Problem

Ontario Truss and Wall were experiencing growth and increased production demands. The linear saw they had at the time was unable to keep up with these demands, so they needed to find a replacement. Ontario Truss and Wall required a saw that could cut their components efficiently and decided the timing was right to introduce an automated saw to their factory.

Solution

The PieceMaker, an automated Linear Saw.

The PieceMaker cuts, prints and handles the lumber required for Ontario Truss and Wall’s manufacturing needs. Designed with heavy duty componentry ensuring reliability, accuracy and production power, it speeds through the production of virtually any angle or joint whether from multiple stacks or singles. This saw ticked all the boxes for our customer.

Ontario Truss and Wall had a number of purchasing criteria for their new saw, including:

  • Automation, to aid their efficiency requirements
  • A product which uses the newest technology on the market – they wished to future proof their purchase as much as they could
  • Availability of saw – Spida’s PieceMaker was able to be delivered much earlier than competitors that Ontario Truss and Wall looked at.
Outcome

Ontario Truss and Wall had the PieceMaker installed in April 2022 and have been benefiting from the efficiencies it provides ever since.

Key outcomes achieved include:

  • Productivity increase while utilizing a similar footprint as the previous saw
  • Efficiency increase in cutting and loading jobs
  • More accurate cuts
  • Ease of calibration of the saw
  • More support and updates for any issues that arise
  • Onsite training and support from Spida Machinery
Why Spida Machinery?

When asked why they chose Spida Machinery for their automated saw, Ontario Truss and Wall said it was a collection of factors rather than just one thing.  

Firstly, the fact that Spida Machinery is an innovative and reputable manufacturer.  Secondly, the features and capabilities of the saw itself – it outperforms competitors and finally the availability, the PieceMaker was available earlier than saws from competitors.

“We were looking for an automated linear saw that could help with our increasing production demands. The PieceMaker ticked all the boxes for us! Super efficient, accuracy of cutting and it was available when we needed it. The benefits it has provided our plant are great”. - Paul Waterfall, Plant Manager, Ontario Truss and Wall
