Hornet II™ Saw
Cut and mark wall panels efficiently and accurately
The Hornet II™ Saw is a precision upcut saw optimised for wall panel production. This next-generation saw cuts and labels multiple timber pieces at once, enhancing productivity, reducing waste, and improving safety with minimal labour.
Features
- Fully automated angulation and cutting.
- Fully automated chain conveyor feed
- Fully automated outfeed sweep.
- Plate layout edge printer.
- Face printer that can print a Bill of Materials.
- CutBuilder offline mode: Print a pick list without accessing the saw.
Advantages
- NEW! Extended infeed and added guard remove a pinch-point for safer operation
- NEW! Upgraded to REA JET printing, which provides ink level tracking, longer ink life, easier troubleshooting, and overall faster printing.
- The up-cut saw, integrated with MiTek software, enables automatic cutting of top and bottom plates in one stroke. It features a fully automated infeed timber conveyor for continuous cutting, with an outfeed sweeper for automatic removal of cut pieces.
- Cut every part within the wall panel, including headers, sills, and blocking
- Increase efficiency by marking and cutting the top and bottom plates simultaneously
- Greater design and assembly team collaboration, with design intent embedded into the panel plate layout
- Face printer to print complete bill of materials directly onto the timber, enhancing assembly efficiency and accuracy without paper instructions. Plus, the part ID remains visible on stacked timber, ready for job site delivery.
- Reduce waste by automatically cutting scrap into useable lengths
