SAWTEQ S-180

The SAWTEQ S-180 is a high-performance panel dividing saw engineered for precision crosscutting and lengthwise division of board materials in industrial woodworking environments. It combines a motorized main saw carriage with integrated central side pressure technology to deliver fast, repeatable cuts with minimal operator intervention and material handling time.

The machine's technical architecture centers on dual-motor performance: a 13.5 kW main saw motor (expandable to 15 kW) drives precision cutting at carriage speeds up to 120 m/min in profiLine configuration, while the fence system advances at 70 m/min for material feed. The integrated central side pressure device mounted directly to the saw carriage eliminates external clamp stations, reducing cycle time and footprint. Motorized scoring saw adjustment enables automatic optimization for veneer and edge-banded panels without manual intervention. Maximum cutting length reaches 3,800 mm with optional power concept, accommodating full-width European panel formats (2800×2070 mm and larger configurations).

The SAWTEQ S-180 is purpose-built for medium to large workshop and industrial panel operations processing volumes of 50+ panels daily. It excels with engineered boards (MDF, particleboard, plywood), edge-banded materials, and solid wood panels requiring dimensional precision. The CADmatic PRACTIVE control system integrates directly with CAD data and batch optimization software, enabling lights-out or semi-attended operation for repetitive production runs.

Within its class, the S-180's integrated side pressure and motorized scoring adjustment represent a step up from basic sliding table saws, positioning it between entry-level panel saws and full-scale CNC crosscut systems. It delivers near-CNC accuracy and throughput at significantly lower capital cost, making it the preferred choice for woodshops transitioning from manual saws while maintaining operational flexibility.
