Razorgage RazorOptimal Cyclone

OPTIMIZING SAW SYSTEM

The RazorOptimal is a programmable optimizing saw system designed to make your manufacturing process faster, more accurate and more efficient. This powerful automated industrial saw system is customizable and full of options that will revolutionize your cutting process. We combine the precision of our RazorGage ST Automatic Saw Measuring System with the power of our Cyclone 600 Upcut Saw, to create a highly accurate, automatic optimizing saw system at a great price point.

The RazorOptimal features specialized automated crayon-defecting technology. This industrial saw system scans the material for defects and optimizes remaining parts to fit into the defect-free areas. This automatic defect detection feature enables operators to quickly avoid splits, knots and other wood defects without wasting quality material.

Product Info

Using the RazorOptimal Programmable Saw System

The operator simply imports premade cutlists or customizes cut settings using the optimizing saw software and marks any defects in the materials. The automated saw fence system does the rest!

The industrial saw system scans the material for defects, optimizes remaining parts to fit into the defect-free areas, automatically advances, cuts lineal stock and prints the part information directly on your material. The optimizing saw software is designed to maximize usable space on materials so that you don’t end up with unnecessary waste.

The RazorOptimal Optimizing Saw System is unique in that it is available with either an upcut saw or it can be outfitted with our 18-inch down-cut precision saw, for customers wanting to automatically drill pocket holes and scribe face frame layout marks.

Two days installation and training are included with the purchase of all RazorOptimal programmable saw systems (US or Canada only). We also work with leasing partners to offer RazorGage products at an affordable monthly payment.

Optimizing Saw Software

Our industry-leading software is powered by Microsoft Windows, so networking and file sharing is simple and seamless. Transfer files between your RazorOptimal programmable saw and any other PC in your office, home, or shop.

The RazorGage optimizing saw software is based on a rapid development platform, and it is constantly evolving to meet the needs of our customers. The software is robust and can be customized to suit a variety of operations and projects. When you purchase a RazorOptimal programmable saw fence system, our onsite installer will provide hands-on training for both hardware and software. Tutorials and other reference documents are available on our website. Soon after installation, you’ll be able to jump in and start using your new programmable saw to maximum effect.

Advantages

WHAT SETS RAZORGAGE PROGRAMMABLE SAW SYSTEMS APART

If you’re investing in an automatic saw measuring system, you want a product that is dependable every single day. Replacing parts and paying for repairs will cut into your ROI. To get the most out of your new programmable saw positioner, choose one with superior components made of high-quality materials.

For example, the positioning carriage on a RazorGage automatic saw system is mounted on recirculating ball bearing blocks rolling on hardened steel. Competitors use plastic and aluminum — materials that are much more prone to inaccuracy and wear. RazorGage components are designed to minimize backlash, reduce wear and ensure a high level of accuracy and consistent performance time after time. By comparison, our competitors’ components are lower quality, and it shows in the overall poorer performance of the positioner.

1. RazorGage: Positioning carriage mounts on two re-circulating ball bearing blocks sliding on a hardened & ground steel rail. Just like you see on CNC machining centers!1. Competitor: Uses plastic strips sliding on aluminum as the positioning carriage bearing.
    
2. RazorGage: Electronics are sealed inside IP54 rated housing impervious to chips.2. Competitor: Electronics sensitive to chips are inadequately protected.
    
3. RazorGage: Utilizes a planetary gear-head with 3 load paths transmitting torque & less than 7 arc minutes of backlash to maximize accuracy.3. Competitor: Spur gear style reducer others use, with 1.2 gear teeth transmitting load, is prone to excessive backlash.
    
4. RazorGage: Uses no sensors for homing or end of travel eliminating the need for failure prone components and wiring.4. Competitor: Contamination sensitive sensors inside the beam require long cable runs around sharp corners.
    
5. RazorGage: 30 tooth drive pulley used on RazorGage has a larger bend radius increases belt life and twice the teeth to resist tooth shear.5. Competitor: 15 tooth pulley competitor uses, has a tighter bend radius reducing belt life and half the teeth to resist tooth shear.
    
6. RazorGage: The RazorGage drive pulley is machined to match the belt tooth profile eliminating backlash.6. Competitor: Standard pulleys have 1/64” clearance allowing backlash which reduces accuracy.
