Since the debut of the initial Retro C in 2007, Eventek remained committed to offering the most straightforward component saw in their sector. Their dedication to consistency, workmanship quality, and customer-centric approach has propelled the Retro C to become the swiftest, safest, and most cost-effective component saw system on the market.
The Retro C stands out as the pinnacle of productivity and cost efficiency within the truss industry. This auto-feeding component saw surpasses traditional linear saws with its ability to effortlessly cut "truss-by-truss". Our innovative automatic feeding system and user-friendly automation ensure consistent and rapid production, addressing the industry's needs effectively.
Constructed from a refurbished Mitek 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, EasySet, or Cyber A/T component saw frame, the Retro C undergoes a comprehensive overhaul by Enventek. This refurbishment not only extends the lifespan of the frame but also enhances its capabilities beyond the original specifications. With a capacity to cut over 100 pieces per minute, the Retro C offers a significant competitive advantage in the market.
Designed with a focus on speed, accuracy, and safety, the Retro C features an innovative automatic feed system. Operators can control the system from the stationary side of the saw, ensuring enhanced safety by minimizing proximity to blades and carriage movements during setup and operation.
In 2022, Enventek introduces a groundbreaking upgrade option: the High Density (HD) saw system. This cutting-edge enhancement allows for even greater speed and throughput. With the HD saw system, operators can achieve unparalleled efficiency, cutting over 200 boards per minute and unlocking unprecedented levels of throughput. Elevate your productivity with Enventek's Retro C and HD saw system upgrade, setting new standards in truss manufacturing.
Linear PickLine presents a streamlined and sophisticated solution, offering truss plants the ability to store various lumber sizes and retrieve them effortlessly without relying on forklifts. Our innovative system empowers lumber pickers to inspect, crown, and assess for knots and wane before the lumber reaches the saws. By ensuring the delivery of quality lumber to the saws, Linear PickLine drives up production, enhances throughput, and minimizes labor requirements. Whether you require a small batch or a large order, Linear PickLine stands as the swiftest and most efficient method for feeding a component saw.
With Linear PickLine, forklifts are only utilized when loading a full bunk of lumber. This strategic approach not only reduces wear and tear on forklifts but also slashes maintenance costs.
For facilities with even higher volume demands, our dual Linear PickLines offer a convenient solution. By enabling the simultaneous loading of two or more saws from the same lumber inventory, dual PickLines maintain the benefits of forklift reduction while further optimizing the storage footprint of lumber within your facility. Experience heightened efficiency and space optimization with Linear PickLine, setting new standards in lumber handling for truss plants.
SpeedCatch was developed to eliminate the necessity for a full-time catcher behind the Retro C and to streamline the organization process post-lumber cutting. It comprises an automated catch system that efficiently organizes and captures lumber behind the RetroC, enabling the RetroC to operate at high speeds without requiring a dedicated catcher. The rapid loading and transition between carts ensure seamless operation alongside the Retro C, except for the most challenging scenarios.
Utilizing a four-slot system, SpeedCatch efficiently organizes top and bottom cords, minimizing setups on the Retro C. This feature enables the simultaneous cutting of symmetrical trusses without the need for repeated saw adjustments. Additionally, when integrated with projector software, SpeedCatch facilitates lumber organization at the table, necessitating only cart labeling rather than individual lumber pieces. Ultimately, SpeedCatch optimizes efficiency and cost-effectiveness by reducing the workforce required for a given task.
SmartConveyor is a servo-controlled conveyor that feeds the Retro C component saw. The purpose of the SmartConveyor is to separate and prepare lumber before it enters the saw. The SmartConveyor has two modes of operation. The automatic mode allows Retro C to operate with a single operator feeding and tailing the saw. This allows the saw operator to double his production and virtually eliminates the need for another man to tail the saw for most jobs.
For larger runs the SmartConveyor has a second mode that allows it to be operated with a foot pedal. This allows the operator to load continuous at a higher speed than the fully automatic mode. The SmartConveyor provides tangible improvements to the speed at which you can load the Retro C and takes the cutting process to a whole new level.
For larger runs the SmartConveyor has a second mode that allows it to be operated with a foot petal. This allows the operator to load continuously at a higher speed than the fully automatic mode. The SmartConveyor provides tangible improvements to the speed at which you can load the Retro C and takes the cutting process to a whole new level.
PlantOne Projection revolutionizes truss assembly by serving as a visual assistant that enhances organization, productivity, and accuracy in plate placement within your facility. This advanced system offers customizable measurements that seamlessly integrate with your client's software, displayed on your computer screen for easy access. By significantly reducing setup time and simplifying the assembly process, PlantOne Projection enables the utilization of less experienced employees, as all pertinent information is presented in a clear and comprehensible format. Embrace the transition to a paperless workflow with PlantOne Projection – the ultimate solution you've been seeking.
By utilizing two TV screens or projectors to create an ultra-wide display, PlantOne Projection enhances visibility, particularly for complex trusses. Multiple screens further boost productivity by allowing information to be displayed exactly where and when it's needed.
Truss timers integrated within PlantOne Projection offer real-time tracking of truss assembly progress. With a quick glance, plant managers can monitor the time elapsed since the last truss was built, facilitating efficient management across multiple crews and identifying potential bottlenecks effortlessly. Experience heightened efficiency and accuracy in truss assembly with PlantOne Projection – your indispensable tool for streamlined operations.
SafeGrip presents a straightforward yet highly efficient bolt-on lumber clamping system. It offers the flexibility to be retrofitted onto various radial arm saw models already available on the market, including those manufactured by MangoTech Apollo, Alpine Metracut, and Spida CXM.
The primary objective behind SafeGrip's design is to enhance the safety of radial saw operations by securely clamping lumber during cutting processes. Beyond its evident safety advantages, SafeGrip empowers users to efficiently transform smaller lumber pieces into useful components, thereby minimizing the volume of scrap material typically discarded.
