Increased Cutting Efficiency - The hl 1 high-performance unit for cutting to size optimizes production lines with larger shift outputs
IMA Schelling has an efficient solution for woodworking companies that require a cutting performance of up to 6,000 parts per shift in batch size 1: the plant manufacturer will proudly introduce the hl 1 high-performance unit for cutting to size.
Optimally suited cutting concepts make a decisive contribution to the economic success of a furniture production line. With its high-performance, material-friendly, and resource-saving panel saws and cut-to-size plants, the IMA Schelling Group has the ideal solution for every production strategy and performance class – from standard to high-performance units for cutting to size.
IMA Schelling has developed the hl 1 machine concept for an output of up to 6,000 parts per shift. In this process, a rip-cut saw for generating strips from the raw board is combined with a cross-cut saw that generates individual components from the strips. "This in itself is nothing new, but there are a few complementary factors that add up to a significant increase in performance", explains David Schelling, Product Manager Cut-to-size at IMA Schelling.
Higher Speed, Proven Technology
Since a hogging unit is positioned before the rip-cut saw, this results in a saving of one cutting cycle per strip. This has the advantage of relieving the strain on the cross-cut saw. In contrast to solutions previously available on the market, the hl 1 does not feature more processing units, but rather more feeding components. In up to four lanes, strips are thus fed to the cross-cut saw independently of one another and cut together.
