LIGNA Preview From Large

LIGNA Preview From Large to Small, From Individual Production to Series Production As the technology and world market leader, Leitz will once again be presenting technical innovations and additions to its range at this year’s LIGNA in Hanover under the motto “Solutions in new dimensions“. For users of Leitz products, this means an increase in productivity, more efficiency in work processes, conscious and careful handling of resources and employees as well as a particularly high flexibility in use. Just in time for LIGNA, Leitz opens a new chapter in the success story of the ProfilCut product family. Leitz developed the latest members of the family under the name ProfilCut Q Plus and ProfilCut Q Premium Plus with resharpenable, diameter and profile-constant cutting edges especially for the window construction industry or also for companies that process solid wood, plastic or MDF panels. The new compact hogger generation is ideally suited for batch size 1 production as well as for processing large quantities in furniture production. Changing quantities, the increasing variety of decorative finishes for furniture surfaces and the increasing proportion of waste wood in panel production pose ever greater challenges for manufacturing companies. Fast wearing cutting edges and the low machining quality are the consequences which also push production to its limits here. The new Leitz compact hogger is the solution for increasing productivity thanks to its longer service life and increased efficiency thanks to guaranteed constant cutting width. In addition, the resharpenability is also a great advantage from an economic point of view and the optimized chip collection increases productivity due to shorter machine downtimes, reduces dirt on the plate and extends tool life. In addition, the tool design has been modified in such a way that a significant noise reduction can be measured. A further innovation of this year’s LIGNA is the swivelling bevel cutterhead with exchangeable cutting systems. Due to the increasing variety of materials used in the construction of buildings and interiors, the tools are subject to high stresses. This can be seen above all in an excessively large variety of tools required, fast wearing cutting edges and correspondingly low cutting quality. In small or mediumsized companies, the resulting tool or material costs often make production a tightrope walk in economic terms. This makes the choice of the right tool all the more important. The new Leitz solution offers users several possibilities to optimally coordinate their tooling requirements. The use of a cutting edge concept adapted to the workpiece (HeliCut carbide cutting edges and Whispercut diamond cutting edges) as well as the possibility of exchanging individual cutting edges depending on wear makes production much more flexible. This enables the resource-saving processing of different materials such as solid wood, panel materials or abrasive plastics. The high quality of the tear-free edges, even with sensitive decors, also speaks for the tool system. www.leitz.org AKE Cutting 2.0 ‐ The Success Story Moves On The LIGNA fair in Hannover is just around the corner. Among the exhibitors AKE presents their latest and most innovative tooling solutions. The focus of AKE is on the award-winning Cutting 2.0 Technology, which has been established successfully in the market since 2013 and found the approval of an ever increasing number of users. In the course of the last few years the extraordinary cutting principle had successfully been transferred from the saw blade to most diverse cutting tools. In 2019 interested visitors can look forward to new further developments. Cutting 2.0 stands for the directed chip removal, which almost eliminates unwanted multiple chipping - the specific conception of the tools makes it possible. With the saw blade there is no longer the classical gullet. Immediately after cutting the chip is purposefully guided to the specific area of the blade’s stepped body, the so-called ChipBelt ® and carried off. The chips of the cutters are removed upward through the spiral chip channel. They can thus be removed from the material immediately after cutting without the risk of being cut again. The current Cutting 2.0 product family consists of: •• Panel Sizing Saw Blade 2.0 •• DP Jointing Cutter 2.0 (optionally in Harmony) •• DP Shank Cutter 2.0 (optionally in Harmony) •• SuperSilent The Cutting 2.0 product family is rounded out by the HP clamping system which combines the advantages of various different clamping systems. It stands out due to an improved run-out accuracy, slim design and easy mounting. Compared to conventional clamping systems it ensures that improved processing results can be achieved. The positive experiences with Cutting 2.0, both nationally and internationally, are evidence of the excellent acceptance and outstanding advantages of this innovative technology. The 2.0 product family is therefore constantly expanded. The latest developments of 2.0 will initially be presented on the occasion of the LIGNA 2019. All interested parties as well as visitors to the fair can look forward to it. www.ake.de 16 No. 1 • March 2019

Focusing on Themes of the Future At this year’s LIGNA, the Altendorf Group is introducing itself for the first time to the international trade-fair audience. Hebrock edge banding machines and Altendorf sliding table saws will be displayed together at the booth in Hall 12. The edge banding machines have been redesigned. They now bear a strong resemblance to the design of the Altendorf F45 sliding table saw, the winner of multiple awards. This step has given an even sharper edge to the machine profile of the Altendorf Group. The Altendorf Group will also inform about its latest innovations, options and product improvements regarding both product lines. In addition, the company will devote much space to the overarching themes of digitalization for the craftsmen and occupational safety. Digital services and connected machines, to one another and to areas such as office, material warehouses, purchasing and work preparation, will also be discussed. Safety for all machine categories will be a key issue in product development at the Altendorf Group in future years. One major goal of the Altendorf Group is not only to address themes of the future in the handcraft sector, but also to act as a momentum generator in this area. The topic of digitalization is a top priority here. Digitalization projects tailored to the needs of the international handcraft sector can be carried out much faster in the Group than they could have been by the individual companies. Under the Altendorf Group’s plans, digital services will play a bigger role in the future as a way of accelerating the process of offering the company’s entire service range to the market. One possible option would involve expanding the online registration of machines in order to provide faster and better spare part and repair services. The range of online maintenance support will be expanded significantly to reduce machine downtime. With the help of an international online user platform, the Altendorf Group intends to integrate its customers into a broad range of processes. After the acquisition of the Altendorf company in 2017, the investor Avedon together with the management team devised a concept that shows how they would position the company in the near future: The Altendorf Group would become a supplier of high-quality machines for the international craft businesses in the field of panel-based furniture manufacturing. In addition to the classical sliding table saw two additional categories of machines are planned, the Altendorf Group will become partner of the handcraft sector in the areas of cutting, edging and CNC boring. The first steps to successfully implement this concept around the world have already been taken: Hebrock, a company based in eastern Westphalia, Germany, whose edge-banding machines have made an international name for themselves, has been integrated into the Altendorf Group since April 2018, further acquisitions are planned. The Altendorf Group America was established in Mooresville, North Carolina at the beginning of 2019. www.altendorf.com 50 Years of Innovation and Technology Dedicated to the Future LIGNA is for Biesse the ultimate place for sharing about the opportunities provided by robotisation and the advantages offered by new technology. Thanks to years of investments in services and technology designed to help develop digital factories, Biesse is framing its new business strategy by placing people at the centre of its approach to designing machines. Guided by the Automaction concept, a guiding principle that fully describes the tangible impact of Biesse solutions on automated and interconnected production, Biesse confirms and further strengthens the bond between man and robot, not just by presenting a greater number of solutions that make use of robots on the stand, but also by demonstrating how people can benefit from them, validating their work and making production more efficient. The used of robotic systems in factories guarantees maximum production efficiency and helps simplify processes. No. 1 • March 2019 The Biesse stand at LIGNA will present 3 process solutions that have been automated from the raw material to the finished product. Several integrated lines and several robotised cells will also be present, offering incomparable levels of customisation, modularity and flexibility for the facility, fundamental requirements for contemporary production. In order to constantly make the factory more efficient, Biesse pairs robotisation and digitalisation with the development of new software and continues the innovative journey that started with SOPHIA, the IoT service platform, expanding its functionality to embrace predictability, which will greatly improve the customised interaction with the customer when it comes to the machine and will significantly reduce the time required for assistance. www.biessegroup.com 17 LIGNA Preview
