PUSH FEED SYSTEM REDUCES DEFECTS

TigerStop (Vancouver, WA) was recently granted a European Patent on their System and Method of Marking Materials for Automated Processing for their TigerScan and TigerSaw with Rapid Laser Scan Systems.

The new TigerScan is a push-feed defect-optimizing system. This package has many of the same features as the TigerSaw, but is more compact in size. TigerScan optimizes material, counts pieces, and gives the right length, in the right quantity, with minimum material and waste. It is faster and more reliable than crayon scanning methods and doesn't leave marks on material. TigerScan will automatically print out clear easy-to-read labels for each part while processing material.

TigerScan's TigerOptimizer allows the operator to put up any stock length and enter it into the system. The TigerOptimizer finds the optimal use of the material based on the parts list that was input into the controller either manually or by downloading from a computer.

TigerSaw automatically positions material (up to ±0.008 in repeatable positioning accuracy) and accurately cuts parts. After the part is cut, it can automatically be labeled with TigerSaw's ink-jet printing, then each part can drop from the outfeed table onto the return conveyor for easy sorting of parts.

TigerSaw eliminates the need to set manual stops, so the operator stays in front of the saw, and TigerTurbo can push materials weighing up to 600 lb. Every cut is accurate, with no variation in quality from operator to operator.

TigerSaw's high-speed saw stroke allows operators to process up to 12,000 lineal feet per shift. Precision ground tables and heavy-duty construction maintain crucial accuracy and speed with robust reliability.
