SAWS IN ALL SHAPES & SIZES
SCM: Full range of sliding table and beam panel saws
SCM is a world leading manufacturer of woodworking and panel processing machinery,
and its range of sliding table panel saws and panel beam saws is renowned.
SCM circular panel saws allow the operator to cut out error-free mitre cuts and/or cuts
with a tilted blade. The Nova, Class and L’Invincibile ranges now come complete
with a 400 mm diameter sawblade that will provide a
cutting capa city of 140 mm with the blade
at 0° and 97 mm with the blade tilting at
45°. SCM offers an additional 10 mm cutting
capacity at 0° and 5 mm at 45°, and all
this with an unchanged diameter of both the
saw blade and the tool holder spindle. The maximum
cutting capacity is guaranteed in normal
working conditions with the scoring blade mounted
and ready for operation: this means it is unnecessary to
stop machining in order to unlock the scoring blade.
For L’Invincibile machines and those with Full Support Frame, SCM has created a new option which uses a wireless device to connect the control, the
digital display of the Full Support angle and the three digital displays of the stops on the squaring fence. Every time the operator tilts the Full Support
Frame on the work piece, the digital display automatically shows the positions of the stops on the squaring fence for the actual cuts to be made on the
panel. The operator no longer has to use the control for calculations, nor does he need to carry out test cuts to check the exact position of the stops.
SCM Sigma Impact 107 Auto
panel beam saw
Specially designed for small and medium-sized furniture
manufacturing companies, the new SCM Sigma Impact
107 panel beam saw can machine chipboard, laminates,
MDF, wood and wood-based panels in dimensional
sizes up to 4,500 mm in length and 4,300 mm
wide. SCM guarantees rapid and precise axis movement
of 0-150 m/min on the blade carriage feed and return and
0-120 m/min on the pusher utilising brushless motors. Ideal
ergonomics are provided by the remote control panel. The
machine’s cyclical speed is ensured by empowered automatic
detection standards featuring panel length,
width and thickness photocells. The immediate blade
changeover system with a pneumatic selector allows
the blade to be changed quickly, without using keys or
having to unscrew tools.
The saw blade has a self-learning upstroke feature
consisting of a bar which automatically reads the height
of the pack and calibrates the height of the saw accordingly. The beam saw can
be incorporated into Netline production cells. The Sigma Impact 107 panel saw has a new design and a robust structure and its shape and framework
have been carefully designed to ensure any vibration is absorbed by the ground. No maintenance is required for the saw carriage and pusher. Optionally,
grooving and slotting of panels can be carried out and a label printer can be supplied for panel recognition.
The WINCUT operator interface, which is part of the standard Sigma Impact 107 supply kit, has completely new graphics, making the panel saw commands
easy to understand, even for less expert operators.
Gabbiani, the specialist panel beam saw manufacturer within the SCM Group and part of the newly created Furniture Division, offers the new
Galaxy T3 single beam panel saws, featuring the very latest technology with the new Flexcut device. This is Gabbiani’s high-end range and is aimed
at manufacturers who specify perfect quality panel sizing on both single panels and packs of panels. Fast cycle times ensure high throughput rates
and a high level of customisation ensures that the same machine model can be tailored to a wide variety of differing requirements.
A very strong machine base and reliable components ensure a long, productive life cycle for the Galaxy T3. The machine is based around the modular
FLEXCUT system, which consists of mobile units with grippers which can be excluded individually, thus making it possible to handle highly complex
cutting patterns in very short cycle times.
Gabbiani has also redesigned the major components at the heart of this panel saw. The saw carriage
now ensures even greater cutting precision. Carriage movements are even faster
thanks to the drive units and the smooth-running recirculating ball screws. Cutting dimensions
from 3,200 mm x 3,200 mm up to 5,600 mm x 5,600
mm are available with blade projections of 110 mm, 130 mm
and 145 mm. The machine bed has a single upright fitted with
THK slideways for the sawblade carriage, which has been redesigned
to support intensive, heavy duty use on three working
shifts/day. Speeds of 170 m/min are standard.
The pusher and pressure units have also been redesigned to
ensure smooth movements, precision positioning and optimised
sawdust extraction. The pusher feed speeds is
135 m/min. The WINCUT interface is very user-friendly,
as is the OTTIMO optimisation program.
The design of the new Galaxy range also incorporates
technical developments suggested by customers. The Galaxy
T3 is also backed by Gabbiani’s expertise acquired over nearly 50
years at the forefront of technological innovation in panel beam saws.
