SEAMLESS DOOR LINES
NO STANDARD DOORS.
NO COMPROMISES
For door manufacturers looking to produce an increasing variety of designs efficiently and with consistent process stability.
Market requirements are evolving rapidly. Smaller batch sizes, greater product variety, and increasing time pressure are creating new challenges for manufacturing processes every day.
This is exactly where the WEMHÖNER DOOR CONCEPT comes in: with seamless production lines, coordinated processes, and a clear focus on stability, material flow, and automation.
The press is often not the real challenge.
The biggest challenges arise before and after the press.
In many plants, the greatest challenges do not arise from the press technology itself, but from the processes before and after it. Materials are fed manually, buffers build up between individual production stages, and product variations introduce instability into the workflow. Every additional interface costs time, stability, and efficiency.
The result is a material flow without true continuity and a production process whose profitability often depends on batch size. This becomes a critical challenge when the market demands greater flexibility.
INCREASING PRODUCT VARIETY
Short cycle times and frequent changeovers increase the demands on the production process.
MATERIAL CONGESTION
Materials and components accumulate between individual process steps, disrupting the flow of production.
MANUAL HANDLING
Manual intervention slows down the process, increases operational effort, and creates additional sources of error.
MULTIPLE INTERFACES
Too many handoffs between individual production stages make processes unstable and difficult to plan.
WHEN INTERFACES SLOW DOWN PROCESSES.
Production processes lose stability whenever material flows are interrupted and individual process steps fail to integrate seamlessly. Handoffs, manual interventions, and varying cycle times create disruptions throughout the workflow and make continuous production more difficult to achieve.
The result is unstable processes, unnecessary downtime, and profitability that depends heavily on product variety and batch size.
NOT SINGLE MACHINES. COMPLETE PROCESSES.
A seamless plant concept combined with intelligently coordinated processes creates a stable material flow throughout the entire production line.
Automated transfers, reduced interfaces, and clearly defined workflows ensure that different door variants can be manufactured efficiently and consistently, even with high product variety and small batch sizes.
From core handling and lay-up stations to the press, inspection, and stacking, every process step integrates seamlessly with the next. The result is a production line where stability, automation, and material flow are perfectly aligned.
THE WEMHÖNER DOOR CONCEPT.
We provide complete door production lines tailored to material flow, process reliability, and automation.
From raw materials to the finished door panel, every process step is seamlessly integrated. Complementary systems and partner solutions are intelligently incorporated and perfectly coordinated. Solutions ranging from 1 door per minute with manual lay-up to 6 doors per minute in fully automated operation enable flexible production concepts, even for the smallest batch sizes.
Not everything has to come from a single source. But someone has to take responsibility, and everything has to work together perfectly.
SEAMLESS. AUTOMATED. STABLE.
01 | CORE HANDLING
Automated feeding and preparation of materials provide the foundation for a stable production flow.
Stable transfers and well-defined material supply ensure a seamless material flow throughout the production line
02 | CONTINUOUS CORE BONDING
Automated crosswise continuous bonding of different materials and core components within the ongoing production process.
Buffer storage of offcuts and coordinated process sequences reduce waste, minimize material changeovers, and increase process reliability.
03 | FRAME HANDLING AREA
Automated handling of frame components within the production line.
The door frame is prepared with precision and transported directly to the press, implemented in close cooperation with strong partners such as Ulrich Rotte Anlagenbau und Fördertechnik GmbH
04 | FACE LAYER HANDLING
Inline assembly of various door panel constructions within a seamless production process.
Single-sided or double-sided glued face layers, as well as multi-layer door panel constructions, can be processed flexibly and efficiently.
05 | PRESS
Press technology forms the heart of the production line, ensuring stable and repeatable results.
Multi-opening presses with multiple press stations provide high flexibility, consistent cycle times, and the ability to process different door sizes within a seamless production process.
06 | CONTROL
Control and tracking processes ensure transparency, consistent quality, and reliable material flow throughout the entire production line.
Production data, process steps, and material movements remain fully traceable and under control at all times.
07 | STACKING
Clean stacking and structured transfer of finished door panels as the final stage of a seamless production process.
Automated processes ensure reliable transfers, reduced handling effort, and controlled material flow all the way to the finished component.
STABILITY IS BUILT IN THE DETAILS.
Flexible core feeding, automated handling, and reliable tracking ensure stable material flow, even with a high variety of product configurations.
Seamless processes reduce unnecessary buffers, minimize manual intervention, and deliver consistent, repeatable results throughout the entire production line.
A SYSTEM THAT WORKS AS ONE.
