SIMEC - SW 2200 - SW 2000

Features

Structural quality of the machine

The machine is characterized by an impressive two-column structure that ensures high levels of rigidity and no vibration

Configuration of the product

The diamond wire gangsaws SIMECWIRE, with identical technical solutions and supporting structure, are available with different cutting widths as to meet the customer’s specific needs. Besides, when purchasing the machine, it can be configured to operate with three different diameters of wires enabling a variety of possible versions.

Choice of the diamond wire according to cutting strategies

According to the thickness of the slabs to be produced and to the value of the material or to any other specific parameters, the customer has to identify in advance the diameter of the wires to be used in order to make its sawing business efficient and convenient.

Double tensioning system

The wire double tensioning system has two different operating modes: • Pre-tensioning (T) allows fast and simultaneous movement of all the pulleys, to quickly reach the tension point. The system is used in the reverse direction to remove the obstruction of the tensioners and allow the access of the operator to reposition the wires. • Final tensioning (T1), independent for each pulley with very high precision, ensures the correct tension for each wire.

Motor controlled by inverters

The main motor of the SIMECWIRE machine is a powerful electric motor driven by inverter that allows a precise and fluid variation of the rotation speed and the optimization of the wire speed according to the type of material to be cut. SIMEC offers the possibility to equip the machines with motors with different powers according to the typology of material to be cut and to the average number of wires used. The chart here-below shows some of the possible combinations.

Cutting architecture

The three-point cutting architecture adopted on the new multiwire machines mod. SIMECWIRE SW assures an excellent managing of the diamond wire, guaranteeing an uncompromising reliability and usability of the machine. The position of the tensioning pulleys located in the lower part of the machine, closer to the point of use, facilitates a better control on the operating pressure, remarkably reduces the risk of damages in case of accidental breakage of the wire, lessens down time at the end of the cut and offers a greater down feed compared to other geometries. The excellent design of the cutting arch combined with the great attention given to the ergonomics, help the operator in managing the machine in complete safety.

Usability

SIMECWIRE has solutions that enable a quick replacement of wires or their adjustment thanks to the use of special multi-colour rubbers that allow the correct positioning of the wires, while footboards and areas for the operators make the preparation and set-up phases extremely comfortable and fast. The operator standing in front of the tensioners can have an accurate control of the position of the wires.

Command panel

SIMECWIRE gangsaws offer state-of-the-art electronic solutions. An impressive electric board houses the huge inverter driving the main motor in addition to numerous PLCs. The control panel, equipped with a wide colour touch-screen display, allows to check every working phase carried out by the machine and to supervise the operational values.

Software

The software, completely developed in SIMEC, helps and assists the operator in every processing phase, presenting in real time all control parameters and offering sophisticated procedures when starting the cut. The user-friendly interface makes this product accessible to any operator.

synoptics

The synoptic panel allows to view the cutting position in different modes.

Solutions of block entry

SIMECWIRE SW can be configured during the purchasing phase with entry of blocks either orthogonal or parallel to wires. According to the solution chosen, the machine is supplied with a special optional block-carrying trolley. In case of several machines, the choice of the blocks entry conditions the layout of the sawmill, as shown alongside.

Block-carrying trolleys

The block-carrying trolley plays an important role in performing cuts and this is the reason why SIMEC has especially designed a highly reliable and accurate product. SIMEC’s block-carrying trolley, with a loading capacity of 60 tons is powered by an inverter driven motor and can be configured in the version for orthogonal or parallel entry to the wires. The trolley is equipped with special adjustable slab-supporting poles that can be used in a fixed modality for blocks of small dimensions or with the use of suitable spacers in case of bigger blocks. The loading capacity of the trolley can be increased by using the optional kit, that extends the useful loading width from 2300 mm (standard dimension) to 3200 mm.

Positioning counter-trolleys

Both in case of block entry orthogonal and parallel to the wires, it is possible to make the positioning phase of the block quicker and more precise thanks to special optional counter- trolleys, available in the standard or rotating-tilting version, which allow to vary with decimal accuracy the displacement of the block in the longitudinal and orthogonal direction once the cutting position is reached. In such a way, the operator can easily change the position of the block in order to allow its optimal exploitation. In the rotating-tilting version, besides the longitudinal and orthogonal displacement there is the possibility to rotate the block around the vertical axis and incline the cutting platform in order to exploit the volume of the material even more. The positioning counter--trolleys need special foundations to be prearranged in the cutting area of the machine.

Safety

SIMEC is particularly attentive to operators' safety and for this reason, the SIMECWIRE SW machines feature a wide number of solutions to protect the staff working on the machine, such as walkways, stepladders and access protection sensors, which stop the work when the doors open. For SIMECWIRE SW there are also optional barriers for the protection of the working area according to the EC standards, which include a gate for the entry and exit of block-carrying trolleys and a small gate for the operator’s access, both equipped with safety sensors.
