Soukup Crossline 650 Automatic Angle Cross Cut Saw

Soukup · Timber Window & Door
A fully automatic CNC cross cut saw built for truss and timber frame production, handling angled cuts across the full ±70° range with servo-driven feed and direct BTL file input. If you are running structured cut lists and need consistent accuracy through a long production day, this is where manual and semi-automatic saws run out of road.

Typically chosen by

  • Timber truss manufacturers cutting large batches of components to tight angular tolerances
  • Offsite timber frame fabricators who need to process pre-cut lists from BTL design software without manual re-entry
  • Joinery and structural timber operations that have outgrown manual or semi-automatic crosscutting and need consistent accuracy across long production runs
Before you commit

See it run on your own material

Bring us a sample profile or board and we'll run it through the machine at our Newark showroom. You'll see the output quality firsthand and we can talk through how it fits your workflow - before any decisions are made.

Key specification considerations

Saw Blade Diameter
ø650 mm
Angle Range
20°–160° (turntable rotation), equivalent to ±70° from square
This covers the full range of compound angles typically encountered in truss and rafter production without repositioning the workpiece.
Feed Speed
0–60 m/min (servo-driven)
Cut Tolerance
±0.5 mm per linear metre
For truss and frame work this is a meaningful level of consistency — cumulative error across a full roof structure is kept well within structural tolerances.
SpecificationValueNotes
Saw Blade Diameter
ø650 mm
Saw Blade Speed
2800 RPM
Saw Motor Power
7.5 kW (10 HP)
Three-phase supply — confirm a 3-phase, 400 V, 32 A circuit is available at the installation point before ordering.
Turntable Rotation
20°–160°
Feed Speed
0–60 m/min
Cut Tolerance
±0.5 mm/bm
For truss and frame work this is a meaningful level of consistency — cumulative error across a full roof structure is kept well within structural tolerances.
Material Feed
Servo-driven electronic pusher with automatic head detection
Automatic head detection removes the need for a manual datum step, keeping cycle times short on long cut lists.
Clamping
2 upper + 2 side pneumatic clamps, individual pressure regulation
Individual pressure control allows the machine to handle different timber section sizes without reconfiguring the whole clamping setup.
Saw Blade Lift
Automatic rise to cut, variable lifting speed regulation
Control System
Beckhoff industrial PC with 12" touch screen
Operating Modes
Manual or fully automatic (BTL file input)
BTL compatibility means cut lists generated in most structural timber design packages can be fed directly to the machine without re-keying data.
Software Integration
WinCreator or third-party BTL format software
Confirm compatibility with your existing design or production software with IWM before specifying.
Dust Extraction Outlets
ø120 mm + ø100 mm (both simultaneous)
Both outlets are intended for simultaneous use — confirm your extraction system can accommodate both connections, or discuss a suitable collector with IWM.
Soundproof Design
Yes
The acoustic enclosure brings the measured noise level at the operator position to 60 dB — roughly equivalent to a normal office environment, and well below the level at which additional acoustic treatment would be required.
Maximum Workpiece Length
6,000 mm
Allow adequate infeed and outfeed clearance beyond the machine footprint for full-length material — discuss roller support requirements with IWM at specification stage.
Maximum Section Size
350 mm × 230 mm
Machine Dimensions
13,000 mm (L) × 1,250 mm (W) × 1,600 mm (H)
The 13 m overall length includes the integrated feed and outfeed zones — measure the full bay length, not just the cutting head footprint, when assessing installation space.
Machine Weight
2,000 kg
At 2,000 kg a floor loading assessment is advisable before installation — check your slab specification with a structural engineer if in doubt.
Electrical Supply
3-phase, 400 V, 50 Hz, 32 A (N+E)
A dedicated 32 A three-phase circuit with neutral and earth is required — confirm this is available, or budget for an electrical upgrade, before ordering.
Line Integration
Compatible with conveyors and manipulators
Specific integration requirements will depend on your existing or planned line layout — discuss with IWM at specification stage.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Soukup Crossline 650 Automatic Angle Cross Cut Saw if...

  • Your production involves regular angled cuts across a wide range — particularly compound angles for trusses, rafters, or structural frame components
  • You are running BTL-format cut lists from design software and want to eliminate manual data re-entry at the saw
  • You need a machine that can operate as both a standalone manual saw and a fully automated cell, depending on the job in hand
  • You are building out an offsite fabrication line and need a cross cut station that can be integrated with conveyors or manipulators

Consider an alternate model if...

  • Your cutting is predominantly square cross cuts with only occasional angled work — the Soukup Crossline 500 may be a more proportionate specification at lower cost
  • Your throughput is lower and full CNC automation is not justified — a semi-automatic or manually indexed saw may suit your operation better and reduce capital outlay
  • Your primary requirement is panel or wall frame assembly rather than individual member cutting — the Soukup Framer Profi or Framer Modular Assembly Table may be the more relevant starting point
  • Timber storage and handling between processes is your current bottleneck — consider whether the Timber Frame Offsite Track Storage or Vertical Transporter should be specified alongside or before the saw
