Automation is Easy with the Right Support By The Spida Team

ringing in a new cutting saw – even a high-tech version – is a surprisingly straightforward experience, but it succeeds or fails based on the quality of service and know-how. From purchase through installation to on-going support, Spida will help you automate successfully.
One Customer’s Experience When it came time to replace one of their older manual saws, Leon Cheney’s wishlist was short and to the point. “We wanted a new saw that was going to increase production.” Looking at available saws on the market, the PieceMaker was his clear favorite – it stood out because of its speed and capacity, and its price and delivery time were also streets ahead of the rest. “We wanted to increase production now, not in 12 months’ time,” Cheney stated. His first step was talking to the team at Spida to lay out how the PieceMaker was going to work in his truss plants production. At Spida, we know how important it is to optimize our machines for each customer’s environment. Every fabricator has their own way of doing things, and different requirements from their production, so in this case our Spida team, the Truss plant owner, and production manager worked their way through every question for this new installation.
The Installation Team Describing the installation process sounds simple, but only because of the complex planning that goes into it. Packed onto one semi, a machine can go from factory floor to cutting within a week or so. From Cheney’s perspective, his new saw fit in smoothly. “The install team spent three or four days putting it together, and then after that was training, calibration, and configuring. All in all, there were many hands to make the installation as easy as possible. We had already done work on saw files and reviewing what we wanted to cut with the saw, all with the help of the Spida technical guys, the rest just fell into place.” Continued next page
