Automation can be a great way to make your operators’ lives easier and ensure that functions are as efficient as possible. This is one of the major benefits of using the Streibig Control Vertical Panel Saw, as it comes fitted with a range of automated processes and simple functions to enhance operations.
In the video below, Matt Pearce from TM Machinery guides you through the latest technology and sharing everything you need to know about increasing functionality with the Striebig Control Vertical Panel Saw.
Reduce Time And Errors With Automated Features
The Striebig Control Vertical Panel Saw is a machine built on automation and this is one of the biggest benefits of using this machine in your operations. It offers an automated cut cycle, but unlike other competitor tools what sets this one apart is the unique pre-cut features.
This machine comes with a range of pre-cut features that can make things easier and faster to operate throughout your business. Processes such as beam positioning, stop positioning, beam locking and headturnover are all automated through the Striebig Control Vertical Panel Saw and can be triggered through the touch of a button via the large touchscreen panel. Using this interface can be a great enhancement for your business, as it reduces space for human error and overall setup time.
The touchscreen is incredibly intuitive, making things easier to manage and ensuring utmost efficiency across operations. The controls are clear and responsive across all functions, which is why this can be such a useful tool for a range of settings.
Vertical And Horizontal Cuts
As with many of the controls in the Striebig Control Vertical Panel Saw, switching between vertical and horizontal cutting is done at the touch of a button. It is a very simple and safe process, reducing the risk of human error while allowing quicker processing times.
The saw head adjusts automatically to the desired dimension, which makes it an ideal tool for operators of all abilities. Through this automatic adjustment, you can ensure consistency and accuracy with every cut.
When processing a horizontal cut, the Striebig Control Vertical Panel Saw has a laser indicator line which makes it easier for operators to visually align their cut. This is especially useful when removing damaged sections or working off arbitrary marks, instead of direct measurements. It allows for precision and accuracy, no matter the level of the operator.
While traditional vertical saws measure from the bottom up, the Striebig Control Vertical Panel Saw allows for greater control and versatility through its top trim feature. This feature will automatically detect the top end of the panel and can perform a precise, clean cut to the edge.
Once the trimming is complete, the operator will need to enter the desired dimensions only once before they can repeat cuts until the cycle is complete.
With the saw panel sensor, it is easy to see when the job is complete, as the machine can reset itself. Once this smart sensor recognises that a shorter panel has been cut, it will automatically return the saw head back to the starting position, saving the operator time and effort for a seamless operation.
Dust Control And Striebig Support System
The Striebig Control Vertical Panel Saw relies on a wooden backing system, which is exclusive to Striebig machines and is one of the many reasons why they stand out as efficient machinery. This system provides two main advantages to operators of this machine and ensures a safe functioning throughout the cut.
The first advantage of this support system is the improved dust extraction, as dust is trapped in a rear cavity of the machine instead of being blown towards the operator, which you can expect with traditional models.
Secondly, this system offers superior panel support. This is particularly beneficial when working with thinner materials and allows a consistent quality to be experienced across all operations. The superior panel control allows a range of materials to be used with the Striebig Control Vertical Panel Saw without risk of flexing or chattering through the cut.
Advanced Safety Features Of Striebig Control Vertical Panel Saw
We understand that operator safety is a primary concern, which is why the Striebig Control Vertical Panel Saw is such a useful piece of kit. The smart technology and unique system operations are designed for maximum user safety, and there are various ways this is provided through operation.
A key safety feature on this Striebig machine is the spring-loaded blade guard, which ensures that the blade remains covered throughout use. The blade will only be uncovered during controlled operations, such as for maintenance or blade changes, providing operators with peace of mind and more efficient programming.
The intuitive interface can support more than accurate cutting and precise measurements, as it also helps operators troubleshoot. It will present clear error messages for any operations, settings, or directions that may need addressing so they can be resolved quickly. This saves time in operations and reduces the risk of error or mistakes, allowing for better productivity.
Prolonged Blade Life
Tool blade changes are quick and easy with the Striebig Control Vertical Panel Saw, as it can be done without tools. All that is required is a small Allen key to access the blade, and it can be performed quickly to avoid delays.
The primary saw can be fitted with a scoring blade, which can then be engaged or disengaged at the touch of a button to extend the life of the blade, saving time and money in the long run.
Integrating The Full Optimisation Settings
If the primary settings are not enough, the Striebig Control Vertical Panel Saw can seamlessly integrate with optimisation software to enhance processes and tailor the machine to specific requirements. Through this optimisation, the machine can offer features such as:
- Automatic cut plans, which will be directly loaded onto the screen for easy control and management
- Real-time material tracking and job previews to ensure the operator remains on task
- Label printing in either single or batch numbers
- Top trim and off-cut handling guide to support additional tasks
Through the intuitive control panel, operators can preview upcoming cuts and remain aware of the jobs they need to complete. This will keep them on task and help them understand what each piece is for, such as whether it is going to the skip or into the next production phase, to enhance productivity. With this in mind, fewer delays and space for human error are advantages of these optimisation settings.
Optional Advanced Features Of The Software
There are various upgrades available for this Striebig Software, which may be of interest to you based on operations and productivity. Those with the Striebig Control Vertical Panel Saw can opt for upgrades such as:
- Block part cutting, which can be useful for project such as drawer fronts as it allows them to be edge-banded and recut
- Offcut inventory tracking to ensure efficient reuse of materials and settings
- Strip cutting optimisation for narrower materials
These can be added and upgraded as the user sees fit to make the operator’s job easier and streamline producivity.
Conclusion
With its range of advanced settings and seamless functionality, it is clear to see that the Striebig Control Vertical Panel Saw is the ideal tool for enhanced performance and ease. This machine is not just about cutting, but rather improving your workflow so you can achieve more.
The automated features, optimal upgrades, and intuitive controls, the Striebig Control Vertical Panel Saw is unmatched. This is a powerful tool for workshops that require speed, efficiency and precision across their operations.
