Precision, efficiency and sustainability in perfection: The optimised WhisperCut PLUS jointing cutterhead sets new standards in the furniture industry and is ideal for industrial applications. With improved cutting edges, it ensures maximum efficiency and durability with minimum wear.

When maximum precision meets maximum efficiency, innovation is the result. With the expansion of the patented ProfilCut Q Diamond system, we take the furniture industry to the next level - low running metre costs, minimal machine downtime and sustainable production without compromise. The new solution for edge processing is convincing where it is most important: directly in the process.

More and more users in the planing mill sector are attaching importance to clean, low-maintenance production processes - the demand for modern, user-friendly tool solutions is becoming increasingly louder, especially in industrial wood processing. We meet this demand with an innovative further development: The new planer/profile cutterhead with closed hydro clamping system combines state-of-the-art technology with user-orientated design - for more sustainability and process reliability.

Rustic timber façades with a characteristic ‘rough sawn’ look are increasingly trendy - especially in modern timber construction and in the creation of high-quality façade constructions. In order to realise this look with consistently high quality, precise four-sided processing of the solid wood is essential. We present the new Hydro planer cutterhead for textured surfaces, a tool that has been specially developed for this requirement.

With the HeliPlan, we offer a high-performance tool for a wide range of applications in different areas. The established jointing cutterhead has now been given a significant upgrade: a version with a wear-protected tool body ensures even greater stability and investment security - especially for processing demanding, abrasive materials. The result: first-class machining quality combined with a significantly longer tool life for the tool body.

In modern panel processing, manufacturing companies are increasingly faced with complex requirements. Changing quantities, a wide variety of carrier and decorative materials and increasing expectations in terms of finish quality and dimensional accuracy require high-performance tool solutions that can be used flexibly and are economical at the same time. With the new compact hogger, we present a tool solution that ensures maximum precision in the processing of panel materials and at the same time has lower purchase costs.

The introduction of the European Tool Machine Language (ETML) opens a new chapter in the woodworking industry. ETML is a manufacturer-independent, standardised language for tools and machines that makes it possible to manage tool data over the entire life cycle seamlessly - from initial set-up to regrinding and reuse. Developed under the leadership of EUMABOIS and supported by the VDMA, ETML creates a uniform, open and standardised interface for communication between machines and tools.

Plastics have become an integral part of modern industry. They are used in furniture and interior design as well as in mechanical and plant engineering. Thermoplastics in particular require the utmost care during processing, as they are susceptible to melting due to their chemical composition. In addition, marks and unclean edges lead to costly reworking or even to entire parts being rejected. With the PolyCut circular sawblades, Leitz presents an innovative solution for the precise and efficient cutting of demanding materials.

Sustainability starts small - and grows with every good deed. This year, the employees of the three sister companies Leitz, Boehlerit and Bilz once again committed themselves to this guiding principle as part of the company-wide WeCare Action Weeks. What began in 2022 as a Group-wide initiative to pool existing local sustainability projects has since developed into a firmly established tradition. Today, WeCare stands for practising responsibility in a global network that connects people across borders, inspires them and motivates them to get involved.

Au salon international LIGNA à Hanovre, Leitz s'est présenté comme le leader mondial des outils de précision pour l'usinage du bois massif et des matériaux à base de bois avec une présence visionnaire qui a établi de nouvelles normes à bien des égards. Le stand nouvellement conçu a séduit par son design moderne, qui alliait ouverture, dialogue, force d'innovation et durabilité sur le plan visuel et fonctionnel. Il en a résulté un espace d'échange et d'inspiration, où le client et ses processus occupaient une place centrale.
