KP 500 Optim

The KP 500 Optim optimization saw is suitable for production focused on precision cutting, minimizing waste of expensive material, speed, and at the same time, safety at work. An advantage of the machine is its high degree of flexibility in the input and output dimensions of the processed material. The operation of the saw is intuitive, and special software facilitates the programming and entering of cutting parameters.

Functions of the Device

Length Optimization

This function involves minimizing waste and maximizing the yield of the assortment. The inserted material is optically scanned by the feeder and automatically precisely arranged for cutting into specified lengths of the chosen program. The optimization system always prioritizes the longest possible cut that can fit into the inserted material. The saw automatically measures the length of each inserted piece, so there is no need to pre-sort the material by size.
In the case of marked defects, the material is optically divided by the feeder into individual pieces (from defect to defect) and these pieces are then again separately optimized for length. If the cut piece does not meet the minimum length of the program, it goes to waste. An automatic front and rear trim can be set in the chosen program.

Quality Optimization - Waste

The essence of this function is that the operator visually assesses the cut piece and marks the areas with defects to be cut out with special chalk by drawing two perpendicular lines. The feeder, with special optics, passes over the cut material and records the current positions (chalk marks) of the necessary cuts. The resulting pieces in various lengths (from defect to defect) are automatically optimized for length and cut into the required lengths according to the cutting program using software. If the cut piece does not meet the minimum length of the program, it goes to waste. An automatic front and rear trim can be set in the chosen program.

Sturdy and Robust Construction with a Robust Cutting Area Cover

guarantees high work safety.

Quality of Individual Components, Materials, and Processing

ensures trouble-free operation of the device and long service life in demanding working conditions.

Material Flow

In the basic version, the saw is LEFT oriented, meaning the material flow is from right to left.

Automatic Feeding System

is a combination of sophisticated pushing device and optics. The system is an integral part of the input table. It moves along a precise linear rail with bearings and ensures very accurate positioning of the workpiece for cutting (up to ±0.1 mm). The feeder, with an integrated optical system, reads the length of the material, marked defects, and quality.

Clear 15“ Touchscreen Display

allows easy and comfortable machine operation. The individual control elements are clearly visible, do not tire the operator's eyes, and provide a perfect overview on the screen. Maximum ergonomics and designed software ensure complete control over the machine for the operator.

Working Table at the Input Before Cutting

is smooth and allows the operator to comfortably prepare the material, which is then pushed onto the input table with the feeder. This eliminates downtime during saw operation and strenuous material handling. The table's tilt is 8° and it is equipped with a safety flap at the end to prevent accidental ejection of material out of the operator's reach.

Basic Fixed Table at the Output After Cutting

is standardly two meters long and partly under the cutting area cover. The operator can safely remove the cut material without being endangered by potential offcuts, chips, or risking injury by the cutting blade. The table's tilt is 8°.

Toolbox and Network Connection

Thanks to the original Toolbox software and network connection via an RJ 45 ethernet port, you can easily prepare cutting plans or evaluate statistical data comfortably in your office. This standard equipment of the optimization saw significantly increases the efficiency of work on the machine, and the obtained statistics can be the basis for quality control of the input material, etc. The Toolbox allows the optimization saw to be integrated into so-called flexible production or production nodes. Data can also be downloaded, transferred, and uploaded via USB.

Additional machine options can be found in the "Optional Equipment" tab.

Optimization cross-cut saws by Störi Mantel can be supplemented or configured with a range of optional equipment. Here we present the basic options, but if you have a different requirement or question, we are happy to consult with you.

Saw

Right-hand Version - material flow is from left to right.

More Powerful Motor - the saw can be equipped with a 7.5 kW motor.

Different Diameter Saw Blade - the saw can optionally be fitted with a 500 mm diameter blade.

Cutting Conditions

Side Pressure at the Output - ensures the material is pressed against the rear support during cutting, so the output conveyor belt does not remove the material from the cut. It also serves as rear pressure for the material for precise and perpendicular cuts.

Feeder Positioning System +/-0.1 mm - maximally precise material feeding into the cut.

Finger Pressure - presses the material during cutting to the support, preventing unwanted movement during cutting. Increases the accuracy and perpendicularity of the cut.

Feeder Clamp - perfectly fixes the cut material on the input table and in the cut.

Output Mechanization

Extension of the Basic Fixed Table (Smooth) - Extension can always be +1 m. The basic length of the table is 2 m.

Sorting Conveyor Belt - operates on the principle of electronic length measurement with the ability to sort material using automatic ejectors.

Ejector Spot - simplifies the sorting of shortened material. For optimization saws, the number of ejectors is limited only by the length of the sorting conveyor.

Inclined Collection Table for Ejector Spot (Gravity Chutes) - perpendicularly follows the sorting conveyor and collects shortened material according to sorted lengths.

Special Equipment

Thermostat for Electrical Cabinet and Control Panel - necessary if the machine is located in unheated areas.
