Criterion for the description of one or several special equipments of beamsaws that are designed for the cutting of pressure- and/or surface-sensitive panel materials.

Field of application: pressure-sensitive workpieces

Examples:

• Light weight panels
• Insulation
• Composite materials
• Wavy or panel shaped workpieces that are equipped with hollow chambers

Technical equipment (selection):

• adjustable pressure beam-contact pressure
• adjustable grippers-contact pressure
• deactivation of single grippers
• cutting height control (optimum cutting angle)

Field of application: surface-sensitive workpieces

• Surfaces of panels that can be damaged during the destacking and transport process into the machine

Technical equipment (selection):

• contact pressure, cutting height control (see above)
• frequency controlled speed of main saw
• support rollers as flocked execution (HOLZMA)
• additional support rails (especially with very thin panels)
• floating mounted grippers
• increased fan power at flotation tables
• machine table with air jets throughout
• surface finishing of the machine table (eg anodising)
• Vakuum-transportation devices are being preferred for managing the scratch-sensitive workpiece surfaces
