PANEL & JOINERY PRODUCTIONWOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL OURREADERS, CONTRIBUTORS ANDADVERTISERS A VERY MERRYCHRISTMAS & A HAPPY,PROPEROUS NEW YEAR

The MAKA team proudly celebrated its

60th anniversary this September, in

Nersingen, bringing together all staff,

partners and customers in Nersingen.

Celebrating its 60th anniversary this month,

Klaus Kern, Dipl.-Ing. (FH) has taken the helm

as CEO, reinforcing the company’s strong

engineering heart.

The company’s renewed focus on

engineering and customer-focused solutions

for plastics, aluminium and Wood has

proved successful with strong sales in all key

markets, here in the UK and Germany. The

company is back up to strength, with 130

employees, and Turnover in excess of ¤ 20m

in 2012, and growing.

Mr Kern brings a wealth of experience from

automotive and aerospace engineering, having

previously been Chief Engineer at MMB (now

EADS) and latterly as CEO of a special

machine tool manufacturer.

He also headed the development and

construction division of an internationally

renowned, market-leading model railway

company, with annual sales in excess of ¤100m.

Based in Ulm, Germany, MAKA Systems

enjoys a long tradition in providing tailor-

made CNC solutions. As the specialist in its

field, MAKA enjoys an excellent reputation

world-wide.

“We are currently experiencing a very strong

demand for our custom-built 5-axis CNC

solutions and we’ve started the second half of

2012 with a record order book.” says Kern.

“Recently, we received several large orders

from various industries, including the

Joinery sector, along with the automotive

and racing industries. They are very

demanding projects, with very demanding

and particular customers. However, our

concepts and the quality of both products

and especially the service provided by our

employees, has proven to be reliable and

compelling”, says Klaus Kern.

Reinhard Hiller, who heads MAKA’s

production and assembly division, added “As a

result of MAKA Systems’ high order book,

much attention has focused on delivering on

time, with the superior MAKA quality-

standards that customers are used to. To

achieve this ambitious goal, all divisions of the

company have to work closely together”, says

Reinhard. “After two satisfying years in 2010

and 2011, both financially and operationally,

the management team around Klaus Kern is

confident that 2012 will be another successful

year for MAKA Systems.”

International Sales Director Stefan Stark,

added “Each customer has very specific and

individual requirements. We are committed

to live up to our challenging customers’

demands and achieve their specific

expectations".

Maka continues developing products, and

new sector-specific machine concepts, is also

adding another emphasis for 2012/13: to

develop and improve energy efficiency,

productivity and the safety of MAKA’s

Specialist pattern makers to the oil

industry David Scott and Company

Limited of Huddersfield approached

Daltons Wadkin in order to increase

their CNC machining capacity and to

update their production methods.

Resulting from this Alex Dalton arranged

a meeting with proprietor David Scott

during which the unique space efficient 5-

axis technology of the Greda Diva was

highlighted together with the machine’s

comparatively large Z-axis capacity. In spite

of its performance and capability the Greda

Diva occupies no more than 9 square

metres of floor space.

Mr Scott already has a machine shop

containing many conventional as well as

CNC machines including existing Wadkin

models and this factor together with their

Huddersfield location which is

comparatively close to Daltons Wadkin’s

home base in Nottingham contributed to

Mr Scott’s decision to place the order.

The company’s principal

clients are manufacturers of

pumps for the oil industry, a

fairly unique application but

one which requires David

Scott to have the technology

and production methods to

meet fluctuations in demand

which can at times be difficult

to meet.

Alex Dalton commented

“We are delighted to have the

opportunity of placing our first

Greda Diva with another locally

based family business. This is

a high quality and very versatile CNC

machine which ticks all the boxes for a

manufacturer like David Scott. We

managed to arrange for Greda engineers to

install the machine in company with our

own engineering team and the purchase

has already had a substantial and beneficial

influence on their business.”

In today’s challenging economic

climate buying a used rather than a

new machine can sometimes be a

sensible move. This was the case when a

firm of specialist engravers chose a

five-year-old refurbished Striebig

vertical panel saw, supplied by the

manufacturer’s sole UK agent.

James Wilson (Engravers), trading as

Matt Black Systems, carries out general

industrial engraving, specialising in the

production of engraved panels used widely

in aerospace control systems.

When a fire in an adjacent business unit

caused extensive smoke damage to its

premises in Poole, Dorset two years ago,

the company took the opportunity to

upgrade its existing machinery, which

included a flat bed circular saw.

Explained engraving shop manager

Roger Excell: “The saw was not very safety

friendly because of its exposed blade. As

well as needing to improve our Health &

Safety, the saw’s small table was not

conducive for cutting large panels.”

For example, it needed three men to

manoeuvre a 20mm thick 2 x 1m panel

onto the saw’s bed and hold it firmly in

place whilst sawing off small pieces.

Tasked with investigating possible

alternatives Mr Excell began by carrying out

on-line research. By this time it had been

decided to switch to a vertical panel saw

because of the safety and space-saving

advantages.

Mr Excell talked to eight possible

suppliers about machine capabilities and

prices as well as training and after sales

service, before coming up with a shortlist of

three. This included T.M. Machinery Sales,

sole UK agents for Striebig, whose

subsidiary company T.M. Services

refurbishes and services the Swiss–made

saws.

“After liking what I had read and heard

about T.M. I went along to see a Striebig in

action at a local company and had a useful

discussion with the saw’s operator,” said Mr

Excell.

This clinched the decision to buy a five-

year-old Striebig Compact 4164, which T.M.

Services had stripped down and totally

refurbished so that it looked and performed

as if it was brand new.

“I had no objection to buying a used

machine as long as I knew it had been

totally factory refurbished,” said Mr Excell.

“The Compact matched all the criteria we

had set for size, capabilities - it can handle

the largest panels we use - and price.

“It was by far the most cost-effective

machine we looked at for the type and

amount of work we wanted it to do, and

with its totally enclosed blade it’s as safe to

use as a saw can possibly be.”

Said T.M. Services’ director Matt Pearce:

“We only supply

second-hand Striebig

machines that we are

sure will give many

more years reliable

service.

“All machines

undergo a

comprehensive

refurbishment with

older machine being

completely stripped

down so that all

bearings and other

parts subject to wear

can be replaced. Our

confidence in our

refurbished

machinery is backed up by a six-month

parts and labour warranty.”

Installed in September 2011, the

Compact cuts Perspex, laminate and

aluminium panels ranging from 1mm to

20mm thick.

It’s used mainly to form small pieces

from 150mm sq up to 300 x 200mm, with

up to a dozen pieces produced at a time.

These go to a CNC mill for machining, then

to the paint shop and on to the engraving

department. The saw also sizes the

occasional MDF panel and piece of solid

timber.

“We have become more efficient as it’s

now a one-man job to size even the largest

panel, releasing staff to do other jobs,” said

Mr Excell. “The Striebig is an extremely

robustly made saw with a powerful motor

and frame which is rock solid when in use

and delivers a clean, accurate and true cut

every time, whatever the sheet material.”

The space released by replacing the flat

bed saw has been used to house a second

CNC milling machine.

With the saw T.M also supplied and

installed an AL-KO twin-bag AAS 2000

mobile dust extractor unit. This reduces the

amount of dust in the air during sawing to

an absolute minimum.

Striebig’s Compact 4164 is one of nine

models in the Compact series with a cutting

range from 3100 x 1644mm up to 5350 x

2200mm. An automatic feed series, the

Compact AV, is also available. They are all

based on a single, fully welded sawing

frame to give decades of reliable service

whilst maintaining cutting precision.

The saws can be wall-mounted or

freestanding. They can cut practically all

wood-based sheet materials as well as

timber, plaster board, plastics, composites

and aluminium panels. They guarantee

impressive dust limit values well below

1mg/m3.

LOW VISCOSITY WOOD PENETRATION PRIMER

TIMBERSEAL PS is a low viscosity, solvent free epoxy wood primer which penetrates intotimber saturating it before curing. Its primary use is as a primer under other coatings but it canalso be used for the restoration of old timber by the resin impregnation technique or in newconstruction as a pre-treatment for epoxy glued joints.

Low viscosity and slow cure promotes penetration into timber Natural tall (wood) oil in the hardener provides flexibility andcompatibility with timber.Excellent adhesion to teak and even to damp wood, far greater thanconventional primers.Economical, no more expensive than many conventional coatings.

TIMBERSEAL PS is preferably applied to dry wood but willadhere well to damp timber. However a high moisturecontent will prevent TIMBERSEAL PS soaking into the wood.

TIMBERSEAL PS has a pot life of 1.5 hours at 20oC butwill remain fluid on a timber surface for several hours. Thehardener contains a wood oil that gives TIMBERSEAL PSnatural flexibility and toughness combined with thestrength and durability of epoxy.

APPLICATION TIMBERSEAL PS must be mixedthoroughly. Either mix all of the resin with all of thehardener or it you are unable to use all of the materialwithin its pot life, weigh out resin and hardener in theproportions specified on the label. Ensure that the materialis mixed well. TIMBERSEAL PS should be applied liberally by brush, roller or spray to clean timberthat is free from oil or other contamination. In order to saturate the wood with resin it should bere-applied as it soaks into the timber.

OVER-COATING TIMBERSEAL PS must be over-coated within the times shown in the tablebelow according to the ambient temperature and the hardener used. If it is allowed to curebeyond the maximum over-coating time glossy areas must be abraded before applying furthercoatings.

Within two years of purchasing two

sanders from Kündig, one for the

veneer shop and one for the spray

shop, top quality bespoke joinery

manufacturer TMJ Interiors came back

to Kündig to purchase a third sander,

a Brilliant-2 1600 RC-d, in order to be

able to sand and finish overwidth

panels.

This purchase was made in response to a

particular contract, which required the use

of larger than standard boards, and, says

production director, Pat Coll, having the

sander in place has undoubtedly assisted in

winning other contracts: “If any other jobs

come along requiring the finishing of wide

boards, we are already set up for it.”

The machine was delivered and

commissioned over Easter 2009.

Established in 1981 by James Taylor, TMJ

Interiors is a leader in the specialist joinery

and interior fit-out industry. With a work

force in excess of 120, quality is of

paramount importance to the company:

“We always strive to use the latest

technology, as this improves the final

product, which is what we are all about,”

commented Pat.

Over the years, TMJ has been involved in

many prestigious projects. Just a few of

those listed on the company’s website are

Nomura; Symantec; Microsoft MSN;

Windsor Castle; St Edmundsbury

Cathedral; the Royal Festival Hall; and the

Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

All demand only the best in terms of

quality of finish and workmanship, and this

is what TMJ is always seeking to deliver.

TMJ turned to Kündig when the need to

finish overwidth

panels arose: “because we’d got two other

Kündig sanders and we were very happy

with them.”

The two sanders Pat refers to had been

purchased as the result of a drive in 2007 to

improve the calibration, pre sanding and

finishing of both joinery based and panel

based products. Pat had travelled to the

Ligna show in Hannover, Germany, with

company owner James Taylor to view and

assess the relevant machinery. One of the

stands visited was Kündig’s, which had on

display a number of wide belt sanding

machines, demonstrated by Stephan

Kündig: these included three machines

fitted with oblique as well as traditional

sanding heads for calibration and for

veneers.

Following these demonstrations, a

meeting was arranged for the following

morning with a view to a more in depth

discussion regarding TMJ’s actual

requirements, and was followed by a visit in

June 2007 to Kündig’s main

manufacturing facility in Switzerland. Pat

comments, “I went over to Switzerland and

looked at the machines running and the

finishes were better than anything else I

had seen: they were top quality, and that is

what we are after.”

Indeed, it was on the strength of this visit

that the order was made in 2007 for not

one machine, as originally was intended,

but two: the first, the five head Kündig

Botop Brilliant-X 1350 QREEd-R machine

featuring oblique sanding heads was

destined for the veneer shop, while the

second, a Brilliant-2 1350 Cd+Ed lacquer

sanding machine equipped with two

oblique sanding heads, is in the spray shop.

When the need arose to sand and finish

panels wider than 1,350 mm, Pat says, TMJ

had two options: hand finishing, which

would be a time consuming process, or

investing in a third sander specially

designed to accommodate wider panels.

Delighted with the finish that was being

achieved on the two existing sanders, TMJ

turned to Kündig UK for a

recommendation.

The advice received led to an order for

the new Kündig Brilliant-2 1600 RC-d

machine, supplied with a 18.5 kW (25 hp)

motor to the first head, a second ‘Combi’

head with segmental pad (to cater for the

occasional large veneered panel), 15 kW (20

hp), and an infeed table and outfeed table.

As with all Kündig sanders, this is a fixed

bed machine which allows the infeed and

outfeed tables to give full support,

regardless of the thickness of the workpiece

being machined. The sanding group

adjusts to the thickness of the material,

offering a generous 200 mm working

height.

The standard specification on the

Brilliant machine included electronic

variable feed speed of 3-15 m/min, vacuum

bed, not only a colour touch screen control

but also with manual operating elements,

all conveniently situated for operator ease

of use. The contact roller lifts automatically

when just the segmental pad is used to

ensure safe passage of the panel through

the machine. Operations managed from the

A Brilliant Hat Trick for TMJ Interiors

NEWSINSTALLATION

Botop Brilliant-x 1360 QREEd

control panel include sanding head

selection and infinitely variable stock

removal. The Brilliant also offers Enormatic

automatic setting of the working height

over the width of the work piece, and the

ECO energy saving mode ensures that the

machine goes into a ‘standby phase’ when

not in use and automatically switches off if

not used over a set period of time.

Over the past few years, the Kündig

Brilliant-2 1600 has been invaluable for

various projects: for example, KPMG, Man

Group and Nomura.

Completed in FSC Teak Veneer, the

interior fit out of Nomura was the largest

and fastest fit out of its time, covering

546,000 ft2 split over six floors and being

completed in a period of just eight months.

Work included wall panelling, doorsets,

credenzas, AV walls, reception desks and

coats cupboards: with such a tight

timescale, complete reliability was essential,

and here the Kündig sanders came into

their own.

The specialist joinery fit out of Man

Group showcases TMJ Interiors’ excellent

craftsmanship and quality and again, the

Kündig sanders were vital to the delivery of

this project. This fit out included a feature

wall, wall panelling, a

reception desk, banquette seating and a

brain storming area as well as a bar.

KMPG’s “Project Gold” at Canary Wharf

featured many specialist finishes and the

quality of the finish provided by the Kündig

sanders on a wide range of surfaces again

played a key role. This project included

doors, coat cupboards, a coffee bar area, a

concierge desk, mobile desks, a

reception area, a bar area and an

executive dining room.

All this is in addition to many high

profile commercial and high end residential

projects, that TMJ is unable to disclose due

to client confidentiality.

To ensure that all three machines keep

working at a standard that produces the

quality that TMJ demands, the company

has an annual service contract with Kündig

UK.

To say that Pat is delighted with the

standard of finish that the Kündig

machines achieve is probably an

understatement, as anyone who speaks to

him will soon find out. When asked if he

would recommend Kündig, his reply was,

“Yes, and I probably have.”

He continued, “We do have a good

relationship with Carl and have been happy

to take groups around our factory for tours

and demonstrations.”

A preferred routing, cutting and

engraving solution in the general

woodworking, joinery, panel

processing and furniture production

industries, the AXYZ 4008 router from

AXYZ International has provided the

perfect answer to the precise cutting

of polycarbonate and aluminium sheets

at Somerset-based Teklagraf. However,

these are only two of a wide range of

materials on which the router has

performed successfully, including

solid and particle woods, metals and

various alloys.

The AXYZ machine installed at the

3000 square feet facility incorporates a

dual cutting head, camera registration

system and the latest A2MC machine

controller. Teklagraf director Don Towie

commented: ‘The machine was purchased

primarily for knife cutting polycarbonate

and for routing small shapes in

aluminium. Due to the camera registration

system, shapes can be cut more quickly

without having to align the material when

placed on the routing table.’

The AXYZ 4008 has a processing area of

2,440mm (length) x 1,466mm (width). The

router is supplied as standard with the

A2MC machine controller that is said to

offer the highest possible control

capabilities by comparison with any

similarly positioned system. It delivers

much faster and smoother motion based on

S-Curve (Seven Segment Velocity)

trajectories, leading to a significant

reduction in ‘bounce’ and vibration caused

by sudden acceleration or deceleration that

is often found with other control systems.

The controller is also fully NC code-

compatible and will therefore work with all

popular CAD/CAM packages.

For AXYZ router owners, the learning

curve for the A2MC controller is made

easier since the system functions in a

similar fashion to the existing AMC

controller. This allows a natural progression

for AXYZ customers who want either

upgrades or new machines. Furthermore,

there are no limits to the size and

complexity of the work that can now be

undertaken. Tests on three-dimensional

surfacing files in excess of 80MB have been

carried out with no operational issues

experienced.

AXYZ routers also provide a host of

optional peripheral production tools. These

include a recently expanded Automatic Tool

Change (ATC) facility, the latest AXYZ

Vision System (AVS), the new helical rack

and pinion drive system and a wide choice

of tangential and oscillating cutting knives,

drill heads, automatic vacuum switching

and twin or triple cutting heads.

AXYZ International is renowned for its

technical and after-sales support facilities

and these were much in evidence at

Teklagraf. Don Towie added: ‘The service

provided by the AXYZ team of engineers,

before, during and after installation, was

excellent.’

W12 REVIEW

The theatre in the Working With

Design area was the venue for the

presentation of the Design in

Manufacturing Awards (DIMA) at W12.

Curvomatic were unanimously awarded

the winning award by the panel of judges.

Five entrants were shortlisted with EDP

and the Movac Group as runners up. The

two highly commended awards were given to

Trade Mouldings and FINSA.

DIMA Award Winners

The quote in the headline was from

first time exhibitors Curvomatic on a

tweet from the show. It pretty much

reflected the entire mood of the twin

exhibitions Working with Wood and

Working with Design.

By the time the shows ended on Wednesday

afternoon October 10 there were “Sold at W12”

signs displayed on many stands.

Exhibition Director Angela McGowan

reports that attendees maintained the strong

showing from the previous exhibition and

that with both Monday and Wednesday

being busier than in previous years, the all

important number of companies attending

looks set to exceed expectations.

Perhaps the most telling statistic about

the reaction of exhibitors and the

importance that they attach to the

exhibitions is that 70% of the space for the

W14 exhibition has already been booked!

W14 will take place at the NEC in the same

halls 6, 7 and 8 from October 5 – 8, 2014.

Overall both exhibitions gave an

invaluable opportunity for the industry to

meet face to face, to exchange ideas, share

information and discuss future plans and

opportunities.

The overall mood by the end of the

show…well it was definitely roll on W14!

W12 – “Could it get any better?”

Curvomatic is a new material developed for the

manufacture of curved moulds/formers.

It made it's debut at W12. The Curvomatic System is an All-

in-One, fully re-useable mould library developed for the

manufacture of any curve. Initially developed for

Woodworking, the easy-to-use moulding system can replace,

or be used in conjunction with, a hydraulic or vacuum press.

Curvomatic arms tradesmen and manufacturers with a simple

method to construct moulds of any size to produce perfect

curved panels. All that is required is the Curvomatic kit which

includes the Curvomatic sections and the Curvomatic straps.

Leading British supplier of foils,

handles, edging materials, veneers and

other components, EDP, were part of a

final shortlist for the Design in

Manufacturing Awards. EDP were

included in the final list for their

entry of the exceptional Cosma top trim

handle for dressing cabinet doors.

EDP’s innovative stand allowed visitors to

view, touch and experiment with the latest

trends in surfaces in as much as they were

able to move samples and displays around to

match and compare on the stand. The

exhibit also included the latest handle styles

from Italian design house Cosma as well as

chair and table legs from Cieffe. EDP are

also a leading supplier of edgebanding

products and quality veneers.

EDP’s Terry Willett explains: “Our

leading foil supplier Klockner Pentaplast of

Germany is working on far reaching décor

projects for 2013 and beyond where surfaces

include special effects like saw cut and cross

grain. There are also fascinating plays on

colour and hue with deep grain embossing

now a real possibility”.

Terry Willett says that EDP’s participation

at the W12 Working with Design at the NEC

in October was a landmark event for the

company where everything on the stand was

a new introduction to the UK market. The

exhibition brought them into direct contact

with many smaller manufacturers who were

Awards at the recent W12

Working with Design

exhibition at the NEC. The

award was made to Rafael

Willisch, MD of FINSA UK

for the groundbreaking

new SuperPan STAR high

performance lightweight

board.

The FINSA stand focused on two distinct aspects of theircontemporary production – lightweight board products and the verylatest colours and trends in melamine surfaces that reflect all thecurrent international trends seen at the latest worldwideexhibitions.

SuperPan STAR has been developed in conjunction with Germanchemical giant BASF so that the chipboard core is infused with thenew Kaurit LIGHT polymer substance in a foamed process thatresults in a high performance board that is up to 30% lighter thanother SuperPan or chipboards but machines in exactly the sameway and offers superior performance in terms of bending orsagging characteristics.

The advantages to manufacturers are multifold and the KauritLIGHT polymer component offers further environmentalconsiderations.

FINSA also involved themselves further in the W12 event bydelivering a number of seminars at the exhibition in the specialPresentation Theatre area.

W12 REVIEW

Daltons Wadkin put in place a display

to increase brand awareness at W12.

The exhibition was the second

opportunity for the company to show

off its unique range of machinery

since their acquisition of the Wadkin

name and IPR in 2010.

The demand for both their machine

range and support services is according to

director Francis Dalton increasing by the

day and W12 was as he puts it “A great

opportunity to not only re-establish the

Wadkin name but also to highlight the

presence of the Daltons Wadkin company

and all that it represents to the

woodworking industry. This involves

machine manufacture, machine

distribution and a whole range of support

services including service and aftercare,

training, transport, machine movement and

installations and LEV testing.”

Visitors to the stand would immediately

have seen one result of the Daltons and

Wadkin names coming together in the

striking new colour scheme of green and

white applied to all machines either

manufactured or remanufactured in their

Nottingham headquarters as well as

Wadkin branded machines manufactured

elsewhere in Europe.

In addition some very important

distribution agreements were highlighted.

Amongst the additional machines

represented were the Elcon Vertical Panel

Saw range, Stenner Band Resaws, Kuper

Planer/ Moulders, Salvador Automatic

Crosscutting Systems and Kimla CNC

Machining Centres.

Working demonstrations have were

made available to visitors on a number of

these products and others powered up

electronically to

demonstrate the respective

machines’ technology

and capabilities.

At the same time the company

highlighted its comprehensive support

services package which embraces a team of

some 15 experienced engineers who travel

the length of the UK, Ireland and overseas

supporting service contracts and providing

breakdown cover for an infinite variety of

clients from one man joinery businesses to

public authorities and even ministry

departments.

Daltons Wadkin had also this year taken

an additional stand in order to show off

another of their products, ie the Nimac

range of Beam Saws. A Nimac Atlas 95 was

displayed as an example from a

comprehensive range of Beam Saws

manufactured by the Nimac Group for

which Daltons Wadkin are sole UK

distributors. Also on hand, a technician

from Nimac to support the products and

provide a necessary link with the Daltons

Wadkin sales team.

Firm orders have already been placed

with Daltons Wadkin for a number of

major exhibits including a remanufactured

Wadkin XE 6-Head Planing

and Moulding Machine, a new

Wadkin PBR/HD Band Resaw and a Nimac

Beam Saw. Strong interest has also been

expressed in the Salvador Crosscutting

Systems, the ‘new generation’ Kuper

Planer/Moulders and in particular the

unique Kimla CNC Routers.

W12 REVIEW

Overall, SCM Group UK had a very

good W12 exhibition, with many orders

and enquiries received over the 4 open

days on their stand that had a wide

range of machines on display from

SCM's Premium range.

SCM's Trade Account Manager, Roger

Gabb, commented "We were very busy on

all 4 days with many customers visiting our

stand to view the latest developments in the

SCM range of Premium Division

machines. Our demonstrators were always

kept busy which in turn led to orders for

CNC Machining Centres, Edge Banders,

Planer Moulders and Classical machines,

with several being delivered direct to

customers from the stand after the show."

The Pratix 'S' CNC Machining Centre

was very popular, being an entry level CNC

machine for the nesting of full size 8 x 4ft

panels into component parts, and at a price

that is very affordable and includes software

for easy programming on the machine.

Minimal floor space is required so the

machine is excellent for manufacturers

with a limited factory floor space.

With 3 Edge Banders on display and

running, the K260 EVO, K600 and S1000,

several machines were sold as melamine

tape, 3mm PVC/ABS and solid wood

lippings were applied to show the excellent

quality of finish obtained including corner

rounding. On the K600, the RT-E panel

edge trimming device provides a perfect

edge to the panels before edge gluing, due

to the use of the front copying devices that

allows a constant removal of material over

the entire panel length, maintaining the

same work piece geometry, and also

includes the ED-SYSTEM high efficiency

exhaust hoods.

The new Profiset 60 Planer Moulder

demonstrated is designed to be very sturdy

with up to 6 spindles available and has a

generous 230 x 120mm capacity, with feed

speeds of 6 / 12 or variable 4 -24

metres/min. The new feed system using

Cardan joints and gearboxes is the

technological heart of this machine

providing higher productivity and an even

better finish to the

timber. Distinctive

features include

pneumatic pressure on

the feed rollers and the

inverter for continuous

speed control

guaranteeing powerful,

efficient and linear

feeding. Profiset 60 is

equipped with a pre-

straightening system

through the reference

engraver located on the

bottom planer spindle.

Making its' UK debut

was the Tech Z5 CNC

Machining Centre. With a 5-axis routing

head, it has a table area of 5200 x 1550mm

and is ideal for the production of

customised furniture components and for

the machining of panels. It can also be

equipped with devices suitable for solid

wood machining especially for joinery

companies that manufacture stairs and

doors. High performance is guaranteed

with the "photo bumpers" safety protection.

Maximum operator convenience and

flexibility of use is due to the "PRISMA 5"

routing head that allows easy operation in

a reduced space without the risk of

collisions. Performance and overall

dimensions ratio due to technical

solutions such as the bumpers safety

protections and the electric cabinet that is

located within the machine base.

Several machines from the SCM

Classical and Minimax ranges were

displayed, with the TI 155EP Class Spindle

Moulder and SI 400EP Class Sliding Table

Panel Saw particularly popular. Minimax

machines also displayed were very popular

with the smaller joinery manufacturers.

W12 has also been an opportunity to

show the new operating system for the

SCM Premium Division now in place

around the World. Under the new

organisation, the SCM Distributor network

has a much higher involvement in the sale

and servicing of SCM Premium Division

machines, offering customers a more

personalised approach. The ten SCM UK

Distributors are usually no more than one

hours drive away from their customers,

guaranteeing a fast response to sales

enquiries and servicing requests. Also, they

complement their portfolio with other non-

SCM products, something that most

competitors cannot offer. Distributors

represent a "One stop shop" opportunity

which simplifies the running of small and

medium size manufacturers in the

woodworking industry. You can find the

closest SCM Group Partner visitingwww.scmgroup-uk.com/en/contacts_distributors

Roger Gabb concludes "Considering the

economic climate, we were very pleased

with the W12 exhibition, with small and

medium sized manufacturers prevalent,

who were looking to invest with the latest

technology now or over the next few

months. Our excellent relationship with our

Distributors who attended our stand

contributed to our success and we will be

very busy visiting existing and new

customers found at the show during the

next few weeks to close more orders."

The PRATIX ‘S’ CNC machining centre was very popular

Malcolm Cuthbertson, MD of Weinig

UK in Abingdon, was highly satisfied

with the sales and record number of

quality enquiries received on the stand

at W12. The Rubik’s Cube drew by far

the most number of customers, with

non-stop demonstrations from start to

finish. A record number of orders are

expected when enquiries are followed

up – additional to those placed at the

exhibition. Other Weinig machines on

the stand also attracted interest and

orders – the advanced technology of

the 3D profiling Powermat was an ‘eye

opener’ to many moulder users opening

up new business opportunities.

Holz-Her products on show also

impressed visitors by their advanced

technology, innovative features and quality.

The edgebander technology in particular,

attracted a lot of attention. The unique Glu

Jet System clearly distances Holz-Her from

others with its outstanding benefits: no

glue pot, high precision, takes only 3

minutes to heat up and colour changes in

no time at all. Holz-Her’s other machines:

CNC routers, wall saws and beam saws

attracted significant enquiries indicating

the demand for a competitive range of

quality machines supported by prompt,

individual expert advice on solutions

backed up by after-sales service from

W12 REVIEW

This year, W12 the national trade

exhibition for furniture & joinery

manufacturers, divided itself into two

categories, Working with Wood plus a

new category Working with Design

held within a designated area

specifically created for suppliers of

design led materials and components

for the industry.

High technology coatings supplier Movac

Group Limited stole this show this year

exhibiting within the Working with Design

area, with a show-stopper fashion show

themed stand under the banner "Movac -

always at the forefront of colour fashion",

and providing W12 with the "eXtra" factor!

The stand comprised a central catwalk

structure leading out of a circular entrance

designed from an element of the Movac

logo, onto the stage, using white

minimalistic backdrops alongside the

company's corporate red colour

and bold fashion model images.

The surrounding areas featured 7

striking mannequins coated in

various Sayerlack finishes,

including gold acrylic 2 pack

lacquer, pink water based crackle

lacquer and white gloss

polyurethane together with clothes

rails holding wooden coat hangers

sprayed in various Sayerlack

finishes with tags attached

providing details of the particular

coatings used, so that visitors

could ‘browse’ through them at

their leisure. A large ‘live video’

screen ran throughout the day,

together with touch screens

presenting the new website which

also incorporates the fashion

theme and images.

Movac then provided an

entertaining 10 minute fashion

show twice a day, which never

failed to draw appreciative visitors

to the stand, with two models

sporting various wooden garments coated

in our finishes, including tabard-style

outfits, natural wood bangles and earrings

using various Sayerlack stains and lacquers

and unique wooden ties coated in various

colours in Sayerlack topcoat and water

based topcoat - all aided by wood and paint

associated pop tunes and a fashion show

commentary.

Mark Smith, Movac's MD said: "Movac

has always been at the cutting edge of

innovation and our W12 stand portrayed

this. We knew our unique design would be

visually different to any other exhibitor's, it

was created to help visitors easily visualise

our wide range of innovative "must have"

coatings & finishes and connect with their

own individual aspirations. From the

amount of interest and feedback we have

received, this exceeded our expectations."

Movac "Stands Out" At W12 Exhibition,Birmingham NEC 7-10 October 2012



David Clouting Ltd was pleased to see

that the W12 exhibition had

maintained its standards, with visitor

numbers and their relevance to the

company’s services providing a pleasing

match. The business is now following

up on the many contacts made at the

event, which will require contact with

nearly 250 individuals and companies.

Edward Quant, David Clouting

Commercial Director, said: ‘Our various

different interior surfaces attracted a wide

and varied audience. We were also

delighted with the response from the shop

fitting sector to Interior Film, which

provides stunning designs and textures to

cover all surfaces of interiors. Self-adhesive,

fire rated, applied to most surfaces - it's the

perfect product to decorate and fit out

buildings, saving time.’ Interior Film can

be easily fixed to the majority of substrates,

allowing shop fitters to quickly transform

any room setting. The selection of woods,

stones, leathers, metals and

decorative designs can also be

applied to furniture and

fittings, providing further

potential to create unique

settings with the minimum of

disruption.

The response from visitors

to W12 further endorsed the

company’s enviable reputation

for being at the forefront of

innovation.

‘Texture is increasingly important and

our Graphite and White solid colour with a

new horizontal emboss was a star of the

exhibition,’ said Mr Quant.

Two recent introductions, Coimbra Ash

and African Walnut, also attracted

considerable interest, he continued.

Coimbra Ash is matched to Egger’s Sand

Lyon Ash H1298 and African Walnut is

matched to Kronospan's African Walnut

D8311. The new options are now being

introduced into the David

Clouting stock range.

‘Paint - Innoface solid

colours and High Gloss solid

colours – are a key part of the

KBB product selection, which

David Clouting supports with

a large number of stock

colours. Mussel is being

introduced in High Gloss to

complement the Innoface pvc

that was launched to match

the Egger's U717 MFC,’ said Mr Quant.

The feedback to two of the company’s

stone PVCs was also described as ‘excellent’

by Mr Quant. These are high quality

reproductions which provide panel

manufacturers with effective natural

materials.

David Clouting Enjoys Successful Return to W12

Magi-Cut’s optimisation and

production software was on show in

two halls at W12, in Hall 8 (Working

with Wood) on the Homag City stand

where it was shown alongside the

Holzma HPP350 beam saw; and in Hall 6

(Working with Design) where the

Magi-Cut Software stand was located

alongside EQ Software and ArtiCad.

The Holzma HPP350 saw used at the

show was destined for customer Urban

Myth who have also recently purchased a

Magi-Cut V9 modular system to use in

conjunction with the saw and their Weeke

CNC router.

Magi-Cut welcomed delegates from

Fairline Boats, who have also recently

purchased Magi-Cut Version 9 including

both Nesting and Optimisation modules

along with the Bargstedt board storage

system. Magi-Cut was able to guide them

on how they might set up their

manufacturing system to get the most out

of the software as well as to

integrate with their existing

systems.

Jim Wiltshire MD of Magi-

Cut Software was pleased

with the variety of customers

attending the stand –

including many from smaller

workshops who had come to

see Magi-Cut Express – many

who took away the free

Express trial CD. As well as

potential new customers it

was a pleasure meeting many

of our existing customers

who wanted to see what the new Modular

Version 9 had to offer them and discuss

upgrade options.

There was also keen interest from

visitors looking to integrate their existing

design software (such as ArtiCAD) with

Magi-Cut to provide seamless links to their

saws and machine centres.

The revolutionary Cojet 2612 flatbed

inkjet printer made its UK exhibition

debut on the RW Machines stand at

this year’s W12. This is technology

that could ultimately change forever

the way that decorative boards are

used for cabinet furniture making or

for custom interiors in kitchens,

bedrooms, bathrooms or the

shopfitting sector.

This is high definition printing of

anything from woodgrain images to

complex graphic designs in a huge range of

colours on flat wood based panels for fitted

or three dimensional furniture making and

including doors of any shape or size. CoJet

not only prints with inks that are warranted

UV stable for eight years, it can even

reproduce texture on a surface to mimic the

feel of real natural wood grains.

Inkjet print heads will overprint an

image using multiple passes to build a

surface with real touch depth. The ability of

CoJet to reproduce a woodgrain texture is

superb; CoJet will also print to any material

- even sheet metals, ceramics and glass;

anything, in fact, that may be deployed in a

decorative environment.

Pop-up pin technology on the bed of the

press enables simple repeat positioning of

work pieces, making the Cojet 2612 a

serious production machine that is

available through RW Machines Ltd. of

Bicester who will be fully supporting CoJet

for service, spares and inks via RW’s highly

regarded team of service engineers.

Anderson SelexxAlso shown for the first time at W12 was

a full-size Anderson Selexx CNC nesting

line with vacuum loading and including a

squaring device on entry to position panels

without operator intervention and with a

scissor lift and pusher/destacker for

completed panels.The speed of the

Anderson Selexx working solely in

conjunction with an edgebander could

make a beam saw redundant in many

situations, according to RW’s David

Thompson Rowland.

Giben EdgeA Giben Edge KS26J edge finishing

automat was shown in support of a newly

signed distribution deal with an Italian

supplier better known for beam saws. The

edgebander exhibit at W12 had been built

especially for a UK customer to process

2mm edgebandings and had been equipped

with flat and profile scrapers for a better

finish. Simplicity of operation is a major

feature of Giben Edge banding - the screen

controller is designed for fast setup and

easy machine operation and this

edgebander is also unique in trapping all

edge trimmings within the cabinet in

support of a cleaner working environment.

OrmaA new membrane press from Orma on

the RW stand was designed for the

application of decorative coverings to flat

and curved panels. The Orma Air System

Eco 25/14 press deploys one or two tables in

a shuttle system and extra flanges can also

adjust the chamber height for pressing

curved panels with a maximum depth of

200mm. An intermediate flange can be

used for high gloss work, guaranteeing

uniform temperature without bubbles or

wrinkles and improving the definition of

finish across all PVC foils.

Stema Multi-PointAlso new from RW Machines’ Italian

principal Stema at W12 was their new

Multipoint three-axis machine; the

configuration on this year’s show was for

face and edge boring panels with two

independent groups of tools for dowelling

and fittings instertion on shelves, windows

and doors. Groups of tools can be configured

to drill, route and insert as needed.

Stema CB86Also bearing the Stema label was their

CB86 drilling and hinge insertion machine

working from the underside of panels,

drilling holes and inserting hinge plates.

This machine from Stema can be

configured to work with any hinge supplier

just by changing the magazine and the

pusher. It was equipped with three spindles

for hinges and two for plates plus a chip

extractor complete with dust collection

bags. Spinamatic by the same maker was

shown for gluing and dowelling and can be

equipped with a choice of pumps for

working in conjunction with a range of

white adhesives.

enroute to Gresham Office Furniture in

Bolton. The new multi-function CNC

technology will replace four existing CNC

Contour Edge FinishingEdge finishing shaped panels has

become big business for RW Machines,

reports David Thompson Rowland, and two

different capability options were fielded at

W12. One was from Vitap - their Eclipse

model at the lower end of the capability

spectrum and Vector, developed in New

Zealand, at the other. First seen at W10,

Vitap’s easy-to-use Eclipse contour

edgebander is now equipped with

premilling.

Both Vitap and Vector are designed to

edge finish contoured panels, tracing the

contour, applying an edgeband and cutting

neatly on conclusion of the wrap. With

Vector the operator need only position the

panel for the head to find the edge

automatically and then to complete the

process. A patented system keeps the head

pressed firmly against the edge of the

panel, controlling both pressure and also

speed to ensure a very tight bond.

Vector will apply PP, acrylic, PVC, veneer

and indeed almost any type of edge finish

to the most commonly used wood based

panels, including hollowcore. An unfilled

hotmelt adhesive of good quality is

recommended for contours, say Vector,

most of which will be high value products

carrying better margins.

Vitap QuartzAlso from Vitap is their new Quartz, a

small in-line edgebander with buffing units

top and bottom. A glue joint and profile

scraper unit was shown on the show

machine with a trimmer and end cutter and

also pre-milling for optimum edge quality.

This is a highly cost-effective, small

footprint edgebander designed for

processing all types of finishing materials

on small shop floors.

Bonacin CloserIn support of a very different application

was the Bonacin Closer, a cabinet clamp

that is easily inserted into any production

line; this electro-mechanical cabinet clamp

adjusts automatically for both height and

length using photoelectric cells. Bonachin’s

Closer is adjustable for pressure and is the

ultimate machine for high productivity and

low operating costs.

Fisher+Ruckle - a new distributiondeal for RW Machines Ltd.

And lastly at W12, RW Machines

announced a new agency agreement with

Swiss veneer jointing and splicing

specialists Fisher+Ruckle. MD Alexander

Baptista said on the stand that a range of

different machines will make their UK

entry under the Omni label for low cost

glue jointing and longitudenal splicing

applications in smaller workshops. The

stand machine is the first of several that

will be available from the Bicester-based

distributor; MD David Thompson Rowland

said: “Omni represents a stable of very good

machines that are designed to make veneer

working simpler and more consistent.”

W12 REVIEW

Maka’s “specialist” approach continues

apace with rapid development of the

range, including the latest MK7s,

High-Speed 5-Axis model, which was

launched at W12.

The MK7s is ideal for bespoke

operations, such as complex window

components.

With a 2 x 1 x 0.6 metre working area it’s

an ideal “jobbing” machine, with quick

setting and high speed processing. A

powerful 10Kw spindle and 6 position tool

magazine, capable of taking large stacked

tools for moulding and tenoning, enable

the machine to tackle the most demanding

one-off and development jobs, with

excellent results in hardwoods.

The latest BWO-Siemens hybrid

controller features integrated safety controls

and provides easier programming, with

excellent compatibility with all leading

CAD/CAM systems.

Information was also provided on the “all

new” PE range, including the new “flag-

ship” PE90, designed for high volume and

bespoke joinery production.

The PE90 features a wholly construction,

and highly modularized, enabling Maka to

provide even more tailored solutions, with a

wider variety of heads, and working

heights, for 3 and 5-axis operations.

UK Sales Manager, Iain Young, says:

“The structure and format of the PE90 is

more ergonomic, stronger and faster than

previous models, replacing the PE70 and 75

models.”

“We’ve taken a bold step improving the

whole range. Developments have been

intensive, initially with improvements to

the old PE models, but resulting in

completely new technology and

performance. The new PE range, features

heavy duty CNC Tables and spindle

carriages, available in a variety of sizes, (4,

6 and 8 metres, x 1250 mm wide and 300

or 400 mm working heights, to provide

greater speed, and

flexibility.”

“The new PE90

supersedes the renowned

PM270 as Maka’s flag-

ship model. It is not only

about 20% faster, but with

the new CNC Table

provides instant setting,

with automatic

positioning of all

Clamping Bars and Pods.

Both the standard manual

bars, and the full CNC

table, are now available

with the Maka Click

System Pods, for positive,

quick and precise

positioning of both

vacuum and pneumatic

clamps.”

Young continues: “The

higher performance has

also required new safety

features, which have

resulted in replacing

safety mats and light

guards with all new

“contactless” laser

scanning technology.”

The new technology

greatly improves both safety and reliability,

by eliminating potential causes of

stoppages.

Iain Young remarked, “It has taken

nearly 2 years to get to this stage, and we’re

confident our customers will appreciate and

adopt the new solutions.”

The company is even more focused on

service and support, recognising this as the

foundation of current and future business.

Emphasising this, NC Engineers will be

available at on the stand to discuss your

service and maintenance requirements

along with future investments.

machining centre was busy making pieces

for a personalised rocking chair. We were

offering these rocking chairs to visitors in

return for a charity donation with the

proceeds going to Menphys, a charity that

supports children and young people with

disabilities and their families.

“Once the pieces were processed by the

WEEKE they were sent to the brand new

LIGMATECH VKS 200. This ingenious

machine created boxes on demand in

HOMAG branded packaging to parcel up

the pieces.

“We produced over 300 rocking chairs

during the four day event, it was a huge

success raising over £900 for the charity.

This figure is a testimony to the quality of

the WEEKE CNC machine, especially as it

was only running in demonstration mode.

“Another busy machine was the

impressive HOMAG Venture 316. This

CNC router was in action showcasing its

DRIVE5C five-axis

routing spindle, one spindle that

does the job of a whole array of traditional

units including routing, profiling, drilling

and sawing. Creating fruit bowls for

visitors, the 316 demonstrated its versatility

and productivity.

minute of the show with a continuous

demand for demonstrations of how

productive the programme is.

“Our power duo HOLZMA and

BARGSTEDT teamed up in this work cell

showing how efficient the partnership of

the HOLZMA HPP 350 saw and the

BARGSTEDT TLF 210 automated board

storage system is. By coupling these two

machines together manufacturers can

achieve maximum throughput from the

saw whilst also keeping waste to a

minimum.

“It came as

no surprise

that the next

step, the

WEEKE

BHX 055,

our compact

yet versatile

CNC processing centre

was one of the main

attractions for our visitors. With throughput

speeds that can match those of much larger

machines in just a 5m2 footprint, the

productivity and attractive price tag of this

small, but perfectly formed workhorse

never fails to amaze anyone who sees it in

action.

“The final two stations of the work cell

included the BRANDT Ambition 1650

edgebander and LIGMATECH MPH 450

carcass clamp. Visitors were impressed by

how easy it was to make an efficient,

versatile and productive make-to-order

W12 REVIEW

Homag Ambition 2264 Edgebander

Homag Bargstedt TLF 210 with Holzma HPP 350 saw

Geoff Baker, co-founder and chairman

of CD (UK) Ltd, confirms that the W12

exhibition was a resounding success

for the company. As the UK distributor

of DuPont™ Corian® solid surface

materials and products, as well as being

the exclusive distributor for several

leading machinery manufacturers,

W12 proved the ideal platform to

showcase the company's portfolio of

products and services.

CD (UK) presented their wares on two

separate stands: in the 'Working with

Design' section, visitors were treated to an

array of stunning products exemplifying the

endless design possibilities that can be

realised with Corian and, in the 'Working

with Wood' halls, the company displayed a

host of specialist machinery and tools for use

in solid surface fabrication. Situated only a

few steps apart, visitor traffic between the

two stands was "greater than anticipated,

and further justified our decision to exhibit

in both areas”, said Mr Baker.

Visitors to the 'Working with Wood'

stand were able to explore the

comprehensive range of professional tools

for the solid surface and woodworking

sectors that are distributed by CD (UK).

Also featured was a working demonstration

of the Elkom ‘Multitherm’ Thermoforming

Centre which showed how efficiently the

combined pre-heating station and vacuum

press can form and shape all types of solid

surface materials. However, the highlight of

the machinery display was undoubtedly the

demonstration of the newly-introduced

solid surface through-feed sanding

machine. Named ‘SolidSurfacer’, this

unique and compact sander has been

specially developed for solid surface

material finishing. The multi-head machine

is capable of bringing solid surface to an

accurate calibrated thickness and sanding

to a three grit 360/500 satin finish in a

single pass.

Eric Whorne, who manages the

Machinery Division, explains: “The

‘SolidSurfacer’ is an exciting new concept

which dramatically reduces the time

required to precisely finish solid surface

materials. For example, a 3 metre long

worktop can now be processed in one pass,

and in under 60 seconds - compare this

with around 45 minutes using conventional

methods of finishing with handheld

machine tools.”

The ‘SolidSurfacer’ has a footprint of just

1370 x 1800mm and, with a working width

of 950mm, it allows full sheets, worktop

runs of any length, and individual pieces to

be processed. Add to this the constructional

benefits that calibrating solid surface to an

accurate thickness provides in the final

assembly stage, and the affordably-priced

machine becomes an attractive proposition

for solid surface fabricators.

Mr Whorne adds: “Being able to run the

‘SolidSurfacer’ and demonstrate its unique

qualities created lots of interest and we will

be busy over the next few weeks following

up a good number of solid enquiries.”

Dust Extraction Experience From Jeld-Wento Formica and from Jaguar to Rolls Royce

WOODWASTE

Oakfield Cabinets was generating around 4 tonnes of waste a week that was costing £20,000 a year to dispose of; that cost is now recouped - and the factory is heated for free.

A run of new ducting by Dustraction at JELD-WEN in Melton Mowbray is one metre in diameter and more than 100 metres in length.

- at SAM Mouldings in Northern Ireland

we’re talking 2.5 tons per hour of MDF dust

- plus a wide range of other fan types for

wood and panel waste in wide ranging load

capacities. High volume cyclones are also

now manufactured in-house under the

Dustrax banner in order, Steve Matuska

says, to maintain quality and efficiency

standards plus, of course, ready availability.

Shop floor technology at Dustraction

includes computer-operated plasma

profiling and a CNC press brake, both of

which are backed up by an ongoing

programme of inward investment. It’s that,

the inward investment, plus unparalleled

manpower experience that keeps

Dustraction at the cutting edge of wood and

panel waste extraction for design and

engineering excellence.

Ducting bearing the Dustraction label is

in light gauge galvanised sheet steel, in

stainless and in Cromweld heavy gauge

mild steel - the latter is used also in cyclone

manufacture. Fabrication is all produced in-

house, as are a range of finishing systems

including sanding benches and spray

booths, and all is built to full COSHH

standards. Dustraction also offers a

COSHH LEV testing service to ensure full

compliance with Health & Safety Executive

standards.

Sales Director Steve Matuska says: “The

wealth of knowledge and design experience

that Dustraction has accumulated over its

50 plus years servicing Britain’s wood and

panel processing industry really cannot be

beaten. No other company in wood waste

extraction comes close to the levels of

experience that drives our drawing office

and extraction equipment fabrication team

– and, of course, our Dustrax brand label.”




WOODWASTE

Dustraction’s multi-cyclo filter and siloinstallation in Antrim handles 2.5 tons of MDF

Dustraction’s work with the Health & SafetyExecutive is ongoing - the goal is to improve themonitoring of waste extraction from individualmachines.

Leading manufacturer of waste to

energy solutions, Wood Waste

Technology Ltd, is launching a new

hot water boiler system to compliment

its current range of wood waste

heaters, shredders and briquette

machines – helping companies to use

their wood waste to save money on

heating and skip costs.

With the Government’s Renewable Heat

Incentive (RHI) offering substantial

financial benefits to companies for 20

years, there’s never been a better time for

UK businesses to invest in new biomass

technology to produce heat and hot water

from their waste.

Wood Waste Technology has invested

years in research and development to

produce superior quality biomass boilers at

competitive prices. Wood Waste

Technology’s new boiler system will open

up the market to allow smaller companies,

as well as larger corporations, to benefit

from renewable energy hot water solutions.

The Wood Waste Technology boiler

system offers three heating solutions in one

package, providing space heating to factory

areas, traditional radiator heating for offices

and domestic hot water.

The team at Wood Waste Technology is

proud to have created what it believes may

be the most efficient wood waste boiler

system available in the UK, if not Europe.

The products have been designed and

tested to BSEN303-5-1999, the highest

standard for efficiency and emissions,

allowing customers to maximise their

return from the RHI scheme.

Built with UK wood manufacturers in

mind, the boiler has fuel flexibility so can

burn any type of chipped or shredded wood

waste, from dust to rugged wood chips. As

the official distributor for Gross UK, a

German manufacturer of dependable,

precision engineered shredders and

briquetters, Wood Waste Technology also

offers a range of shredding solutions for

use with its waste to heat systems.

The boilers are manufactured by Wood

Waste Technology in the UK, to the

company’s exacting quality standards, and

are built to last. The team at Wood Waste

Technology is very proud that all the wood

waste heaters it has sold to date are still in

operation today – a sign of the

manufacturing excellence that Wood Waste

Technology has built its reputation on.

The units have been designed to be user

friendly, and contain many innovative

features. For instance, the units have

flexible capability, so can run from 30% up

to full capacity, allowing the boiler to be

turned down when factories are empty

overnight and on weekends. Not only does

this make better use of resources, it gives

companies a greater return on each

kilogram of wood waste, and maximises

possible RHI payments.

The boilers are available in various

outputs, from 300kW up to 1 MW, to suit

all business sizes. The touch screen

PLC interfaces make them easy

to use, and they’re also

easy to maintain.

Other design

features include

a water cooled

combustion

chamber to

provide greater

efficiency and

extend the life

of the system,

and low nitrogen oxide (NOx) output that

falls within the lower limits proposed by the

Government in its forthcoming change to

legislation.

MD of Wood Waste Technology, Kurt

Cockroft says: “We’re really excited by our

new hot water boiler system, as Wood

Waste Technology can now offer the full

spectrum of biomass energy solutions,

helping to protect businesses from

escalating heating bills and on-going waste

disposal costs.”

Hot Water System Launched at W12



Willerby Holiday Homes, the Hull-based

manufacturer of luxury holiday homes,

has invested in a new energy-efficient

dust extraction system which has been

designed, supplied and installed by Dust

Control Systems.

Established just after the Second World War,

Willerby is the UK's largest manufacturer of

holiday homes and lodges, selling its extensive

range across the UK and Europe. The

company is at the forefront of holiday home

design and manufacture, and is committed to

the pursuit of environmental excellence at its

award-winning, energy-efficient factory, which

employs extensive recycling practices and

waste reduction processes.

The new dust extraction system comprises

an externally-sited Schuko EcoVar 2030

modular chain filter which has a total airflow

volume of 135,000m3/hour. Filter cleaning is

carried out by a dual cleaning system which

employs a cleaning fan housed at the top of

the filter, and mechanical shaker system at the

base. The energy-efficient system employs

three 55kW direct-drive main fan units, which

replace the previous three 75kW belt-driven

fans, and extract from a total of 40 processing

machines. The filter has rotary valve discharge

into a 15kW fan-powered closed-loop waste

transfer system which feeds waste directly into

two large capacity boxcarts. The new filter

plant replaced the enormous drag chain filter,

which had been built on top of the factory’s

maintenance shop. DCS disconnected the old

plant, in preparation for its removal, and

installed three 710mm diameter main ducting

runs from the new main fans to existing

junctions within the factory.

A key feature of the energy-saving

installation is the ECOGATE® extraction-on-

demand system, which constantly monitors

the use of each individual processing machine

and automatically regulates the speed of the

relevant fan unit accordingly. The system

employs an Ecogate greenBOX MASTER SRL

controller, motorised gates and sensors at each

machine, together with variable speed drives

for the three main fans. The required power

requirement to each fan is determined by the

opening and closing of the motorised gates,

thereby only using the exact amount of power

required and avoiding energy wastage.

Willerby Holiday Homes contracted DCS to

install the new system during the firm’s

summer shut-down and Christian Wilson,

Facilities Manager, says: “The project required

a lot of detailed planning and DCS worked

together with us from initial concept through

to completion. They were confident from the

outset that they could achieve installation and

commissioning within the allotted timescale

and that they could attain the levels of savings

that they forecasted. I’m pleased to report that

they scored highly on both counts; the

transition from the old to the new system was

almost seamless. And, our production people

just love the new system – it’s far more

efficient than the old plant, it’s much quieter,

and it saves us a significant amount of

expenditure on electricity.”

DCS engineers conservatively predicted that

the new system would save around £35,000

per year on energy usage, when compared to

Willerby’s old dust plant. Following review of

stored data carried out after one month’s

operation, the annual savings prediction has

now been adjusted up to £46,000.

WHAT’S NEW

While some spring manufacturers

struggle with the complex shape of

double torsion springs, William Hughes

has invested in the latest CNC

technology machines to fully automate

the production process.

For many applications, double torsion

springs perform better than single and as a

result, they are widely used in the automotive

industry. Typical applications include door

handles, seat adjustment mechanisms and

console lids.

So when a manufacturer of seat and car

interior parts needed a double torsion spring

for the door handles of a popular small car, it

approached William Hughes as one of its

preferred suppliers. The application engineers

at William Hughes used their knowledge and

expertise to design the spring to meet the

exacting specification of the car manufacturer,

whilst ensuring that the spring would be easy

to manufacture using its CNC machinery.

The spring is used inside the car to return

the handle to its normal position and is

specially designed to make assembly into the

car mechanism easy. Despite the complex

shape of the central section of the double

torsion spring, very little tooling was required.

By making the spring in two fully

automated stages, the difficult central section

was easily formed to provide a spring that is

compact, cost effective and which

encompasses the right performance

characteristics and durability. The final stage

of the process is to finish and protect the

springs using an organic and

environmentally friendly anti-corrosion paint

containing zinc flake.

William Hughes specialises in the design

and manufacture of all types of compression,

tension and torsion springs and bent wire

components for automotive, aerospace and

industrial applications.

Stringent quality checks to ISO

9001:2008 and TS 16949, combined with

the latest design, production and

distribution techniques ensure continuity

of supply, rapid delivery and competitive

prices across the range.

selection up to 11,000opm

· Lithium-ion 14.4v and 18v: 22

minutes recharge time

· Low centre of gravity and

ergonomic grip design

The new Makita BBO180 and BBO140

cordless 125mm random orbit sanders give

the same level of performance as AC mains

powered models, and being cordless have

even greater manoeuvrability. Powered by a

quick 22-minute recharge 18v or 14.4v

Lithium-ion 3.0Ah battery, these two

cordless sanders are a major new addition

to the Makita range which boasts over 450

power tools designed for construction

professionals.

Aesthetically, the Makita BBO140 and

BBO180 sanders are compact and stylish.

The compact body design puts the top of

the machine just 153mm above the sanding

surface whilst at the same time the low

position of the motor lowers the centre of

gravity making these sanders comfortable

to use, well balanced and easily controllable

with one or two hands. The ergonomic

design of the handgrip adds to the comfort

and control. The battery is mounted

alongside the machine body and is easily

accessible for changing. Ready to operate

these sanders weigh just 1.6 – 1.7kg.

Technically, these new Makita sanders

bristle with innovations and performance

features. High productivity is achieved by

the high orbit speeds of up to 11,000 orbits

per minute. There are three speed settings

which are easily and conveniently selected

by a push button control on the front of the

handgrip. A choice of 7,000, 9,500 and

11,000opm can be selected. The

corresponding sanding stroke rates are

14,000, 19,000 and 22,000spm. The stop

button is also located in this convenient

forward position and this activates an

electronic pad brake. The orbit diameter is

2.8mm.

The new Makita Lithium-ion powered

cordless sanders have a 123mm pad size to

carry 125mm diameter sanding discs from

the Makita accessory range. Hook and loop

abrasive attachment is a feature on the

BBO140 and BBO180 machines. A high

rate of dust extraction is achieved with

waste material being extracted through

eight holes in the pad and captured through

a nozzle that can be set at 12 different

angles. Dust is discharged into a dust bag

supplied with the machine or alternatively,

these cordless sanders can be connected

directly to a Makita dust extraction unit to

maintain safe, clean and healthy working

environments. The Makita abrasive range

offers a wide variety of abrasive discs with

many alternative grit levels, pads and wool

polishing mops.

A window manufacturer sets standards

in energy efficiency and

environmental compatibility with his

passive house windows. Since the

company deploys a modern coating

system, which thanks to its minimal

overspray not only cares for the

environment but also improves the

surfaces quality, their performance is

further enhanced.

The passive house windows “thermoll” of

window manufacturer Moll from

Uttenweiler in Southern Germany sets

benchmarks as to thermal transmittance

value and air tightness. So it does not come

as a surprise, that these innovate products

are distributed successfully not only in

Germany but throughout Europe.

The company coats the window frames

manually. A common problem with this

process is the uneven application of the

material caused by alternating (pump

piston) stroke, which can lead to surface

irregularities and splatters.

Moll decided to test the new BINKS

Raptor Air Assisted Airless package. It

features an almost pulsation-free paint flow

and creates a perfect finish. The

experienced spray operators at Moll are

familiar with every coating specification,

viscosity and shade, and were therefore the

perfect people to put the new generation of

BINKS equipment through its paces.

The convincing benefit of the new

BINKS MX pump is the absolute pulsation-

free delivery of the paint coating. Thanks to

an innovative magnetic detent the flow of

spray mist continues uninterrupted whilst

the pump changes strokes, unlike the

conventional method involving mechanical

switchover. Large areas are coated with

critical colours and high viscosities in a

high quality.

Another advantage of the Binks MX

AA4400M gun is the low overspray. At an

inlet pressure of just 1.5 bar even highly

viscous materials are optimally processed.

“It did not take us long to see that the

overspray has been reduced significantly”,

explained the coaters at Moll and added:

"After a short time we noticed material

savings of up to 20%”.

The Air Cap & Tip configuration of the

Binks AA4400M spray gun ensures the

especially fine atomization and flexible

setting of the spray angle. Thereby it

smoothly adapts to all colour variations and

viscosities.

"Thanks to the new magnetic switch of

the BINKS Raptor MAX package, the

quality of the surface has been considerably

improved. Considering the reduced

overspray, the extended service life of the

booth filters and the reduced coating

consumption, it is realistic to estimate a

savings potential of more than 20%!”

Improved coating quality, reduced

overspray and swift maintenance: Moll and

his coaters are convinced, the investment in

the new Raptor MAX has already paid

dividends.

statement about excellence and design

innovation within Ireland’s creative

look even more ‘eye catching’ on the

of this year’s winners.”

Eco-Friendly Manual Coating With Automatic Quality!

FEATURE

Ostermann’s new catalogue came out in

September. Europe’s largest range of

edgings spread over 500 pages combined

with plenty of useful info about every

facet of the world of edgings. The

catalogue boasts numerous new features,

as well as edgings to match the latest

collections from Europe’s leading panel

manufacturers and a huge selection of

practical accessories.

As did its predecessors, the large

2013/2014 Edgings Catalogue dedicates itself

solely to the world of edgings and their

application. For the second time it will be

appearing in a 5-language edition. Apart from

English, the catalogue is also issued in

German, Dutch, French and Italian. Readers

who are already accustomed with and value

the Edgings Catalogue will appreciate the

familiar layout and the various

improvements.

More service, easier to useThe coherent way in which sections are

arranged according to the various edging

materials and the front pages, specially laid

out for each section, help the furniture

manufacturer navigate to the information

they need. The required section can be

quickly found with the user-friendly cut tab

format.

The front pages for each section provide

copious introductory information, an

illustrative practical application example and

detailed data on the particular material. Each

section features a two-page explanation of the

various services available for the product,

thus providing a coherent overview of the

relevant service package. The applicable

services can also be called up with a smart

phone or tablet by scanning the QR code

located in the page headers. Each section is

rounded off with useful application data. The

new key word listing format on the relevant

pages provides an even clearer overview

making it easy to make comparisons.

Ostermann has added another new and

really helpful feature by listing the available

thicknesses alongside images of the various

edgings. Because Ostermann supplies all

plastic edgings in every required width, it is

not necessary to state the particular widths.

The catalogue makes placing orders simple

with the easy-to-read fold-out page containing

an overview of all available materials and

their various properties, along with an

explanation of Ostermann’s order numbering

system (providing key information at a

glance).

Numerous production innovations and additions

As an innovator in the furniture

manufacturing industry, Ostermann is ahead

of the field when it comes to the latest styles.

Our product managers have their eyes and

ears open in the marketplace, staying ahead

of the pack and they have no hesitation in

acting decisively to attractively shape our

product ranges. For example, the catalogue

contains edgings in 13 of the most popular

finishes, including super matt. These are

listed on page 89 and are available in

thicknesses of 1 mm. On page 107 the

furniture manufacturer can find futuristic

LED edgings for creating impressive lighting

effects and Ostermann can of course deliver

wholly natural products too –stylish solid

wood edgings such as the attractive "Wave"

and "Saw" finishes are available on page 147.

An addition to its ABS edgings,

Ostermann now supplies numerous extra

finishes across its entire melamine range.

True to the motto “When others call it a day –

Ostermann is just getting going”, the

melamine range will also continue to grow

considerably in future. Page 118 contains

numerous colours and patterns frequently

delivered by Ostermann to match ABS

finishes.

The adhesive section has been seen some

extensive product additions. The edging itself

is as multi-faceted as the requirements for its

application. It is precisely for these

individualised applications that Ostermann is

able to supply the right glue. Apart from well-

established adhesive products, page 265

contains many special adhesives for a range

of applications within the workshop.

Find the edgings you want when you want

The printed version of Europe’s largest

Cross Reference List, an “edging for every

board”, is the ideal method for placing

orders, particularly in the workshop. Reason

enough for Ostermann to expand this

section. This is where the specialist will not

only find the right edging to match patterns

from 32 of the leading wood materials

manufacturers such as Egger, Polyrey or

Finsa, but as of now customers are also given

a corresponding page reference to the edging

photo in the catalogue. This provides a direct,

visual image and radically speeds up the

search process. The variety of edging-finishes

has also been expanded. The numerous links

in this section, the listing of the finish

number in the Cross Reference List and the

use of the fold-out section in the front of the

catalogue all combine to make it easier to

find the right edgings and for those who

prefer the online version... the finish for the

required edging can be called up in

Ostermann’s Online Shop along with a

detailed image. Apart from edgings, the

customer will also find correction pens and a

further 38 manufacturers with edging

references assigned to them.

With the extensive catalogue containing

information on all things concerning panel

finishes, Ostermann, as the leading edging

and profile specialist, is providing the

furniture manufacturer with everything

required for edging applications. The

catalogue was automatically sent to

Ostermann customers and potential

customers in the first week of September. It

will of course be delivered to anyone else who

requests it.

Ostermann’s New Edging Catalogue 2013/2014




James Latham is now offering HIF

(Holz in Form) Finesse, a revolution in

conventional timber veneer panelling

which gives dimension, depth and

texture to an otherwise flat surface.

With a mixture of contemporary designs

and patterns - inspired by the flowing,

dynamic shapes of the natural elements -

HIF Finesse offers a striking range of

eleven embossed MDF panels, each

supplied with its own unique textured

finish.

Faces range from Italian Alpi

engineered-veneer in colours including

Ebony, Walnut and Light Oak, through to

Oak and Walnut real wood veneers. Plus,

there is also a paintable foil finish available.

Reaction from architects, interior

designers and furniture makers in both the

commercial and residential sectors has

been extremely positive as HIF Finesse

offers a veneer option which has not

previously been available, inspiring new

ideas and allowing designers to capitalise

on new trends which delivers real impact.

Manufactured in Germany, the panels

are produced by applying 100,000 tonnes

of pressure per square metre in a specialist

press, forming the unique appearance of

HIF-Finesse which would have an

otherwise flat surface. In addition, HIF-

Finesse is also available in curved panels,

with a matching range of edgings.

HIF Finesse is available from James

Latham in profiles and thicknesses from

1050 x 2450 x 18/21mm, 635 x 2450 x 21mm,

1270 x 3135 x 21mm, depending on the

pattern and panels are held in stock at all

nine of James Latham’s UK-wide panel sites.

This is where Ostermann, the expert in

edging, is always at the front of the

pack! The latest speciality in the

product range is veneered oak edgings

with woodworm and split wood look.

For some years now a certain trend has

become apparent whereby various surface

treatments are implemented to give a used

look to real wood parquet floorings and

solid wood furniture. This second hand

style is reflected in current trends such as

"used look", "vintage style" or "shabby

chic". These looks have their place in

people’s romantic desire to have

authenticity and tradition, as well as to

have furniture with a strong character and

outstanding individuality. Furniture from

years gone by radiates charm and with

interior designs incorporating furniture

with an antique or aged appearance, the

customer can be sure of being right up to

date with the latest style.

Genuine antique or remarkablyrealistic imitation?

The trend was originally seen in flooring

and has long been a feature among wood

material manufacturers too. More and

more new, distinctively structured surfaces,

are available in veneer. Descriptive terms

frequently encountered in the market

include “rough cut”, “split wood” and “aged

wood”. Wood material producers such as

Decospan, Kaindl and Rohol offer 3D

veneer with names such as "Brushed" and

“Rough cut".

Back to nature with cutting-edge technology

The natural surfaces of veneered panels

are usually sandblasted to give them the

desired structure. Artificially created

woodworm holes, stress traces as well as

fantasy structures can be created with a

remarkably realistic look. Under the

heading “designed by nature” these

patterns are again bringing more

naturalness and genuine materials into

furniture making. Even if modern digital

print techniques can be combined with

sophisticated embossing to create evermore

perfect finishes – plastic cannot achieve the

feel and warmth of real wood.

Ostermann expands its woodwormand split wood finishes into the

veneered edging rangeThese two oak edgings are truly

something very special. These edgings can

be used to create unique individual and

collectors pieces. This option has

completely rejuvenated veneered furniture

ranges. The aforementioned buzz words

“used look”, “vintage style” and “shabby

chic” have an important part to play in this

context. The limits of the potential range of

applications of these two distinctively

structured solid wood edgings from

Ostermann are yet to be determined.

Carcass edgings with a suitable look and

feel are required where, for example, solid

fronts are used. The tradesman can also

apply a paint or stain to veneered edgings,

so as to fully exploit the range of effects.

These edgings also perfectly complement

plain coloured melamine surfaces. This

Ostermann Believes - The Early BirdCatches The Worm

Veneered oak edgings with woodworm & split wood look



combination is long established in the

office furniture sector and produces a quite

special effect. Ostermann can deliver these

two oak edgings right now in sizes of 24 x

2 mm and 43 x 2 mm respectively. The

standard roll length is 50 metres and can

be delivered within 24 hours.

Whether it is a romantic living style with

white vintage elements or a reduced style

with a loose combination of modern and

old – these oak edgings in woodworm and

split wood look will surely prove very

popular!

Meeting the trend of antique wood look

• Thoroughly stylish structured surfaces

with unique look and feel

• Creation of exclusive, charming

individual items

• Reliable, top quality material

• Many other domestic and exotic woods

in Ostermann’s range

The current trend - Super matt edgings

In contrast to the high gloss level of

more than 85 gloss units, Ostermann also

added Super matt ABS edgings to its range

with a special reduced gloss level of less

than 5 gloss units.

Ostermann supplies Super matt edgings

in every length from just 1 metre and

upwards. They are available in every width

from 16 – 100 mm. All edgings are also

available laser compatible or with hot melt

adhesive upon request. Deliveries always

come with a fi lm covering in order to

protect the surface. A swatch including 13

colours of Super matt edgings can be

requested at Ostermann.

RENOLIT is proud to announce two

quite individual and striking fantasy

designs as new additions to the

RENOLIT COVAREN stock range

RENOLIT COVAREN CobraThe new RENOLIT COVAREN Cobra

is a fantasy design which picks up on the

current trend towards irregular stripes

and geometric patterns.

The design is modern and contrasting,

yet creates a very homely atmosphere

depending on the colour combination

used. It is most suitable for combinations

with the three colours which feature

within the printed design itself, namely

greys, coffees and blues. For example mix

with RENOLIT COVAREN Flint Grey Nat

Trend or Lana Matt Grey, for a

harmonious result. Try RENOLIT

ALKORENMTO Putty for a trendy look or

either RENOLIT ALKORENMTO Aqua or

Wave Blue for striking contrast.

The Cobra print in combination with

Melinga emboss creates a highly attractive

impression of depth and therefore follows

the trend towards simple textures.

RENOLIT COVAREN MoulinsThe new Moulins design is reminiscent

of a concrete structure with a subtle two

colour square print. Given its very subtle

printed design, the finish can also be used

as a pseudo solid colour.

The design is very much in trend and,

with its neutral grey colour, is suitable for

combinations with various plain colours.

Depending on the combination of

colours, the design can be multi

functional in living areas, kitchens and

bathrooms, or as an eye-catching feature

in shops. It is printed in combination

with a Soft Coat lacquer and subtle

emboss creating a very delicate, high-

quality surface finish.

Cobra and Moulins were introduced by

RENOLIT into the global 3D stock range

with a number of other exciting new

RENOLIT COVAREN & RENOLIT

ALKOREN decors for 2012. Consisting of

16 different woodgrain effects, printed

effects and textures, and 10 high gloss

solid colours they can be divided into 7

groups comprising of:

Elm

Swiss Elm in 3 colours, 1 also in high

gloss

Walnut
