The Weinig product range: complete woodworking solutions for modern manufacturing

For more than 125 years, Weinig has been part of the woodworking landscape, quietly powering workshops, factories and timber specialists with machinery built for precision, productivity and longevity

The Essetre TECHNO SAW joinery machine is the perfect solution for processing workpieces with smaller cross-sections

Today, that heritage has evolved into one of the most comprehensive solid wood processing portfolios in the industry, supporting everyone from small craft workshops to high-volume industrial producers.

However, behind the machines is something just as important: a team of application specialists who understand how timber behaves in the real world and how to help customers get the very best from it. The moulder range is where that philosophy truly comes to life.

Professional moulding

At entry level, the SOLID PROFILE P 300 gives smaller workshops a straightforward route into professional moulding.

At the other end of the scale, the SOLID PROFILE H 4000 delivers industrial output at speeds of up to 250m/min, built for continuous, high-demand production.

Between these sits a machine where much of the day-to-day innovation is felt: the SOLID PROFILE P 700 and 1500.

Equipped with PowerLock tooling and the SYSTEM PLUS setting system, these machines offer significant productivity benefits over traditional spindle technology. Tool changes at the press of a button, simple setting guidance via digital readouts and spindles running at up to 12,000rpm mean these machines can comfortably replace two conventional moulders, while genuinely opening the door to profitable machining of small profile batches.

Material preparation

One of the stand-out machines available from Weinig is the best-selling SOLID CUBE PLANE, which is renowned for its versatility, ease of use and impressive productivity gains. Designed for speed and simplicity, it removes the complexity from producing PAR material to order, without the need for a highly skilled operator.

With a clean touch-screen interface and guided adjustments, size changes can be completed in moments, delivering consistent results in a single pass.

Users of traditional overhand planers and thicknessers have been astonished by the productivity improvements delivered by this simple yet competitively priced machine.

Where sectional capacity is a concern, the SOLID PLANE W series can handle widths of up to 1,500mm and thicknesses of up to 500mm.

The SOLID PLANE CUBE automatic planer impresses with an astonishingly simple operating concept combined with a minimum of work

Material preparation prior to moulding is an area where margins can be severely affected if material yield isn’t optimised. This is where the SOLID RIP series of multi-blade rip saws comes into its own.

Available with either the patented QuickFix system for rapid manual blade positioning or advanced moving-blade technology, the range is designed to help manufacturers achieve maximum value from increasingly expensive raw materials. Put simply, seeing exactly what you’re going to cut before making the cut is key to achieving optimum material yield.

Cross-cutting & material optimisation

Cross-cutting is another critical area where efficiency and material optimisation can make a major difference to profitability. The SOLID CUT range has been developed to support applications ranging from high-volume pallet and packing case production to premium hardwood furniture manufacturing.

The SOLID CUT PF 300 offers affordable, general-purpose cross-cutting with length optimisation as standard, while the more advanced SOLID CUT PF 550 range provides a wide variety of options suitable for almost any application.

Built with durability, ergonomics and long-term reliability in mind, these machines are designed for demanding production environments. Many continue operating in multi-shift factories after more than 20 years of service – a reflection of both the engineering quality and long-term value associated with the Weinig Group.

Supporting these core machines is the SYSTEM PLUS concept, designed to streamline tooling preparation and machine setup for maximum efficiency.

Digital control & automation

From manual profile grinders to the advanced SOLID GRIND 1000 P CNC profile grinder, the range provides the precision equipment needed to maintain moulder productivity at the highest level. Combined with digital tool measuring systems, SYSTEM PLUS delivers seamless digital control from profile design through to “first-piece-right” production.

Many modern woodworking manufacturers have now adopted this fully integrated approach, helping to reduce setup times, minimise waste and achieve some of the lowest production costs available in the market today.

CNC solutions for every manufacturing requirement

Weinig’s CNC machinery portfolio also covers virtually every area of modern woodworking production. From 3- and 5-axis CNC routers with intuitive software for complex applications to the SOLID CNC CR range – perfectly suited to modern timber window production – the range is designed to support flexible, efficient manufacturing across multiple sectors.

The SOLID CUT PF 550 D drilling unit is the ideal addition for processing workpieces that need to be pre-drilled and cut to length before final assembly. It is particularly suitable for use with mounting and through holes in the range from 4 to 35mm. This includes, among other things, visible façades and building cladding, terraces or substructures for soft furnishings and urban furniture

More than 700 SOLID CNC machines are now installed worldwide, with leading UK manufacturers including Input Joinery and Allan Brothers benefiting from batch-size-one production capabilities that significantly reduce manufacturing costs while increasing flexibility.

For glulam and timber-frame construction, the Essetre TECHNO range of CNC centres provides solutions for everything from straightforward angle cutting to highly complex beam processing.

The TECHNO SAW handles simple and compound angle cuts with ease, while the TECHNO FAST is designed for effortless machining of large section beams and more advanced applications. Every project is assessed individually by application specialists to ensure customers receive the right solution to maximise productivity and improve operational performance.

For anyone looking to see the technology in action, the extensive showroom in Abingdon, Oxfordshire offers the opportunity to explore the machinery first-hand and speak directly with Weinig’s knowledgeable, application-focused team.
