HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES
Cast Iron Saw Table
Superior Strength with Honeycomb Structure
Our Cast Iron Tables are engineered for exceptional durability and performance. Featuring a robust honeycomb structure, these tables provide the best strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring reliable support without unnecessary bulk.
Triple-Planed for Optimal Quality
Each table undergoes a meticulous three-step planing process to ensure the highest standards of Robland Quality. Crafted from premium Belgian cast iron, the planing process is conducted in-house to maintain strict quality control:
- Initial Planing: The table is planed to achieve perfect flatness, creating a stable and even surface.
- Friction Reduction: The second step involves further planing to reduce friction, ensuring smooth operation during use.
- Signature Microgrooves: The final step introduces our signature microgrooves. This delicate removal of material results in minimal energy dissipation, enhancing the precision and ease of movement for wooden workpieces.
Enhanced Precision with Microgroove Technology
Our microgroove technology is the hallmark of our cast iron tables. These finely crafted grooves allow for effortless gliding of wood, minimizing resistance and ensuring maximum precision during cutting operations. The result is a table surface that not only supports high accuracy but also significantly reduces the effort required in handling materials.
BOSS Sliding table
Revolutionary Design for Unmatched Precision
The BOSS Sliding Table System is built around our groundbreaking Balls On Solid Steel (BOSS) design, delivering the highest level of smoothness and accuracy. This advanced system ensures that every movement of the carriage is effortless and precise, making it an essential feature for achieving exceptional results in woodworking.
Frictionless Carriage Movement
Hardened steel balls glide seamlessly along solid steel shafts, creating a frictionless operation that guarantees precise and smooth movement. This innovative design minimizes resistance, allowing for easy and accurate adjustments, even under heavy loads.
Low-Maintenance Cleanliness
To ensure the system remains in optimal condition, replaceable cleaning sponges are installed at each end of the sliding table. These sponges effectively remove dust and debris from the shafts, maintaining the cleanliness of the system with minimal upkeep. This feature ensures that the BOSS Sliding Table System remains consistent and reliable, offering years of effortless operation.
Cast Iron Saw Aggregate
Engineered for Excellence
At the core of the Z500 is our commitment to precision and quality, with nearly every component meticulously crafted in-house. The cast iron saw aggregate, a cornerstone of the machine’s performance, pivots on two precisely machined cast iron shells. This high level of precision is made possible by our dedication to producing these critical components ourselves, ensuring that every Z500 meets the highest standards of quality and durability.
Comprehensive In-House Manufacturing
Beyond the saw aggregate, we take pride in manufacturing almost every part of the Z500 in-house, from the saw-axis to the frame and beyond. This hands-on approach allows us to maintain complete control over the production process, guaranteeing the exceptional performance that our machines are known for. By making nearly everything in-house, we can ensure that each component is engineered to exacting standards, resulting in a machine that delivers reliable, professional-grade results.
SKF Collaboration for Enhanced Bearing Longevity
To minimize play in the saw axis and ensure precise operation, we apply a controlled force on our bearings. Recognizing the need for both precision and durability under these conditions, we partnered with SKF to develop a bearing system that extends lifespan while maintaining accuracy. This collaboration has led to a solution that enhances the performance and longevity of our machines, even under demanding conditions.
