To earn a profit, the people who make fine hardwood lumber need to produce knot-free boards at breakneck speeds every day. Maximum speed is mission critical for the owners of automated crosscut saws from Eagle Machinery & Supply. More speed means faster removal of knots and imperfections from valuable hardwood lumber. Yaskawa servo systems help Eagle’s Talon 3000 saw to cut an imperfection out of a board in the time it takes to blink an eye, without being too finicky to function reliably in the rugged environment of a typical sawmill.
