ZX5-E Sawing & Machining Center (previously was the ZX3)


ZX5-E SAWING & MACHINING CENTER FROM STUGA (NOW WITH TRU-LOC GRIPPER SYSTEM AND Y-DRIVE)

Previously known as the ZX3 this popular model has been upgraded to utilise most of the key benefits of the top of the range ZX5-S. The only significant difference is that the ZX5-E has less working tools making the output and price lower than the ZX5-S.

A versatile and sophisticated cutting & prepping centres developed out of the knowledge learned from manufacturing 76 Flowlines over six years.

Every possible saw cut and prep can be produced on the ZX5-E. This includes forty five and ninety degree cuts, ‘V’ and ‘Y’ notches, trickle vents, drainage, pressure equalisation, upstand removal, espag preps, dog bolts, tilt and turn preps, door locks and hinges, letterboxes, spot preps and anything else that can be required.

Three hundred and sixty degree rotary tooling system allows for unlimited machining possibilities and an unlimited number of profile systems that can be loaded to one machine and run at the same time. This rotary system is considerably more flexible and much faster than fixed heads partly because the cutters are much closer to the profile and are positioned as the profile is still moving ready to cut as soon as it stops. The rotating movement of the rotary head is extremely fast but also only has to move small distances between operations as the software optimises these movements.

Separate sawing and machining modules working in harmony ensure that delays caused by prepping and cutting waiting for each other are reduced to a minimum or even eliminated.

The ZX5-E is capable of producing between six hundred and seven hundred 17 piece internally glazed windows per week. The ZX5-E is much like the ZX5 but with less output as it has less working heads and axes.  Notes! We can prove to you why a single saw blade is always faster than two saw blades. Claimed output volumes are guaranteed by Stuga. Ask for an analysis of your production requirements for a detailed and guaranteed output report.

Unlike the ZX5 the ZX5-E does not have tool breakage detection or profile recognition but all other functions are the same or similar INCLUDING TRU-LOC GRIPPER AND Y-DRIVE
