Minimal kerf – maximum profit.

Those who want to remain successful in the future must keep a firm hand on conserving material in these times of raw material shortages and subsequent high prices, as this trend will only become more prevalent going forward. Fortunately, conserving material is a specialty of the DSB Singlehead Pro XM. WINTERSTEIGER promises minimal kerf, paired with maximum precision. This allows an increase in timber yield of up to 40 % compared to conventional wood-cutting methods.

Your gain:
up to 40 % greater timber yield!

Regular cutting with increased loss caused by a lack of precision.

WINTERSTEIGER thin cutting with minimal cutting loss and maximum precision!

Lamella thicknesses from 1.3 mm.

The highly innovative combination of thin saw band and precise saw band and rigid block guide enables the production of extremely thin lamellas. With this outstanding technical achievement, the DSB Singlehead Pro XM closes the gap between classic veneer and high-quality sawn veneer.

Robust block guide for a wide range of applications.

Innovative feed system.

Singlehead transport roller

Driven transport rollers above and below guarantee continuous block feeding, 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. The specially coated supporting table simultaneously ensures that the workpiece is as stable as possible. The transport rollers are electronically controlled and infinitely adjustable at the charging and discharging unit (4–20 m/min). The vertical stabilization of the workpiece in the cutting area is the basis for the perfectly precise cut.

 

The DSB Singlehead Pro XM owes its unusually high level of precision to the specially coated supporting table. 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 blocks with longitudinal or latitudinal deformations or that are cupped or torsion-warped.

Optimal feed for every application.

For high performance requirements in the highest capacity range, the DSB Singlehead Pro XM features a feed rate specifically for high-speed applications; for example, an optional feed rate with a range of 8 to 45 m/min is available for processing softwood.

More power

Fast positioning

The servo-driven module adjustment via precision threaded spindles allows up to 10 x faster height adjustment. You therefore achieve quick and optimum utilization of the cutting height.

High drive power

With the DSB Singlehead Pro, 37 kilowatts of drive power ensure a high cutting performance with sufficient reserves, even for demanding applications.

Chip auger and suction unit

Powerful chip removal

The machine’s suction unit 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 auger

The tried-and-tested discharge auger is now also used in the DSB Singlehead 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 auger.

High-tech saw control for optimal precision.

High-tech saw control

Gentle saw blade entry for improved cutting performance.
The smooth cutting system protects the saw and increases the quality of the output. Thanks to the reduced speed at entry of the saw into the wooden block, the forces working on the saw are minimized: The deflection of the blade is reduced. Once the saw is completely submerged in the wooden block, the feed speed is increased again.

 

Sensor-controlled saw monitoring.
Sensors monitor the force on the saw blade guide and the distance between the saw blade and saw blade guide. Continuous monitoring of the saw blade and saw blade guide allows the operator to keep the cutting process under control: The machine automatically prevents production errors with freely adjustable threshold values for the force and position of the saw blade.

Your benefits:

  • Saw blade protection:
    A loss of tension on the saw blade through overstretching is prevented.

  • Machine protection:
    The machine components are protected because the feed or the machine is stopped when the saw drifts.

 

  • Material protection:
    Saw blade drift is detected early, preventing tolerances from being exceeded and reducing waste.

  • Tool costs:
    The graphic display allows proactive retooling at precisely the right time.

Sensor-controlled saw monitoring

High-tech carbon guides.

High-tech carbon guides.

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.

Automatic saw blade regulation.

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.

Servo-pneumatic saw blade tensioning.

Servopneumatic saw band tensioning.

A servo valve controls the saw blade tension, which is adjusted to match the saw blade dimensions. During breaks in operation, the clamping pressure is reduced, which helps to protect the saw band.
