RazorGage | APS - Auto Pusher System

Automatic Saw Optimizing Industrial Upcut System

The RazorGage APS Automatic Optimizing Upcut Saw System is built around the powerful and highly accurate RazorGage RG3 Automatic Saw Measuring System and the durable, clean-cutting Cyclone 600 Upcut Saw.

The APS optimizes your cuts, but the main feature is the Automatic Pusher System which allows you to push “Go” and stand back. The automatic saw does the work and allows one person to both feed the saw and offload the finished parts. The APS automatic positioner and automated saw system enables more efficient processes in your cutting operation.

What is truly unique about the APS is that it can produce fine cuts in wood and aluminum — with part accuracy as good as +/-.002” — while also being able to push a bundle of twelve 2 x 4s, at 40 inches per second — all for a lower price than the competition.

Using the RazorGage APS Auto Feed Saw

One feature that makes the APS automatic saw stand out from the crowd is the Intelligent Clamping System. This clamping system eliminates the hazards caused by half clamping the leading or trailing edge of your material and decreases the likelihood of scrapped parts. 

Overall, the APS automatic positioner and saw system is designed to increase accuracy and efficiency while decreasing the risk for mistakes. This machine truly optimizes the production flow and minimizes the time required to complete the job.

This automated industrial upcut saw is great for cutting wood, aluminum or nearly any non-ferrous metal. When you order the RazorGage APS automated saw with aluminum cutting option, it includes an aluminum cutting blade and left and right mist blade lubrication.

Two days installation and training are included with the purchase of all optimizing saw systems, including the APS industrial upcut saw system (US or Canada only). After installation and training, your brand new APS auto feed saw will be up and running quickly, safely and efficiently.

Automated Saw Software

This optimizing industrial upcut saw system gives you the ability to download your cutlists and use multiple criteria to sort lists into hundreds of groups. Our automated saw fence software is flexible, allowing you to import pre-made lists or edit and create cutlists right at the saw.

In addition to optimizing, the powerful yet intuitive RazorGage software offers several customized screens for various processing needs.

APS Auto Feed Saw Software Screens and Settings

The Auto Pusher Screen enables users to define a cut pattern for a given stock length, save it and run it whenever it’s needed. The auto feed saw software can store thousands of predefined cut patterns and cutlists.

In the Work Order Section, users can create cutlists either locally or on another device and transfer via USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. You could even create a cutlist on your phone and email it to the RazorGage auto saw software. Our software solutions are designed to be intuitive and able to adapt to all types of projects and applications.

Batch Screen is good for running many parts of equal length. Store part numbers containing length and material, select your desired cut length and run the job. Indicate a bundle quantity at run time, and the parts counter will increment accordingly.

The Autolist Screen opens and sorts auto feed saw cutlists into groups of like material, color, job — you name it. Then, the automated saw software automatically optimizes to maximize the yield from each piece of material. The software can also run pre-optimized cutlists. RazorGage saw software is extremely intuitive, versatile and powerful.
