Specializing in panel sawing for 45 years, at Xylexpo Macmazza is showcasing a new version of their range of flexible panel saws comprised of two mechanically-combined saws and next-generation electronics. This version can handle series production by doubling the capacity of a single-blade machine, as well as small just-in-time batches and complex cutting patterns to minimize waste, while also offering the possibility to program and operate both machines independently. By combining a single-blade saw with rear loading platform and a crosscut saw, also for post-formed and edgebanded bars, Macmazza had already created an ancestor of this solution, called a semi-automatic angular plant, a more cost-effective and compact alternative to the automated angular plant. Now − leveraging the performance levels of new electronics and software, and the engineering experience acquired through the advanced tools offered by the digital technology ‘Schneider can open’ − Macmazza has developed a full range of flexible angular cutting solutions called “Top Saw N E”.
Featuring automatic loading from warehouse/bridge or elevating platform, and optional automatic unloading, they are suitable for customers with capacities, available space and budget for the production of several trucks of sawn panels each week, with useful cutting height up to 150 millimeters (packs of eight 18-mm-thick panels), while preserving the flexibility of two single-blade saws that can work concurrently in line or handle different cutting patterns and flexible orders. The same solutions can be addressed to customers with small volumes, reducing the cutting height to 110 millimeters (six 18-mm-thick panels), with or without automatic loading/unloading, with fully customizable working dimensions and footprint of the front rotary tables (Macmazza patent). The space-saving, cost-effective flexible angular plant with 72-mm cutting height (four 18-mm-thick panels) can be connected to the first machine (also retrofitted), to a crosscut saw with cutting height above 110 millimeter (six 18-mm-thick panels), overlapping in case of identical cross cutting, to double the processing capacity compared to the single-blade machine as well as to execute optimized cutting patterns, where different strips can be cut in p, x, y, z, w direction with five cutting levels, also concurrently via the software program on two independent machines. Alternatively, you can perform, handle and temporarily buffer pre-cut parts to be used later on, on the first or second machine, while the other one is executing another program, order or part of a complex cutting pattern. The two machines can even be loaded (before future modular implementations) from the machine front, while still handling a double production volume compared to a single-blade machine.
Twice the flexibility of a single-blade machine is guaranteed with two panel saws, whereby one performs preliminary cross cutting, frames for doors or kitchen skirt boards, while the second runs a different program, with the same or a different operator, simply using the electronic crossbar with brushless motors on linear guides and precision racks to “bring back” the sawn parts, without moving to the second saw to unload it. All these solutions can be operated by a single person. Therefore, the same solution can be the most productive for a handicraft business and the most flexible for a “measure-made” department of an industrial series production unit. Such technological level provides access to all incentives/super-amortization measures related to Industry 4.0, offering the best just-in-time IT organization from CAD to customer management solutions, connected via the enterprise network to the machine PC, up to custom labeling connected to all downstream lines.

The rich Macmazza portfolio also includes “TS Verticale“, using the same software and PC of horizontal models, hence offering top technology levels and all the benefits of Industry 4.0.
The machine features grippers and a blade positioning carriage to ensure accurate cutting and measurement visualization on the display, both lengthwise and crosswise, with one operator.
