WEINMANN Carpentry Machine BEAMTEQ B-660

The BEAMTEQ B-660 is a fully automated six-sided timber beam processing center designed for single-pass throughfeed operation. It combines sawing, drilling, and milling operations in a continuous workflow, eliminating the need for multiple machine setups and manual repositioning. The machine processes timber cross-sections from 20 × 50 mm to 200 × 455 mm with unprocessed lengths up to 16.5 m, making it capable of handling everything from small structural components to full-length rafters and wall panels.

The B-660 delivers processing flexibility through its FLEX5 rotating and swiveling sawing unit (0-360° rotation, 0-90° swivel), dual main spindles, and 12-slot tool changer system. This configuration enables angled cuts, complex notches, rafter assembly cuts, rip cuts, and side milling in a single pass. The side milling cutter operates at 6.6 kW while the finger trimmer drive unit provides 7.5 kW, ensuring consistent surface quality across hardwood and softwood applications.

This machine targets medium to large timber construction and prefabrication operations that require high throughput with minimal operator intervention. It is ideal for workshops producing roof trusses, engineered wall frames, floor joists, and laminated timber products where dimensional accuracy and repeatable multi-operation processing are critical. The single-pass capability significantly reduces cycle times compared to sequential machine operations, making it economical for batch production volumes of 100+ units per shift.

Within its class, the B-660 occupies the mid-range of six-sided processing centers, offering greater flexibility than fixed-operation beam saws while requiring less floor space and capital investment than fully integrated CNC timber production lines. Its modular approach to tool selection and axis control makes it suitable for shops transitioning from manual or semi-automated production to fully controlled digital manufacturing.
