Gabbiani S

Panel Processing — SCM Group

The Gabbiani S is an automatic single-blade beam saw designed as the ideal solution for advanced woodworkers and small woodworking companies. It offers flexible panel sizing with variable speed control and multiple configuration options.

The Gabbiani S is an automatic single-blade beam saw engineered for precision crosscutting and sizing of panel materials in woodworking production. As a compact, operator-friendly alternative to larger industrial systems, it combines fixed-frame design with variable-speed carriages to deliver consistent dimensional accuracy across batch and custom work without requiring extensive operator intervention or floor space.

The machine's technical architecture centers on dual motor configurations: main blade motors ranging from 7.5 kW to 18 kW depending on model (S95 or S115) paired with a dedicated 1.8 kW scoring unit motor, both operating at selectable speeds of 3900 or 6300 r.p.m. Saw carriage velocity spans 6–60 m/min (with optional extended ranges to 135–150 m/min), while pusher speed independently adjusts from 0–60 m/min (optionally to 120 m/min). Two blade projection variants—95 mm and 115 mm—accommodate different material thicknesses, with corresponding blade diameters of 380 mm or 400 mm for the main saw and fixed 160 mm scorer blades. Available working lengths of 3200 mm, 3800 mm, or 4500 mm enable operations from small components to full sheet processing.

The S95 configuration provides 5 clamps for material hold-down, while the more robust S115 variant includes 6 clamps, ensuring secure positioning across wider or longer panels. The combination of variable speed control on both saw carriage and pusher mechanisms allows operators to optimize feed rates for different material densities, blade conditions, and edge-quality requirements—critical for minimizing chipping in melamine, veneered panels, or solid wood edges.

Gabbiani S targets small to medium workshops producing furniture components, cabinet parts, and custom millwork where batch sizes range from 10 to 500 units per run. Its single-blade, non-tilting design prioritizes repeatable crosscutting over angled or complex profiles, making it most suitable for operations that demand speed and precision over versatility. While lacking the multi-blade or gang-saw capability of larger SCM systems, the Gabbiani S occupies a distinct market position for shops seeking reliable automation without six-figure capital investment or extensive technical staff.

Applications

solid wood edge banding

small workshop

Custom furniture makers and solid wood specialists rely on the Gabbiani S to square-cut and size kiln-dried components—aprons, legs, stretchers, and frame rails—before mortising or doweling. The 115 mm blade projection (S115 model with 18 kW motor) accommodates thicker stock, while independent pusher speed control (0–120 m/min optional) allows gentle feed rates for highly figured or grain-prone woods. Typical output: 200–400 components daily across multiple product lines.

cabinet component sizing

medium workshop

Small to medium cabinet shops use the Gabbiani S to crosscut pre-machined stiles, rails, and shelving components to precise final lengths. With working lengths up to 4500 mm and variable saw carriage speeds (6–60 m/min), operators process batches of 50–300 identical pieces per shift while maintaining ±1 mm tolerances. The scoring unit (1.8 kW, 160 mm blade) minimizes chipping on visible edges of veneered or melamine-wrapped boards, essential for quality-conscious production.

window frame component production

medium workshop

Window and door component manufacturers use the Gabbiani S to crosscut pre-planed stiles and rails to exact lengths before mortising, tenoning, or dowel-drilling operations. The 3800 mm and 4500 mm cutting-length options accommodate standard frame dimensions, while 6-clamp hold-down (S115 variant) secures multiple pieces simultaneously for gang-cutting when profiles permit, reducing setup time and improving throughput for high-volume seasonal orders.

melamine panel processing

medium workshop

Ready-to-assemble (RTA) and modular furniture manufacturers process bulk melamine-coated particle board on the Gabbiani S, exploiting dual blade configuration (main 380/400 mm + 160 mm scorer) to eliminate blowout on bottom edges. Available blade speeds of 3900 and 6300 r.p.m. enable material-specific optimization; slower feeds on softer boards prevent deflection while faster feeds reduce cutting time on harder panels. Production rates: 1000–2000 linear cut-meters per 8-hour shift.
