Ligna 2025 once again proved to be an unparalleled platform showcasing the latest advancements in woodworking technology, digitalisation, and automation.
Held in Hannover, Germany, the show attracted industry leaders and innovators from around the globe, highlighting trends such as sustainability, enhanced automation, and intelligent manufacturing.
Daltons Wadkin attended the event, focusing on our key suppliers and their latest technological developments:
Salvador made a significant impact with their automated crosscutting solutions, particularly with their innovative new multi-axis machining module. This advanced feature adds grooving, drilling, and routing capabilities to their automatic crosscut saws. This development is particularly beneficial for timber frame building manufacturers, outdoor furniture producers, and door set manufacturers, enhancing both versatility and efficiency in timber processing. Also new for 2025 is the Salvador SuperStop – a programmable pusher and stop system that can be fitted to the Salvador SuperUp range of crosscut saws or indeed, any other make/ model of crosscut saw.
SCM exhibited their comprehensive range of woodworking machinery, with a pronounced emphasis on automation, digital integration, and software advancements. Notably, SCM highlighted their AI-driven remote machine monitoring solutions, designed to proactively identify and resolve potential machine issues before they escalate into major disruptions. Additionally, SCM presented their new simplified range of Minimax, Nova, and Class panel saws – each range now fully customisable to precisely meet diverse manufacturing requirements.
Stenner unveiled advancements in their renowned band resaws, demonstrating continued excellence in high-volume timber processing. Their participation resulted in substantial success, closing a number of key projects at the event and generating considerable interest in their standalone and horizontal resaw lines. Visitors were particularly impressed by Stenner’s commitment to reliability, ease of maintenance, and enhanced operational efficiency.
The buzz at Ligna reinforced the woodworking industry’s move toward smarter, more sustainable manufacturing solutions.
