WEINIG Nutenbett – workpiece guidance during planing and moulding
The Nutenbett is an optional workpiece-guiding feature for planers and moulders processing demanding solid timber workpieces. WEINIG's original brochures refer to this equipment as “Nutenführung” (grooved guidance). It supports the machining of short, warped and difficult-to-guide timber.
Operation and construction
The grooved guidance system guides the workpiece through the machining area. Its purpose is to support controlled workpiece guidance during surface planing and edge jointing, and parallel machining of the workpieces. Its configuration is coordinated with the machine's feed system and machining units.
The documented applications also include surface planing and edge jointing of strongly curved or warped timber. Tapered or curved parts can be thickness-planed on a suitably equipped machine.
Applications
A Nutenbett is particularly relevant where short workpieces or irregular timber place greater demands on guidance. The manufacturer's documentation also lists workpieces that have not been cross-cut to length and the production of parts suitable for gluing.
Its benefit is to support consistent, dimensionally accurate machining. Suitability for a particular task depends on workpiece shape, dimensions and machine configuration.
Application and classification
Grooved guidance is an optional feature and is not standard equipment on every machine. Permitted workpiece lengths, cross-sections and feed speeds must be checked for the individual machine configuration. The designation Nutenbett alone does not establish universal machining limits.
