CONTENTS EDITORIAL
What's new?
Eric Schäfer
Editor
This is probably one of the most frequently
asked questions. After all, what would man be
without curiosity? It drives human development;
it is one of the most important characteristics of
humans. Without the constant search for something
new, mankind cannot move forward. They
need and have needed new knowledge, for example,
to be able to feed themselves, to build
a house and much more ... in order to eventually
fly to Mars. To fill the "news gap", we are
constantly on the lookout for news. Every smartphone
user knows this. But we have to be careful
not to be overwhelmed by the flood of information
and news.
It's good that there's a trade magazine like
WiN that filters and structures what's important
for readers. And thus satisfies curiosity without
overloading with information. This issue of WiN
is packed with news about LIGNA. From new machines
and tools for woodworking and wood processing
to new extraction and painting systems
to solutions for software, safety and recycling.
In short, everything needed for resource-efficient
and flexible production. Including digitalization,
robotics and automation.
In addition, with LIGNA we are taking another
look at "prefabrication processes in timber
construction". Here, the increasing importance
of timber construction also results in
new requirements for technology and plants.
This is a topic to which the tool manufacturer
Leitz recently devoted a very interesting symposium
entitled "Modern timber construction -
breaking new ground and overcoming limits".
The symposium focused on wood as the building
material of the future and the machining
systems and tools required for this. News about
this can already be found at LIGNA - and in WiN.
Sincerely,
Eric Schäfer

The perfect combination of flexibility, high performance
and cost efficiency
The Weinig Group, with its two brands Weinig and Holz-Her, will be presenting groundbreaking solutions for these focus topics at
LIGNA 2023. True to its motto “Weinig offers more”, the company invites visitors to experience an all-round view of its extensive range of
machines, systems, software and services – for the production of single workpieces through to automated series production of solid wood
and panel products. The innovations and developments are focused on resource optimization, ranging from individual technology solutions
for machines to innovative, full-fledged production systems. Stand-alone or networked machines with efficient material handling,
precise automation and resource-saving production technologies enable customers to economically manufacture products of the highest
quality and in flexible batch sizes despite the shortage in skilled labor.
Save time and material with AI
The CombiScan Sense scanner scans up to
80 boards per minute to detect cracks, knots,
etc. To check the quality of the wood, the scanner
uses artificial intelligence, making detection
more accurate, reliable and repeatable. The
scanner enables line automation and thus a reduction
of the required manpower. It saves between
3 and 10 % material, depending on the
application.
Planing and profiling
The new Hydromat – robust, flexible,
intuitive and with record speed
With a feed speed of 400 m/min and WMC
machine control, the new Hydromat high-speed
moulder brings innovative dynamics to planing
and profiling processes. Customers in the wood
industry, such as sawmills that process sawn
timber, benefit from this robust, highly durable,
high performance machine. On the one hand,
the machine offers features such as the innovative
wood saving system to optimize chip removal
and save material during pre-planing.
On the other hand, the machine can be flexibly
equipped for the production of profiled goods.
Hydromat 3000: Robust, wear-resistant,
powerful and fast
With a feed speed of up to 100 m/min and
its user-friendliness, the Hydromat 3000 scores
in the further processing of sawn timber, e.g.
into tongue-and-groove boards, decking boards
and mouldings. CNC-controlled adjustment
does not require manual intervention, which
means that even less qualified employees can
operate the machine. The central dashboard of
the control system is customizable and can be
operated intuitively.
The Weinig trade fair highlight:
Large-scale systems and innovations in
wood processing
Systems engineering is increasingly becoming
the focus of Weinig.
The highlights at LIGNA are:
• an optimizing cross-cut line with an OptiCut
450 Quantum cross-cut saw, connected to a
finger jointing line and robot stacking
• a ProfiPress C 2500 HF gluing press for the
production of wooden panels
Large-scale system: Scanning,
cross-cutting, finger jointing
This fully automated system shows the production
process from raw material to fingerjointed
lamellas: A robot with a vacuum unit
stacks raw material onto the line. The workpieces
are evaluated by means of a CombiScan
Sense scanner. Defects are cut out by the highspeed
OptiCut 450 Quantum cross-cut saw and
the good parts are automatically fed to the
downstream HS 200 finger jointing line for further
processing.
The mechanization for direct feeding of the
finger jointing line via the cross-cut saw is patent
pending.
The wood is cut to the required length using
the OptiCut 450 Quantum high-speed cross-cut
saw. The VarioStroke sawing unit of the OptiCut
450 Quantum can be flexibly adjusted to eight
different cutting positions, enabling very short
cutting times for all cross-sections within the
maximum cutting range. Also, the perfected
saw blade bearing and the unique saw blade
guidance improve the cutting quality, even at
high cut ting frequencies: Thanks to its dynamic
infeed unit and feed rollers that are individually
controlled from above, the workpieces are always
safely guided. Then the finger jointing line
is loaded fully automatically.
The Non Plus Ultra for the industrial
production of solid wood panels
For customers who need to produce solid
wood panels cost-efficiently at high output, the
ProfiPress C 2500 HF, one of the fastest gluing
presses in the world, can be seen in live operation
at the exhibition. Up to 100 lamellas per
minute are glued at the edge, collected and continuously
pushed into the press. The super-efficient
high-frequency heating system ensures
fast curing of the glue joints without heating
the wood. The result is tension-free, edge-glued
solid wood panels with the highest joint and
surface quality. The possibility of endless gluing
in combination with a cross-cut saw after the
press, for cutting the glued panel to required
width, ensures optimum wood utilization.

Focus on automation
For Reichenbacher Hamuel, the focus at
LIGNA is on automation, and the machine
manufacturer is demonstrating 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.

Process and manufacturing expertise for complete plants
in the field of engineered wood
When designing new production plants in the field of engineered wood, the interlinking and interfacing of individual supply components
often increase the planning effort and implementation time. They also entail unforeseen risks during the project. That is why there is a
growing demand in the wood-based materials industry for a contact partner with overall competence. This is exactly what Hymmen, the
machine and plant engineering company from Bielefeld with more than 130 years of company history, offers its business partners.
For decades Hymmen has proven its professional
handling of entire production processes.
These include small production lines with only
10 – 20 meters as well as huge plants with production
lines of overall 200 – 400 meters length.
This process know-how is complemented by the
proven in-house production of individual machines
used in the production of engineered
wood, as well as the control technology covering
the entire plant. This includes
• Roller application machines for glue or
adhesive
• Glue nozzles
• Individually adapted transport and conveying
equipment (turners, modular belts, roller, belt
and chain conveyors, etc.)
• Single opening and multi-daylight presses
(heated and unheated)
• Portal and robot handling
• Fully automated and interlinked control
technology
The combination of process expertise with
the manufacturing know-how of individual
components at Hymmen has already led to individual
plant projects in the field of engineered
wood in the past. In the process, Hymmen has
repeatedly been able to contribute its enormous
innovative strength and experience with continuous,
24/7 production lines.
Hymmen plant components to produce engineered wood
“The positive feedback from our customers
and the market’s demand for significantly higher
automation and efficiency has now prompted
us to expand our commitment in this market
area,” explains Dr. René Pankoke, Managing
Partner of Hymmen.
This includes all manufacturing processes
involving gluing, impregnation, coating and
pressing. Examples are the production of cross
laminated timber, veneer plywood, glued laminated
timber and blockboard. But also special
applications in which panels for vehicle and
caravan construction are made from multi-layer
structures, as well as sandwich and honey-
comb panels, are among the products for which
a high level of creativity and innovation is required
time and again. “It is always fascinating
to see how a shared vision of a complete new
plant, in many technical discussions with the
customer, finally turns into several hundred meters
of functioning production line,” points out
Pankoke.
There will be an opportunity at LIGNA to
discuss more details on projects that have already
been successfully implemented and the
possibility of new project planning.
Another focus at the booth is equally relevant
to all Hymmen-owned as well as external
machinery and equipment. “This is the smart2i
Industry Intelligence solution, for cloud-based
monitoring and analysis of all relevant process
parameters to optimize the entire production,”
summarizes Dr. René Pankoke, owner and CEO
of Hymmen. People will be able to experience
the live application of smart2i in real time at the
booth. This is done via virtual access to real production
data.

“Better solutions for wood coating“
At LIGNA J. Wagner GmbH will present innovative liquid coating solutions for craftsmen’s workshops, furniture and flooring manufacturers,
paint producers and other companies in the woodworking industry. These solutions not only serve a wide range of applications from
manual to automatic, but also contribute to more sustainable coating with their economical use of materials.
At the booth, visitors will be able to experience
manual airspray and AirCoat guns, such
as the TOPFINISH GM 1030, which produces
an extremely precise spray pattern with little
overspray – there are versions with paint connection
or flow cup for small-area applications.
The guns are also available as part of predefined
spraypacks: an ideal combination together
with the right feeding technology. The
Cobra 40 – 10, for example, is unique on the market
as a high-pressure double diaphragm pump:
it is very powerful and, thanks to its particularly
small internal volume, requires significantly less
solvent during flushing than comparable piston
pumps. The 2K Smart will be exhibited as mixing
and dosing system.
On the other hand, solutions for highly efficient,
automated coating processes will also be
presented. For exemplary practical demonstration,
various automatic guns will be mounted alternately
on a cobot – a collaborative robot that
is also suitable for users without many years of
robot experience. The GA 1030 and GA 4000AC
automatic guns offer a high degree of flexibility
with their different mounting options.
In addition, WAGNER will also be showing
products from the bonding and marking
sector of its subsidiary WALTHER Spritz- &
Lackiersysteme GmbH: Among others, airspray
guns for adhesive application, such as the PILOT
GM 1030P ADH or the automatic PILOT GA 9010
Marking for edge-to-edge dot and line marking.

World premiere at LIGNA
The Fibonacci principle
Users can benefit in a wide variety of ways from the tool innovations at LIGNA 2023. For example, for the first time at LIGNA, LEUCO will
present the woodworking and processing industry with a completely new, patent-pending concept for arranging cutting edges on basic
tool bodies. Another novelty at the show will be the regeneration of fixed slide milling cutters. The advantages of the various innovations
are wide-ranging, be it reduced power consumption, longer tool life, better edge qualities or saving resources, etc.
New tool concept based on the Fibonacci
principle
The engineers at LEUCO were inspired by nature
and successfully transferred the Fibonacci
principle to the tool world for the arrangement
and distribution of the cutting edges on the basic
body. The Fibonacci principle can often be
found in nature when it comes to the optimum
utilization of limited space. Well-known examples
are the seeds of a sunflower or a pine cone,
whose number is maximally and optimally distributed
on the available space. Arrangement
of the blades according to the Fibonacci principle
is patent pending by LEUCO. This approach
from bionics enriches and expands LEUCO’s
portfolio and is used where it achieves performance
improvements.
At LIGNA, LEUCO will present the distribution
of cutting edges on the basic body according
to the Fibonacci principle using several tool
types.
Throughfeed machining: Jointing cutters
with the Fibonacci principle
The “LEUCO SmartJointer airFace” and
“LEUCO p-System” jointing cutters are established
and proven greats in the industry. At
LIGNA, LEUCO will show two market-relevant
D 125 mm dimensions with LEUCO’s patentpending
ideal cutting edge arrangement based
on the Fibonacci principle.
The SmartJointer airFace jointing cutter
is characterized in particular by its diamondtipped
cutting blades, which can be changed
by the customer on site, and its constant diameter
after they have been changed. In the
SmartJointer airFace, the innovative cutting
edge arrangement produces a particularly fine
cutting pattern of the narrow face, even with
changing board thicknesses.
The LEUCO p-System with its unique 70°
shear angle stands for excellent joining quality
with very long tool life. With the p-system, practical
applications have shown measurably longer
tool life. The LEUCO tool experts advise on
suitable applications for jointing cutters with
cutting edge arrangement according to the
Fibonacci principle.
Machining on CNC
Nesting with end mill Z4+4 according to
Fibonacci principle
The combination of high feed rate and very
slim tool diameter can be put into practice with
the new Z4+4 nesting cutter with diameter
12 mm. The cutter with cutting length 23 is ideally
used for raw or coated chipboard. As application
parameters, for example, a feed rate vf of
17 – 22 m/min at a speed of 18,000 rpm or even
a feed rate of 22 – 29 m/min at a speed of 24,000
rpm are possible. With these data, this nesting
cutter is one of the high-performers in the industry.
The diamond- tipped cutter can be resharpened
several times. Z4+4 on the slim diameter of
12 mm enables the Fibonacci principle. LEUCO
has applied for a patent for this type of cutting
edge arrangement on the basic body.
Solid wood machining: Disc tine cutters
based on the Fibonacci principle and
easyFix drilling
Disc finger jointing cutters have been state
of the art on finger jointing lines for many years.
Innovative, user-friendly and energy- saving is
the design of the new disc tine cutter according
to the Fibonacci principle. Transferring the
Fibonacci principle to the cutting edge arrangement
on tools is patent pending by LEUCO. For
users, disc tine cutters with this principle mean,
among other things, a reduction in power consumption
of about 20 percent. The new disc
tines are also designed with LEUCO’s patented
easyFix bore. This prevents jamming when pushing
the discs onto or removing them from the
spindle.
Digitization = serialization = digital twin
Re-serialization means profiting more
quickly from the benefits of the digital
twin
The digital twin brings several advantages
to the production of a woodworking company.
It contains data describing the tool and its properties,
it provides information on the current location
of the tool, and it makes it possible to record
the tool’s usage data. With such data, it is
possible to see in retrospect what performance
a tool has delivered and to make accurate forecasts
for future tool requirements. The basis for
the digital twin is either digital data provided by
the tool manufacturer with the new tool, or the
company serializes its inventory at a later date.
The more extensive the data pool, the faster
companies benefit from the advantages of the
digital twin. LEUCO supports the push into digital
processes and will show a multi-stage model
for the post-serialization of inventory tools at
LIGNA.

Early detection of explosions
With the GSME and HOTSPOT detectors from REMBE, an artificial intelligence has been created that detects explosion events at an early
stage. The GSME detector is an artificial nose, “trained” for pyrolysis – popularly known as smoldering gases, while the HOTSPOT detector
represents an artificial eye that already detects surface temperature changes of 1 °C.
REMBE´s HOTSPOT X20 measures surface
temperatures using an intelligent evaluation
system, which divides the field of
view into detection zones. A separate temperature
threshold value can be set for each
individual zone in order to tailor the detection
to the process as far as possible.
The HOTSPOT X20 can even identify small
temperature increases (1 °C) and enables to
warn the operator of glowing embers at extremely
early stages. The HOTSPOT X20 can also
be used in explosion atmosphere up to zone
20 and under high dust loads and monitors a
temperature range in the standard version of
0 – 200 °C (higher temperatures possible, but
typically not required).
Mainly hydrocarbon compounds are released
when many substances thermally decompose.
If there is incomplete burning without
a flame and a low oxygen supply, carbon
monoxide is created as well. The GSME X20
pyrolysis gas detector, for instance, has been
designed for detecting these gases, even as
they develop. Alongside carbon monoxide
and hydrocarbon compounds, nitrogen
oxide and hydrogen compounds (CO, HC, H2
and NOx) are also monitored. With the aid of
an intelligent evaluation algorithm, a process
behaviour can be ideally mapped and normal
off-gasing be adopted. If a concentration increases
above the usual level, the GSME X20
immediately triggers an alarm. The detector,
is also suitable for explosion atmospheres up
to zone 20, monitors concentration ranges
from 0 – 100 ppm.
When the location and mounting position
are ideally designed in an explosion protection
concept, HOTSPOT X20 and GSME X20
allow explosions to be prevented through
early detection.

will be showing service concepts, industry focal points and trends from the furniture industry, structural timber engineering and advanced
materials at its exhibition stand under the motto “Solutions in new dimensions”. The focus here is on the claim to further increase customer
success.
“Finding the optimally adapted solution
for every requirement” – that is the daily incentive
of the world market leader. Leitz sees
itself as a solution provider whose products
primarily support the increase in flexibility, efficiency
and productivity of its customers in
the relevant processes. With a total package
of innovative tool technology, consulting, the
constant exchange of information with all current
machine and material manufacturers, as
well as its fully comprehensive range of services,
Leitz is the reliable partner for the wood and
plastics processing industries all over the

extremely high durability with great fl exibility and is one of
the Leitz product highlights in Hanover. (Photo: Leitz)
est demands from consumers. Materials, surfaces
and functionality, as well as different production
philosophies, mean that the flow of daily
challenges in manufacturing companies never
stops.
Leitz’s uniquely broad solution expertise
ranges from panel sizing and trimming to edge
finishing or drilling. Depending on the technical
design of the process, whether using CNC
machines or throughfeed machines, Leitz offers
a tooling solution for every conceivable challenge.
Leitz will be presenting a special highlight
in Hanover with its new, innovative jointing
concepts. They stand for maximum tool life,
high process reliability and perfect machining
quality – among other things with the help of
the width-adjustable Diamaster EdgeExpert
jointing cutter, which proves its durability every
day. These are features that visitors to the
LIGNA trade fair will be able to see for themselves
in discussions with Leitz specialists.
Focus on LeitzXPert –
knowledge for your pocket
Whether it’s the machine operator, the
work preparation department or the foreman –
in the individual processes in woodworking
and plastics processing, questions about the
tools used can arise again and again. In addition
to the Leitz specialists, the LeitzXPert online
application will also provide answers in future.
It contains tool expertise and information
on almost all of the company’s standard products.
Accessible free of charge, the data are provided
either via the LeitzXPert app or online
via a browser-based Leitz knowledge platform.
LeitzXPert was already presented as a study at
LIGNA in 2019. In the meantime, the application
has completely outgrown its infancy and
will be offered as a fully-fledged information
platform in the future. Tool identification is very
simple by entering the product ID number or
via a QR or barcode. In addition to the product
data from the Leitz Lexicon, the user is immediately
offered additional product-related information,
including videos. But that is not all.
LeitzXPert also offers calculation programs for

presentation on the Leitz stand. (Photo: Leitz)
important application data in woodworking and
plastics processing. Visitors to LIGNA can experience
this new “knowledge for your pocket” in
a hands-on way at the Leitz trade fair stand.
Focus on CNC adaptors –
competence in the field of tool adaptors
Whether maximum flexibility through a
quick tool change with the aid of a collet chuck
or maximum precision through the use of a
shrink fit chuck – Leitz will also be demonstrating
its great expertise in the field of adaptors
at this year’s LIGNA. The specialists from
Oberkochen have the NiRo Premium collet
chuck made of stainless steel in their collection.
An innovation that combines extremely high
durability with great flexibility. A trapezoidal
thread facilitates the transmission of force to
the collet chuck, making it quicker and easier to
mount shank tools. A ball-bearing ring also ensures
that the tool does not rotate when tightening
and thus provides the optimum hold for
maximum precision during machining.

Precise sharpening for wood and Co.
In the wood industry, circular saws, drills or milling cutters are indispensable for the efficient
processing of wood and composite materials. Visitors to LIGNA 2023 woodworking
trade fair can find out how these tools can be machined with the highest precision at
the international sharpening specialist Vollmer. The company will be providing comprehensive
insights into its range of machines with which customers can machine
their circular saws and rotary tools – regardless of whether these are made of carbide,
PCD (polycrystalline diamond) or other cutting materials. Automation enables unmanned
24/7 shifts and digital V@dison solutions optimise tool machining and increase transparency
through the rapid availability of machine data and information.
We develop the solutions
of tomorrow – since 1969.
Wood is a raw material with a future –
and its availability is limited. Recycling
and reusing instead of disposing are
therefore our motto.
Customised circular saws are in demand
in the saw mill
At the LIGNA trade fair, Vollmer’s focus will
be on the carbide-tipped circular saw, among
other things. It plays a central role in saw mills
when it comes to automated wood cutting on
chipping and profiling lines. On these lines,
round timber is processed into edged sawn
goods such as squared timber, planks, boards
or battens in one operation. The circular saws
used are mostly customised special designs
with different cutting widths, log thicknesses,
diameters and tooth pitches. These can be completely
sharpened in a single set-up with the
Vollmer CS 860 and CSF 860 grinding machines.
The machines independently recognise the geometry
of a saw tooth and grind it to the desired
dimension with the highest precision. With an
ND handling system, the circular saws can also
be processed unmanned and around the clock.
Grinding and eroding machines
for drills and milling cutters
No. 2 • May 2023
In addition to circular saws, drills and milling
cutters are also used for cutting wood and
composite materials. Vollmer has developed
its VGrind grinding machines to produce rotary
tools such as these from carbide. They have
two vertically configured grinding spindles and
allow efficient multi-level machining. This time,
the VGrind argon will be at the LIGNA trade fair.
The VHybrid 260 grinding and eroding machine
also features multi-level machining, with
the lower spindle capable of both grinding and
eroding. Thanks to a new V@dison solution,
the VHybrid 260 achieves a surface finish of
0.05 μm/Ra (micron/centre roughness value)
when eroding PCD tools. Also on show at LIGNA
is the QXD 250 disc erosion machine, which is
suitable for sharpening PCD tools with diameters
of up to 320 millimetres and weights of up
to 25 kilograms.

Individual solutions for small businesses and upscale series production
Perfect for cutting right from the start
When it comes to cutting solutions, HOLZ-HER can look back on decades of experience. All HOLZ-HER saws, regardless of whether they are
used for horizontal or vertical cutting, impress with outstanding cutting precision and user-friendliness when cutting panel materials from
the wood and plastic processing trades.
Often, high-performing workshop businesses
already reach an industrial level. To demonstrate
what precision technology and intelligent
handling solutions mean for effective and
accurate panel cutting, Holz-Her will show the
Zentrex 6215 horizontal pressure beam saw in
combination with a Store-Master panel storage
system as an optimal solution for high throughput
single and package cutting.
With a maximum power of 25 kW and a saw
blade exit of up to 130 mm, these models offer
the best cutting results for package cutting. The
180 mm scoring unit with 2.2 kW drive power
and the electrical fine adjustment unit with tool
position memory leave nothing to be desired.
For extended applications, the complete saw
unit can also be equipped with speed control.
The optional 2-stage suction management
is a special highlight. Suction flaps in the pressure
beam which are controlled by the cutting
plan open or close depending on the cutting
length, increase suction power at the saw blade
and ensure a clean machine table. For scoring
cuts, a controlled, traveling suction hood behind
the saw blade sucks in the flying chips and dust
during the cutting process. This also gives you a
clean surface for scoring cuts.
To obtain a straight and tear-free reference
edge, a trim cut is made first. The only annoyance
is when the narrow trimming section subsequently
gets jammed in the saw line or even
falls all the way into the machine. With the optional
kerf sealing system, trim cuttings can be
easily removed and no longer fall through the
saw line.
For panel sizes that are difficult to distinguish
in length or width despite 3D screen simulation,
HOLZ-HER offers a laser positioning system that
is accurate to the millimeter. The clear advantage:
the laser indicator eliminates the need
to remeasure the panels and makes incorrect
insertion into the machine a thing of the past.
Conventional loading via the lifting table
quickly reaches its limits with thin panel material,
scratch-sensitive surfaces and abrasive materials.
Also, when using lifting tables, mixed
stacks with different panel dimensions or panel
thicknesses are barely or not at all possible.
In view of the trend towards “one-piece flow”,
i.e. ever smaller batch sizes and individual customer
solutions, HOLZ-HER offers the right alternative
solution with the STORE-MASTER panel
storage system.
14 No. 2 • May 2023

The right solution for any type of
CNC processing
The nesting machining centers of the
Dynestic series from HOLZ-HER comprise three
series with different sizes and varying levels of
automation. These systems offer the advantage
of precise formatting and CNC machining in a
single setup. And that with extremely low handling
effort for the machine operator. In addition
to clear workpiece identification with, for
example, commissioning, machining and edge
information, nesting technology is perfectly
suited to the use of state-of-the-art connector
technology such as the Clamex P system or
Cabineo connectors. Traditional dowel connections
can also be made by secondary machining
with horizontal drilling and driving the dowels
on Holz-Her machines.
With the new PowerPin 7605, Holz-Her
will show a compact drilling and dowel inserting
machine that makes precisely this possible.
Operators can use the PowerPin to drive
in wooden dowels fully automatically in the future,
making it an ideal complement to nesting.
This completely eliminates the need for
manual dowel insertion after CNC machining.
This saves time and increases process reliability.
Depending on the application, either dowels
pre-coated on both sides or standard wooden
dowels with glue application can be processed.
The large-surface support table allows multifield
loading, so that several workpieces can be
efficiently processed side by side, and the intuitive
clamping concept ensures safe and rapid
loading or unloading. We offer a choice of several
automation levels.
The recently introduced PinJet expansion
option for the Evolution series also offers the
possibility of driving dowels that are pre-coated
on both sides. After activating the dowel program
on the machine, the steps of drilling, pretreating
the holes and driving in the dowels are
taken over fully automatically by the control system.
Standard wooden dowels can also be driven
in without glue as positioning dowels for detachable
corner joints, if needed. The processing
capabilities of the vertical CNC processing centers
are almost unlimited. Profiling, milling, drilling,
engraving or complete machining of counter
tops are just some of the possible applications.
Even door processing or the insertion of a
wide variety of connector types are no problem
with the EVOLUTION series.
Into the future with the Evolution
production cell
The increasing automation pressure from the
furniture industry is not only coming from industrial
scale companies; small businesses are also
following the signs of the future. Be it to counteract
the shortage of skilled labor or to make
their own business future-proof through digitization
and individualization. It is precisely for
this group of visitors that Holz-Her will be presenting
the Evolution production cell at LIGNA, a
compact stand-alone machine solution.
Holz-Her uses EtherCAT communication
technology to connect the Kuka robot used,
which guarantees a fully integrated solution
and optimal integration into the system. It also
enables faster and more secure communication
between machine and robot. Further connection
modules for the communication with nesting or
console CNCs have already been implemented.

Innovative control technology for trade and industry
Smart operation
It made sense to take this development a
step further and use the tablet as an extended
machine control system. With the tablet or the
corresponding app, users have access to extensive
extensions of the essential machine operation,
which runs on the 7” touch screen permanently
installed on the machine. In addition,
access to data centrally managed in the company,
such as order data or mould information, is
ensured via the tablet or the associated cloud
application.
Of course, every machine equipped with
ConnectControl can be operated without a
docked tablet as well as without an on-line connection,
but then without the possibilities of
communication to the “outside”.
Mobile extension
The quality market leader MARTIN will present at the world’s leading trade fair LIGNA the
complete range of sliding table saws, spindle moulders, thicknessers and surface planers
as well as the special sanding machine for wood window construction.
The intelligent combination of a mobile tablet
and a 7” touch screen permanently installed
on the machine enables the multi-level operating
concept to provide efficient electronic support
for the operator directly at the machine.
“We at MARTIN are very proud to be
able to present our innovative, now patented
ConnectControl control technology to visitors
for the first time at LIGNA. We are convinced
that with this innovative concept of machine
control we have once again given a noticeable
innovative impetus to the entire industry,”
Michael Mühldorfer, Marketing Manager at
MARTIN, introduces his remarks.
The undisputed highlight of this LIGNA,
Mühldorfer continued, is the cloud-based, patented
Connect-Control control concept that
characterises the latest generation of sliding
table saws and table milling machines from
MARTIN.
With this multi-award-winning MARTIN
invention, users receive a uniquely designed,
high-performance machine control system that
not only opens up completely new horizons for
the user in machine operation, but also opens
up the entire world of modern data exchange.
New horizons for the workshop
The innovative, patented ConnectControl
control system is available for the new T14 and
T29 spindle moulders and the two new T66 and
T77 sliding table saws. Thanks to the modular
design of ConnectTouch, the permanently installed
touch-screen control, ConnectPad, the
Apple iPad, with the ConnectApp and the cloud
solution ConnectDrive, the customer has the option
of upgrading or downgrading the control
of his machine at any time, even after purchase.
This provides a comfortable level of investment
security and flexibility.
The state of the art in the operation of stationary
standard woodworking machines is
dominated by electronic controls that are permanently
connected to the machine; the possibility
of multifunctional use of the existing control
electronics is not given.
These controls are also only connected to
the Internet in exceptional cases, mainly for
maintenance. With ConnectControl, MARTIN is
taking into account the increasing digitalisation
of the working world, which is also unstoppable
in the traditional trade. A central cornerstone
here is communication.
Modern companies and their employees
increasingly work with electronic work documents,
i.e. tablets. On the one hand, because
the tablet carries all relevant work documents,
on the other hand, because it is a central means
of modern communication.
On the other hand, the tablet also ensures
communication between the machine and the
work preparation department as well as between
the machine and the construction site,
for example. The tablet as the employee’s central
work device ensures that work processes
are perfectly organised even if changes occur
that flow into the company from outside.
Examples of this are changes or rework that
are necessary at short notice, which occur
from time to time during an assembly operation.
Through the use of modern communication
technology, these flow seamlessly to the
machine – quickly and efficiently. Neither outdated
work instructions nor obsolete drawings
need to be exchanged; everyone has the current
status directly at hand at all times. By integrating
modern technology directly into the
machine operation, even the last hurdle of the
information flow is taken.
New machine design
Visitors can also look forward to the new,
fresh design of the MARTIN machines. The entire
range now comes in a modern white, the familiar
water blue is now reserved for the area
around the logo.

Although this year’s LIGNA 2023 will be focusing on wood from
May 15 to 19, this won’t be exclusively on how this valuable resource
is processed. Also how wood debris can yield the most has
never before been so important. And organised accordingly are the
presentations by the briquetting experts, the world market leader
RUF Maschinenbau and its subsidiary C.F. Nielsen, at their booth,
including the RUF 1200 and BP7510, the latest creations from the
world of briquetting systems.
The hydraulic and mechanical briquetting innovations by
RUF Maschinenbau and C.F. Nielsen together constitute the world’s
largest single-source portfolio. In other words: No matter the capacity,
chip geometry, or material type, there is a solution for virtually all. The briquetting
specialists from Zaisertshofen in Bavaria and Bælum in Denmark
can provide these solutions from their hydraulic and mechanical ranges.
The Group’s systems can process not only wood, but biomass and other
debris as well. Their capacities range from 30 to 4000 kg/h. The optimal
technology from case to case can be determined only in talks with the
company’s experts. At LIGNA 2023, they will be available to trade visitors
at all times when they can demonstrate the functions and all key properties
on the exhibited systems.
I feel

Among others of its products, RUF will be presenting its new
RUF 1200 for 240 ×70 mm briquettes. Thanks to its revised hydraulics, this
machine now exhibits a power consumption 25 % less than its predecessor
RUF 1100+, with a slightly higher performance. It then produces more
than 640 briquettes an hour, each weighing 1.7 kg. In addition, the company
will be presenting its RUF R6 from its standardised LIGNUM series
for wood. Every hour, this system converts about 670 kg into approximately
780 briquettes.
The BP7510HD by the RUF subsidiary C.F. Nielsen represents this company’s
most powerful mechanical press. It features a dual charger with
a maximum capacity of 3500 kg/h. The system is therefore ideal for the
high-performance production of briquettes for the industry and home
consumers.

Sustainability in woodworking with laser technology
wood has been a fundamental resource for humanity for more than 700,000 years, providing warmth, energy, and shelter. Even today, we
still rely on wood-based paper and write on wooden desks, making it an integral part of our knowledge and creativity. To maximize the
efficiency of this precious resource, the wood processing industry has turned to laser solutions. In this article, we examine the challenges
and opportunities of utilizing laser technology in woodworking.
Laser technology plays a critical role in every
stage of wood processing, from harvesting
in the forest to the final manufacturing of
nail-laminated timber constructions. In the industry,
laser solutions for positioning or projection
are widely recognized for their ability to
improve the efficiency of wood processing. One
of the key benefits of laser technology is its precision,
which allows for accurate and consistent
processing of the material, resulting in significant
resource savings. As such, the use of lasers
has become a crucial component in the wood
processing industry, enabling manufacturers
to meet the demands of a competitive market
while maintaining high product quality
standards.
The most important applications of lasers
in woodworking
Starting from the initial stages of log processing,
lasers are employed in various applications,
including splitting logs at the sawmill
with a saw gate or frame saw. Laser technology
is also integrated into feller bunchers during log
harvesting, with visible line lasers indicating the
cutting height to the logger, allowing for precise
positioning of the grab and saw for efficient
loading onto trailers.
In sawmills, lasers are primarily used during
the initial stages of processing, such as
splitting logs, trimming bark or tree edges,
and cutting to length for boards or strips. For
carpentry shops, line lasers serve as essential
positioning aids for joinery machines used in
constructing roof trusses. Furthermore, laser
projectors are utilized in various applications,
including positioning aids for vacuum suction
cups and projecting workpiece outlines onto
materials during the production of nail-laminated
or glue-laminated timber constructions.
The versatility and precision of laser technology
make it a vital component of wood processing
at every stage.
Your advantages using lasers in the wood
industry
In woodworking, precision and efficiency
are key factors for success. Achieving high
quality products and remaining competitive in
a global market requires both. This is where
laser solutions, like those provided by Z-LASER,
play a crucial role. By utilizing lasers, customers
can not only save time and materials, but
also reduce waste and scrap. Employees can orient
themselves to the laser lines or projections,
enabling them to position the material quickly
and accurately and use saws in a highly efficient
manner. For example, the red laser line on the
table can be used to position the trimming cut
quickly and easily.
Robust and precise: What a laser in the
wood industry must deliver The line lasers and
laser projectors from Z-LASER are designed specifically
for rough industrial use in sawmills,
carpentry shops, timber framing, and joineries.
The ZM-18 series lasers support gang saws and
multi-blade/edging saws in sawmills, while the
ZPT-F series is ideal for use in format or table
saws. Laser projectors such as the ZLP2 are used
for nail plate constructions and at glueing tables,
where complex shapes are projected onto
the material.
One common issue faced in wood processing
is dust. However, Z-LASER products are
largely immune to these small interfering particles,
with an IP67 rating for line lasers and
IP65 rating for laser projectors. This means they
are dustproof and protected against contact or
protected against dust in harmful amounts and
against contact, respectively.
The future of woodworking is laser-guided
Overall, it can be said that Z-LASER tools are
ideal for the wood industry because they help to
see better, make decisions faster, and act more
precisely – the valuable resource of wood will
thank you! Hopefully even for the next 700,000
years to come.

Demonstration of Lignoloc ® automation solution
The wooden nail and the robot – the mission continues. And this time the nail shooting is real. Fastening pioneer BECK, and KEHRATEC,
who is a leading specialist in the fields of robot automation, intralogistics, and process control systems, will be demonstrating the joint
LIGNOLOC ® pilot project at two trade fairs in 2023.
The two companies are working on the realization
of a robot-assisted system for the fully
or partially automated implementation of timber
construction projects, particularly by pre-assembling
completely glue-free and metal-free
wall elements.
The system will be shown live in action at
the LIGNA in Hanover. During the demonstrations,
wall elements will be manufactured, in
which the individual layers are attached by the
robot with LIGNOLOC ® wooden nails. A FASCO ®
nailing head, BECK‘s own brand of pneumatic
tools, is used for driving in the nails. No predrilling
is required for the collated wooden nails.
Customizable system
The automation solution will be demonstrated
at the BECK booth with an original
KUKA robot and a wall section. For actual use,
the system can be adapted to the needs of the
customer. Our experts will be happy to advise
you directly on site.
Lignoloc ® and robotics – advantages for
carpenters
For CEO and General Manager Christian
Beck, the advantages of robotics and ecological
fastening technology in mass timber construction
are obvious: “Small and medium-sized
timber construction companies and carpenters
throughout Europe should be able to manufacture
metal- and glue-free mass timber wall elements
themselves”, Beck explains the vision
behind the project. “With the expansion of the
LIGNOLOC ® ecosystem in terms of compatibility
with common processing solutions, as well
as the co-engineering of the flexible, digital robot
platform together with KEHRATEC, the use
of mass timber elements becomes more flexible
and the transport distances shorter. As a final
consequence, it will be cheaper for many companies
to manufacture mass timber elements
themselves”, Beck is convinced of the benefits
of the project for the timber construction

“When digitalization contributes to sustainability”
The organizer is not the only one who is pleased to say “It’s LIGNA again”; they are joined by the entire Siempelkamp Group, who will
be united at the booth in hall 26. The umbrella message for LIGNA 2023 originates from the Siempelkamp claim “Intelligent engineering
for future generations”: It combines digitalization and sustainability, the two current megatrends which make up Siempelkamp’s clear
mission to act.
The current Siempelkamp LIGNA campaign
with its kaleidoscope look illustrates the versatility
and correlations within this claim: digitalization
and automation, sustainability and resource
efficiency, innovation and social responsibility.
These topics are key for the success of
people, machines, technologies and services in
the wood-based panel industry.
Launch of the “IQ” digital platform
So what does this mean for visitors to
the Siempelkamp booth? In a multi-sensual
“Experience Walk”, the two strategic topic areas
can be experienced in the truest sense of
the word. New products and approaches to resource
efficiency and recycling are presented
in the area of “sustainability”, anchored in
the topics of “wood/material use”, “emissions”
and “energy”. The topic of “intelligent production”
will be a focal point in a digital experience
room. Siempelkamp will be presenting the new
digital platform “IQ” to the public here for the
first time – a digital, holistic overall approach
for the plant operator.
The entire kaleidoscope of Siempelkamp solutions
includes numerous other individual concepts
and solutions which will be presented at
selected brand and product islands.
ContiRoll ® Generation 9i
Of course it would not do for Siempelkamp’s
flagship to be missing at the LIGNA. The new
ContiRoll ® 9i will be presented with further developments
which redefine the triad of reliability,
performance, and a new access concept
which is key for plant operators. The new
ContiRoll ® 9i is rounded off with adaptive forming
systems that automatically optimize the
spreading distribution for MDF and particle
board – without operator intervention.

Solutions for challenging jobs
LIGNA, the world’s leading trade fair for the woodworking and wood processing industry, will be held this year in Hanover from 15 to 19
May. Here, for the first time, Vecoplan will be presenting a pre-shredder for pallets and boxes. The machine is equipped with the Vecoplan
Smart Center (VSC), which opens the way to additional digital services. Visitors will also get to see other premieres and relaunches – further
demonstrations of Vecoplan’s unique expertise.
At LIGNA Vecoplan will give its first live
trade-fair demonstration of the Vecoplan Pallet
Crusher (VPC). Together with the VHZ wood
shredder, it is an efficient means of shredding
pallets and boxes in a continuous process.
Until now, material centres, distribution centres
and DIY stores have had to rely on large,
powerful single-shaft shredders for continuous
processing of large-volume wooden components.
These machines took up a lot of floor
space, in contrast to the combined solution
consisting of the VHZ and VPC. They also had
relatively low throughput, because the bulky
load carriers fed to them contained lots of air.
With the VPC, bulky parts are broken, not cut.
After this pre-shredding they can be reduced
even more in size, allowing the throughput to
be increased by up to 50 percent as compared
to single-shaft shredding. For customers this
also means minimum wear. The combination is
already very successful on the market.
At the trade fair the VPC will be connected
via the cloud to the Vecoplan Smart Center
(VSC). Vecoplan already demonstrated this at
LIGNA 2019. In the meantime the company’s
experts have added many more services to the
VSC, including online commissioning, remote
service, KPIs and access to a media database.
How does this work? Visitors to the Vecoplan
stand will find out.
Chipper in a new design
Another trade fair highlight will be the relaunch
of the VTH 450 biomass chipper, which is
used in chipping plants in the energy & pellet industries,
biomass heat & power plants and boiler
feed systems. The VTH 450 is the first machine
in Vecoplan’s line of biomass chippers to come
out in a new industrial design. Here the company’s
engineers paid particular attention to ergonomics
and efficiency. The new design, which
features closed side walls and an internal drive
unit, also limits the escape of dirt. Cleaning requirements
are significantly reduced. Another
advantage is that important areas can easily be
reached by service technicians in spite of the enclosed
housing.
Visitors to LIGNA will also learn about the
challenging waste shredding operations of the
Finnish-Swedish company Stora Enso. The company
needed an effective processing line for
large quantities of solid production waste consisting
of cross-laminated timber (CLT) from
house construction. This wood material, which
can serve as a substitute for concrete and steel,
The fully revamped Vecoplan VTH 450 biomass chipper is notable
for its functional design, smart drive unit and other features.
has become popular for use in ceilings, roofs,
walls and stairs on account of its strength, appearance
and versatility. Stora Enso can use the
processed waste materials for power generation
and heating.
Vecoplan will also be showing the first images
of the prototype of its new VVB primary
crusher. A user that produces fuels from biomass
is currently putting this world-first solution
through its paces. Vecoplan will present
facts and figures on the VVB in Hanover.

NESTRO ® is focusing on surface technology at LIGNA
This year, NESTRO ® Lufttechnik GmbH will
present itself prominently at the LIGNA. The
company exclusivly demonstrates live its surface
and filter technology and is pleased about
the renewed order to extract all processing machines
in the “HOMAG City” on the stand area
opposite to the NESTRO ® booth. In all three applications
of dust, chip and paint mist extraction,
NESTRO ® sees itself as one of the market
leaders in woodworking and in the wood industry
and offers complete system solutions. At this
trade fair, visitors can experience and evaluate
all applications live.
Sanding stand NST 75 for sanding dust
The NESTRO ® NST 75 sanding stand features
an air capacity of 7,500 m 3 /h and a separation
efficiency of up to 95 % to ensure a
dust-free environment during preliminary and
intermediate sanding. This ensures maximum
free moving space within a working area of
4,000 × 3,100 mm, even managing large processing
pieces. Visitors can test the sanding
stand to see how the resulting sanding dust is
effectively captured in easy-to-clean filter elements
by means of a low-turbulence and directed
air flow. The return air mode saves energy
costs and ensures a pleasant, draught-free
room climate in compliance with the workplace
ordinance.
PAINTLINE-System for paint mist
For the highest demands in painting,
NESTRO ® offers the PAINTLINE system in three
performance classes (Classic, Comfort and
Premium) with volume flows from 7,500 to
24,500 m 3 /h in above-floor or underfloor layout.
At its booth, the company will be demonstrating
live paint mist extraction with an air volume of
7,500 m 3 /h featuring the PAINTLINE Classic OF
75 system with a plate heat exchanger (using
artificial theater mist). Since solvents and paints
sink to the floor due to their greater density, the
paint particles are extracted in a continuous,
draft-free air flow near the floor in order to bind
mist in the filter mats. PAINTLINE systems allow
painting of consistently high quality even in continuous
operation with the simplest handling.
Each of these systems is individually designed
based on customer’s requirements and spatial
conditions. As a modular system, the modules
can also be scaled if required. Since this year,
NESTRO
® has also been offering complete cab-
in solutions for installations within an existing
factory building, consisting of HIPERTEC
® wall
and ceiling panels. These sandwich panels have
a non-combustible insulating core made of mineral
wool and meet even the most stringent fire
and noise protection requirements.
4 elements intermediate filter NSJ 9/5 – 38
Also set up on the NESTRO ® exhibition
booth is a 9/5 JET intermediate filter with a construction
height of almost 9 m. The filter system
extracts dust and chips of most of the processing
machines in the “HOMAG-City”.
The modular design of four filter elements
is clearly visible. In practice, the suction capacity
can be individually configured for the customer
from 4,000 to 150,000 m 3 /h. This 9/5 – 38 design
has a filter area of 256.8 m 2 . Two high-efficiency
clean gas fans, each equipped with a motor
of 22 kW, are located on the top of the filter and
produce a volume flow of up to 40,000 m 3 /h. The
outstanding visual quality of the filter with its
smooth surface is created by the NESTRO ® typical
continuous steel sheet bending to the inside.
The return air is led back into the exhibition hall,
thus relieving the load on the air conditioning
system and sustainably improving the air quality
(residual dust content < 0.1 mg/m 3 ). The filter
is equipped with a spark detection and extinguishing
system from partner company t&b
electronic, Alfeld. The filter bags are cleaned
with the JET compressed air pulse method. Dust
and chips are discharged via a screw and a rotary
valve into a deduster that is connected via
a transport duct.
Deduster NE 300 J with briquetting press
NBP
The NE J range of dust collectors is the first
in the world to feature IE5 synchronous reluctance
motor / frequency converter packages.
In close cooperation with ABB AG, the company
has been the first manufacturer to offer dedusters
with permanently frequency-controlled,
quieter IE5 motors as standard since last year.
The frequency converter ensures that the motor
runs at the optimum operating point at all
times and in any constellation. With these stateof-the-art
devices, users can save up to 22 % in
energy costs compared to dust collectors with
IE3 motors commonly available on the market.
NESTRO ® is making a significant contribution to
climate protection and at the same time saves
money for the customer. Using an integrated
NBP 60 briquetting press, wood briquettes are
produced at fixed time intervals at the end of
processing.
Thus customers create their own source
of energy from waste material. As with all
NESTRO ® dedusters, the residual dust content of
the air released back into the exhibition hall is
below 0.1 mg/m 3 .
Shredder NSL 60
The single-shaft shredders of the NSL series
from NESTRO ® are characterized by extremely
robust technology. Single-shaft technology has
established itself on the market for wood waste
in joineries and in the wood-processing industry.
The cutting rotor with its rotatable and replaceable
cutters delivers high chipping performance
combined with energy efficiency. Our shredders
make this possible with a load-dependent pusher
control. Via a large mirror, visitors can observe
the shredding of the material (hardwood,
softwood and chipboard) between the rotating
knives on the rotor shaft and a fixed bed knife in
the machine bed. Dust and chips are sucked into
the deduster NE 300 J via the extraction channel
and transport duct.
Deduster NE 350 J
In the workshop concepts area of the
“HOMAG-City”, NESTRO ® extracts dust and
chips live from typical processing machines for
the woodworking with another deduster NE 350
J and temporarily stores the residual material in
its three mobile bins. With an operating volume
flow of 9,500 m 3 /h, the NE 350 J is the powerhouse
of the energy- efficient product family. Its
nominal volume flow is 6,925 m 3 /h with an associated
negative pressure of 2,750 pascals. This
is ideal for the use in the wood industry e.g. extracting
CNC machines with high-speed processing
or larger standard machine parks in which
the simultaneousness thanks to the frequency
converter that is provide with the IE5 package.

More robust. Lower maintenance. More energy efficient.
The popular WL 4 grinder from WEIMA is used thousands of times worldwide in woodworking and processing companies – and has been
continuously improved over three decades. For the long-awaited LIGNA, the shredding specialist from Ilsfeld is giving the long-running
machine a comprehensive technical update including modern design features.
New WEIMA WL 4 single-shaft shredder
Companies that want to make optimum use
of their residual wood and recycle it sustainably
cannot do without shredding and compacting.
For more than 40 years, WEIMA has been offering
the appropriate machine solutions including
conveyor technology as a complete package
from a single source.
The proven single-shaft shredders are part
of the basic equipment for many joineries and
carpentries, furniture and interior designers,
roofers, woodworkers, sawmills and, of course,
the wood industry.
Probably the best-known shredder is the WL 4.
It has a working width of 600 mm with a rotor
made of solid material, a manually changeable
perforated screen to define the chip size, and a
generous feed hopper with free-cutting function
to prevent material bridging.
In addition, a gearbox specially developed
by WEIMA ensures maximum availability and
protects against unexpected shocks and vibrations
caused by interfering materials. All this
makes it ideal for small to medium throughput
volumes. Thanks to its compact design, it can
be placed directly next to a machining center
if required.
Ready for the future: The new WEIMA WL
4 wood shredder
At WEIMA, the attributes of durability and
robustness are paramount. To ensure that the
WL 4 remains well equipped for the years to
come, WEIMA has comprehensively revised the
shredder’s technology for LIGNA 2023. The new
base frame of the machine now has a significantly
more robust design. This reinforcement
is noticeable, for example, in applications such
as multiplex. Vibrations have been reduced to
a minimum.
Another innovation is the maintenance-free
V-belt. The electromechanical drive will operate
with even less wear in the future, which reduces
maintenance costs. In order to increase energy
efficiency, WEIMA has also improved the hydraulic
unit, which is protected inside the machine,
and optimized the PLC control unit.
The next winter is sure to come –
independence pays off twice
Wood chips from waste wood can be
burned in heating systems without any problems
and thus used for energy. If you want to
get even more calorific value out of your waste,
you can use briquettes. The other advantages
are: Volume reduction of up to 80 percent, higher
resale values, a significant reduction in the
risk of dust and explosion, and energy-autonomous
heat generation.

SPÄNEX proves performance of SMU dedusting batteries
Anyone who comes to the SPÄNEX stand at LIGNA this year will be surprised. The specialist for extraction and briquetting systems will
not clean the entire dusty air volume of the Weinig/Holz-Her-machines with a large filter system, but will cover the entire demand of
110,000 m 3 /h only with SMU dedusting batteries. SPÄNEX thus proves the powerful performance of this system.
Dedusting batteries for indoor installation
are individual dust collectors connected
in parallel. Dust extractors normally work independently
and extract a maximum volume
flow of 10,000 m 3 /h. Combined as a battery,
however, they can also extract a multiple
quantity of air and dust volume safely
and efficiently via appropriate shared piping
and a coordinating control (master – slave
circuit).
The separated chips and dust can then be
disposed of e.g. into BigBags installed underneath,
in briquetting presses or via pneumatic
conveyors into silos or containers.
This system has so far only been presented
to the public as a double battery for
20,000 m 3 /h. Now, due to great customer interest,
SPÄNEX is taking a step further and
shows on its stand for the first time a fourfold-battery
system for an extraction capacity
of 40,000 m 3 /h. The separated chips
are fed from the dust extractors into a buffer
container and from there to a briquetting
press of type SPÄNEX SHB 250. This type of
press has a briquetting capacity of approx.
250 kg per hour, which corresponds to a loose
chip volume of between 1.5 and 2.5 m 3 /h.
With this concept, SPÄNEX ensures that
even large quantities of chips from the connected
moulders are reliably collected, conveyed
without disruption and briquetted as quickly as
possible.
Line fi lter unit with reverse-air cleaning
Briquetting reduces the volume of wood
dust and chips considerably for later use, e.g.
for combustion, which improves both – transport
efficiency and storage capacity.
The advantage of dedusting batteries always
becomes apparent when, due to local
conditions, stationary filter systems cannot be
placed outside the building (e.g. lack of space,
no sufficient safety area for explosion relief) and
also the alternative installation in the building
as a filter system with flameless explosion relief
is not possible.
Further advantages: Indoor installation
shortens the extraction pipes and even eliminates
the need for return air ducts for the cleaned air.
The air extracted from the machines is returned
to the room without heat loss. This minimises
electrical and thermal energy consumption.
The standard of the SMU dust collector also
includes the usage of frequency converters,
which regulate the speed of the extraction fans
and thus constantly optimise the energy demand
of the system. For this purpose, a certain
suction pressure in the extraction pipe is specified
as a setpoint. This setpoint ensures that sufficient
extraction power is available at each machine.
This value is continuously monitored via a
sensor and the fan power is adjusted accordingly.
In this way, especially when not all processing
machines are in operation, the air requirement
and thus energy consumption is automatically
reduced.
This new concept of the indoor dedusting
battery in combination with a briquetting
press also convinced the jury of the Xylexpo
Innovation Award during the Milan Fair in
October 2022, so that SPÄNEX was awarded the
innovation prize in the category sustainability.
For LIGNA, SPÄNEX is placing three more
SMU dedusting batteries and a single unit on
the Weinig/Holz-Her stand with a decentrally
distributed extraction capacity of 70,000 m 3 /h –
equipped with both additional briquetting
presses and chip collection bins.
All SMU dust collectors are controlled
by Siemens PLC and operated via convenient
touch panels. A wide range of options
(e.g. various sensors, coupling with customer
devices, remote monitoring, etc.) meets all customer
requirements.
On top of that, there are the well-known advantages
of the SMU deduster series, such as:
• high suction power
• quiet operation
• effective filter and cleaning technology
• compact housing dimensions.
Another variant of the SMU series is the
SMU-MP medium pressure deduster for extracting
dust from small manual machines and
manual workstations. It is characterised by a
particularly high vacuum of up to 10,000 Pa.
The dust extractors of this series are equipped
as standard with energy-saving motors combined
with a frequency converter. The decisive
advantage of this series is that it can be used
to create central extraction solutions to which
several manual or small machines can be connected,
so that the extracted dust can be collected
centrally.
For visitors interested in the outdoor filter
systems for air volumes even above
100,000 m 3 /h, the SPÄNEX team has lots of information
and pictures, references and concept
examples available.
Paint mist extraction systems (dry spray
walls, underfloor extraction), extraction tables
and sanding cabins are also part of the SPÄNEX
product range.

Expertise convinces
Door skin duo for Steves & Sons, Inc.
New order for Siempelkamp: The US door manufacturer Steves & Sons, Inc. placed an order
for two forming and press lines for the production of door skins. Siempelkamp’s comprehensive
expertise in the area of wood-based panel plants, in particular for the production
of thin MDF and HDF boards, was convincing here.
The new Texan customer also placed an order
with Siempelkamp subsidiary Büttner for
two fiber dryers and an energy plant. Steves &
Sons, a Texas family-owned company, is entering
the door skins manufacturing business with
this project. “Quality, superior craftsmanship,
and style” form the definitive commitment of
the Texas family-owned business with 157 years
of tradition in its markets.
The two press lines each consist of a fiber
classifier, mat forming, forming line and the
multi-daylight press yielding millions of door
skins per year. For the press line design, the focus
was specifically on the wide product variety,
combined with the minimization of trim waste.
For the process heat supply of the mill, Büttner
contributes an energy system, based on biomass
combustion, including flue gas pre- cleaning
as well as two fiber drying systems. The energy
system not only supplies thermal energy to
the drying systems, it also heats thermal oil for
press heating and generates steam for wood
defibration. Commissioning and start-up is
scheduled for 2024.
The decisive factor for the cooperation is
Siempelkamp’s outstanding competence in
the wood-based panel industry, which includes
plants for the production of thin MDF and HDF
boards. This expertise is also in demand for the
production of door skins – thin molded hardboard
panels which, glued to frames on both
sides, are used as interior doors. Siempelkamp
has already proven its experience in the area of
door skin production with a high-performance
plant operated by a Turkish customer. The surface
qualities of the panels require highest demands:
From appearance and material density
to thickness tolerances, many factors affect the
appearance, the final quality, and ultimately the
production costs of the door skins.
In addition, other factors contributed to the
fact that two family-owned companies with almost
identical longevity came together in this
project. “Our experience in the North American
market, our competence in being able to adapt
technical designs very specifically to local requirements,
convinced Steves & Sons. We can
also bring our exceptional expertise in the planning
of complete plants to the table. This ensures
an optimal process technology and operating
cost design, for example in the form of low
maintenance and energy costs, a minimized use
of raw materials, and a high degree of automation,”
say Dirk Koltze, President Siempelkamp
LP/Büttner in Charlotte/USA, and Andreas Krott,
Senior Sales and Project Engineer Siempelkamp
Maschinen- und Anlagenbau GmbH.

Successfully took over the baton
Less than a year has passed since Heesemann
and HOMAG announced their technology
partnership in the field of sanding
machines. HOMAG’s declared goal was to
continue to cover the customer’s entire
process chain. However, responsibility for
the development and production of sanding
machines was to lie with Heesemann in
the future.
SWT-100, HSM Compact and HSM New Edition form the entry-level segment in Heesemann’s sanding machine portfolio.
In order to be able to offer end-to-end solutions
for all segments from entry-level to
high-end solutions, Heesemann has expanded
its sanding machine portfolio. And the result
is something to be proud of – most recently at
LIGNA 2023 in Hanover.
New entry-level models developed in a
very short time
The sanding machines from Karl Heesemann
Maschinenfabrik in Bad Oeynhausen are said to
be optimally designed for continuous use in industrial
series production thanks to their robust
construction and outstanding performance features.
In recent years, however, there has also
been a growing desire for automated sanding
solutions among customers in the craft segment
as well as among small and medium-sized businesses
– which is why the HSM, Heesemann’s
smallest machine to date, is also particularly
popular in these segments.
With the new entry-level models SWT-100
and HSM Compact, the portfolio is now being
rounded off downwards once again, and the
HSM series has also been completely revised as
a “New Edition”. This means that the discerning
craftsman will now also be able to obtain industrial
technology at affordable prices. Because
all machines have one thing in common: the
Heesemann DNA. In other words: Heesemann
does not make any compromises on the quality
of the sanded product, regardless of whether
sanding is done with a KSA or a SWT-100, the
quality promise remains the same.
SWT-100: The entry into professional
sanding
According to its developers, the SWT-100
is the perfect solution for small and mediumsized
craft businesses to fulfill customer-specific
sanding tasks in surface finishing. Whether as
a single or double belt machine, the predefined
five configuration models with a working width
of 1,100 millimeters are said to be perfect for
the production of kitchen, office and solid wood
furniture.
Calibrating and fine sanding of solid wood,
sanding of veneers and intermediate lacquer
sanding is thus possible. Until recently offered
by HOMAG, the SWT-100 is now available as a
Heesemann machine.
HSM Compact: Versatile all-round machine
for craftsmen with high demands
The HSM Compact was developed on
the basis of the former SWT-200. Numerous
Heesemann technologies have been incorporated,
such as the maintenance-free CSD magnetic
pressure beam as standard, which is also
found in all other Heesemann machines, as well
as the spindle height adjustment in the machine
column or the absolutely plane-parallel
Heesemann vacuum table for obtaining perfectly
dimensionally accurate workpieces, and finally,
energy consumption is also reduced by a particularly
efficient extraction system.
Optimal for producing a wide range of
surface qualities
With the HSM Compact, all work that occurs
in the plant can be performed with consistent
quality and in a particularly user-friendly
manner: Calibrating, intermediate veneer and
lacquer sanding, structuring as well as cleaning
of boards, solid wood or veneered workpieces.
According to the company, the multifunctional
sanding center, which occupies an area of just
four and a half square meters, is ideally suited
for producing a wide range of surface qualities.
The HSM Compact is Heesemann’s smallest
machine equipped with the maintenance-free
CSD magnetic pressure beam as standard. It is
available as a single- and double-belt machine
in six possible standard configurations and sensible
equipment options.
HSM New Edition: The automatic surface
grinding machine for craft & industry
The HSM New Edition is the logical further
development of the successful HSM series. For
the first time, the popular DB-S planetary head
unit is available in an entry-level machine.
Whether effect sanding, cross sanding, lacquer
or high-gloss sanding, panels, solid wood
or veneered workpieces – the HSM New Edition
can process workpieces with a thickness of
three to 200 millimeters. It features automatic
workpiece thickness measurement across the
entire processing width in the machine infeed.
Both the sanding belt speed on all fine sanding
units and the feed rate (three to 15 meters
per minute) can be infinitely adjusted. The HSM
series is available as a two-, three- or four-belt
machine in 17 possible standard configurations
and a wide range of equipment options.
Successful handover of the baton
The fact that both sides are satisfied with
the result of the technology partnership is
documented by the corresponding quotes: “The
quality of the machines is simply unique. The
results speak for themselves, because with no
other machine do they get surfaces like with a
Heesemann. The Heesemann DNA can be felt
in every single machine, which ultimately also
convinces our customers. It’s simply fun to
have machines like this in our portfolio,” states
Peter Niederer from HOMAG Switzerland Sales.
And for the “opposite side”, Christoph Giese,
Managing Director of Heesemann, confirms:
“The teams on both sides have done a remarkable
job in the last weeks and months, and I
am really proud of this achievement. Without
the commitment of each individual, we certainly
wouldn’t have achieved this in such a short
time. A big thank you to everyone involved.”

This allows several constructive elements to be
combined into one component, whereby the resulting
component is parametric. In addition,
imos AG offers cloud-based services that enable
the exchange of planning and design data
across departments and companies.
The cloud-based service solution iX Scout
for the paperless provision of digital documents
for manufacturing and assembly, which was introduced
in 2021, is constantly being further developed
to meet market requirements and will
also receive a powerful update at LIGNA 2023.
Professional presentations can be made directly
from iX CAD – furniture plans or designs
and can be distributed easily and quickly to customers
via the cloud.
Focus on speed, efficiency and flexibility
Another major highlight will be the new
product line NET Studio. The online sales solution
focuses on innovative furniture and room
planning, as well as a new type of configuration
option.
The starting signal here is
NET Studio.kitchen – the specialization for the
kitchen industry. Impressive visualizations illustrate
the configuration experience, with
changes that updated immediately. The simple
and fast handling enables impressive planning
that goes into detail. Using “drag&drop”
and “move&match”, kitchens are now planned,
sold and even directly manufactured online in
the iX INTERIO environment.

Sharing passion
You can look forward to a lively exhibition experience where HOMAG will showcase the right solutions to meet your requirements and
provide you with a multitude of new ideas. The innovation ranges from individual machines, integrated cell concepts and robotics up to
complete system solutions that suit all applications, production levels, and performance classes. HOMAG will also present solutions from
WEINMANN and key HOMAG partners tapio, BENZ Tooling and SCHULER Consulting.
achieving correct angles. This means that even
rough-edged workpieces can be processed
perfectly. Another perfect supplement to the
EDGETEQ S- 500 is the LOOPTEQ O-600 gantry
return conveyor system. Intelligent automation
forms the basis for a high-performance,
interlinked material flow. The defined part rotation
when moving the workpieces results in
a process-oriented return for incomplete parts,
and all finished workpieces can be ejected or
stacked by this system.
The DRILLTEQ V-310 vertical CNC processing center
Solutions for CNC processing: woodWOP
update to version 8.1
The latest version of the woodWOP programming
software is packed with new features
and enhancements that make using this
powerful software even easier and productive
than before. For example, the pocket processing
programming has been completely revised
as an enhancement. Users can now define
the approach mode, the reference point,
and the shape, significantly increasing flexibility
during programming. The nesting plugin
allows users to manually position and nest
individual woodWOP programs on an unprocessed
panel directly in woodWOP. The nesting
plug-in then automatically generates the milling
path for separating the workpieces. When
it comes to simulation and calculating the processing
time, users can look forward to wood-
Motion 8, which has an impressively improved
visualization. For customers who want to know
processing time, woodTime is now available.
In addition, the new CNC test suite enables
large quantities of woodWOP programs to be
checked quickly during work preparation. As
well as determining the processing time, the executability
of the programs is also checked. This
means that users know in advance how long a
job needs on the CNC, thereby preventing unplanned
waiting times and optimizing production
and scheduling.
DRILLTEQ V-310 – Now with robotic
support
Automation and processing with a reduced
availability of qualified personnel is becoming
increasingly important in woodworking
shops. The innovative DRILLTEQ V-310 vertical
CNC processing center, nicknamed “The
Raumwunder” – which was unveiled at last
year’s Holz-Handwerk trade fair – will now be
able to benefit from robotic support in the future.
The reliable supply of workpieces by the
robotic system makes the DRILLTEQ V-310 a
high-performance machining center and therefore
an optimal production tool in woodworking
shops. The benefits of introducing a robotic
system are obvious, since the robot does
not require breaks, can work in the workshop
around the clock and can ensure a consistently
high-level of quality. The possibility of using
this tool in the future will allow small and
medium-sized companies to save time and reduce
the workload for employees. The resulting
flexible organization of personnel enables
the workforce to be used for other value-adding
activities and production processes. This
creates added value for the system in terms
of quality, availability, and performance. Of
course, there is still the option of loading
the DRILLTEQ V-310 manually for individual
workpieces.
News from the EDGE machine pool
The WZ14 workpiece feeding system –
which was previously only available for highproduction
models of edge banders from
HOMAG – is now also available for edge banding
machines in the EDGETEQ S- 500 series.
Thanks to the extended push catches of the
WZ14, workpieces are guided safely under the
top roll pressure unit. The moving gantry ensures
precise parallel cuts – a prerequisite for
With the EDGETEQ S- 500 narrow parts
machine, users can now also precisely process
very narrow workpieces, down to 40 mm
(1.57 inches).
WEINMANN is your partner for timber
construction: The A to Z for your timber
framing needs
Highly efficient production with robots and
multifunction bridges
The requirements in timber construction are
very diverse, since customer demands are highly
customized and individual. A wide variety of
wall structures, materials and element sizes are
the norm. When manufacturing wall, roof, and
ceiling elements, it is therefore even more important
to work with machine technology that
can be used flexibly.
At LIGNA, WEINMANN will be presenting a
highly automated and collaborative production
cell. The FEEDBOT W-500 robot automatically
places panels on the framework. In conjunction
with the new WALLTEQ M-300 multifunction
bridge, this creates a flexible and autonomous
production cell. This cell secures and processes
the element independently and is characterized
by a high degree of flexibility for processing different
materials. It achieves a high level of performance
thanks to automatically interchangeable
fastening units. The production cell is supplemented
by the BUILDTEQ A-700 single-table
turner, which is being presented for the first
time and enables elements to be turned in the
smallest of spaces.

MASS TIMBER CONSTRUCTION
Construction industry turns to wood – LIGNA 2023 delivers solutions
Focus on prefab building processes
important role in timber construction. With its
wide range of products and expertise, the specialist
in CNC machining of complete wall and
ceiling elements helps construction companies
save time and thus costs, while improving the
quality of their work.
Spotlight on prefabrication processes
with customized formats
The special formats at LIGNA 2023 on the
focus topic of “Prefab Building Processes” will
address how the individual process steps in
prefabrication can be harmonized with current
trends in wood construction – for example, elementization
and standardization, multi-storey
wood construction, hybrid buildings, modular
buildings and serial construction.
www.ligna.de
As the trade show with the world’s widest
range of processing machinery for wood construction,
LIGNA 2023 will examine the focus
topic “Prefab Building Processes” from all angles.
After all, timber house construction has
gained massive market share over conventional
construction methods in recent years. As a natural
and renewable raw material, wood ensures
a lower CO 2
impact during the production and
construction of timber houses than other building
materials. In addition, timber houses are becoming
increasingly cost-efficient – a trend that
can be further enhanced by optimizing prefabrication
processes. This is because the prefabrication
of wall and ceiling elements including
doors and windows, complete roof trusses,
stairs and much more, which can be preassembled
under controlled conditions, helps achieve
higher quality as well as faster construction
times in timber construction. For example, CLT
(Cross Laminated Timber) has become increasingly
popular in recent years. Demand for CLT is
expected to continue to increase in the future,
which could result in growth of more than 30
percent for CLT lines in the coming years.
Sustainable housing and building
production requires rethinking
Darko Zimbakov, who as Executive Vice
President at WEINMANN Holzbausystemtechnik
GmbH is responsible for the Construction
Elements Solutions division, explains the solutions
his company will be proposing at LIGNA
2023 to help users around the world get started
in sustainable housing and building production:
“Only industrial prefabrication and the intelligent
combination of sustainable materials
such as wood will make it possible to meet climate
targets and sustainability at the same time
as demand increases. In addition, standardized
processes provide the basis for quality assurance,
inspection and approval time reductions,
and shorter construction times. Weinmann covers
the entire process chain and, through the
consulting services of SCHULER Consulting,
also enables customers and investors in regions
where timber house construction still plays a
subordinate role to enter the sustainable housing
and building
C
production.”

Management change at the IMA Schelling Group
Setting the course for the future
With a management transformation, IMA Schelling Group, which was merged eight years ago, is entering a new phase that leaves previous
thought patterns behind. In order to finalize the process and solidly unify the company, the decision was made to streamline management
with short decision-making paths and a common direction.
Globally active and on a growth course, the
IMA Schelling Group proves itself with its solutions
for fully automated and interlinked plants
in the furniture, wood-based materials and met-
al industries. Customers around the globe include
major furniture and kitchen manufacturers,
as well as corporations in the aircraft
industry.
As a corporate group, success has transformed
what were once separate, medium-sized
operations into a united team with 1,850 employees.
This united appearance is now a matter
of course for IMA Schelling’s employees and
customers and is now manifested all the more in
the company’s changed top management.
Christoph Geiger and Maximilian Lehner,
who were already members of the management,
form the new executive board and continue to
stand for the self-image as a united company.
The executives formerly represented in the top
management alongside the new managing directors
are leaving the previous four-man management
team. Wolfgang Rohner, co-owner
and currently CEO, will move to the Supervisory
Board at the end of the year. In this function, he
will continue to support the new management
in strategic matters. Andreas Bischoff, previously
CSO, is leaving the company on good terms
and will take on a new challenge.
IMA Schelling Group will continue to support
its customers in all markets and projects of
the four service areas – Woodworking, Board,
Precision and Consulting – with its usual competence
and effectiveness. The shortened decision-making
processes and the even stronger
bundled orientation will further optimize the
cooperation and process efficiency for staff and
customers.
