Every manufacturer will be looking to gain an advantage on their shop floor, with savings on time, materials and cost and ways to boost production output and efficiency at the top of the agenda. The housebuilding sector is no different and, on top of the daily challenges already mentioned, the shortage of skilled trades and increasing demand is adding significant pressure to the industry.
Many developers and contractors are responding by setting up their own factories to enhance their offsite capabilities. This can only be done efficiently by investing in the most suitable equipment to start the whole process of precision timber cutting.
Whether the task is processing simple roof trusses, conventional rafters, I-joists, glulam or CLT, there is a machine in the Essetre range that does this to best in class standard. The integration of advanced technology into the Techno Saw and Techno Fast models delivers exceptional flexibility, versatility and rapid cycle times, while ensuring repeatable accuracy with every cut.
From the moment production begins, the Techno Saw delivers outstanding efficiency. Its intelligent buffer infeed system keeps material flowing smoothly to the saw, ensuring uninterrupted operation. Add the optional automatic board stacking system, which can feed multiple pieces in a single cycle and the result is a powerful, high-performance cutting centre that maximises output and minimises downtime.
At the heart of the Techno Saw is a 5-axis continuous interpolating milling head featuring a double output for a saw blade and HSK 63F tool on the opposite end. With the optional 8-position automatic tool changer, the machine covers all machining possibilities unique to its class. During processing, components can be securely held by both the NC-controlled infeed clamp and an NC-controlled outfeed clamp, enabling exceptional and repeatable accuracy even with very long components. The standard configuration includes a driven outfeed conveyor to remove processed parts, which are reliably guided by top and side pressure guides during transfer.
A step up in the product range is the Techno Fast, capable of processing beams up to 400 x 240 x 13,000mm. Equipped with a 600mm diameter saw, a chainsaw aggregate, and an 11-position automatic tool changer, the Techno Fast offers almost unlimited capabilities for processing glulam beams and other large timber sections.
Both machines are powered by industry-standard .BTL file formats, making integration into existing production environments fast and hassle-free. At the heart of the system is a full-colour HMI screen, giving operators real-time visibility of simulations, production status, and essential data all at a glance. In an industry where speed, precision, and adaptability are necessities, Essetre’s Techno Saw and Techno Fast stand out as cutting-edge solutions that truly deliver, offering the performance, integration, and reliability to keep your production ahead of the curve.
