Raimann: Better wood yield, less costs
Weinig Group: Hall 12, Stand B-F 48
Within the Weinig Group Raimann stands for
intelligent solutions for width cutting and
optimization. At Ligna the company presents an
abundance of novelties making the heavy-duty range
of multi-blade circular saws once again significantly
more productive and economical than before.
New: Raimann ProfiRip KR 610 M with scanner
The multi-blade buzz saw ProfiRip KR 610 M
combines top performance with great flexibility and
productivity. It achieves a feed speed of up to 80
m/min and is able to process large cross sections up
to 610x140 mm. Up to 6 adjustable saw blades
enable a unique wide variety of combinations and on
account of the higher capacity a higher wood yield as
well. The 6 adjustable saw blades are interesting for
the user particularly in case of fully automatic cutting
systems and a preceding scanner. Here Raimann
has very successfully integrated a product of the
American Weinig affiliate Control Logic. The scanner
performs at the same time the optical board
1
measurement, the defect detection and the twodimensional optimization. As an absolute novelty at
the Ligna the scanner is able to detect defects of
edged as well as unedged material, define quality
zones and tolerate defects in accordance with the
application (e.g. in case of table-tops where defects
at the under-side are no problem).
As an extraction system Raimann shows a newly
developed sliver separation that was nominated for
the final at the Challengers Award for the best
innovations in the USA.
Better: Raimann ProfiRip KM 310 M
The ProfiRip KM 310 is a multi-blade saw with a cut
height of up to 120 mm, high feed speed and
uncomplicated operation. On account of the
patented Quickfix System the saw is set up within
the shortest time.
At the Ligna Raimann presents two different
versions: One of them, the ProfiRip KM 310 is
designed as a heavy-duty optimizing cut-off saw with
two adjustable saw blades. In combination with the
wood optimization system TimberMax for the best
possible division of the workpieces a maximum wood
yield is achieved. The operator only has to measure
the board, TimberMax automatically adjusts the saw
blades.
The blade adjustment with an additional 2nd axle is
new. The package system as a complete
optimization system with TimberMax reserves a
2
special position on the market to the new ProfiRip
KM 310M. Presently only one blade adjustment is
available at other machines of the same
performance category and no optimization solution is
offered.
At the Ligna the rip sawing of lamellas with a gluable
cut is shown,
The second Ligna machine is a ProfiRip KM 310 with
Quickfix as a small size cutting plant. New is the
integrated operational data collection.
Better: Raimann ProfiRip KR 450 M
The ProfiRip KR 450 represents the higher
performance segment at Raimann. Cut heights of up
to 140 mm can be realized. At the Ligna a ProfiRip
KR 450 M is shown as a fully automated model with
4 adjustable saw blades. The integrated TimberMaxSystem takes care of maximal wood utilization by
width optimization. New is the uncomplicated
crookedness measuring for edged material
preceding the machine. The measuring system can
also be offered as a single system and therefore it is
very interesting e.g. for sawmills selling board
material. Feeding is done manually.
A cross conveyor takes the material to be sawn to a
newly developed feeding conveyor with adjustable
fence. After the machine the wood moves into an
outfeed conveyor. A robot puts the sawn parts onto
individual pallets. The outfeed is designed consistent
with the robot by a new rotary elevator system so
3
that a maximal number of boards can be
guaranteed.
Better: Raimann FlexiRip
The longitudinal buzz saw FlexiRip JRIONline offers
almost unlimited application opportunities when
cutting solid wood and composite wood materials. At
Ligna the new generation is shown that once more
significantly increases the basic benefit of the
machine.
The quickly adjustable fence with digital display of
the angular degree considerably reduces the set-up
times. The closed sawing gap prevents that sawing
waste reaches the machine frame and provides
higher safety.
In Hanover the FlexiRip can be seen as part of a
sawing center with the integrated undercut swing
saw FlexiCut 700. This system solution is ideally
suited for cross-cutting and longitudinal cutting for
smaller and medium-sized companies. Pre-trimming
and cross-cutting of extremely crooked workpieces
on the FlexiCut is demonstrated. Subsequently the
FlexiRip deals with longitudinal cutting by hand and
according to program. Cutting of stairs is
demonstrated with the geometry being projected by
laser on the material to be sawn.
