High Capacity Optimizers Require High Capacity Material Handling

The speed of a crosscut saw is only one factor in gauging the production capability of an installation.

The fastest saw in the world is limited in capacity if you can't keep it full of wood and get the finished product out of the way without stopping.

This is especially true in multiple-saw lines, where Dimter has the most experience world wide. Intelligent controls to take ingoing boards from a central scanning or marking station and distribute them efficiently to multiple saws is a hallmark of Dimter engineering.

It all starts with the infeed system and how the boards are graded for optimization. Dimter offers a complete line of de-stacking systems and marking stations. For the ultimate in grading, Dimter cooperates fully with all the major manufacturers of automated scanning equipment.

Your OptiCut can be integrated into any of the available scanning and infeed systems. Once the piece is scanned or marked, the infeed into the saw is the most difficult obstacle. Optimizing saws infeed at an irregular rate depending on the number of cuts and the length of the outgoing piece.

This has been a problem in keeping a saw full of wood until the development of the Dimter VarioSpeed system that runs the infeed conveyor at a different rate, depending upon the upcoming cuts in the saw. The boards are automatically positioned very close together and one right after the other to keep the saw from idling while waiting for the next piece.

At the end, OptiCut Stackers can automatically stack the optimized pieces neatly on pallets for easy transport to the next manufacturing process.

Dimter engineers more than just a crosscut saw - We engineer a system.
