High-performance equipment for manufacturers of doors, windows and houses on wooden structures

Building with wood is increasingly preferred worldwide. The use of a renewable material with a negative carbon footprint, industrialized wood with much improved properties and strength compared to raw wood, the possibility to build quickly, the high energy efficiency of the resulting houses are just some of the reasons why wood is being used in many countries in Europe, the USA and Canada. Fast construction, on the one hand, and energy-efficient construction, on the other, are made possible by factory processing and assembly of the elements that make up a house. For this to be done accurately, so that the joints are perfect, high-performance machines and equipment are needed. This is what Accessory Equipment - a range of flexible, dynamic and high-performance Biesse machines for builders of doors, windows, staircases or houses on wooden structures.

Biesse equipment for home builders

CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) is a building material made by gluing several layers of wood perpendicular to each other. It has been used as a structural element in houses in Europe and around the world for many years. Its special properties have allowed it to be used to construct 10-storey buildings and even higher. For some time CLT panels have been used and even manufactured in Romania.

If CLT is used timidly, the poles and laminated wood beams (glulam) are the basic elements of any timber frame house, and wooden roof elements are used whether the house is made of wood or traditional materials (concrete, brick). The overlapping of several layers of wood along the same direction of the grain - lamination, as it is also known in the industry - results in building elements that are very strong, elastic and much lighter than ordinary building materials.

All these elements are machined in the factory. Profiles for joints, cut-outs for doors and windows in the case of CLT walls are made in the factory and require very high precision. For these types of machining, Biesse offers CNC UNITEAM. Specially designed for the construction industry, they are robust and reliable. Processing is done quickly while maintaining the high quality of the final product and the manufacturer benefits from a significant increase in productivity.

The UNITEAM range includes several machines:

• UNITEAM CLT 400. As its name suggests, it is dedicated to the processing of CLT panels, with a rigid structure that guarantees the absence of vibrations. It is equipped with a robust clamping system that ensures correct positioning of the workpiece on the machine.
• UNITEAM UT - was designed for processing CLT panels or very long elements. The worktable can clamp the element so that small workpieces up to 24 m long elements can be machined.
• UNITEAM E MIX - It is a CNC designed for small and medium-sized companies. It can be customized according to customer needs. For increased productivity the CNC can be equipped with two loading stations.
• UNITEAM RC - It is a compact, ergonomic and flexible CNC thanks to its modular system and two loading stations. It operates at high speeds while maintaining very good machining quality. The modern design ensures good visibility of the working area.

The energy efficiency of homes depends a lot on the quality of windows and doors

The energy efficiency of houses, heat loss and reducing energy consumption and costs are concerns of today's times. Old houses are insulated and new ones are built to meet certain criteria to meet EU requirements. But heat loss is not only through walls, floors and roofs. There is no point in having 25 cm thick thermal insulation in the walls and an insulating outer layer if the doors and windows are not properly constructed and fitted.

To reduce heat loss in winter and prevent warm air from entering in summer, double-glazed windows are used. They are fitted in both new and old houses, replacing the traditional ones. It is the first step in reducing energy losses. The frames are very different from those used in the past. Laminated wood is used, which is more stable, thicker and stronger, gaskets are fitted, and the glass used is 2 or 3 layers. In order for the gaskets to seal very well and for the glass not to leak, delicate and precise machining is needed. CNCs are the perfect machines for such machining.

In the Accesoria Echipamente portfolio there are also Biesse CNCs dedicated to the machining of wooden elements used in the manufacture of doors and windows. This is just a brief presentation, the complete information is for you to discover here.

• UNITEAM CK - It is equipped with a robust door production structure and is designed for medium to large factories that need flexibility, but also a solution to meet the demands of modern design.
• Rover C - The CNC can be used for the production of furniture as well as door, window or staircase elements, regardless of their size. It's designed to work with large tooling and aggregates while maintaining precision and smoothness.
• Winline 16 - It is a multi-center for the production of doors and windows dedicated to medium and small factories. It can work small batches and can be used for the most sophisticated machining.

High performance machines for which Accesoria Echipamente technical teams offer modern and professional support

Biesse is the manufacturer that surprised us last year with Sophia platform, which brought the Internet of Things concept to the woodworking industry. With it, Biesse machines can remotely diagnose, analyze and prevent errors. There is a continuous and permanent connection between Biesse machines all over the world and the control center, allowing online technical intervention, sometimes even before the customer realizes that something has happened.

The technical team of Accesoria Echipamente has trained alongside the Biesse specialists in one of their laboratories to offer solutions tailored to the specific production needs of each of those interested. After many hours of training at the Biesse headquarters, they are ready to provide the necessary assistance, both in terms of how to operate the machines and to solve any problems. Taking advantage of all the facilities offered by the Sophia platform, technical assistance can also be provided online.
