Geiss
Installation is from Bischofsmais in Bavaria, where Geiss produces wooden buildings, mostly of a residential nature. The initiator of the investment in the CNC line was a school project, which would be difficult to produce under current conditions. The basis of the existing production is the Hundegger K2i milling centre, which prepares elements for roof and ceiling structures as well as for wall panels. The equipment allows the use of interesting construction details such as angled recessed reinforcing bars, interlocking pins for settling walls and so on.
The new panel line consists of two 12-metre-long tables with a working width of 3.8 metres. The first framing table is fully equipped for rectangular and angled walls, as well as pneumatic clamps for floor and ceiling panels. The second table is a simple workstation where the insulation is inserted after the panels are turned, the other side is sheathed, the fibre board insulation is stapled and the partition is produced. Movements set the tables for the work positions, panel flipping and machining under the PONTEC portal.
I don't know if we can say that this is a trend, but this line is not oriented towards serial prefabrication of standard panels, but towards individual production of very complicated sandwiches. The German experience also shows that current production is more oriented towards the production of more expensive buildings with a variety of wall compositions.
