The Autocut® V system uses an electronically controlled carriage controlled by our PLC. Your combinations of cutting lengths are pre-programmed into the memory of the computer; your forklift operator simply loads the unit of lumber, initiates the cutting procedure and leaves...the system then processes the entire package and brings it to a discharge position...automatically.
The Autocut® V system includes a PRELOADING DEVICE as a standard item. The Preloading Device enables your forklift operator to load your lumber onto the system without waiting on the carriage to be emptied. The unit is automatically lowered onto the carriage which transports the lumber through to the cutting station and finally onto the off-loading station.
The V-series also allows you to program the depth of each cut, allowing you to cut multiple short lengths without having to cut through the bottom layer of lumber. This system enters the package at an 18 degree canted angle, and remains at this angle until it reaches your programmed depth, then swivels to its horizontal position. The V-series cutting system has a rated top-bottom speed of fifty-five (55) seconds, which is up to 100% faster than other systems available today*. The Autocut® V system comes equipped with our Computerized Control System and includes the following items as standard:
The Autocut® is available with an integrated power package-squeezing system. This inline package alignment enables you to utilize the latest technology in conjunction with the precision cutting capabilities of the Autocut® system and removes the necessity of of pre-aligning packages prior to loading. The power squeeze system is specifically designed to align packages with battens attached and ranging from 8’ to 20’ in length.
