3-1000 CNC-Sawmill Machine

NPO BARS, Chelyabinsk, Russia, a manufacturer of CNC-sawmill machines and water-jet cutting systems announces that in addition to the successful BARS-1A, BARS-3 and BARS-DG new BARS-3-1000 machine is now available.

Since 1999 our company NPO BARS has designed and manufactured CNC-sawmill machinery that implement the principle of angular cutting having one saw blade in the horizontal plane, another
– in the vertical. BARS-3 and BARS-3-1000 are designated to be operated at woodworking factories for cutting logs into high-quality edged lumber in the automatic mode and produce workpieces for moldings, glued beam, edge-glued panel, windows and parquet.

"We are pleased to continue to expand our CNC-sawmill line to address our customer requests for our proven, quality designed and manufactured machines in larger sizes" stated the company business director.

BARS-3-1000 and BARS-3 are complete with OPTIMA and MONITORING programmes. You can be assured that the OPTIMA program allows to obtain high and stable lumber yields of 63% to 69% with maximum yield of quarter-sawn lumber. The saw blades are moved automatically in accordance with the cutting chart generated by the program in advance. The MONITORING program provides automatic recordkeeping of raw materials, finished products, machine operation and work of personnel.

The log is clamped and aligned with the help of hydraulic system. Sawn-off boards are removed by the reverse movement of the bridge at maximum speed.

Our BARS-3 and BARS-3-1000 machines can be equipped with a hydraulic log loader with the help of which logs may be loaded from the floor – this way only one operator for the machine is required.

Due to the combination of an advanced optimization system, an automatic lumber removal system and hydraulic log loader the process of cutting is fully automatic. BARS machines are characterized by high precision of cutting with tolerance of ± 0.5 mm.

Bars-3-1000 has been designed and built to meet the needs of those who favour the structure of BARS-3 automatic CNC-sawmill machine but need a machine to cut larger logs up to 1000mm in diameter. BARS-3 can cut logs up to 700 mm in diameter.

Productivity Soars With CNC Machines

CNC machines can be a lifesaver in an industry setting. They speed up work in those tedious jobs that seem to never end. Although they can be a bit pricey new for solo use, you can put one to work on your wood working room for around half the price if you buy used.

About CNC Machines - How Do They Work?

CNC machines, aka Computer Numerated Control machines, are mechanical drillers, in a nutshell. When they are programmed properly, the CNC equipment can produced drilled holes in record time. This technology first hit industry in the 1970s and turned manual labor on its head. Production times were reduced significantly by this milling machine.

The reason CNC machines were so revolutionary is because they could complete the work of many human drillers in record time, and the work they were produced all but eliminated human error. Many industrial industries rely upon CNC equipment every day.

CNC Machine Types

If woodcutting is your thing, a CNC lathe is the way to go. This machine can cut your wood in any width and shape you want with minimal error and incredible speed.

For a milling machine, a Bridgeport machine is the best choice. Although these machines are extremely pricey, they can also make milling significantly more productive.

CNC machines can also be used for engraving. They can engrave on nearly any surface, and with the right programming, they can engrave a huge variety of different fonts, letters, and designs.

CNC Machines on a Budget

These machines might be ultra productive, but most individuals could never make enough use out of them to justify their hefty price tag. However, if you have a small but growing business, a CNC machine could take you to the next level. Buy used, save big time, and watch your profits grow.

Refurbished CNC machines are even cheaper than ones that are merely used but have never had any problems. A refurbished machine is one that has been repaired by a professional, and the extent of the repairs will impact the price you can get on one. You don't have to fear these refurbished machines because they have had a few problems in the past. In almost every case, a refurbished machine will come with a warranty that will give you peace of mind about your investment. Shy away from those "buyer beware," no warranty type of packages. A good refurbisher won't mind backing up their own work.

CNC targets multi-spindle automatic lathes.

SIEB & MEYER USA Announces 8th Generation CNC and Machine Control Platform for Multi-Spindle Automatic (MSA) Lathes


Provides OEMs, specialty machine builders, and retrofitters with a high-performance, all-digital machine control platform. We offer specialize applications for Acme, New Britain, Warner & Swasey, Euroturn and Gildemeister MSA lathes

Cincinnati, Ohio - SIEB & MEYER USA introduces its 8th generation CNC and motion control platform for Multi-Spindle Automatic (MSA) machine tools. This next generation CNC provides a sophisticated blend of industrial hardened technology with the advantages of a PC-based control that has seen business activity triple in 2008. Part lot sizes are smaller today, tolerances are tighter and the traditional screw machine shops must have more flexibility. CNC control of the machine is the solution to reduce setup time, add single point threading and improve accuracy. Other benefits include data collection, machine network connectivity, remote diagnostic service support and more.

"We are moving 1960's screw machine technology into the 21st. century and are very excited to offer this new platform to the industrial automation community," said Jay Endres, SIEB & MEYER USA, President. "We have leveraged our 37 year history to deliver a solution that provides OEMs, retrofitters and manufactures with a control that is easy to install, uses standard hardware components, and delivers superb performance."
