Setra advances support to the wood industry. HewSaw Sweden AB, a subsidiary of Finnish saw line supplier Veisto Oy, will soon supply a saw machine model HewSaw R200 1.1 V1 to Swedish wood industry company Setra’s production unit in Skinnskatteberg. The machine will reach Setra at the end of 2023, and then will be fitted with SPM Instrument’s most sophisticated online condition monitoring system, Intellinova Parallel EN.
The advanced machine is robust and reliable than its previous version. The model R200 1.1 V1 is particularly designed for improving sawing of small logs and is equipped with a feed speed of 70–250 m/minute. This sawing machine will be equipped with twenty-seven accelerometers of the DuoTech model as well as eight temperature transmitters, all connected to the online system Intellinova Parallel EN. With the help of DuoTech, the system utilises patented HD technology for shock pulse measurement with SPM HD and vibration monitoring with HD ENV. The system provides very early warning of deteriorating machine condition, thus enabling good maintenance planning for maximized availability.
Mikael Romlin, Mill Manager at Setra Skinnskatteberg, justified the investment: “Maintaining a high level of operational reliability and avoiding unplanned stops is profitable for us both short and long term. We strive for proactive maintenance, with a larger proportion of condition-based maintenance where we can plan our actions. With the online system from SPM, we get entirely new conditions for this.”
Starting at system commission, SPM will manage condition monitoring of the saw line for five years via its remote service. The sawmill staff can monitor the measurements via the Condmaster.NET web application on smartphones, tablets, or PCs.
The Finnish family business Veisto Oy plans and manufactures production lines under the HewSaw brand. About 80% of production is exported to other markets.
