Soukup Framer Line

Soukup
A purpose-built assembly line for timber frame panel production — wall, floor, and roof panels up to 12 m, with powered width adjustment across the full 2–4 m range. Built for offsite manufacturers who need consistent output without constant manual reset between panel sizes.

Typically chosen by

  • Offsite timber frame manufacturers producing wall, floor, or roof panels at scale
  • Joinery and structural workshops looking to bring panel framing in-house with a repeatable, ergonomic process
  • Businesses expanding capacity who need a line that can handle panel widths from 2 to 4 m without constant manual adjustment

Key specification considerations

Panel Length Capacity
Up to 12 m
Two independently controlled tables combine to accommodate full-length structural panels — worth confirming your workshop has sufficient run-out clearance beyond the machine footprint.
Panel Width Range
2–4 m
Width setting is powered, reducing the manual adjustment time between panel sizes and keeping production moving across varying specifications.
Table Configuration
1+1 separately controlled
Panel Movement
Integrated rollers with pneumatic lifting
Pneumatic lifting means panels can be repositioned without manual effort — relevant when you are handling heavy or oversized frames repeatedly through a shift.

Overall Dimensions
Confirm with IWM
A line handling panels up to 12 m will require significant floor space including feed and exit clearance — contact IWM to confirm the full installed footprint before committing to a layout.
Machine Weight
Confirm with IWM
Contact IWM to confirm machine weight prior to installation so that floor loading can be assessed if required.
Power Requirement
Confirm with IWM
Contact IWM to confirm phase and amperage — a line of this scale is likely to require a three-phase supply.
Pneumatic Supply Requirement
Confirm with IWM
The pneumatic lifting and actioning functions require a compressed air supply on site — contact IWM to confirm pressure and flow requirements before installation.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Soukup Framer Line if...

  • You are producing timber frame panels at volume and need a line purpose-built for panels up to 12 m — not a workaround on a general assembly bench
  • Panel width varies regularly across your production schedule and you need powered width adjustment to avoid slow, manual changeovers
  • Ergonomics and operator fatigue matter — the integrated roller and pneumatic lifting system removes the heavy manual handling associated with large structural panels
  • You need a robust, industrial-grade system that will hold accuracy and withstand the demands of a busy offsite manufacturing environment

Consider an alternate model if...

  • You need crosscutting capability alongside framing — the Soukup Crossline 650 Automatic Angle Cross Cut Saw or Soukup Crossline 500 Cross Cut Saw may be the more relevant starting point
  • Your primary requirement is panel storage or movement between production stages rather than framing assembly — the Timber Frame Offsite Panels Vertical Transporter or Soukup Timber Frame Off Site Track Storage may better address that need
  • You need to tilt or present completed panels for transport or further processing — the Soukup Timber Frame Off Site Tilting Wing Table is designed for that stage of the workflow
  • Your panel sizes are consistently smaller or your production volumes do not justify a full framing line — talk to IWM about whether a simpler table configuration would suit your operation better
