Product Overview
The 8160B Infrared Edge Saw Blade Edge Cutting Machine cuts the outer edge of timber boards after they are sawn, using infrared parallel light to guide the cut. It is designed for use in sawmills and wood board plants where consistent edge quality and dimensional accuracy are required. The machine operates with a 150 mm saw blade and processes boards up to 22 mm thick. It is part of a timber wood cutting line that may include a band saw or circular saw for initial cutting.
Key Benefits
- Infrared parallel light guide ensures precise edge alignment and reduces cutting deviation
- Stable operation with minimal manual adjustment needed during production
- Reduces waste from misaligned or uneven edges in finished boards
- Processes boards up to 22 mm thick, suitable for standard timber board thicknesses
- 4.55 kW motor provides consistent power for continuous cutting
- Customisable working power supply to match local electrical standards
Application Scenarios
- A sawmill upgrading from manual edge trimming to automated infrared-guided cutting
- A wood board plant adding a finishing step to ensure consistent edge quality before packaging
- A facility producing dimensional lumber where edge straightness affects downstream assembly
- A plant that already uses circular or band saws and needs a reliable edge trimmer for final sizing
Who It Is For
- Sawmills and wood processing plants
- Timber board manufacturers producing standard thickness boards
- Wood product factories requiring precise edge dimensions for assembly or finishing
- Factories integrating automated edge cutting into a larger wood cutting line
Problems It Solves
- Manual edge trimming leads to inconsistent cuts and higher scrap rates
- Lack of alignment guidance causes edge deviation, especially on long boards
- Inconsistent edge quality affects downstream processes like sanding, gluing or packaging
- Operators must constantly adjust the cut position, increasing fatigue and error risk
- Without a fixed reference, edge width varies between batches and shifts
Technical Features
- Infrared parallel light guide system for real-time edge positioning
- 150 mm saw blade with adjustable height and angle for different board thicknesses
- Motor power of 4.55 kW for stable cutting performance
- Adjustable cutting height to match board thickness up to 22 mm
- Overall machine size of 1750 mm x 750 mm x 900 mm for compact integration
- Control system with power supply customisable to local voltage and phase

Materials
- Timber boards up to 22 mm thick
- Hardwood and softwood boards with straight edges
- Pre-sawn boards from band saws or circular saws
Manufacturing And Process
Step 1
Feed the pre-sawn timber board into the machine at the input side
Step 2
Infrared parallel light projects a guide line along the edge to be cut
Step 3
The operator aligns the board edge with the light guide before cutting
Step 4
The 150 mm saw blade trims the board edge to the desired width
Step 5
The trimmed board exits the machine with a straight, consistent edge
Step 6
The machine can be used in sequence with a band saw or circular saw for full processing
Quality Control
- Infrared light guide checked daily for alignment and brightness
- Saw blade inspected and replaced when worn or dull to maintain cut quality
- Cut edge measured on sample boards after start-up and after each shift
- Machine calibrated before first use and after any transport
- Free sample testing available with the buyer's own boards before purchase
Customization Options
- Working power supply configured for the destination country's voltage and phase
- Saw blade size and type adjusted if the buyer uses non-standard blades
- Machine can be quoted as part of a full timber wood cutting line including saws and conveyors
- Mounting feet or base plate adapted for factory floor conditions
Compared With The Alternatives
| Manual edge trimming with hand saws | Manual trimming requires constant operator attention and results in inconsistent edges; the 8160B reduces error and operator fatigue |
|---|---|
| Standard mechanical edge trimmer without infrared guide | Mechanical guides drift over time and require frequent readjustment; infrared guide maintains alignment without operator input |
| Laser-guided edge cutter | Laser systems are more expensive and sensitive to dust; infrared guide is cost-effective and stable in industrial environments |
Use Guide
- Ensure the infrared light guide is clean and unobstructed before each shift
- Align the board edge with the infrared line before starting the cut; do not rely on visual estimation
- Adjust the saw blade height to match the board thickness; use the machine's height gauge
- Inspect the cut edge after every 50 boards to check for deviation or blade wear
- Contact us on WhatsApp for the English operation video if the operator is new to infrared-guided cutting
8160B Infrared Edge Saw Blade Edge Cutting Machine FAQ
What is the maximum board thickness this machine can cut?
Up to 22 mm. Boards thicker than this may require a different machine or blade setup.
Can the machine be used with different saw blade sizes?
The machine is designed for a 150 mm saw blade. Other sizes may be possible with custom tooling and structural changes.
What power supply does it need?
The working power supply is customisable to match local voltage and phase requirements.
How long is the lead time?
5 to 15 workdays if the machine is in stock, otherwise 15 to 60 workdays depending on quantity and model.
What are the payment terms?
Orders up to 10000 USD are 100% in advance. Above 10000 USD it is 30% T/T deposit with the balance before shipment.
Can you test my own boards before I buy?
Yes, free sample testing is available. You cover the freight and send the specific boards you plan to run.
Is the machine easy to install?
Yes, installation and operation training are included. The machine is designed for simple floor mounting and electrical connection.
