Dave McFarland (Stiles) and Werner Brinkhaus (Weeke) reporting from LignaThe WEEKE stand encompasses a complete range of drilling/machining solutions, from the small shop to the most highly automated production factory requirement. WEEKE continues to innovate and set the standard for customer focused technologies.
WEEKE is breaking new ground with their nested-based manufacturing (NBM) automation solutions, offering multiple entry points to the NBM market.
Weeke Vantage 200 – Linear Flow Nesting Automation SystemIn combination with a flexible Ligmatech storage-and-retrieval system, the WEEKE Vantage-200 Linear-Flow Nesting Automation systemallows for fully automated panel presentation, automatic in-feed/out-feed and manual sorting of ready-to-assemble box components.
Our new Weeke Vantage-100 Linear-Flow Nesting Automation system features an ultra-compact footprint, fully automatic part labeling and a unique over/under in-feed/out-feed system designed to minimize shop-floor space requirements!
