WEINIG Unimat 1000 Star – Four-sided planer and moulder
The WEINIG Unimat 1000 Star is a four-sided planer and moulder for multi-sided solid wood machining. It combines planing and profiling in a throughfeed process. Five to seven spindles provide different machining sequences for straight and profiled workpieces.
A distinctive feature is its memory function: settings for an established profile can be stored and displayed again later. The operator adjusts the corresponding positions with handwheels using the electronic displays. The memory function therefore assists repeat setup; it does not automatically position all axes.
Machining and Machine Configuration
Each spindle has its own motor. A cardan drive and pneumatically loaded feed rollers transport the workpiece. Feed height is adjusted by motor. The machine includes a 2 m infeed surfacing table, a driven outfeed table roller and a full sound-reducing safety enclosure.
Pressure and guide elements at the left-hand and top spindles have central adjustment. Their electronic indicators are integrated into the memory function. Replaceable table plates adjust to the vertical spindle tool cutting circles. A hardened table plate is positioned ahead of the first bottom spindle.

Application and classification
The Unimat 1000 Star is suitable for recurring planing and profiling tasks with different workpiece dimensions. Stored settings assist repeat production of previously manufactured profiles. Spindle configuration and optional equipment determine the capabilities of the individual machine.
