Berufskolleg: Unparalleled networking of the training workshop

manager Sven Huesmann: Starting with CAD design, through the individual work steps, to final assembly. The school is not just using woodWOP 7 — it is also expected to switch to version 8.1 in the near future [...] isn't a problem: The cutting assistant (Cutting Production Set) also works perfectly with other saws, and the students simply work through the cutting pattern using a tablet. "Networking the entire workshop [...] also automatically made available in productionManager. This integration facilitates the work steps during both work preparation and production, because the edge and panel material can be easily accessed

Nordhus focuses on multi-story modular construction

A work table then turns the element automatically [...] potential. We use various wood materials, such as glue-laminated timber, laminated veneer lumber, cross-laminated timber and I-beams. Our business idea is to cover as many work steps as possible within [...] to the Nordhus sales manager Krzysztof Żebrowski. Performance: Mr. Żebrowski, how does it feel to work in a city which accommodates three renowned prefabricated house factories which all accommodate WEINMANN

The first WEINMANN smartPrefab at WeberHaus

perfected. At the first station, the robot integrated by WEINMANN in the frame work station inserts the studs in the frame work fully automatically. In doing so, the robot accesses both standard beams and [...] Autonomous cells that work fully automatically within a network open up new possibilities for timber construction. For this highly automated production, WeberHaus extended the production hall by 2000 square [...] plate, stud or spandrel beam, for example. There are different insertion procedures for the different woods. When controlling the robot, the WEINMANN software calculates the collection and deposit position

Stepping up the pace of production

The organization already had a history of working with HOMAG: Since 2016, the Spandau-based company has been working with an edge banding [...] safe handling. Work preparation redefined Commissioning of the system and training on the use of the CADmatic 5 operating software, the Cut Rite cutting optimization software and the woodStore storage software [...] complete concepts that it then implements in their entirety. A series of interior architects, designers, wood engineers and master carpenters are responsible for ensuring that every single customer requirement

Tradition meets high tech: Joinery Koch produces “historic” windows for the Römer building in Frankfurt

stringent expectations of quality and precision. Extreme material diversity Window production in wood and wood / aluminum constructions accounts for over half the total production output of Schreinerei Koch [...] able to tackle orders we would never have been able to take on before.” Previously, Schreinerei Koch worked with a smaller HOMAG processing center and a conventional angular plant for its window production [...] Koch also takes part in all kinds of invitations to tender – most recently clinching a contract for work on the listed Römer Town Hall building in Frankfurt. The north wing of this landmark town hall building

Networked Workshop (Part 2): Ready for the Future in Three Steps

A system of this nature provides a more efficient configuration for work preparation and reduces the number of manual steps [...] label with a barcode. The machines automatically obtain the necessary CNC programs and additional work steps, such as assembly or commissioning tasks, are simplified. At the same time, fewer errors occur [...] market. From the Customer Request to the Production Order The optimization of IT processes during work preparation is the focus of phase two. The key question is: "How do you get from the customer request

Integrated windows

HOMAG prides itself on precisely these three factors, working together with its partners tesa, Würth and Gutmann to develop the prototype for an integrated window [...] shown that the profiles can be reduced by a further 10% to obtain an even larger glass area. With wood/aluminum windows, the sash has become so narrow that it disappears behind the aluminum cover. The [...] production. Profiling the frame parts is easy and requires less machining and lower quantities of wood, thereby reducing tool costs too. Another key success factor is the creation of the adhesive bond

Unleash the full potential of production — application-related production optimization from the WEINMANN Academy

If [...] Global Customer Qualification, talk about frequent errors, optimized work paths and other factors The first steps in production begin in work preparation. This is where the CAD drawings of the construction [...] what factors have you observed in our customers' work preparation that can lead to a reduction in production efficiency?

The cabinet makers - Portrait of the Reichel carpentry

Only in the mid-1960s did things [...] why retired senior journeymen regularly work in the workshop to pass a few tricks on to younger colleagues. When colleagues are tinkering around with solid wood together, everyone’s eyes light up. Because [...] at the end of the day, everyone at Schreinerei Reichel is there for the same reason: to work together with wood. The family wants to actively pass on this passion to their six current apprentices and all

Truwood opens up new avenues with complete edgebanding package

The family owned and managed company has enjoyed consistent [...] however, we had never purchased any HOMAG machinery. For many years we had been using an old solid wood edge bander, but with laminates becoming more and more popular our old machine just wasn’t cutting [...] Truwood, our business is based mainly on bespoke solutions and therefore the edge bander can be working flat out one day, spasmodically another or requiring lots of different colour changes the next day
