WEINIG Powermat 500 – Four-sided planer and moulder
The WEINIG Powermat 500 is a four-sided planer and moulder for through-feed planing and profiling of solid wood. Four to eight spindles allow different machining sequences. Its working range is 20–230 mm in width and 8–120 mm in height. Applications include wooden profiles and window components, as well as structural timber processing with the appropriate equipment package.
The spindle speed is 8,000 rpm. The frequency-controlled feed is infinitely adjustable from 5 to 30 m/min. The WEINIG Memory System allows stored settings for previously produced profiles to be recalled.
Machining and Machine Configuration
The machine has a heavy cast iron construction and a 2 m straightening table. The straightening table and fence have a 10 mm adjustment range. Pneumatically loaded feed rollers support workpiece guidance with varying workpiece thicknesses. The infeed roller ahead of the first bottom spindle can be raised and lowered pneumatically from the control panel.
Two spring-loaded side pressure rollers ahead of the first left spindle guide short workpieces and small cross-sections. Adjustable table plates in the vertical spindle area, a rebating unit with a rebate cutter and a full safety enclosure complete the configuration.
The equipment overview specifies one freely selectable PowerLock tool mounting. It uses a concentric HSK connection and enables tool changes at the push of a button. This does not imply that every spindle is equipped with PowerLock; the actual tool mountings must be checked on the individual machine.

The motor ratings are equipment-dependent ranges, not a uniform motor specification for every machine. Figures for the second bottom spindle and universal spindle apply only to configurations fitted with these spindles. The brochure also includes optional equipment and does not identify every item of the standard scope of supply separately.
Application and classification
The Powermat 500 combines machining on multiple spindles with stored profile settings and PowerLock tooling technology. It is suitable for recurring planing and profiling tasks with changing workpiece dimensions. The spindle arrangement, motor ratings, tool mountings and equipment packages determine the capabilities of an individual machine.
