Push-Feed Optimizing Cross-Cut Saw Line HE 6000 O Helex

The HELEX HE 6000 O is a fully automatic, industrial push-feed optimizing cross-cut saw line engineered for high-capacity solid timber processing. Designed for continuous, unassisted operation at the discharge end, this automated system enables a single operator to manage the entire timber cutting process from a central touch-screen panel. The machine handles solid timber boards, battens, softwoods, hardwoods, finger-jointed lamellas, and glued lamellas, making it ideal for pallet manufacturing, furniture plants, wooden house production, and glulam facilities. It processes raw workpieces with feed lengths from 1,000 to 6,000 mm and cross-sections up to 300 x 120 mm.

The line is built on a heavy-duty, common welded steel base weighing 3,500 kg, which completely eliminates structural vibrations. It is configured from six synchronized functional groups: an automatic chain-driven infeed table powered by a 2 kW servo motor, a 4 kW servo push-feed unit with AirTAC linear guides and precision rack-and-pinion transmission, a fully enclosed 5.5 kW sawing cabin with a 500 mm blade operating at 3,000 rpm, an industrial SICK color code recognition system, a 9,000 mm sorting conveyor with 6 pneumatic kicking legs powered by a 2 kW servo motor, and an independent sloped waste conveyor table. The blade is raised and lowered by a dedicated 4 kW servo motor, delivering an ultra-fast cutting cycle of 0.2 seconds per cut. All transport speeds are electrically adjustable from 1 to 150 m/min via intelligent speed control, requiring no mechanical adjustments when changing cutting programs.

* Multi-Criteria Yield Optimization: Software optimizes cutting sequences by grade preference, quantity preference, or total value while utilizing a zero-waste program to turn remnants into short usable lengths. * Precision Servo Positioning: A 4 kW servo pusher operating via rack-and-pinion transmission guarantees tight cutting tolerances below 0.4 mm and executes head and tail trimming in a single pass. * High-Speed Sawing Cycle: High-performance 5.5 kW cutting unit paired with a 4 kW lifting servo achieves an ultra-fast cycle time of 0.2 seconds per cut at 3,000 rpm saw shaft speed. * Automated Defect Removal: Premium SICK (Germany) color code recognition system reads lumber marks automatically to crop out knots, cracks, and defects without operator intervention. * Automated Sorting and Waste Evacuation: Features a 9,000 mm output conveyor equipped with 6 programmable pneumatic sorting kickers and a separate sloped belt conveyor to keep the working zone free of chips and cut-offs. * Advanced Touch Screen Control System: Industrial Schneider and Omron electrical systems manage complete parameter screens, recipe storage for cutting lists, manual maintenance modes, and integrated diagnostics. * Fully Enclosed Safe Sawing Cabin: Dust-free operation supported by an enclosed cutting area working at 0.6 MPa compressed air and featuring two extraction ports (160 mm and 100 mm).
