New Vertical Panel Saws

Colonial Saw announced the addition of a new Swiss-made Striebig Control - an automatic traveling vertical panel saw - to its product offerings. Nearly all of the Control’s automatic features are controlled on the new touch screen color display panel. Multiple horizontal rip cuts can be executed with the new optional EPS.Y system. Automatic travel features include: automatic saw travel with variable feed rate; panel end sensor for faster cycling; start position memory for optimum efficiency and a return mode selector switch.

A convenient, sturdy mid-shelf allows for comfortable working of small parts and the ability to stage material on one side of the saw. The auto-shifting, full wood-backing grid, digital measuring with fine adjustment for both X and Y axes, along with a new laser light to help guide set-up of horizontal cut position are just some of the many standard features offered in the new-styled Control.

Colonial Saw also announced the addition of a new Swiss-made Striebig Evolution - a manual traveling vertical panel saw - to its product offerings. The Evolution includes many automatic features, such as auto-locking of the saw beam and panel support rollers. From the new touch-screen color display panel the operator can pivot, plunge and lock the saw head, engage the optional adjustable split-blade scoring saw, and also set the dimension of the optional EPS.X programmable stop. The screen will also display faults and provide easy trouble-shooting assistance. Digital measuring with fine adjustment in both axes is standard, as is the auto-shifting, full-wood backing grid, which can support thin materials and small parts. The Evolution also has a new laser light guide for the horizontal cut line, and externally produced cut lists can be uploaded via a new USB port.
