Salvamac electronic stop-pushing system Salvastop 100

The Salvamac SalvaStop 100 is an advanced, numerical control (NC) linear positioning and electronic stop-pushing system engineered to transform manual crosscut saws, radial arm saws, and profile cutting machinery into semi-automatic, high-efficiency cutting stations. Designed to replace manual tape measuring and mechanical stops, the SalvaStop_100 eliminates operator error, drastically reduces cycle times, minimizes material waste, and optimizes labor efficiency across solid wood, aluminum, PVC, and composite material processing.

1. Structural Architecture & Mechanical Engineering

• Heavy-Duty Beam Structure: Built around an extra-thick, high-rigidity 100 x 100 mm extruded anodized aluminum profile with internal structural ribbing to prevent deflection over long working spans (up to 14 meters).

• Linear Drive System: Features a heavy-duty continuous linear guide with recirculating ball bearings, driven by a high-tensile, steel-reinforced synchronous timing belt for backlash-free position transfer.

• Pusher Carriage Assembly: Designed with high dimensional stability to support heavy pushing loads (up to 100 kg). Equipped with a flip-up / pneumatic tilting positioning arm (90° angle) to facilitate quick manual loading and unloading of raw materials.

2. Integrated Closed-Loop Servodrive System

• Hardware Core: Driven by an integrated brushless servomotor equipped with absolute high-resolution encoder feedback operating in a closed-loop control architecture.

• Precision & Reliability: Continuous real-time position checking ensures zero loss of steps under heavy pushing resistance, guaranteeing consistent positioning accuracy ($\pm 0.15\text{ mm}$) and long operational life.

3. Control Interface & Software Architecture

• s-PAD Touchscreen Terminal: Features a 7-inch color graphic interface designed for intuitive, floor-ready operation with minimal operator training required.

• Dual Primary Operating Modes:

  1. STOP Mode: Acts as a motorized precision fence stop. The operator inputs the target length, and the arm automatically moves to position for manual cutting.

  2. PUSH Mode: Functions as an automated pusher. The operator loads a complete workpiece, and the system automatically pushes the profile step-by-step according to predefined cutting lists.

• 5 Software Modules: Includes sections for manual entry, automatic cutting list execution, incremental movements, sequence management, and system diagnostics.

• Remote Tele-Service: Integrated internet connectivity module enables real-time remote diagnostics, updates, and maintenance support directly by Salvamac technicians.

4. System Integration & Industry 4.0 Compatibility

The SalvaStop_100 easily integrates with Salvamac’s line of crosscut saws (Classic 40/50/60, Legend 500/600, Beverly) as well as third-party equipment. It supports external peripheral integration, including:

• Barcode readers for instant cutting list activation.

• Thermal label printers for workpiece traceability.

• Ethernet/Wi-Fi network connection for ERP/MES software integration (Industry 4.0 ready).
   

  Key Operational Advantages Summary

• Zero Measuring Errors: Completely eliminates tape measures and human calculation errors.

• High Productivity Gain: Increases cutting throughput by up to 50% compared to manual stop systems.

• Labor Cost Reduction: Enables single-operator workflow for feeding, positioning, and cutting.

• Material Savings: Significantly reduces timber waste through precise positioning and optimized cutting list execution.
