Laser solutions for woodworking professionals
Higher quality, more efficiency, less waste
Precision meets experience: How laser solutions support the woodworking industry
Wood has been an elemental resource for mankind for more than 700,000 years. It provides warmth, energy, and protection. Wood is built into our houses and apartments, and we sit on wooden chairs at wooden desks. To maximize the efficiency of this valuable resource, the wood processing industry is turning to laser solutions. Learn all about the challenges and opportunities of using laser technology in the wood sector on this page.
Your challenge:
Economic wood production in a changing world
Like many other trades, the wood industry faces numerous serious challenges that can threaten the competitiveness and growth of companies:
Material procurement
The woodworking industry is dependent on a stable and sustainable supply of raw materials. However, climate change, deforestation and illegal logging result in shortages and price increases.
Competition
In a global market, competition often comes from countries with lower labor and production costs, which can lead to price pressure and margin erosion.
Innovation
Managers must meet the demands of modern technologies and processes to remain competitive. Digitization and automation of woodworking processes are the most urgent tasks.
Sustainability
Companies are facing increasing demands for sustainability and environmental protection to meet legal regulations and customer expectations. The use of certified wood and the reduction of waste are important issues here.
Shortage of skilled labor:
The industry is dependent on qualified employees. However, the shortage of skilled workers and demographic change mean that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find and retain qualified personnel.

In action:
how laser solutions convince in application
In the woodworking industry, laser light is ideal for applications where work material must be precisely aligned with saw lines, routing paths or drilling points. But you can also achieve noticeably more cost-efficient, accurate and faster results with laser solutions for glue and nail binders.

[Laser projector ZLP2]
In staircase construction, the use of laser projectors saves material costs due to the minimized waste. The stair treads to be milled can be optimally aligned and displayed on the material according to the course of their grain with the help of the software offered. This saves working time and increases throughput.

In order to position the CNC vacuum cups optimally, the laser projector can be used to display both the outline of the material to be machined and the contours of the vacuum cups. Milling edges of workpieces are projected onto a material whenever damage to the suction cups by the milling cutter is to be prevented, material positioning is to be facilitated or material utilization is to be increased.

The laser projectors map the shape of the future truss. This is used to position the clamping stanchions in the glue bed. The amount of lamellar material can thus be precisely determined. For further processing of the finished truss on a CNC system, the contour of the truss is projected and shifted to the actual position of the truss. The new position is then transmitted to the machine control.

Here, line lasers are mounted on linear axes above the machine infeed and coupled with the saw blades. Based on the red or green lines projected onto the screed, the saw blades can be adjusted to achieve the optimum result during trimming and cutting.
Product recommendation:
[Positioning laser ZM18]
During edging, a line laser simulates the course of the cut by a red or green line on the wood to cut as close as possible to the edge of the forest. The laser is mounted either above the machine on the workshop ceiling or directly on the chip hood.
