Furniture manufacturers have found that WEINIG's HS 200 offers the cost-effective solution they are looking for in the production of high-quality products. Materials from the mills are maximized as the length of the piece no longer determines the value as much as the fact that the material has had knots and other defects removed before finger jointing. The result is a beautiful, engineered, product with a surface free of defects and blemishes. While WEINIG optimization technology provides continuity in the quality of the finish, a complementary mixture of individual lengths can be provided by employees, or by automated material handling systems such as the spin feed system (pictured below). The random length blocks feed from the conveyor onto the spinning table in order to align the material to be finger jointed. From that point, the material flows seamlessly into the shapers where it is finger jointed, glued, and pressed into the predetermined length specified. Synchronized, servo- and frequency-controlled drive units provide a feed speed that is immediately responsive to any changes in the production line.

From the modular design of WEINIG's finger jointing lines to the cost-effective, environmentally responsible optimization of material, manufacturers worldwide are reaping the benefits of using finger jointed materials. Precision, quality, and value-from WEINIG.
