Four dedicated, direct drive motors are used to power 4 V notch blades. The arrangement allows a front or rear V notch to be cut in one pass, as opposed to two passes (as on older Stuga machines). This reduces the cycle time of all V notch operations. Y notches are now carried out on the saw side of the machine (see Y Drive)

This document is intended for existing users and owners of Stuga Flowlines to help explain the improvements and enhancements made to the flowline / ZX3 / ZX4 range of machines into out latest flagship product - the ZX5

A video of the machine in production can be seen here https://vimeo.com/279288374

Mechanical Enhancements

Twin V Notch Heads

Four dedicated, direct drive motors are used to power 4 V notch blades. The arrangement allows a front or rear V notch to be cut in one pass, as opposed to two passes (as on older Stuga machines). This reduces the cycle time of all V notch operations. Y notches are now carried out on the saw side of the machine (see Y Drive)

Tru-loc Gripper System

A dual-tooth fixed gripper design accurately and reliably locates into the profile


  • Tapered pins on both sides of machine ensure an accurate and reliable datum
  • 2 holes and pins are used to cover all profile types - this eliminates the need for a "G" axis sideways movement on the gripper
  • Elininates gripper slip
  • Allows a more dynamic acceleration and deceleration on all x axis movements, therefore improving cycle time

  • All profile slideways on both sides of machine consist of roller beds
  • Profile slides with negligiblke friction
  • No marking of profile on base
  • Rollers lift and place profile onto transfer conveyors, reducing both profile marking and possibility of profile "tipping"
