Double = better grip: the Twinhead concept
Save space with horizontal saw modules.
The DSB Twinhead Pro XM thin-cutting band saw features two saw modules in the basic version and is the most compact solution for performing two cuts. The Twinhead concept, namely the parallel arrangement of the saw modules, is the optimum solution wherever multiple cuts are required.
The servo-driven module adjustment via precision threaded spindles allows up to 10x faster height adjustment. You therefore achieve quick and optimum utilization of the cutting height.
Cutting width up to 310 mm, block height up to 165 mm.
The tried-and-tested block transport system of the predecessor model has been adopted and optimized for the DSB Twinhead Pro XM. The maximum block clearance height is 165 mm, with a cutting height of up to 165 mm. Depending on the configuration, the DSB Twinhead Pro XM's feed speed is infinitely variable up to 45 m/min.
Unique price/performance ratio.
Even the basic configuration of the DSB Twinhead Pro XM - with its ergonomic advantages and minimum space requirement yet maximum performance - is a highlight. The Twinhead concept with two saw modules in one machine keeps the costs of investment within comfortable limits.
For maximum capacity requirements: your machine grows with you!
Automation and integration.
The DSB Twinhead Pro XM can be expanded: machines connected in series are designed as whole production systems to form complete manufacturing units with a compact design. Existing machines and systems can be expanded at any time.
The automation and integration of machines to form individual process solutions are among WINTERSTEIGER's core competencies.
Optimum accessibility for easy maintenance and repair.
The innovative design of both machine and serial installation ensures that all saw modules and machine components are optimally accessible while requiring minimum space.
These special ergonomics minimize both time and cost required for setup, configuration, and changing of saw bands. This concept also provides full access to the room within the machine.
WINTERSTEIGER thin-cutting: maximum precision - minimal kerf
Cutting-edge sawing technology for maximum precision.
Instead of simply overstretching the band-saw blade, WINTERSTEIGER uses automatic band tracking control to keep the band-saw blade in position on the deflection pulleys: in addition to protecting and retaining the inner saw band tension, the gliding surface on the deflection pulleys is also protected.
Combined with the carbon guides, this optimal saw blade tension allows for aggressive positioning of the saw band guides. As a result, the saw band tension is concentrated in the cutting area.
The unique technology package, in combination with the rigid block guide, ensures maximum cutting precision when using minimum cutting kerfs starting at 1.1 mm.
Your gain: up to 40 % greater timber yield!
Regular cut with increased loss caused by a lack of precision.

Unique feed system for all block characteristics.
Unique feed system for all block characteristics.
Driven transport rollers above and below guarantee continuous block transport, even when faced with extreme workpiece characteristics. The specially rubberized transport rollers and the innovative counter-pressure system guarantee optimum grip as well as minimum friction for wet or dry material. At the same time, the hard chrome-plated supporting table ensures that the workpiece is as stable as possible (optimally aligned).
The transport rollers are electronically controlled and infinitely adjustable at the infeed and outfeed (1 - 18 m/min or 8 – 45 m/min). The vertical stabilization of the workpiece in the cutting area is the basis for the perfectly precise cut.
Additional driven pressure rollers immediately above the cutting area guarantee the constant stability of the workpiece across its full width. This gives you the ability to cut not only pre-planed material, but also uneven and rough-cut wooden blocks with longitudinal or latitudinal deformations or that are torsion-warped or cupped.

Automatic band tracking control.
When cutting non-homogeneous materials such as wood, the saw band is exposed to different cutting forces. The automatic band tracking control uses a sensor to detect the displacement of the saw band caused by differences in cutting force. An adjusting mechanism driven by an electromotor controls the deflection pulleys and guarantees optimum positioning of the saw band. This prevents the saw band running off the deflection pulley.
Servopneumatic saw band tensioning.
A servo valve controls the saw blade tension, which is adjusted to match the saw blade dimensions. During idle periods, the tensioning pressure is reduced to protect the saw band.
High-tech carbon guide.
This high-tech composite material made of abrasion-proof carbon fibers and heat-resistant epoxy resin guarantees precise band guiding and an extremely long lifetime.
Powerful chip removal.
The machine extraction is designed so that chips are removed from the machine as quickly and efficiently as possible. This prevents temperatures from becoming too high inside the machine. Primarily in the softwood segment and at high feed speeds, where more chips accumulate in a shorter time, optimized extraction is a clear benefit.
Discharge screw
The tried-and-tested discharge screw is now also used in the DSB Twinhead Pro XM, the largest machine in our product portfolio. It ensures that chips are continually removed from the machine interior. It also provides support during machine cleaning: chips can easily be swept into the discharge screw.
Think digital
Modern solutions for more efficient production processes.
Unplanned downtimes cost time and money. Sensors that monitor the DSB Twinhead Pro XM provide the solution for reducing downtimes.
Digital saw blade detection simplifies tool management. The inserted saw blades are detected when the machine is started, and the tool and machine data are linked to one another. Aside from the type of wood and customer-specific data, data no longer have to be entered manually due to automatic detection.
For detection purposes, the WINTERSTEIGER saw blades are already clearly marked in the manufacturing process. The sensor technology on the machine then detects the saw blades and every saw blade can be clearly identified as a result. The rest of the cutting process is not affected in any way.
Optical sensors detect the block width automatically and it no longer has to be entered manually. The throughput can also be calculated with this measurement, the advantage here being that you always have an overview of the production volume.
The condition of the main bearings is documented during bearing monitoring and the sensors enable conclusions to be drawn about the wear on a bearing. If sufficient data are available, bearing damage can be anticipated: preventive bearing replacement can be carried out outside of production time and without interruption due to unforeseen damage.
WINTERSTEIGER has been relying on remote maintenance for many years. This allows for a very quick response should support be required. This online support means that companies can often avoid the need for a WINTERSTEIGER customer service technician to be deployed to their premises.
The remote maintenance package also includes the myWINTERSTEIGER cloud connection. All machine data are stored in a structured way in this cloud and are available for analysis.
Options for every requirement
The DSB Twinhead Pro XM delivers what it promises, and provides options which further improve the result depending on individual needs.
Optimum feed for every application.
The DSB Twinhead Pro XM facilitates high-speed feeding of 8 to 45 m/min for high-performance applications in the highest capacity range. For standard, precision, or special applications for sensitive materials or XXL dimensions, the standard feed from 1 to 18 m/min can be selected.
Innovative spraying system for wet cutting.
Spraying the saw tooth with a special, highly wood-compatible spraying agent creates a vapor that lubricates and cools the saw bands. The spraying intervals can be customized according to need and application. The benefits here are an improved service life of the thin-cutting saw band thanks to reduced friction and the prevention of resin deposits. The benefits of the spraying system are particularly evident when cutting wet wood. However, it also demonstrates its performance in applications involving the cutting of wood types with a high resin or silicate content.
Lubrication of the drive pulleys and spraying during the cutting process.
The system for the lubrication of the drive pulleys and spraying during the cutting process has been overhauled. In the standard version, two separate lubrication tanks are available: one for lubricating the drive pulleys and the other for spraying during the cutting process.
Additional spraying with water.
As an alternative to conventional spraying agents, water is also well-suited for the processing of certain kinds of wet wood. A small amount is sprayed on the tooth tips and loosens the mass of wet sawdust, resin, and lubricant. The lateral clearance angles of the saw therefore remain clean and functional. Water as a spraying agent can be combined with conventional agents or employed separately as needed.
