Materials and their various requirements
Industrial processing begins with the material itself. WINTERSTEIGER offers a specialized solution for each material, with machines, tools, and process expertise all from a trusted partner.
Wood calls for smooth cutting surfaces and minimal material loss. Plastics are sensitive to heat while metals pose the highest demands in terms of dimensional accuracy. Composite materials pose a risk to machines and employees due to dust and delamination. WINTERSTEIGER offers tailored product solutions for all these materials, from precision cutting technology to fully automated production lines.
Wood
Wood presents different requirements depending on the type. Softwood calls for high throughput, hardwood is not forgiving when it comes to surface imperfections, and balsa wood requires particularly gentle handling. WINTERSTEIGER offers a continuous process chain for all types of wood, from thin-cutting and automation to Timber Repair & Cosmetics (TRC).
Composite materials
Delamination, fiber breakout, and CFRP dust pose a risk to components, machines, and employees. Low-vibration, controlled cutting processes ensure clean cut edges – including for safety-critical applications in the aerospace, automotive, and wind power industries.
Insulation materials
Mineral wool, PUR/PIR foams, or EPS/XPS boards demand precise cutting without material loss. HEMA band saws ensure clean edges and reproducible results – including for special applications such as fiberglass-reinforced insulation materials for LNG tanks.
Plastic
Thermoplastics react sensitively to frictional heat. Without specially tailored cutting parameters, edges smear and saw bands stick. WINTERSTEIGER combines HEMA band saw technology with automated processes for burr-free cut edges in series production.
Metals
Consistent dimensional accuracy in three-shift operation is the basic prerequisite for cost-effective material processing. Stable machine frames, low-vibration operation, and material-specific saw bands produced in-house ensure precise cuts, which can be scaled up to fully integrated lines.
Reference project: Industrial wood processing in practice
One project for an industrial client demonstrates how efficiency and quality in wood processing can be strategically increased. Tilly Holzindustrie GmbH optimized its thin-cutting process using customized WINTERSTEIGER products. Precise cuts, less waste, and an integrated Timber Repair & Cosmetics (TRC) system resulted in more stable production and better results.
