The fh4 cut-to-size saw offers maximum productivity and precision. One of its main advantages is the speed and flexibility for processing single board cuts as well as multiple boards. The most compact variant of the IMA Schelling fh series follows the philosophy of solid machine construction as strictly as the division of saws into larger categories. The robust design prevents natural vibrations and increases precision. It also ensures years of reliability, very long tool life cycle and minimal maintenance costs. With fh4 / fh5, AUTOMATION must be written in capital letters. New standards are set for efficient cut-to-size panels for trade or industrial uses with the highest possible automation in its class. A variety of automatic settings and automatically monitored functions ensure optimized and harmonious operation of the sequence.

The IMA Schelling panel sizing saw fh 4 / fh 5 has a unique “Evolution” drive concept and offers an optimal match between motor power and usable package height. The saw motor is fixed to the saw mount, so it is not moved by the saw blade, which enables powerful motors with greater performance. The scrap guide system is integrated into the saw carriage and enables immediate scrap removal from the cutting area. This results in a longer service life of the saw blade.
— Dual band aligners
Dual band aligners, one before and one after the saw line – stays on the material during cutting for maximum angular accuracy. The alignment force is adjusted automatically according to the thickness of the material or the height of the book with the help of a frequency converter. Even thin bands of panels can be cut with great precision.
— Air floatation machine
Extremely wide movable tables for air floatation enable optimal work and can be locked in the desired position. At the same time, it serves as a material buffer during the entire cutting process.

IMA Schelling offers individual handling and stacking that can be adapted to specific customer requirements. Everything from one source – from planning to commissioning.
— Automatic in-feed retraction
With automatic retraction, the lifting table adjusts itself exactly to the specific number of panels to be split (for panels with a thickness of 6 mm). Special pressure spindles of 3 mm thick panels are used for handling. With special holders, even thin panels with a thickness of 3 mm or more can be pushed away from the stack with piece-by-piece precision.

Simple and comfortable handling enables a significant reduction in time, protects the material and relieves the operating staff.
— Device format:
The IMA Schelling format device enables cutting of material with a surface cantilever around the board. The trimming fixtures required in this view are mounted directly on the clamps. The feeder clamps automatically move to the entered cantilever dimension to the format stop, enabling precise material alignment and secure clamping of even several panels high.

The BIMA Px80 gantry machine is a cost-effective solution, and enables flexible satisfaction of every customer need, precision and speed. More than 60 years of superior IMA Schelling technology with tailor-made concepts.

The key to this innovation lies in the fully engineered and automated organization of the storage system. An area from 4 to 20 m wide and up to 120 m long can be used in its entirety with piles up to 2000 mm high. In/out stacking, removing and loading activities are performed by trolleys that react quickly, precisely and save space. The cart moves along the road beams and the bridge above the pile of boards. The total height of the plant is only 3,680 mm. Since the machine and the storage system come from a single source, they form a perfect integration of work. This includes simple operation and high reliability of the software and technology.

Storage can be implemented with adaptive strategies according to the order of combinations, such as – individual jobs, large batches or constant change of production orders.
The gantry cart has a scissors lift that operates the suction crosshead with the plate right on top of the stack. The scissors are double-edged and therefore particularly stable. The patented double shear design combined with an adjustable suction cross head allows for a wide range of panel dimensions to be loaded.
— The rotating scissors allow the panels to be placed even under the supports.
— Increasing the utilization of space.
– The design of the scissors allows turning in + 90° and – 90°.
— Minimum orientation of shaft dimensions.
The vacuum lifting unit has eighteen suction units, four of which are corner suction units, and it can grip the panels strongly. For smaller panel dimensions, up to six suction groups can be optionally selected. Scraps up to a size of 1250 x 330 mm can be safely handled. Corner suction units are designed as suction panels with bellows and raised corners for the possibility of separating the panels.

— Stocks by type: static and dynamic
For panels that are constantly needed, it is recommended to store them “by type” and locate them in the immediate vicinity of the saw. This allows direct access to the material, without time-consuming re-stacking and results in long cycle times and fast saw loading.
“By type / dynamics” strategy makes sense for boards that are temporarily in frequent use. Quick access is provided. Highly fluctuating quantities of frequently used material require less storage space.
— Mixed stocks
Storing mixed inventory makes sense for all other cases. Multiple zones can be defined as mixed stock zones. This means that a large number of different panels can be stacked in fewer places. The warehouse can be used in an extremely flexible way.
— Manual management of block storage
Outside the area of the storage system, the block storage is a freely definable area that is managed in the control of the storage system. This is particularly suitable for frequently used materials that are fed directly into the saw and also for rarely used materials.
— Customized planning
Each spatial storage system is planned based on the specifics of the customer. Saw-storage combinations, connection to various machine concepts or connections of several sections, maximum use of available space, high production efficiency.

IMA Schelling offers optional, individual and customized features that contribute to a significant increase in performances.
— Perfect handling of thin materials
Optionally, corner suction units for thin materials can be separately controlled and equipped with holders. Clean separation of thin panels is ensured.
— Material with structured surfaces
Materials with structured surfaces are becoming increasingly popular with many customers in the furniture industry. Handling Vacuum technology is especially challenging. IMA Schelling also offers a suitable solution for this with special vacuum cups for safe transport of panels with a surface texture.
— Laminate boxes
The newly developed cassette system makes storing thin laminates much easier. This system saves valuable storage space and transports laminate boards much faster.
— Storage space above the cutting
If the existing spatial conditions do not allow another solution and there is sufficient height of the hall, the solution of the storage space above the cutting can be targeted with the help of a steel structure, the storage space is moved up. This steel structure saves space since it is a greater saving than extending an industrial hall.
