Soukup Crossline 500m Cross Cut Saw

Soukup · Timber Window & Door
A servo-driven automatic crosscut saw for workshops that need to process cutting lists accurately and repeatedly at volume. Built for square crosscutting of structural and engineered timber up to 120 mm section height.

Typically chosen by

  • Timber frame manufacturers who need to process cutting lists accurately and repeatedly without hand-measuring every piece
  • Structural timber workshops stepping up from manual or semi-automatic crosscutting to reduce bottlenecks in component preparation
  • Off-site construction businesses where dimensional tolerance across long lengths directly affects assembly accuracy on site

Key specification considerations

Saw Blade Diameter
500 mm
Max. Cutting Height
120 mm
This is the maximum depth of cut at 90°; confirm that your largest section timber falls within this limit before specifying.
Feed Speed
0–60 m/min
Variable feed speed allows the machine to be dialled to material size and cut frequency, which affects both cycle time and finish quality.
Length Tolerance
0.5 mm/m
On a 6 m length this equates to a maximum positional error of 3 mm — relevant if your downstream assembly or joinery relies on close component fit.
SpecificationValueNotes
Saw Blade Diameter
500 mm
Cut Angle
90°
This model cuts square only; if angled crosscuts are required, consider the Soukup Crossline 650 Automatic Angle Cross Cut Saw.
Material Length (Standard)
6,000 mm
Material Length (Extended Options)
9,000 mm / 12,000 mm
Extended feed track configurations are available; confirm with IWM which option suits your standard stock lengths and workshop footprint.
Max. Cutting Height
120 mm
Confirm that your largest section timber falls within this limit before specifying.
Feed Speed
0–60 m/min
Saw Blade Motor
7.5 kW (10 HP)
This motor requires a three-phase supply; confirm your site's three-phase capacity with your electrician before ordering.
Length Tolerance
0.5 mm/m
Dust Extraction Spigots
100 mm + 120 mm
Two extraction points require connection to a suitably sized extraction unit; confirm your existing extraction capacity covers both outlets simultaneously.
Control Interface
10" Touch Screen
Automatic Material Measuring
Yes
The machine measures incoming material automatically, removing the need for manual marking-out and reducing operator error on repetitive cutting lists.
Servo Driven Electronic Loading
Yes
Servo-driven feed gives precise, repeatable positioning of each piece — this is what delivers the 0.5 mm/m tolerance across the full length.
Manual Cutting List Input
Yes
Static Unloading Table
Yes
Grooving Module
Optional extra
The grooving module is available as an add-on; it is used during prefabrication to mark stud positions precisely within panel construction. Confirm requirement and pricing with IWM at enquiry stage.
Machine Length
11,960 mm
At nearly 12 m in its standard configuration, shop floor length should be measured carefully before enquiring — extended material options will require additional clearance at the infeed end.
Machine Width
1,210 mm
Allow additional clearance either side for operator access and safe timber handling.
Machine Height
1,590 mm
Machine Weight
Confirm with IWM
Weight data is not published in available documentation; ask IWM to confirm before checking floor loading, particularly on mezzanine or older industrial slabs.
Electrical Supply
Three-phase (full spec: confirm with IWM)
The 7.5 kW saw blade motor requires a three-phase supply; full voltage and amperage data should be confirmed with IWM so your electrician can verify site readiness before ordering.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Soukup Crossline 500m Cross Cut Saw if...

  • You are producing timber frame components from cutting lists and need automatic length measurement and servo-driven feed to maintain consistent accuracy across high volumes
  • Your crosscutting is all at 90° and you do not need angled cuts — this machine is optimised for square crosscutting and is simpler to specify and operate as a result
  • You are working with structural softwood or engineered timber up to 120 mm in section height and up to 6 m in standard length (or up to 12 m with extended configuration)
  • You want a machine that an operator can load a cutting list into and run with minimal intervention, reducing labour cost per component

Consider an alternate model if...

  • You need to cut compound or angled crosscuts — the Soukup Crossline 650 Automatic Angle Cross Cut Saw handles angular cutting up to ±70° and may be more appropriate for rafter or roof component work
  • Your volume does not justify a fully automated feed system — the Soukup Crossline 500 (non-M) may offer the same cutting capacity at lower capital cost if manual feeding is acceptable
  • Your workshop cannot accommodate nearly 12 m of floor length even in its standard configuration — discuss space constraints with IWM before proceeding
  • You are primarily cutting panels or working with SIP construction — the Soukup Framer Profi or Framer Modular system may be a better fit for that workflow
