PAT ON THE BACK FOR THE
TIMBER INDUSTRY
The government has won the applause of the
British Woodworking Federation (BWF) after it was
announced that a ban on wood waste to landfill
was not to be introduced. After a Defras Call for
Evidence last year revealed that the volume of
material ending up in landfill was smaller than
initially thought, has been declining steadily since
2009 and looks to continue, the decision was
made that at the present time a ban would create
an additional burden for businesses. BWF and the
Timber Trade Federation (TTF) highlighted the
work of the Timber Resource Efficiency Partnershiptowards the goal of reducing the total amount of
waste produced by the timber sector. On the
whole, BWF members are generally supportive of a
landfill ban, with most indicating that they found a
sustainable use for much of their wood waste.
Defra will continue to monitor the situation.
FIRA has welcomed a new Standards and
Regulatory Manager to their team. Tristine
Hargreaves has joined FIRAs team of
experts in technical standards for the
furniture industry, representing FIRA at BSI
technical committee level. Tristine worked
in the manufacturing sector for 11 years
and, more recently, 7 years in retail, giving
her a wealth of experience of the furnitureindustry. She will represent the industry at
Standards Committees in the UK and
throughout Europe.

SCHATTDECOR + PALIS = INDUSTRIAL DIGITAL PRINTER
Schattdecor, the dcor paper printer, has teamed up with Palis (Padaluma Inkjet-Solutions GmbH), a
digital print specialist, in an exclusive development partnership. For the next 2 years, the companies are
putting a new type of high-performance single-pass digital printer with a 225cm print width into
operation. Printing from roll to roll, the unit will have a working speed of 75-150m/min and be capable of
efficient and economic short run work. Dcor base paper will be used with pigments identical to those
used in rotogravure printing.
The Palis 750 unit has already shown that single-pass inkjet printers are ideal for the industrial scale
use in the dcor industry and the product series is to be expanded with the new Palis 2250.
Schattdecor has had a strong commitment to digital print dcors since 2009 and provided each of its
worldwide plants with 160cm-wide digital press in 2011. Last year it took a 2m-wide multi-pass digital
printer into operation and the exclusive partnership with Palis shows Schattdecor is keen to push the
progress of inkjet technology.
BASF ON SHOWBASF presented its broad portfolio of state-of-the-art
products for furniture and flooring coatings at the
European Coatings Show 2013 in Germany.
BASF is tackling the technical requirements of
modern wood coatings as demand is shifting from
solvent to water-based coatings without compromising
product properties. In the furniture and flooring
industry, coatings are used to protect and provide visual
effects for wood-based furniture around the house as
well as many different types of flooring.
For instance, the Laromer UA 9095, BASFs latest
addition to water-based UV-curable dispersions, is ideal
as a primer or topcoat on furniture and flooring. It has
high transparency and good grain enhancement and
can increase the vibrancy of the natural wood colours.With good abrasion resistance, high chemical resistance
Laromer UA 9095 is compatible with many dyes and is a
perfect binder for UV curable stains.

2013 was never destined to find aplace among the truly great ZOW
years. Despite the immeasurablybetter timing of ZOW at the beginningof the year, the sheer size of Interzumdominates the odd years, persuadingthe dcor and printing giants (and most
of the big names in hardware) to holdoff showing new designs until May. Butnot all followed the trend. TheHornschuch stand - which was awashwith visitors poring over the latestdesigns - proved beyond a shadow ofdoubt that buyers still want newproduct early in the year. Launching allits new product at ZOW with fewcompetitors to steal its thunder ratherthan waiting until May could prove tobe a very shrewd move for Hornschuch.The impending turmoil that some arepredicting from the lack of an overlap
between this years Interzum and Lignamay yet see a drop in visitors to theMay shows, as many of those whotraditionally visit both could find theprospect of two dead days between theevents difficult to justify.
Hornschuch was not alone in itsthinking. Senoplast also used theoccasion to launch new product andmany of the edgebanding specialistssaw ZOW as the ideal opportunity toannounce new products and team-upswith major laminate and board
producers. On the Ostermann stand,big news was its alignment to Pfleidererwith absolute matches proudly on showat the entrance to its stand. MKTannounced more new designs than Ican ever recall seeing in one show froman edgebanding manufacturer - and its
Alphatape Flexible could be the answerto the prayers of handleless doormanufacturers who want a product thatworks inside routed profile handles.

Right: Ja-De is a name you probably don't know. A manufacturer of custom-made
wood components to suit your needs, Ja-De makes solid wood chair parts, beds,

Below: The global adhesives specialist, Jowat, used ZOW 2013 as a platform tohighlight the performance of its Jowacoll dispersions, Jowat-Toptherm and
Jowatherm-Reaktant hotmelt adhesives. Jowat claims these products add extra
functionality, such as reduced flammability, a better gloss, improved surface
hardness and sustainability. Adhesives from the Jowacoll range are ideal for the
manufacture of flame-resisting doors while Jowatherm-Reaktant hot melt (the
colourless, transparent, crosslinking version) is designed to enhance the gloss level
of gloss finished products. Jowat-Toptherm is ideally suited to applications which
require enhanced impact resistance. For more information call

Full marks also to Union Knopf fortheir rugged Raw collection. As amajor supplier to the fashionistas of theapparel industry - an industry fromwhich trends tend to filter down -Union Knopf usually has a pretty goodinsight into whats coming up next in
fashionable circles and roughly-crafteddesigns are certainly enjoying arenaissance at the moment.
I have to say, I do enjoy heavy-weight texture - which is why I cannotresist a chance to grab some dramaticphotography on the VD Werkstttenstand. Texture does not get muchmore heavyweight than on VDWsmighty pressed dcor panels and therewere several new designs making theirdebuts at ZOW. Take a look at Blocks,Brickwood and Blockwood. They arejust fabulous for architectural use, or for
dramatic effect in hotel reception areas.ZOW 2013 seemed to be a
statement year for the glass industry. Asfar as I can recall, never have there beenquite so many producers of decorativeglass and mirrors showing laser etched,
printed, painted - and otherwisedecorated glass and mirror products.The message from Polish glass specialistFischmet was send us a picture andwell send you glass panels for wardrobedoors, kitchen doors, bathroomcabinets - whatever you need. Im not
wild about the idea of having giantcarrots emblazoned on my kitchencabinet doors and the two-metreorchids on the stand seemed overkillbut, with a little more subtlety in theinterpretation, imaginative manu-
facturers might well find a way to addvalue and profit to products for the UKmarket by using printed or etched glass.
In all, ZOW 2013 presented 402exhibitors from 27 countries, including60 first-time exhibitors from 15 differentcountries. At around 24,000m2 andwithout Hall 19, it was a smaller than
usual show but provisional figures showthat around 11,800 visitors came overthe four days - a third from outsideGermany. Most exhibitors we talked towere content with results - and that initself made for a good start to 2013.

Visitors to the Hornschuch standwere treated to a collectionwhich includes both award-
winning special purpose fabrics andperfectly matching dcors - the verylatest designs shown at an advanta-geously early timepoint in the year.
With few competitors to steal itsthunder, Hornschuch delightedvisitors with new metallic colours inits skai Sorisma EN fabric (back-ground) and matching films.
Rustic lovers will enjoy the newSanremo Oak with natural Legnoembossing, which enhances theruggedness of this dcor. But if rusticis your thing, dont miss Barrique Oakwith its glazed effect reminiscent oflimed finishes. The white pore struc-ture provides an alternative to otherwhite dcor options.
Contrasting with Sanremo, Yukonis a simple, timeless woodgrain with
finer structure which is accentuatedby slight discolourations. Yukon ismore a collection of the best ele-ments of several timbers, themed to
the current trends, than a specifictimber. Its very effective, nonetheless.
New in fantasy designs was theunashamedly retro Tosca, availablein Sahara, Mocca and Stone Grey.
For something completelydifferent, take a look at skai ColoreMagic. This plain film, with subtleiridescent metallic effects is a high-tech offer with an exciting planishedlook which provides metallic optionsin bronze, copper and steel. Its notdifficult to imagine it combined withskai Sorisma EN to fabulous effect.
Also new were ten colours to theskai Colore Classico embossed
uni-colours collection. Ecru, TruffleGrey, Cashmere, Coral Red andCurry are especially on trend.

ne of the biggest surprises atZOW 2013 was the presence ofColumbus. Available through
Coventry-based Ney Ltd, Columbus hasbeen making membrane presses for thelast 30 years and its range of equipmentencompasses mass production mem-brane presses, foil lamination machines
and machines for forming plastics andsolid surfacing materials.
On show at ZOW 2013 were a coupleof the companys smaller machines,designed for the small to mid-sizeworkshop. Although the machines on thestand had made some pretty complex,deep pressings, the Head of TechnicalSupport & Dev-elopment, ManfredMller, who is in charge of customersupport in the UK, confirmed theCombitherm on show was the standardmachine: But it is really two machines inone: a heating unit and a forming unit,he says. With this machine it is possibleto bend laminate. We also make biggerheating ovens of up to four metres andwe make bigger presses with vertical orswivel movement.
The entry level Columbus
Combitherm at ZOW had a 2880 x1280mm bed and was capable ofpressing components of up to 500mm inheight. We use a silicon membrane,explains Manfred. It is heat resisting upto 220C, which means it is capable ofbending timber components quite easily,as well as doors and other components.
The top level machines made byColumbus are typically anything up toeight metres in length with a bed widthof two metres, But we are currentlymaking a machine which is fifteenmetres long which offers cycle times ofbetween two and twenty minutes,depending on the glue.
Columbus also makes vacuum bags ofup to 3800 x 1200mm capable of

FunderMax Compact Interior panelsare high-pressure laminate panels(HPL) manufactured to standard EN438. Produced in laminate pressesunder high pressure at hightemperature, they are particularlysuitable for demanding applications,such as office furniture, wall cladding,cubicles and sanitary facilities and arange of decorative applications.
There are three variants: Max
Compact Interior panels, MaxAlucompact and Max Compact withWhite Core. Max Compact Interiorpanels come with dcors on both sides.The core is black and the surfaces areavailable in different structures.
The design of Max Alucompact (42,06) is the same as the Max Compact
Interior panel but Alucompact, as thename implies, has aluminium bandson both sides under the decorativelayers or in the core. This ensures thateven perforated panels are extremelystable. Furthermore, this panel typecan be used as wall cladding withoutrear ventilation. In furniture app-lications, the edges stand out asmodern design elements.
Though similar in form andfunction, Max Compact with WhiteCore is stylistically different: the panelcore remains a pure white. Colour
variations are possible, such as a blackcore. Fundermax advises clients tocompare the samples when using morethan one panel type. The dcor isalways the same on both sides.

More than eight million squaremetres of veneers, fourhundred cubic metres of
popular wood species and onehundred and forty species of timbermake Karlsruhe-based Schorn & Grohone of the leading lights in the veneerindustry. But, even though thecompanys Ehrenkirchen branch driesits own lumber and adds a furtherthousand cubic metres of sixty or morespecies to the Schorn & Groh offer,theres much more to Schorn & Groh
than wide range and huge stock. Thecompany is well-known for presentingits clients with rare and finely figuredgems, such as FSC-certified and PEFC-certified fiddle-back flitches, figuredveneers and other rareties.
Seekers of the unusual have cometo appreciate Schorn & Grohs excl-usive One-of-a-Kind collection. Theoutstanding veneer originals featureattractive grains, extravagant, eye-catching figuring and, in many cases,come with provenance and history: FireRoots, for example, is a Vavona burr
fli tch, fashioned from a 500-year-oldtree root from California which bearsthe traces of several forest fires. As withall veneers from Shorn & Grohsexclusive collection, this magnificentveneer can be acquired in its entirety.
Over its fifty-plus year history,Schorn & Groh has shown itself to bean innovator, right at the cuttingedge of veneer technology. Amongthe companys innovations is ButtCut, a razor-thin veneer, cut fromend grain wood. First seen in 2012,Butt Cut has developed into acollection of eight spectacular designvariations, all available in practicalsheets. Fleece on the rear of thecross-cut spliced veneer providesstability and simplifies processing.
Ethical sourcing is essential,especially sourcing of the more rareand beautiful veneers and timbersSchorn & Groh offers. The companypolicy is to support sustainable forestryand buy only in growing regions and
from partners who practise regulatedlogging and re-planting. Much of thecompanys stock is sourced fromEurope and North America which agood portion from plantations.

Quick-Step was revolutionary in theworld of laminated flooring because itmeant floorboards could be installedwithout glue. The boards are simply
angled and clicked and the job is done.The Quick-Step brand has sincebecome world famous and wonnumerous international awards.
In 2011, Unilin pooled all itsknowledge and expertise to expandthe revolutionary Uniclic technologyto include furniture. A tongue andgroove system allows furniture panelsto be clicked together at an angle of90 degrees. With this new applicationof Uniclic technology, Unilin won the
coveted biennial "Best of the Best"Interzum award for IntelligentMaterial & Design at the KeulenFurniture Trade Fair. Unilin has nowapplied the new joining system toClicBox, a range of kitchen carcases

This means that ClicBoxkitchen cabinets can be assembled upto five times faster than traditionalcabinets. As an added benefit theUniclic joints are stronger, more stableand invisible when compared withclassic screw joints.
With Cli cBox, Unil in combines itsunique click system with exceptionalquality. Both the panels - laminatedchipboard - and the finishes aredesigned in-house by Unilin in order to
guarantee that each and every cabinetmeets strict quality standards. A smartdrilling pattern ensures that cabinetsoffer plenty of options (four drawers,
five drawers, drawer line, etc), withoutthe need for extra holes to be drilled. In
addition, the drilling pattern is designedto match the most common types ofmount (Blum, Indaux and Hettich).Cabinets are hung on the wall with theaid of an invisible metal clip that - oncemore without the use of tools - clicksinto the back of the unit and can bepositioned at different heights.

Ifcastors are what you need, a trip tothe Guy-Raymond stand at Interzumis sure to be worthwhile.
Founded in 1948, Guy-Raymond hasbeen exhibiting at Interzum since 1989 -and since then, the company's exportbusiness has increased from 10% to60% of its turnover. Its all part of a
long-term strategy to expand thecustomer base. Aside from the UK, Guy-Raymond currently trades with 40countries: the bulk with Europe, butsubstantial sales are with North Americaand Australasia. This success has beenbuilt on the belief that you can't beatlocal knowledge, so the company has anetwork of overseas agents anddistributors, backed up by anexperienced multilingual export team.
A significant strength is the level ofvertical integration at Guy-Raymond.
All major processes are carried out in-
house at its modern 6,000-squaremetre factory in King's Lynn, wherecompliance with ISO 9001 and 14001ensure quality is strictly maintainedwhilst minimising environmentalimpact. This degree of integration
means that delivery lead times can besignificantly shorter than those ofcompetitors, and that flexibility intailoring product to specific customerrequirements is greatly enhanced.
An important factor in the success ofGuy-Raymonds export growth has beenthe success of the GRX castor range,
75% of which is sold outside the UK.Designed, developed and tooled withinthe company, this product range hasseen rapid take-up worldwide where itscontemporary design and strongtechnical performance are widelyappreciated. Having recognised thediverse applications of these products,the company offers a wide range ofbespoke colours and fixing options.
In recent years the GRX range hasbeen greatly extended with the additionof metallic finishes, anti-static productsand, most recently, anti-microbial
castors, which are of particular interestto the medical industry.
For Interzum 2013 Guy-Raymondhas relocated to Hall 5.2 stand F31where visitors will be able to discoverthe latest product innovations.

New ideas, new
trends, new dcors -
but a familiar
welcome from theSchattdecor team at
this years Interzum.
Faint cracks and a multitude of lively details give Bonifacio
Oak its distinctive character. The planking is subtle in effect.
Crossfires, small knots and narrow side-cut narrow crotch
figures are further features.
Loft is a fair-faced concrete dcor in a somewhat structured
layout featuring many of the details typical of the material.
Created for various applications, it is suitable for worktops, wall
surfaces and furniture elements alike.
Sibiu Larch has been given a
wire-brushed look for a
striking three-dimensional
effect. Alternating sections of
densely-packed and wide-spaced grain, various knots
and side-cut crotch figures
give the planked layout a
lively and rustic touch.
Rustic oak table-boards
provided the inspiration for
Beaufort Oak. The lively grainin the broad planking and the
large and small knots all
contribute to an extremely
natural look.
Tokaj Lime is a fine-grained
dcor offering elongated flame
figures, partial rays andattractive colour treatment.
Darker streaks introduce a
touch of interest in the
balanced composition.
Thanks to its arresting 3D
look, Sheffield Oak makes a
powerful visual impact, with
striking negative pores in the
growth lines and narrowfigures further contributing to
this effect. The dcor is
particularly attractive in dark
colourations.

Hettich's ArciTech drawer systemwas first previewed at Interzumin 2011. Firmly targeted at the
premium segment, it is arguably thebest drawer system ever made andcaused quite a stir. It is now availablein the UK.
ArciTech has been developed togive kitchen and furnituremanufacturers the ability to create
perfect drawers for different segmentsand every consumer need. Theluxurious action of the Actro runneroffers superb running smoothness,stability and soft-closure. The uniqueprism concept provides a profilegeometry which ensures exceptionallateral stability. Synchronised controlguarantees a co-ordinated runneraction and the perfectly-balancedSilent System for soft-closure gentlyshuts drawers while giving themmaximum loading capacity.
ArciTech features in Vertex, the
ground-breaking new modular kitchenfrom Nottingham kitchen studioMascari. Vertex is designed to stream-line the specification process whiledelivering a finished product of superbquality and ergonomics. Vertex features
a multifunctional wall unit whichincludes various appliance and storage
options which are concealed when notin use. Meanwhile, the other keyelement of Vertex, the island unit, isdevoted to food preparation, cookingand waste separation.
Hettich ArciTech was a naturalchoice for Vertex, as it optimisesstorage while being a pleasure to use.It is also aesthetically in keeping withthis very design-oriented concept.
Vertex al so uses two other Hett ichproducts, the soft-close Sensys hingeand the InLine P sliding door system.
Hettich UK marketing manager Colin
Patterson says: It is appropriate thatHettich, the pioneer of the soft-closedrawer, should take the whole drawersystem concept to a new level. Now thatconsumers have come to expect theirdrawers to slide back in place gently
with barely a murmur, the time is rightto exceed their expectations once more.
Vertex is just the sor t of concept tobenefit from ArciTech and we aredelighted to be working with such asinnovative studio as Mascari.
At Interzum, Hettich will display itsfu ll range of furn iture fi tt ings. Theexhibition will also be the launchpad
for new ranges of Hettich's ProDecor
handles and a new sliding/foldingdoors catalogue. Among Hettich'slatest sliding/folding door innovationsis TopLine XL - a concealed, premiumsliding door system which handlesdoors weighing up to 80kg. For softopening, soft closing, three-doorapplications, collision damping -whatever the scenario, TopLine XLworks beautifully and feels luxurious.The damping force is adjustable.
Hettich will be celebrating its125th anniversary at Interzum, saysColin Patterson. With such an
innovative and diverse product range,we are preparing for the future whilecelebrating the past.

Is it possible to apply a contour edge-banding by hand and get a good glue lineand a strong bond?
It is not possible to control glue tempera-ture at the point when the band is appliedto the panel and edge pressure withmanual machines. The edge force required
is more than a manual operator can applyconsistently. Automated machines are theonly real solution.
With stiffer banding materials, such as2mm and 3mm, the edgebanding has a
natural memory which will not conform tothe shape of the panel. How can manufac-turers avoid loose glue joints on smallradius corners?
The only way is to control the speed andpressure of the application system at cor-ners to ensure that the glue joint is allowed
to flash off while still under pressure. Thismeans specific speeds on corners. It is alsoimportant that the glue unit should beclose to the application point to preventthe glue cooling too much before the bandis applied to the panel. Good automated

systems automatically do this but manualand semi-automatic machines are as yetunable to provide this control, significantlylimiting the complexity of shapes whichcan be performed.
The butt join is a very precise operationrequiring accurate measurement, trim-ming and laying of the band but oftenbutt joints turn out loose. How is it pos-sible to avoid this problem?
A good operator can achieve acceptable
butt joins manually but this requiresconsiderable time - often as much as fiveto ten minutes depending on the operator-and it is difficult in production tomaintain this quality. Good quality auto-matic machines are able to perform thebutt join in 10 seconds and the qualityperfect with tolerance of 0-0.3mm.
How does one avoid the problem ofunsmooth glue application and ensurereliably tight glue line on tight corners?
The gluing system is the heart of anyedgebander but even the best glue systemwill perform poorly if inferior glue is used.The best solution is to use the best qualityglue available. The small extra cost of abetter glue is recovered many times insaved rework, better quality glue line, lowermachine maintenance, on-site replacementof faulty components and more.
What advice wold you give to manufac-turers who have not compromised on gluequality but are still experiencing problemswith adhesion on complex shapes?
The ideal glue system does not leavethe glue heating for extended periodsexposed to the atmosphere where theglue components will evaporate off anddiscolour. When glue components
evaporate off (noticeable by a glue smellin the atmosphere), the glue bond iscompromised and the glue line willdeteriorate and be more challenging oncomplex shapes. In the worst instance,the banding can fall off.
Is it possible to make reliably edgedcurved components on an edgebanderwhere the glue unit is some distance awayfrom the first pressure roller?
The ideal glue system would have the
glue unit as close as possible to the firstpressure roller so as to minimise anycooling of the glue before it is applied tothe panel. If this distance is too long,special long open-time glues are requiredto maintain the glue before it is applied.The disadvantage of such glues is thatthere is a longer time for the glue to setonce it is on the panel and, conse-quently, on tight corners the band willtend to pop at the transition points.
For manufacturers wanting to automate
the process of applying edgebands tocurved components, whats the return oninvestment likely to be?
Manual and semiautomatic machinesare inexpensive, typically 10,000-35,000. However, output is slow andquality variable. Fully automated CNC-machines are expensive and the compo-nent output means typically these can bejust ified when component value is veryhigh so long cycle times are reflected inthe value of the finished component.Fully automatic non-CNC Vector
machines use a unique process whichenables justification on a ROI basis onmuch lower component cost. They caneven be equipped with lifting systems,such as vacuum lifters, to cope with largeworksurfaces.
Gapping remains a problem with manual
and semi-automatic machines.
A good glue line and a strong bond.
Butt joins that take 5-10 minutes using manual
methods take 10 seconds with an automated
system and have tolerances of 0-0.3mm.

Vector
Revolution 180
The Vector Revolution 180 is the ideal solution for contour
edgebanding. The patented Vector operating system uses
the panel shape to calculate its path and, hence, requires no
programming. This unique system means that the Vector
Revolution 180 can be used in Nested Based Manufacturingsetups - ideal for material recovery when processing shaped
panels. The Sidewinder trimmer unit and glue joint scraper
mean all processes are completed simultaneously leading to
exceptionally short cycle times - typically 1-2 minutes per
panel. It is ideal for high production with short runs of each
shape. Designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind, the
Vector control screen shows the operating manual in video
format with a simple, icon-based index system used to findshort video clips quickly to help the operator. Simple to
operate and fast, the Vector means perfect countour

Weinig is set to present its solidwood processing technologyin Hall 12 on a stand
featur ing 30 exhibi ts spread across3,800m2. The Holz-Her stand will bedirectly adjacent in Hall 11, underliningthe expertise of the Weinig Group inthe processing of timber products.
The Powermat planer series will beshown in full with the 600, 1200, 2400and 2500 models. Demonstrations willinclude an angled spindle, vertical
floating spindle and 3D structuring.The new back-pressure systemprevents snipes and dips at the
final lower spindle.MemoryPlus is a new entry-level
control system for customers with asmall variety of profiles. The EasySet
function corrects any measuring errorson the tool quickly and easily andallows the mobile spindle (as well as achamfering unit) to be controlled, orglazing beads to be separated.
Al so new on the stand wi ll beWein ig s la test pointed tooth ro ller
(2.0), which offers better grip throughlower contact pressure and reducesindentations in the wood, and a new90 chamfering unit with axles that areindependent of the spindles. Theinstallation at a 90 angle allows the
production of chamfers with curvesand radii.
Further developments have beenmade to both the Cube and thePowermat - such as a new automaticstacker for the Cube, easier operationand an improved splitting wedge system.
Making its debut will be the Con-turex Compact. The new model extendsthe Conturex series and incorporatessuch features as frequency converters to
facilitate demand-oriented drive.
Stand visitors will note the newMultirex generation now has anexternal tool magazine with a length of6.5m - and its own axle. Transfer of thetool to the tool holder can now beaccomplished without loss of time.
Weinig wi ll be exh ibit ing what i sbelieved to be the world's first fully-automated pre-cutting system, Optilink.OptiLink is a software solution for 2Doptimization. The line will include aCombiScan 200 R scanner for ripsawingand cutting, a ProfiRip 450 speedoptimizing circular saw and an OptiCut
450 FJ+ III high-speed optimizing cross-cut saw with ST 10-1500 automaticstacker. The entire system is connectedvia the OptiLink software.
Wein ig wi ll al so be presenting anew range of accessories for pushfeed
saws in Hannover. These will enablework processes that follow cutting tobe further automated or integratedinto the process. The new Superdrillunit, for example, combines the workprocesses of cutting/drilling andcutting/milling in a single pass.
Whilst the ProfiRip 450 and 310 andthe FlexiRip 3200 saws have beenenhanced, there will be two brand newband saws, the BK60 and the BK80. Thenew band saw reaches feed rates of up
to 60m/min in standard configurationand up to 80m/min with the high-performance package. Also on show willbe the new Powerjointer 8 finger jointer(8 connections to be centrally milledand pressed per minute) and acomplete package finger jointing line,the Ultra 2000 for incoming lengths of2000mm. Visitors interested in fingerjointing will be able to see more at the
Alfeld plant, not far from Hannover.Weinigs new double-end machine
reinforces the companys intention tobecome a complete provider. The
double-end machine allows Weinig toaddress companies in the furniture,board, window, flooring, insulation,construction timber and solid woodindustries.

013 is predicted to be anotheryear of massive growth at the
Felder Group. Despite stagnationin the economy over the past fewyears, with investment in the factory,new production techniques, productsand machines, Felder has continued togo from strength to strength.
At the annual January New Year'sMeeting, Mr Hansjrg Felder announcedthe start of a wave of new products thatwere to be launched in 2013. The firstrelease of products included the newlydesigned range of 900 series andFormat-4 planer thicknessers.
In autumn 2012, the new Felder
D963 was presented, with 630mmthicknessing width and a wealth of highquality standard specifications includingpower drive adjustment. Then inJanuary this was followed up with thelaunch of the new A951, AD951, Dual
51 and Plan 51. A simplified design forthe lifting of the planing tables and a
more solid machine chassis are just twoof the immediately noticeableimprovements. Numerous changes havebeen made to the machines and, saysthe Felder Group, this is only the start.
At Ligna in Hannover this year, theFelder Group will be launching anunprecedented number of newmachines. These will range frommachines for the hobbyist through toCNC machining technology. With over1300m2 of exhibition space, this yearsevent will present the largest stand everand Felder looks forward to welcoming
you there. Felder will be situated in Hall14 on the following stands: K01, H06,J06, K12, H14, J14 and K14
