Spotlight on Essetre’s Techno Series
Techno Fast – equipped with a STIHL chainsaw, the Techno Fast combines advanced CNC control with high efficiency and flexibility. Ideal for precision blade cuts such as fitting iron feet, it is built for robust performance and rapid turnaround in demanding production settings.
Techno Saw – designed for processing smaller cross-section workpieces, the Techno Saw excels in the accurate manufacture of truss and frame elements. Its 8-position tool magazine enables both sawing and routing, including holes, grooves, and rebates. It can handle multiple components simultaneously within a 400 x 240mm envelope and lengths up to 12m – making it perfect for I-joists and complex structures.
Techno Saw XS – the most compact model in the range, the Techno Saw XS delivers high-speed, precision cutting in a space-saving design. Featuring a 9kW 5-axis electrospindle and 480mm saw blade, it processes materials up to 320 x 120mm and lengths of 6m. A CNC-controlled buffer infeed, gripper, pusher, and outfeed unit make it a reliable and economical solution for all-angle crosscutting – ideal for entry-level production and packaging applications.
