Wood is on the rise again. Where injection molding prevailed a few years ago, wood is now increasingly used as a renewable raw material. This trend is particularly noticeable in the household, cosmetic and oral hygiene sectors.

With the automatic copying shaper “ROTARY”, the German machine builder WOMAtec realized the CNC-controlled manufacturing process for the first time and thus optimized not only qualitatively but also effectively. With an output of up to 10 pieces per minute - with batch processing multiple - milling with a turntable is now also efficient for products that have to be manufactured in large batch sizes. Such as the wooden toothbrush, which is becoming more and more popular on the market. 4 machines for shaping and drilling toothbrush handles are currently in production at WOMAtec. Increasing demand.

Thanks to its solid construction and high-quality production, "ROTARY" is precise enough for such delicate items and extremely flexible. A dxf drawing transferred via USB stick is converted into the contour to be produced in seconds in the WOMAtec CNC control. Different contours can be used for the two milling cutters, e.g. are used for different radii. With a speed of up to 12,000 rotations per minute, the milling cutters leave a perfect surface and, thanks to the rotating plate, never work against the wood fiber, making subsequent sanding unnecessary. Good haptics are particularly important for hairbrushes, toothbrushes, knife handles, etc. All imaginable types of wood and bamboo can be processed. Various setting options for feed and milling speed ensure that the result is always perfect.

CE-compliant, a solid housing ensures safety and protects the operator from dust and noise. The WOMAtec copying shaper is not only a pioneer in terms of security. When it comes to sustainability, WOMAtec also scores with its company philosophy. A machine concept based on solid construction and long spare parts availability is the basis of all WOMAtec machines. With a high level of vertical integration, the machines are almost 100% manufactured in-house. Purchased parts come from well-known manufacturers such as Beckhoff, Festo or SEW. And by using also existing copying shapers e.g. from Hempel / Hemco, Boucherie as well as brush drilling and filling machines for overhauls and retrofits with new WOMAtec CNC controls, not only resources are saved but also costs.

In addition to the "ROTARY" machine, WOMAtec also manufactures the "LINEAR" model, in which two milling cutters, independently controlled, process the wooden part in a continuous process, ideal for the efficient production of brush handles, hand brushes, etc.
