SpeedRip:
Powerhouse for highest performance

For jobs in the high performance range

– 20 parts per minute and more – the
fastest RAIMANN ripsaw fits the bill.
This high-performance ripsaw can be
used both directly after a hogger or
bandsaw line or as a separate size cut-
ting line. In hardwood but especially in
softwood sawmills the reripping of
standard and non-standard dimensions
becomes really efficient.

Your advantages with the SpeedRip:

• Flexible size cutting either centered
or referenced to a zero-line
• Up to 6 independent adjustment axes
• Performance range up to 180 m /min
• Varying material thicknesses
can be processed economically

The robust BKS band saw:

The BKS stands up to high demands in
quality of cut and service lifetime. The
stable blade tracking guide guarantees
large cutting heights while maintaining
dimensional accuracy.

• Electronically controlled feed speed up

to 40 m /min
• Thin kerf guarantees optimal material
yield
• Bevel cutting up to 45º
• High-quality saw cuts using large flywheels
and hydraulic blade tensioning
• Simple setting and operation, plenty
of space for changing blades

Recognition – scanner technology. WEINIG GROUP.

Lightning fast detection for maximum added value

In cross-cutting and ripping there is huge optimization potential in terms of yield, quality, automation,
economy and profit. Detecting, interpreting without errors, optimizing cutting lists, supplying multiple
machines, rapidly accelerating production processes – upstream scanners will be an integral component
of all highly automated systems in the future.

• Cross-cutting, ripping, sorting and grading (by color and

structure)
• Lightning fast recognition, detection and interpretation
• Supplying multiple machines (e. g. up to 4 OptiCuts)
• Maximum production increase and utilization of
machine capacities
• Reduction of overhead costs and increase of material yield

Precise measurement enables optimi-
zation in terms of yield and value.
Timber characteristics, discolorations,
grain structure, etc. – in hard or soft
woods – can be taken into account.
The specially matched feeding systems
mean that the best possible optimizati-
on results are reliably obtained. The
running meter performance and
throughput speed are virtually unlim-
ited.
High-quality lighting using LEDs, the
unique sensor adjustment matched
to the cross section, and high-perfor-
mance software guarantee the best
possible optimization performance.
