Department of Mechanical Processing of Wood
The Department of Mechanical Wood Processing cooperates with research centers in the country and abroad, e.g. with the National Center for Nuclear Research Świerk in Otwock (https://www.ncbj.gov.pl), with the German HZDR Institute (Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf) – https://www.hzdr.de, with the Warsaw University of Technology (https://www.wip.pw.edu.pl), with the University of Life Sciences in Poznań (http://www.wtd.up.poznan.pl), with the Research and Development Center of the Wood-based Panels Industry in Czarna Woda (http://www.obrppd.com.pl),
and with industrial units, e.g. Homag (https://www.homag.com/pl), Leitz (https://www.leitz.pl), Teknika (http://www.teknika.pl), Fanum (https://www.fanum.pl), Leuco (https://www.leuco.com).
Department staff provide expert services related to:
- complaints and disputes regarding the durability of cutting tools for the processing of wood and wood-based panels, in terms of the quality of product processing and the course of production on numerically controlled machine tools (CNC);
- evaluation and comparative analysis of wood products obtained in various production technologies;
- evaluation of projects in the field of innovation and implementation studies (new technological solutions introduced to companies, increasing competitiveness on the market);
- assessment of the quality of processing of wood materials (quality of the processed edge, dimensional accuracy, shape accuracy, accuracy of the geometric structure of the surface)
