LIGNA Hall 13 | Stand C26 New Possibilities in Prefabricated Housing Construction Efficient Insulation Technology WEINMANN is presenting solutions for timber construction, with the latest developments in machine technology and software exhibited in live demos and presentations. Fully automated production lines and entry-level CNC-controlled machines for automated production allow for greater prefabrication and increased efficiency throughout the entire production process. Until now, the insertion of insulation has represented a crucial ”bottleneck” in automated element production. This is now a thing of the past, as the WEINMANN multifunction bridge WALLTEQ M-380 insuFill provides you with an efficient solution for inserting insulation material. Thanks to the combination of blow-in plate and multifunction bridge, loose insulation material is inserted into timber frame elements in a process that is both logical and fully automatic, with the opportunity for a final visual inspection. Simple exterior walls, gable triangles, TJI elements, and special elements can be insulated in a high-quality, economical and environmentally friendly manner. Despite their substantial density, even passive house elements can be injected with a homogeneous insulating layer - with no need for manual cutting, which involves waste, and eliminating the risk of dimension tolerances. During the insulating process, the multifunction bridge positions the blow-in plate fully automatically and transfers the data from the work preparation (e.g. the geometry and size of the component, type of insulating material, and quantity of insulating material) via a special interface. Based on this data, the blow-in plate fills every cavity with insulating material as an autonomous unit; even small cavities and special shapes present no problem. It is already possible to insert cellulose, wood fiber insulation, and mineral fiber insulation, with further insulation materials to follow in the future. During the blow-in process, the amount of insulation material that has already been blown into the compartment is continuously monitored. This ensures that the insulation material is applied with quick and even compression in compliance with the manufacturer‘s specifications. Depending on the capacity required, there are various options for fully automatic blow-in solutions, from a WALLTEQ M-380 insuFill plus fastening units and processing units for the production of 30 - 50 houses per year, right up to multifunction bridges with a separate insulating station for capacities of up to 400 houses per year and above. Multifunction bridge WALLTEQ M-380 insuFill for fully automatic insertion of loose insulation material. The multifunction bridge provides businesses with a machine that can be used to carry out all work in the field of element construction. The WALLTEQ M-380 insuFill can be expanded to meet individual needs, and is therefore highly versatile. The integrated 12-slot tool changer supplies the right tool without delay, thereby reducing setup times to a minimum and increasing efficiency. The fixing, sawing, routing and drilling takes place fully automatically. Combining element production and the insulating process on a single workstation saves a significant amount of space in the hall. Practical advantages: • Insulation of a consistently high and demonstrable quality • Increased efficiency • High level of flexibility when choosing insulation materials • Workplaces are more pleasant thanks to ergonomic work processes and a significantly reduced dust level • Reduced cost and effort in terms of storage and manipulation of the insulation material • Significant material savings due to reduced material waste Multifunction bridge WALLTEQ M-380 insuFill. www.homag.com/weinmann 26 No. 2 • May 2019
Service with Perspective Lean Processes, Optimized Costs and Production Processes Flatrate for tool service Hall 15 | Stand F16 T +49 2961 7405-0 info@rembe.de Leitz service concept: Flatrate tool service. At the LIGNA, Leitz will present convincing, field-tested service concepts, once again demonstrating its special flexibility and customer orientation as a manufacturing service provider. The fact that service is not just service may not be a secret for many people. However, the fact that regrinding service is not always regrinding service still surprises many tool users in the wood and wood based material processing industry. For the majority of Leitz service employees, positive surprises and astonishment from customers have almost become routine. Feedback from customers, but also the figures prove, that the personal and professionally qualified service in producer quality from Leitz is an absolute highlight in the range of services offered by the world market leader and is gladly accepted. The figures of the Leitz Service alone are impressive. Around 15 million tools per year are efficiently and flexibly serviced in Leitz‘s worldwide service center - tools of any kind and any manufacturer. LeitzXPress Button Leitz has also been a pioneer in the field of accompanying services for a long time. Last year, for example, the LeitzXPress Button was presented at the Holz Handwerk trade fair. A technical service concept, that enables Leitz customers to contact Leitz quickly and easily at the touch of a button via an online interface. The responsible Leitz service employee receives a notification per e-mail and contacts the customer personally within an hour, helps to solve problems, accepts service orders or arranges an on-site application specialist for complex challenges. As a second service concept, Leitz presents its flatrate for tool service at the LIGNA. Here, the world market leader targets directly mediumsized to large companies from industry and trade, who want to design their processes in the field of tool preparation and tool management efficiently and transparently. The consistently high quality and performance of the tools are clearly in focus. Based on the Leitz Service model, the Leitz specialists determine the total requirements of a company on the basis of existing key figures and evaluation. Taking into account the current situation of the customer, a specific accounting schedule is created, which offers the customer great savings potential, especially in the administrative area. In case of changes in the process flow, the accounting is adapted accordingly and always offers maximum transparency for both partners. Depending on the size of the company and the amount of tools, Leitz offers various billing models that can be variably and above all individually adapted to the situation of the customer. Current information on service times, quantities and costs can be called up at any time in order to make tool and process costs plannable, optimize processes and make targeted use of capacities and resources. Complete Care The premium offer in the service sector is Complete Care, an ”all-round carefree package” from Leitz that optimally combines various service offers with each other. With Complete Care, the customer does not have to worry about the procurement, management and reconditioning of his complete tool inventory. Leitz handles the complete tool management: All the small and timeconsuming processes involved in selection, disposition, procurement, provisioning and stocking are thus eliminated on the part of the customer. Tool service is of course included - complete with ordering and pick-up and delivery service. Even the training of employees, for example in the handling of tools, is part of this, and the optimization of machining processes also is part of Leitz’s complete offer. www.leitz.org © REMBE® | All rights reserved PROTECT YOUR PLANT!
