Michael Weinig Group
Weining Wood Moulders are their claim
to fame!
The Weinig Group is one of the largest global manufacturers
of solid wood processing equipment. It's head office is in
Germany with distribution and service facilities worldwide,
including major offices in Asia, the UK, United States, Australia
and even South Africa.
In the mid eighties it was sold to Kuwaiti investors and
the Weinig family members retired from management. The company
ultimately ended up as a public corporation buying numerous
other tool fabricators along the way.
Weinig began life as a manufacturer of agricultural equipment,
in the early 1900's converting its facilities after World
War II to develop its own line of wood processing equipment.
The Michael Weinig Group is probably best known on the North
American continent as a producer of some of the best wood
moulders on the market.
In fact I own a Unimat Gold Weinig Moulder. It allows for
fast and efficient production of wood
mouldings without taking up a huge amount of floor space
or a lot of dollars. For a small shop like my own, it allows
economic and efficient production without the added pressure
of constant use to justify high capital cost.
Today, Weining has stepped up their automation with the introduction
of their Powermat moulder series, that is completely automated
with cutters, fences, table plates, and even feed rollers
positioned with just the push of a button. Everything is controlled
from a computer interface.
Their line of wood moulders is supported by grinding equipment.
WEINIG's Rondamat Series is a selection of tool grinding machines
that integrate custom profile knife grinding with quick set-up
capabilities on all their wood molders. They are able to handle
a variety of materials from high speed steel, stellite, and
carbide. Their product lineup includes tool grinders that
sharpen straight knives, re-grind of fingerjoint cutters and
generate new and resharpen standard profile knives from Plexiglas
or metal templates. After all a great moulder is of little
value if the tooling doesn't match in accuracy and quality.
Today through in-house development and corporate acquisitions,
the Michael Weinig Group is a leader not only in wood moulders,
but also fingerjointing machines under the GRECON name, high
speed planers under the WACO name and optimizing crosscut
and rip saws under the names DIMTER and RAIMANN.
