4 5DIMTER gets things moving:perfect cross-cutting in record timeHigh-speed positioning, cross-cutting and sorting – plus a maximumyield. Modern plants need this facility in their production. The innovativemachine concept of the top models of the OptiCut 450 Seriesallows feed speeds of up to 415 m/min. Exact positioning from fullspeed followed by re-acceleration is performed at up to 50 m/s 2 . Byway of comparison: a Formula-1 racing car takes almost three timesas long just to accelerate! One cut takes just 0.085 seconds – theblink of an eye!Ultra-fast feed,exact positioningand precision cuttingHeavy feed rollers working from abovekeep the wood firmly in place. This ensuresreliable, trouble-free transportationthrough the OptiCut. Even with rough,bowed or twisted timber – the drive rollersfollow the contours of the material.DIMTER HighGrip rollers allow extremelydynamic positioning and acceleration.Powerful drive units guarantee a highcontinuous performance. The extremelyfast saw stroke ensures a very high cuttingfrequency.

DIMTER OptiCut 450 Quantum and OptiCut 450 FJ+:the fastest OptiCut in the worldThe OptiCut 450 Quantum is the ultimatecross-cut saw, enabling you to increaseyour daily output by up to 30 % !Besides its cleverly designed VarioSpeedfeed system, it also has an intelligentlycontrolled waste gate which onlyopens as far as needed. HighGrip rollersspecially designed for and adapted todifferent types of wood ensure effectivepower transmission to the workpieceand precise positioning - assisted by thenon drive-dependent length measuringsystem. The special saw unit can be preciselycontrolled (e.g. minimising of tearout).Linking of multiple saws and integrationof the lines into a companynetwork can be readily implemented.DIMTER OptiCut 450 and 450 Super:the powerpacks for universal applicationThe OptiCut 450 can tackle timber ofalmost any quality. Even bowed and twistedtimber can be reliably used inproduction with the ample power available.Thanks to the non drive-dependentlength measuring system, theOptiCut cuts with an accuracy of up to± 0.8 mm. Both the patented waste gateand a fast saw cut are standard in thehighspeed version of the OptiCut 450Super and VarioSpeed infeed. Also includedis a full optimisation facility forderiving the maximum yield from a minimummaterial input – and that goesfor larger cross sections too.

6 7Integration of scanner technologyAutomatic sortingOptiCut Stacker: Automatic stackingThe OptiCut 450 FJ+ is characterised bya special feed system which ensures securetransportation of even the shortestpieces of quality wood. Thus, the machineretains full control at the end of theboard over short parts up to 110 mm,that are reliably separated from the wasteand transferred to the sorting station.This results in a hugely increased yield incase of finger jointing operation. Thanksto their outstanding performance,OptiCut high-speed saws are ideal foruse with automatic feed systems, scannersas well as the OptiCut Stacker. TheDIMTER project planning team helps youplan your cutting lines, whether it is linkedmachines, unmanned production orhigh-performance installations you’reafter.DIMTER OptiCut 450 XL:high performance – even with extra-large cross sectionsThe OptiCut 450 XL is equipped withextra-wide feed rollers which bring ahigher torque to bear on heavy timbersections. Despite the large cross sections,a surprisingly high cutting capacityand linear accuracy are achieved. Thefeed speed can be switched between120 m/min. and 180 m/min. dependingon the relevant cross section. Andsuitable feed, marking and sorting solutionsare of course also available for theOptiCut 450 XL – including onesspecially designed for heavy timber.

The OptiCut optimisation function:more profit and greater transparencyOptiCut cross-cut saws can be controlledvia the intuitive OptiCom Directtouchscreen. This software provides foroptimum timber yield and thus formaximum profit. This future-orientedsolution can be integrated in companynetworks and keeps production statisticsfor greater transparency in woodpurchasing and production output.Further advantages: Reliable operationwithout hard disk • Secure storage onFlash card • Direct printer connection• Can be directly integrated in Ethernetnetworks • Easy generation of cut listsand statistics evaluation in the office• Ideal solution for linking managementand production • Possibility of integrationinto sector solutionsFixed length cutting, defect removal, optimisation – optimisationcan easily save a good 8 % or more waste. The OptiCut thereforepays for itself in next to no time.

8 9Perfect sorting:fully automatic with the patented waste gateClearing the way for accepted stock! When sorting at extremelyhigh cutting speeds, it is particularly important to ensure the reliableseparation of quality wood and rejects. That’s why DIMTER highperformancesaws are equipped with a waste gate as standard.The patented waste gateThe intelligently controlled waste gateis integrated directly in the saw and isprecisely adjusted to the output of thehigh-speed cross-cut saws. This ensuresreliable separation of rejects from piecesof quality timber and avoids problemswith sorting and further processing.Quality timber is not considered aswaste. The surest solution around forreliable sorting and trouble-free production.Automatic sortingThe OptiCut cuts at record speed. And itidentifies every cut length. Sorting partsautomatically by length, quality etc.from the outset is a logical way of doingthings, particularly when it comes toorder-based production. That way yousimplify your logistics and save on personnel.

DIMTER length measuring system:even better positioning and yieldThe length measuring technique usedby DIMTER measures – regardless ofslip - directly on the workpiece surface.This ensures the right conditions foraccurate cross-cutting: The beginningand end of the wood, the position ofthe marked defects and quality areasare recorded with great precision. Theresult: Less waste thanks to shortercut-offs at either end. Exact lengths (upto ± 0.8 mm) thanks to assisted positioning.Perfect lengths without defects.OptiCut with intelligent saw blade control:clean cut and minimal tear-outThe saw stroke is controlled. Due to thecontrolled exit of the saw blade fromthe workpiece the tear-out is reduced toa minimum. The other cutting phaseson the other hand are performanceoptimised.Waste or grades in whichtearout is less of a problem can be cutat maximum speed.

10 11OptiCut with VarioSpeed:continuous cross-cutting thanks to non-stop feedWhy pay out for more saws than you need? The OptiCut offers enormousperformance potential right across the board. To exploit this capacityto the full, the intelligently controlled VarioSpeed reduces thedistances between the workpieces as much as possible. That way theOptiCut is supplied continuously with wood, making the system evenmore economic.DIMTER feed rollers with sure grip:top performance with all kinds of woodHeavy feed rollers working from aboveensure reliable, trouble-free transportationthrough the OptiCut. Differentwood qualities impose different requirements,however. That’s why DIMTERoffers feed rollers with the right surfacefinish for every application. These canbe swapped in and out of the OptiCuthigh-speed saws in no time – just liketyres on a Formula 1 racing car. Nowrough and planed qualities can be easilyhandled in the same shift. Resin-coatedrollers are easy to clean – for a consistentlyhigh performance day in, dayout.
