 6.100 mm (20 ft) and 12.200 mm (40 ft) anddispose of thrust forces between 100 kN (10 t) and 160 kN (16 t).

Finger joints with GRECON:Highest quality standard in all performance categoriesSophisticated technique and perfect overall concepts for packageand horizontal finger jointing lines. No matter whether glue woodplates for furniture construction and completion of interior, windowscantling, stair construction, flooring in solid wood, construction andglued laminated wood and other products shall be manufactured –the finger jointing plants from GRECON set benchmarks in precisionand quality.Furthermore, you will benefit from the increasing popularity ofimproved solid wood materials on all markets.Capacity (Press length 6.100mm 20 ft)100rm/min8060402073 m/min(240 ft/min)2 4 6 8 10 12 14Press cycles

GRECON finger jointing lines ProfiJoint:Large performance potential for startersThe newly developed starter modelProfiJoint can be extended up to theshaper combination by the modularsystem. Timber widths up to 150 mm (6’’),timber thicknesses up to 50 mm (2’’)and min. infeed lengths of 150 mm (6’’)can be processed without any problems.A casting reduces vibrations in the areain which a precise jointing is of importance.No matter whether joints shall bevertical or horizontal with scoring units;the product family of the ProfiJointmodel is provided with the same tooltechnology as the high performancecategories from GRECON.GRECON finger jointing line ProfiJoint combination:The highest extension level of the ProfiJointBy a combination of 2 shapers, performanceis doubled. The cutting process iscarried out completely automatically onboth sides. The 2-spindle system facilitatesthe production of special profiles.The ProfiJoint single cutter can beupgraded to a ProfiJoint combination atany time.

GRECON finger jointing lines HS 120 and HS 180:The unrivalled line in the high-performance rangeThe horizontal single timber shapersfrom GRECON are the quickest equipmentavailable on the world market. Upto 180 pcs per minute in continuousoperation and 12 pressing cycles per minuteturn this line to a production giant.High-performance components, as theautomatic feeding system, can be integratedin addition. Also cutting toolsystems with a diameter between228.6 mm and 266.7 mm (9 to 10.5”)may be operated.GRECON finger jointing line Turbo-S 1000:Package line for highest performance and demandsThe patented shaper combination ofthe Turbo-S 1000 satisfies all wishes ofperformance and quality. Two shapersconnected by intermediate belts workindependently from each other in theline. Top performance is achieved by theprevious alignment of the packages onthe intermediate belts. Quality standards,as package monitoring, splinterprotection, scoring unit, are available.Timber infeed lengths of 2 m (6.6 ft)and more can be realised.

Finger jointing lines with the glue application system FlankenJet:GRECON system with up to 30% glue savingThe glue application system FlankenJetdeveloped by GRECON provides for anexactly proportioned and specific applicationof the glue on the bottom of thejoints, even with critical profiles. Differentviscosities of the glue are processedsmoothly by the nozzle slide systemwith different borings. The glue film isdistributed on the entire surface of thejoints; drops do not exist anymore.FlankenJet can be cleaned quickly andeasily and saves up to 30 % of the gluecompared with conventional glueapplication systems.Finger jointing lines with package monitoring:Laser light barriers for a continuous cutting qualityWhen high-performance with fullautomaticlines is of importance, thesesystems monitor the alignment of thetimbers in the package during the processand restart alignment, if necessary.Thus, the joints are cut precisely and aproduct of high quality is generated.A counter-profile provides for a tear-freequality of the last timber in the package.This splinter protection can be adaptedindividually to the finger joint profile.

12 13Tools for any application:Optimised processing aggregates for exact finger jointingAn excellent tool standard with slittingsaws from the top and the bottom, huggersand finger cutters forms the basisfor the production of finger joint profiles.The slitting saws are synchronised,i.e. they cut into the wood and avoidtear-outs at the outlet. The indirect driveof the maintenance-free WEINIG toolspindles ensures high performancereserves and a vibration-free processingof short pieces. Only by this method thejoint quality can be generated preciselywithout splinters to the bottom of thejoints with an absolutetight junction ofwood.Finger jointing lines from a manualto a full-automatic modular designBy the modular design of a finger jointingline you can determine the degreeof automation yourself. No matterwhether you wish to operate a manual,semi-automatic or full-automatic line:Depending on the requirementsGRECON recommends the right degreeof automation.
