EasyStop

Increase Your Efficiency & Precision with this versatile tool that can be incorporated in any shop.

The Weinig EasyStop is a linear positioning system that allows you complete flexibility while ensuring  precision, power, and quickness. The EasyStop can position even the heaviest loads with unmatched accuracy reducing your handling costs and providing a safer and more efficient work environment.

EasyStop is the new automatic length stop from Weinig. Used in combination with virtually any machine for cutting, drilling or milling of any material, the automatic length stop provides faster, more comfortable, and more precise processing.

For any process that repeatedly requires a tape measure, the EasyStop provides fast, repeatable measurement which is accurate to +/- 0.1mm. Malcolm

Cuthbertson, managing director of Weinig UK, says: “Careful measuring is necessary, but if you have an operator doing it regularly, it’s inefficient, slow and expensive in time and, when the measurements aren’t quite right, wasted material.

“EasyStop is a very simple, precise and easy-to-use solution that fits with almost any machine to process almost any material.”

The OptiCom Assist user interface could not be simpler for set up or use. Absolute position of the positioning stop is actively monitored by the software and extreme loads are compensated by the integrated intelligent drive control – the hydraulic buffer means if the stop is knocked, the measurement will still be accurate.

As the brains of the EasyStop, the OptiCom Assist user interface is intuitive and requires minimal training. Clear and easy to use, the interface guarantees efficient operation regardless of operating experience. With modes for both manual operation and list operation, the operator can set a desired length, or save 10 lists with 20 lengths each for fast processing of complete sets.

Other features include consideration of multiple lengths required, actual number of pieces, and editing of individual workpieces or workpiece packages. The

EasyStop comes with its own stand and has options for roller tables.

The EasyStop comes from the Weinig Group – the leading technology and machinery provider worldwide for the solid wood processing industry and artisan trades – and has the Weinig guarantee, support and service.

Flexible Usability

The Stop System

The Stop System operating mode replaces one-off manual stop positioning. The workflow remains the same – enter the desired position, align the workpieces against the stop and machine the workpiece. The time-consuming activity of measuring and manually setting your stop is completely eliminated with this automatic positioning system.

Active Workpiece Transport

The Active Workpiece Transport mode aligns your workpiece quickly and accurately at various lengths taken from your cutlist. After defining your cutlist the EasyStop starts at a loading position and then transfers the workpiece to each desired cut without needing dimensional input from the operator. EasyStop compensates for the machining width of the cutting tool so your cuts are precise each time.

MillVision Integration

So you would like to have a better idea of where your parts are? Has the job been completed? MillVision not only allows you to control what parts and jobs need to be cut, it allows you to manage the process. By posting a simple part list to MillVision, your operator will be able to view this list and begin the process without any paper, or manual entry that may inadvertently induce human error. Whether you have 5 EasyStops, or 1, MillVision allows shops like yours to create a complete workpiece flow across multiple machines and processes.
