Trimming lines

Trimming lines

The trimming machine with movable blades is characterised by its high flexibility, a feature that must also be ensured by the associated automation system. The system must, in fact, be capable of handling input materials of varying thicknesses and widths, which are often fed in bulk via a single conveyor. At the output, sawn pieces of different dimensions can also be produced from a single piece of timber, and these must be separated and channelled to specific destination bins.

Thanks to its expertise, CMS is able to offer specialist advice and identify the technological solution best suited to different production requirements.

Types of machinery that form part of the CMS automation system for multi-blade trimming machines with movable blades
  • cross-conveyor for storing and transporting boards to be trimmed
  • cross-conveyor for separating boards
  • feed table with workpiece turner
  • roller conveyor for multi-blade trimming line, complete with accessories such as:
    • fixed or liftable side discharge chains
    • material discharge barriers
  • system for sorting sawn timber by size
  • transverse chain conveyors for sawn timber
  • workpiece fall deceleration systems
  • material collection chutes
