Attractive prospects

Searching and finding trends

With about 15,000 pre­fab hou­ses, Gus­sek Haus is among the most renow­ned manu­fac­tu­r­ers in Ger­ma­ny. A VISION-II-ST Sprint has been in use sin­ce 2013, the intel­li­gent con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on of which dra­sti­cal­ly redu­ces tool chan­ging times and has thus made the line the core of stair­ca­se manufacturing

Flexible 5‑axes machining at Westerkappeln

The Derix group of com­pa­nies has spe­cia­li­sed in glued lami­na­ted tim­ber for con­s­truc­tion pur­po­ses. Their prio­ri­ty is on hall struc­tures, which includes also high­ly com­plex shapes. They are working with three iden­ti­cal lines of type VISION-III-TT 5‑axes, each of which is equip­ped with a beam table 16,500 x 3,600 mm that con­sists of 23 steel tra­ver­ses with woo­den beam tops, as well as with a conveyor.

House at the push of a button

First meeting of experts on the topic of timber construction

On Novem­ber 9, 2021, we hos­ted the first expert mee­ting – the focus was on the future of tim­ber con­s­truc­tion. The objec­ti­ve of our expert mee­ting was to offer plan­ners, con­trac­tors and all tho­se invol­ved in con­s­truc­tion, a com­mon plat­form to swap ide­as about the role of wood as an eco­lo­gi­cal mate­ri­al and the advan­ta­ges of auto­ma­ted processing.

An ingenious interpretation of sustainability

High degree of prefabrication obtained by through-feed systems

The Chiem­gau-based com­pa­ny Reg­nau­er Fer­tig­bau GmbH pro­du­ces house walls and cei­lings. The high­ly effi­ci­ent ECO-3313‑A con­ti­nuous pro­duc­tion line was smooth­ly inte­gra­ted into the exis­ting pro­duc­tion line in 2021 and has sin­ce been a cen­tral com­po­nent in the over­all process.

Planking parts in timber frame construction

Expert talk with Thomas Czwielong, Managing Director Reichenbacher

Plan­king com­pon­ents, made of various mate­ri­als and inten­ded for dif­fe­rent func­tions, place high demands on the logi­stics of the pro­duc­tion faci­li­ties and on the sequen­cing. ”A house at your fin­ger­tips“ is our cla­im, which we take as a basis when con­side­ring the indus­tri­al pro­duc­tion of dif­fe­rent modu­les for house construction

The future of timber construction

Second expert meeting on the topic of timber construction

The expert mee­ting took place for the second time at Rei­chen­ba­cher Hamu­el on Novem­ber 9, 2022. Important topics were how much indi­vi­dua­li­ty a socie­ty can still afford in view of scar­ce resour­ces in buil­ding, or what a fac­to­ry of the future could look like.

Timber frames for green building

Setra Group Långshyttan

The Rei­chen­ba­cher VISION-III-TT 5‑axis sys­tem, the series desi­gna­ti­on of which in its­elf pro­mi­ses some­thing extra­or­di­na­ry, was instal­led in Lang­shyt­tan in cen­tral Swe­den at the end of 2023. Equip­ped with a steel beam table with woo­den sup­ports and con­vey­or, the sys­tem fea­tures an impres­si­ve working area of 20,000 mm x 3,100 mm. This enables the pro­ces­sing of very lar­ge CLT panels for house walls, cei­ling and roof ele­ments.

Sustainable building with wood

CNC machining for buildings of the future

The group of peo­p­le wil­ling to build sin­gle-fami­ly homes is decre­asing; to the same ext­ent, the demand for sus­tain­ab­ly built mul­ti-fami­ly homes and con­s­truc­tion in the com­mer­cial sec­tor is incre­asing. Bau­er Holz­bau focu­ses on the­se growth mar­kets and responds to the chan­ging con­di­ti­ons with modern pro­duc­tion methods.

Timber construction with a future

State of the art technology

The Swiss tim­ber con­s­truc­tion com­pa­ny Renggli in Schötz spe­cia­li­zes in ener­gy-effi­ci­ent tim­ber house con­s­truc­tion and is one of the pio­neers of Miner­gie stan­dards. Now the com­pa­ny is set­ting new stan­dards with its new pro­duc­tion plant, which ope­ned at the begin­ning of March and is one of the most effi­ci­ent of its kind in Europe.
