This cross saw is a solution for dividing workpieces in the form of strips or panels on production lines for furniture parts or floor elements. The SAWTEQ C-600 is also a highly flexible machine, the transport units can be moved (manually or automatically) and top roll pressure devices can be positioned at the same time to allow the cutting width to be easily modified.

Equipped with an 80 mm diameter solid drive shaft, it delivers excellent performance, making it a reliable and durable choice for your cutting needs. The unit’s cam chains on both sides ensure cost-effectiveness, even when multiple cuts are required. Thanks to its innovative design, the saw units operate from underneath, preventing tearing on the top surface. Additionally, the central suction channel provides good suction performance directly on the saw units, ensuring a clean and efficient cutting process.

Features

• Modular configuration allows the number of transport systems and saw units to be varied
• Workpiece feed device at one level for workpieces with a delicate surface layer
• Workpiece magazine delivers a high performance level (optional)

The underlayment pad application systems apply sound-deadening material to floorboards. The material can be processed from the roll or fed as cut strips of the unit. Hot glue is applied to the undersides of the floorboards before the material is laid accurately. A new process, which is particularly suitable for designer floors, further minimizes tolerances.

Advantages

• High speed range: up to 160 planks/min.
• Processing of roll or strip material
• Different materials usable
• Roll change or storage filling without machine stop

The clip insertion shoots plastic clips in the head-side groove of floorboards. The clips simplify the installation of the laminate planks. It can handle clips that are punched out of a plastic frame (5G), as well as clips that are cut from an endless profile. The systems are integrated in the feed of the packaging system or in a Double End Tenoner.

Advantages

• Safe and precise insertion of the clips into the planks
• High speed range: 160 – 180 planks/min.
• Fast format changes through efficient adjustment systems
• Inserting 2 clips into one plank
• User friendly storage filling

The palletizers are designed in two variants: gantry style and robot palletizing. In the case of gantry style palletizing, the products are placed on a pallet individually or in a group using a 4-axis servo system in a stable frame. The robot palletizer in the 4- or 6-axis variant grips individual products or entire layers. A big advantage is the fast format changeover and short set-up times. 

Advantages

• Fast format change
• Individual customizable palletizing schemes
• Receiving of layers or individual products
• Flexible gripping and suction tools
• Electronic parameter and recipe management
• Variable, customer specific structure of the palletizing cells
• Executable as a collaborative system
• Euro pallets, industrial pallets, special pallets
• Moveable

Door Manufacturing

Building Component Manufacturing

This Opti-Solution is a material handling system that consists of four feeding systems, model Opti-Feed 6000, feeding four different qualities to two high frequency laminating presses.

After laminating, the beams are separated in a buffer system and automatically transported to two grading and repair stations. If needed, the beams are repaired manually by two operators. After the grading and repair stations the beams are transported through a multi head cross-cut saw, model MK2 where the ends are trimmed before moulding.

After the moulder the beams are once again quality checked and repaired if needed, then labelled and transported to the automated stacking machine, model Opti-Stack 6000.

Flooring Manufacturing

This Opti-Solution is an optimizing cross-cut line consisting of an Opti-Feed 6000 feeding system, that feeds batches of workpieces to a planer. After the planer, the workpieces are automatically transported to a Microtec 502 scanner including x-ray, for detection of defects and quality.

Through a queue control system, the workpieces are then transported to three optimizing cross-cut saws model Opti-Kap 5003, that cuts the workpieces into flooring components. The cross-cut components are then sorted according to the correct lengths, qualities and widths.

Moulding & Millwork Manufacturing

This Opti-Solution is a material handling system consisting of an automatic infeed system model Opti-Feed 6000, that automatically feeds the workpieces to a bandsaw. The bandsaw splits the workpieces into two or three pieces, and the workpieces are subsequently singulated and orientated in the correct order before entering a moulder.

After the moulding process, the workpieces are transported to a double-end tenoner for end profiling, and afterwards automatically bundled in a bundling station. The bundled workpieces are immediately strapped or folioed, and then stacked into big packs by an automatic stacking machine model Opti-Stack 6000. After stacking the full pack is then folioed and strapped

Pallet Manuacturing

This Opti-Solution is a multi head cross-cut line consisting of an automatic infeed system model Opti-Feed 6000, that automatically feeds the workpieces to a feeding chain conveyor.

The feeding chain conveyor creates layers of the workpieces and feed the layers into a multi head cross-cut saw model MK5, for multiple cross-cutting. The cross-cut workpieces are then transported to a continuous stacking machine model Opti-Stack 6000, also capable of placing stabilizing sticks in the packs if needed. After stacking, the packs are automatically separated and transported to a strapping area.

Furniture Manufacturing

This Opti-Solution is an optimizing cross-cut line consisting of an automatic infeed system model Opti-Feed 6000. The infeed system feeds the raw material to a moulding machine, that splits the workpieces into lamellas. After the moulder, the lamellas are automatically singulated and transported to a Microtec Goldeneye 501 scanner, for detection of defects and quality.

Through a queue control system, the workpieces are then transported to two optimizing cross-cut saws model Opti-Kap 5003, that cuts the workpieces into furniture components.

After cross-cutting, the components are sorted for either finger joint components or fixed lengths, stacked manually or automatically by four stacking machines model Opti-Stack 3000.
