Trusscut Saw

 

The Trusscut Saw is an automated machine, designed to simplify cutting of timber components especially for trussed rafters in timber buildings.

It is an up cutting single circular bladed saw operating with 3 CNC axis and powered In-Feed system.

Software Operation System

The controlling software has been designed in response to customer feed back, it requires very little operator training even to people who do not use computers. It will interface with any nail plate system software programmes.

Data Input

The saw can be linked via a network to the truss design PC and accept cutting data directly from the compiled job files. Alternatively data can be transferred from a 3.5" diskette via the machines 3.5" disk drive which is protected by an industrial dust proof cover, or data can be input manually via the large touch screen from a cutting sheer.

CNC Control

There are 3 CNC controlled axis, Angel, Centreline and Length.

When the saw is operation in automatic mode, the angle and centre line are immediately set to cut the first component listed ion the imported job file.

The length will move to its positions at a touch of a button, time taken to travel 6 metres is 8 seconds. This time will be less if the overall length is less than 6 metres.

Feed System

The robust, roller In-feed system and Out-feed system are each fitted with two timber clamps. One of the In-feed and both of the Out-feed clamps fully retract when in the off position this makes the loading and off loading operation easier.

All the clamp shafts, clamp guide rods and pneumatic cylinder rods are made of stainless steel and the guide bushes are Teflon lined. This eliminates any lubrication or rust problems and renders them maintenance free.

Safety

The machine has been designed to conform with the European safety standards and has been typed tested and certified, every machine beard the "CE" mark.

Envoronment Control

Dust extraction outlets are fitted for easy connection to your dust extraction system.

Maintenance

The minimum of routine maintenance is required.
