Insights into the assembly of the Optima VI cutting center

The solid machine structure of our cutting and processing centers is designed for high capacity utilization and guarantees a long service life with very high process reliability in window and facade construction. A transport axis of the Optima VI sawing center, for example, weighs up to 1.5 tons and its solid construction enables the necessary stability of the high-precision movement technology.

Our assembly team uses an electric chain hoist to set up heavy support parts for the movable axles. With the load-bearing overhead traveling crane, the assemblies are positioned effortlessly and with millimeter precision.

The transport axes fulfill one of the most important functions of a production system; they bring the profile to all processing stations and ensure predefined positioning accuracy even after the workpieces have been transferred between the sawing and processing modules. Depending on the focus of production, several work steps can be combined in one machine...

Waste belt system for RAPID double miter saws

Good and controlled waste disposal from our double miter saws can optionally be supplemented by a conveyor belt system.

The standard version is equipped with a fabric conveyor belt. If required, four other smooth or rough materials are available to choose from. Using an ascending conveyor, the sections can be transported to a customer waste box, which further optimizes waste disposal.

The length of the conveyor belt corresponds to the respective cutting length of the double miter saw. The ascending conveyor belt is universal for all machine models.

We would be happy to advise you on choosing the right version.

Machine engineering to perfection

The RAPID precision machines are manufactured in the best German mechanical engineering tradition and according to the high demands of modern window and metal construction.

Depending on the model, a machine construction consists of several thousand individual parts of the highest quality, manufactured on CNC machine tools and finished by hand for perfect interaction like a traditional clockwork.

When developing rapid saws and machining centers, the focus is primarily on functionality and reliability. In order to guarantee process reliability and batch consistency during intensive machine use, individual parts must be perfectly coordinated with one another. The typical Rapid quality is created during production by highly qualified employees and the use of precise movement technology on a solid basic construction.
