A Smarter Cut

Offering pure performance and efficiency for the most advanced lengthwise crosscutting, the SOLID CUT PF 300 cross-cut saw from Weinig boosts both quality and productivity.

Customers are won and retained by offering a service that your competitors don’t. An expanded range of services should include an efficient cut-to-length option for your customers. This not only saves them time and effort on-site but also streamline production and delivery for you as the provider.

This solution is readily available from Weinig with the SOLID CUT PF 300 cross-cut saw. It is safe, efficient, productive, simple to use and accurate within a well-engineered package. The heart of the saw is a travelling pusher mounted on a precision extrusion, driven by a steel reinforced belt connected to an encoder for accurate measurement. The sawblade is housed under the table and completely enclosed by an interlocked safety hood. A powerful pneumatic cylinder controls the cutting stroke, allowing even large sections of hardwood to be cut with ease.

Operation of the saw could not be simpler. Using the large touch screen interface, the operator enters the quantity of each length required. The board is placed on the infeed table, and the pusher collects it, driving it forward towards the cutting position. During this process, the board length is measured, and an almost instant calculation is done to optimise the yield and minimise waste. Without any interruption, the board is automatically positioned for cutting. Variable length trim cuts and numerous other parameters can be freely programmed via the 10.1” HMI screen.

Productivity can be immense from such an economically priced machine, thanks to its ability to load multiple boards per cycle. The full cutting envelope of 300mm x 100mm can be utilised to efficiently handle large orders of cut to length material just as efficiently as it handles a single board. Flexibility is key, as the machine can also be used very easily to cut a single length in manual mode, even interrupting Offering pure performance and efficiency for the most advanced lengthwise crosscutting, the SOLID CUT PF 300 cross-cut saw from Weinig boosts both quality and productivity. A Smarter Cut an ongoing cutting list. Simply place a board on the machine, using the forward button move it to the cutting position, take a trim cut to define the position, then type in the length required. Push start and the machine will safely deliver one accurate length that meets your customer’s exact needs. The software on the machine also counts every piece it cuts, so cutting too many pieces just doesn’t happen. Simply enter the required quantity, and the machine will deliver exactly that.

In addition, it will give you clear statistics on the processed material, including accurate yield data in different formats. This valuable feature allows you to compare actual waste levels against your costings so ensure that your activity is genuinely adding to your margin.
