Automate Compound Mitering with Ease
TigerStop introduces the TigerAngle, a revolutionary system that delivers automated material length positioning and compound mitering.
Posted: January 27, 2014
Manufacturers using crosscut applications are manually setting stops and angles, checking and rechecking, mis-cutting and then doing it all over again. TigerStop’s (Vancouver, WA) newest addition eliminates setup, test cuts and parts, and adds true dynamic optimization to the manufacturing process. Now manufacturers are saving time, material and space in the scrap box.
TigerAngle is completely integrated by TigerStop and is equipped with the tried and true TigerStop automated length positioning system.
TigerStop introduces the TigerAngle, a revolutionary system that delivers automated material length positioning and compound mitering. The system is equipped for any application where high volume horizontal and vertical angle cutting is required and will speed the production process up to 75 percent.
Developed by TigerStop, the industry leader in automated stop/gauge and pusher systems, no aspect has been overlooked. Safety, material optimization, efficiency, productivity, improved yield and less waste have all been considered in the development of TigerAngle. TigerAngle uses all the same easy to use controls that you would find on all of TigerStop’s industrial products.
TigerAngle is completely integrated by TigerStop and is equipped with the tried and true TigerStop automated length positioning system. This allows the the system to be used solely as a stop in a set point operation, or used as a push feed operation.
Not only is the material positioning fully automated with a TigerStop, even the miter saw has been retrofitted with TigerStop drives for seamless and accurate automated miter adjustments. It eliminates the hassle
with manually adjusting the saw to the proper miter angles and setting stops on this machine.
TigerStop’s Beamworks Software was developed specifically for TigerAngle, taking the headache out of compound miter cutting optimization. The operator can create or download cut lists directly to the computer, receive operator feedback with visual representations of materials and store repeat jobs.
Beamworks is compatible with many other woodworking software programs, allowing for even more customization. Material optimization in today’s manufacturing environment doesn’t just make sense, it is essential to sustaining a profitable business. With the newly developed and fully automated Safety Hood, manufacturers can rest assured their employees can get the job done quickly without the lingering concern of their safety.
The Material Clamping System grips material to ensure manufacturers are getting the accuracy they expect from a TigerStop system. The firm has integrated their Extended Pusher Foot for reaching far into the hood to obtain even the smallest precision cuts and prevent operators from reaching into the machine.
