WINTERSTEIGER AG will be presenting the new "DSB Singlehead NG XM" thin-cutting band saw for the first time at LIGNA. With this new product, the thin-cutting specialist from Upper Austria has set its sights on flexibility and efficiency – this band saw can be extended to up to 6 machines connected in-line.
Flexibility and Efficiency
Flexibility and efficiency – these are the 2 main selling points of the new DSB Singlehead NG XM thin-cutting band saw. The machine was developed with changing customer requirements for timber cutting in mind, irrespective of timbers and applications. The result? The machine excels at both wet and dry cutting, with a cutting width of up to 350 mm and a maximum block height of 165 mm. It enables extremely thin lamellas from 1.3 mm to be produced with a kerf starting at 1.1 mm. The robust design and WINTERSTEIGER's years of experience in thin-cutting guarantee maximum machine availability while making the DSB Singlehead NG XM extremely efficient.
Technical refinements
This thin-cutting band saw incorporates a number of technical refinements designed to optimize timber cutting, such as the feed system for robust block guidance: Driven feed rollerstop and bottom guarantee continuous block feeding, even when faced with irregular workpiece characteristics. The specially rubberized feed rollers and the innovative down pressure system guarantee optimum grip as well as minimum friction for wet or dry material.
The high-tech saw control is another plus point. Thanks to the smooth saw blade entry system, the saw makes contact with the wood block at a reduced speed and only accelerates once it has fully entered the block. This reduces deflection, which protects the saw and improves the quality of the lamella. The machine also features a sensor-controlled saw blade monitoring system. Sensors monitor the saw blade and stop the saw if it starts to drift. This protects the saw blade and machine, while reducing tool costs and waste.
Extension to up to 6 machines
The DSB Singlehead NG XM can be extended from an individual machine to a multi-module production system. Up to 6 machines can be connected in series to extend the thin-cutting band saw to keep up with rising demand.
