Fully Automatic Cross-cut Lines for High Capacity and Reliability

Cross-cutting is one of the most important processes in the wood-working industry. In most productions the amount of material which will pass through further processing is decided at the cross-cutting station. Yield which is lost in this process will decrease exponentially yield of the following production steps. On the other hand cross-cutting is a monotonous and simple process which should not be executed by highly qualified and expensive human labour. OptiCut cross-cut saws are designed for highly automated processing of timber. This way human labour can be assigned to more complex tasks in the production.

Feeding the OptiCut can be automated by different types of destacking systems. Scanners can take over the work of classifying the timber into different qualities and of recognizing defects often more reliable and faster than a human worker. Using automatic scanning systems is state of the art today. Since the integration of scanners into WEINIG, the cooperation between all optimizing group members has pushed the automatic recognition of wood properties a big step forward due to especially designed material handling systems. OptiCut and scanner systems are being developed to be a complete and integrated optimizing system solution from one source and can be easily operated from one control panel.

After the highly precise and powerful cutting of the timber in OptiCut cross-cut saws, the pieces pass through a sorting station. With the OptiCut Stacker the lengths can be stacked fully automated on pallets and are easy to handle in further production steps. WEINIG offers more as it offers you labour-free production!
