Vollmer To Show 7 New Machines at European Woodworking Show

27 March 2015

Working to the maxim of 'Leading precision', Vollmer is presenting its enhanced portfolio at this year's LIGNA World Fair for the Forestry and Wood Industries in Hanover, Germany. The Swabian company is introducing the wood and sawmill industry to its new grinding and erosion machines for sharpening circular saws, band and gang saws, as well as rotary tools. On its stand (Hall 13, Stand A62), Vollmer will be showcasing a total of seven innovations to representatives from wood processing industries, building on its market position as a full-scope service provider in the timber industry.

The ideal tool for sharpening any circular saw
The circular saw is an all-time classic tool in the timber industry – it is virtually impossible to find a sawmill or wood processing company whose operations do not rely on the circular saw and its performance. Five of the seven new sharpening machines are designed for carbide-tipped circular saws. These are the CP 650 and CPF 650, together with the CHP, CHC and CHF presented at the start of 2015, each of which is available in 840 and 1300 versions. All sharpening machines come with the new Vollmer operating concept. This revolves around the use of a multi-function wheel that offers intuitive machine operation.

Vollmer is the right partner for sawmills
Meeting with the representatives from the sawmill industry at the Ligna fair is always a highlight for Vollmer. Vollmer machines are used in the sharpening rooms of sawmills across the globe, where they assume full responsibility for sharpening band and gang saws. Among other things, Vollmer will be showing its new CAG 200 sharpening machine for gang saws at the Ligna fair, as well as the CA 210 and CAF 310 sharpening machines or the GPA 200 stelliting machine. The Vollmer subsidiary Loroch from Mörlenbach rounds off the company's presence at the Ligna fair with the new EVOLUTION K850-M automatic saw blade sharpening machine which, thanks to four CNC-controlled axes of motion, allows sharpening, re-toothing and automatically chamfers HSS/CV circular saw blades.

Solid carbide or diamond-tipped rotary tools
From the field of tool grinding, Vollmer presents its Vgrind 160 grinding machine for grinding solid carbide tools such as drills and milling cutters. Thanks to its two vertically arranged spindles, the Vgrind 160 enables multi-level machining for the first time ever. Vollmer will also be showing the QXD 250 eroding machine for PCD rotary tool manufacture in Hanover. Combined with the new ExLevel PRO software, this not only allows diamond-tipped drills and milling cutters to be produced precisely, but also to digitally simulate their manufacture in advance.
