HOMAG redefines new aspects of SAWTEQ Series

 Tuesday, November 21, 2023

HOMAG is always on the right track when it comes to invention and innovation. SAWTEQ series has been one of their success stories. SAWTEQ S-300 and SAWTEQ S-400 are perfect for both trade and industry. These ideal cutting solutions from HOMAG redefine the definition of perfection, performance and capability. Now the good news is, they have again reformulated the whole series.

The new SAWTEQ S-300 and S-400 series panel dividing saws revolutionize all aspects of sawing. Processes and components that are part of the sawing process have been consistently optimized. Some have even been redefined – such as toleranceCheck.

High part quality despite material stresses

Material stresses released during panel sizing can lead to curvature of parts and strips. The result? You discover in the assembly process or on the construction site that your workpieces can no longer be assembled cleanly. This is exactly where toleranceCheck can help!

At the heart of the technology is a sensor system that is directly on the angle ruler of the panel dividing saw, which helps the machine operator to detect curvatures even before cross-cutting, and to see whether individual parts will be inside or outside the required dimensional tolerance. Operators now have the opportunity to react actively and can decide for or against cutting certain parts. If they decide to cut, the label immediately shows which is the concave side for further processing; for example at the edge or CNC. This increases the reliability of the subsequent processes and creates unprecedented transparency regarding part quality.

Also detects insertion errors

Speaking of process reliability: the system continuously checks whether the respective strip is positioned correctly and prompts turning if necessary. In addition, toleranceCheck also detects insertion errors.

The advantages at a glance:

• Ensures the individually required dimensional and angular accuracy of parts – especially in the case of stressed material
• Creates unprecedented transparency regarding panel quality and increases the process reliability of downstream processing steps (e.g. edging or CNC)
• Rejects are recognized before cross-cutting and can be declared as reusable remnants
• Helps customers to objectively assess panel suppliers in terms of material quality
