The Essetre Techno Saw and Techno Saw XS are aimed at the roof truss market and timber frame kit manufacturers and a new industry distribution partnership will improve their UK availability.
For more than four decades, Essetre has produced innovative CNC woodworking machines that solve real production issues in the processing of complex and large timber sections, ranging from traditional roof trusses to enormous cross laminated timber (CLT) and structural insulated panels (SIP) and glulam beams.
A new chapter in the life of Essetre has commenced via a partnership with the worldwide and respected Weinig Group. Essetre will be represented in the UK by Michael Weinig (UK) Ltd who will provide sales and after sales support. Dedicated National Sales Manager, Damon Harris, will provide advice on production solutions and machine models while the after sales support will be delivered via the well-established Weinig UK Service department.
Of particular interest to the UK market will be the Techno Saw and Techno Saw XS for the roof space market.
The entry level Techno Saw XS excels in producing all types of cut – straight, angle and compound – at speed and with perfect precision. Equipped with a single 5 axis 9kW electrospindle driving a 480mm diameter sawblade, the Techno Saw XS can process sections up to 320 x 120mm and 6m long. As standard the machine is equipped with a buffer infeed, CNC controlled gripper and pusher to feed the material into the saw unit and a transfer unit on the outfeed. For components that need total versatility in cross cutting at any angle this is the economical and reliable choice.
If more versatility is needed, then the Techno Saw is the perfect solution. This version is equipped with two outputs – saw and router – complete with 8 position tool magazine.
The capabilities are now extended to fully process components that need holes, grooves and rebates, in addition to the cross-cutting capabilities of the XS. To further increase productivity, Techno Saw can process multiple pieces at a time within a working envelope of 400 x 240mm. Additionally the length capability of the Techno Saw is 12m opening the possibility to process I-joists and complete all necessary operations in one cycle.
Malcolm Cuthbertson, Managing Director of Weinig UK, said: “This is an exciting opportunity to bring a new range of advanced CNC machines to the UK market to a sector that has been seeking well engineered machines that are professionally supported. The Weinig partnership with Essetre brings the reputation and nationwide coverage of Weinig together with the innovation and creativity of the smaller but very agile Essetre, to offer the market solutions that genuinely improve profitability.”
The expertise of Essetre extends to Easy Stock which is a fully automatic storage and loading system for the Techno Saw. Multiple different cross sections can be stored and fed automatically to the saw, for a completely unmanned cutting cell suited perfectly to timber frame kit manufacturers, roof truss suppliers and all companies needing maximum flexibility.
Malcolm Cuthbertson adds: “To represent a company such as Essetre that has a unique blend of German engineering and Italian design is a great opportunity for us. It provides timber frame house manufacturers with a reliable and professional partner for the future.”
