WHAT WE DO
GANG SAWING SYSTEMS
Gang sawing systems come in all shapes and sizes and we build a G Machine to fit your needs. The G Machine Company has the design expertise to bring you fixed saw machines to highly complex combination machines with shifting clusters, conical or drum style chippers, and combination edge/gang machines. Cant sawing for maximum recovery by tracking the saws to follow the sweeps and curves of your raw live edged center cants is right up our alley. If you have a gang sawing requirement, we can build a gang system to handle it.
BOARD EDGER SYSTEMS
Regardless of whether you are looking for a simple 2 saw machine or a custom design with multiple saws and a reducer top head to handle jacket boards, a G Mahine will meet your requirements. Thin Kerf sawing and "slew and skew" linear feed systems are our bread and butter. Our machine designs support feed rates to 1500'/min and beyond to get the highest production rates and fastest ROI in the industry.
CUSTOM LINEAR & TRANSVERSE FEED SYSTEMS
It doesn't matter to us if you are installing a new machine or retrofitting an existing machine, one thing we know for sure is that no two sawmills are the same. And that means that each application requires a specialized approach to getting your raw materials to and from the machine centers within the constraints imposed by existing machinery layouts or physical room at the facility itself. We build the material handling and feed systems required by the application.
OPTIMIZATION TO ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST ROI AVAILABLE
At the G Machine Company, we focus on what we do best, designing and manufacturing the most advanced sawing machines available to deliver sawing systems to our customers that reach the highest levels of performance. To achieve that goal, we partner with the most qualified specialists in the scanning,optimization and machine control fields to complement our machines and to bring you the combined results of working with specialists providing transverse, and lineal scanning technologies.
UPGRADES, PARTS & SERVICE
When you need to extend the life of your existing machinery, we are uniquely qualified to re-engineer your sawguide system for thin kerf sawing and higher production speeds. We can supply parts and qualified machinery service personnel to assist in edger and gang upgrades of all types to extend the life of your machinery until you are ready to install replacement machines in your mill.
SAWING SYSTEMS ENGINEERING & LAYOUT SERVICES
When you are just not sure how to get your vision integrated into your plant material flow or building constraints, the G Machine Company can help you engineer machinery layouts, plan views and elevations, trash system modifications and just about any other aspect of designing or re-designing your production facility to get the changes you know you need integrated into your existing operations.
