Mak­ing sophis­ti­cat­ed con­crete form­work from wood is often an art. What was once con­sid­ered impos­si­ble or dif­fi­cult, such as cre­at­ing futur­is­tic curves on large bal­conies, has become rou­tine for experts thanks to mod­ern CNC tech­nol­o­gy. Some­times it only takes a few days from con­cept to real­i­sa­tion, and a cus­tomised con­crete stair­case, for exam­ple, is ready for delivery.

BSP Spe­cial 2024

In the idyl­lic Swedish coun­try­side, Setra has estab­lished itself as one of the country’s largest tim­ber indus­try com­pa­nies. With a clear focus on sus­tain­abil­i­ty, only wood from respon­si­bly man­aged forests in Swe­den, some of the best soft­wood areas in the world, is used. Sev­en sawmills and a mod­ern pro­cess­ing unit trans­form these raw mate­ri­als into cli­­mate-friend­­ly prod­ucts such as glu­lam, planed tim­ber and cross lam­i­nat­ed timber.

The 5‑axis VISION-III-TT machin­ing cen­tre from Ger­man spe­cial machine man­u­fac­tur­er Reichen­bach­er has been in oper­a­tion at the Setra Group’s wood indus­try cen­tre in Lång­shyt­ta in cen­tral Swe­den since the end of last year, and this series des­ig­na­tion promis­es some­thing extra­or­di­nary. Equipped with a steel gird­er table with tim­ber sup­ports and con­vey­or sys­tem, the 20,000 mm x 3,100 mm work­ing area of the sys­tem alone is excep­tion­al and ide­al­ly suit­ed to the pro­cess­ing and pre­fab­ri­ca­tion of large CLT pan­els for house walls, ceil­ing and roof elements.

Hob­­by-Wohn­wa­­gen­w­erk from Fock­bek in the Rend­s­burg-Eck­­ern­förde dis­trict has been build­ing car­a­vans and motorhomes for almost six decades. Some time ago, the com­pa­ny was look­ing for a replace­ment for the 30-year-old machines used to fin­ish the out­er bod­ies. The com­pa­ny found what it was look­ing for in the spe­cial sys­tems man­u­fac­tur­er Reichen­bach­er Hamuel, which sup­plied state-of-the-art CNC technology.

Ophir Case Study

The met­al­work­ing indus­try is expe­ri­enc­ing a rev­o­lu­tion thanks to addi­tive man­u­fac­tur­ing meth­ods that enable more effi­cient process­es and inno­v­a­tive designs. Reichen­bach­er Hamuel GmbH has rec­og­nized this trend and devel­oped indus­tri­al addi­tive man­u­fac­tur­ing sys­tems in a very short time. With the Ophir Beam­Peek sys­tem for beam analy­sis and pow­er mea­sure­ment from MKS Instru­ments, Reichen­bach­er uses a solu­tion that impress­es with its quick and easy han­dling and com­pre­hen­sive mea­sure­ment options.

Demo­graph­ics in Ger­many have an immense influ­ence on the con­struc­tion mar­ket. Over the last 30 years, the pro­por­tion of 25 to 44-year-olds has decreased, while the pro­por­tion of old­er peo­ple aged 65 and over has increased. This has con­se­quences for hous­ing con­cepts, as the group of peo­ple want­i­ng to build sin­­gle-fam­i­­ly homes is shrink­ing; the demand for mul­ti-fam­i­­ly homes and com­mer­cial con­struc­tion is grow­ing at the same rate. Bauer Holzbau is focus­ing on these growth mar­kets and is respond­ing to the chang­ing con­di­tions with mod­ern pro­duc­tion methods.

For the third time, numer­ous rep­re­sen­ta­tives from the tim­ber con­struc­tion indus­try met at Reichen­bach­er Hamuel at the end of Octo­ber for an expert meet­ing. The top­ic was indus­tri­al pro­duc­tion in tim­ber con­struc­tion, and around 30 guests attend­ed the event at the company’s head­quar­ters. A fur­ther 90 fol­lowed the pre­sen­ta­tions online, which focussed on think­ing and man­u­fac­tur­ing in mod­u­lar con­struc­tion in an indus­tri­al context.

The small Nos join­ery from the Wet­ter­au dis­trict of Hesse has arrived in the mod­ern CNC world: Found­ed in 1949, the com­pa­ny said good­bye to tedious, old-fash­ioned man­u­fac­tur­ing a year ago. The ide­al entry into CNC tech­nol­o­gy was pro­vid­ed by the Opus machin­ing cen­ter from Reichenbacher.

Com­pa­nies in indus­try and trade face a major chal­lenge when it comes to automa­tion. Because machines alone are not enough — in order to guar­an­tee con­sis­tent­ly high prod­uct qual­i­ty, intel­li­gent soft­ware must be used so that employ­ees can con­trol process­es, oper­ate machines and car­ry out pro­gram­ming with­out errors, even after only a short train­ing period.

By invest­ing in mod­ern 5‑axis CNC tech­nol­o­gy, Moralt AG has not only notice­ably increased its flex­i­bil­i­ty and per­for­mance. At the same time, the man­u­fac­tur­er of door blanks has opened a new chap­ter in terms of indi­vid­u­al­i­ty and data consistency.
