WEEKE manufactured a wide range of products featuring every machine needed for processing profiles and panel materials. WEEKE was especially strong in the field of CNC woodworking technology. They produced boring centres, drill- and fitting insertion machines, nesting machines, routers and complete woodworking machining centres. WEEKE was also a specialist in throughfeed technology. These machines were designed for the continuous processing of large series and were capable of achieving consistent quality. The product range was rounded off by a selection of machines for drilling and insertion of fittings. WEEKE machines of this type were particularly productive when it came to the automatic milling of recesses, which could then be filled with any type of fitting.
Many of WEEKE’s machines are still being marketed under their original model names, but they also now feature the HOMAG label. It is to be expected that WEEKE series will gradually be replaced by new generations of devices as more technological advancements are made.
WEEKE CNC machining centres were produced in three series. These three series featured a large range of models suitable for many types of application.
Series Venture Vantage BMG Venture 106 Vantage 43M BMG 211 Venture 107 Vantage 100 BMG 411 Venture 108 Vantage 200 Venture 109 Venture 113 Venture 114 Venture 115 Venture 220 Venture 230 Venture 240
WEEKE VENTURE
The VENTURE Series with its ten models represents WEEKE’s widest range of CNC machining centres. These machines are configured in such a way that entry-level models are kept affordable and are then capable of being expanded in a number of ways. The smallest machine in this series is the VENTURE 106. It offers milling dimensions of 1550 millimetres and an eightfold tool changer. The largest machine in the series provides space for up to 28 interchangeable tools and features three extraction units as standard. The wide selection of intermediate models, such as the WEEKE Venture 3 and Venture 5, makes choosing the right machine for your needs very simple.
WEEKE VANTAGE
The WEEKE VANTAGE Series consists of three CNC routers. They offer complete processing, such as drilling, routing and sawing as well as grooving for standard- to large-scale series. The key feature of the VANTAGE Series is the way the machines can be configured individually. The modular system used enables a wide range of options making these devices easy to adapt in line with the operator’s requirements. This modular system is still being maintained by HOMAG, which means that all the individual tools can still be sourced to ensure the machines are capable of performing as originally intended. There are three models available within the VANTAGE Series.
WEEKE BMG
The two CNC machining centres of the BMG Series are designed for the processing of large panels/boards. Longitudinal milling dimensions of 6500 millimetres mean the machines are capable of far more than standard applications. A total of 22 tool holders means processing chipboard has never been easier, faster and more comprehensive.
WEEKE produced four CNC drilling centres which are still being manufactured by HOMAG.
WEEKE BHX 050
The BHX 50 is an affordable, entry-level machine for simple drilling operations in chipboard. It features a vertical part feeding mechanism. The main benefits of the BHX 50 are simple controls and a compact design.
WEEKE BHX 055
The BHX 55 is almost identical to the BHX 50 but is capable of processing panels up to 550 millimetres longer.
WEEKE BHX 200
This machine is the largest vertical machining centre made by the manufacturer. Its 36 working spindles facilitate especially fast and comprehensive processing options.
WEEKE BHX 500
This horizontal machining centre features an impressively fast throughfeed rate while ensuring maximum precision. This is achieved thanks to a travel speed of up to 130 m/minute.
WEEKE’s CNC drill- and fitting insertion machines can perform exceedingly well as solitary machines or as part of a large-scale production lines. They are popular for their simple controls and consistent precision. WEEKE/HOMAG offers two series of CNC-drilling and dowel inserting machines.
WEEKE ABD 050/060
This machine features an integrated vibrating feeder unit to introduce dowels into the machine, a clamping cylinder (manually adjustable in length and thickness), as well as a low-pressure glue pump with a noise-reducing, compact design and low energy consumption.
WEEKE ABD 260
This machine has been specially designed for vertical drilling in edge areas. Eight adjustable clamping cylinders ensure each workpiece is held in place and three vertical drill spindles allow easy and fast materials handling.
