The horizontal panel saw is the first machine in the panel-furniture production chain: it cuts whole panels into pieces precisely and repeatably for all subsequent operations. The MAYER kappa automatic 80 32.32 is a new saw of this type, year of manufacture 2026, with a cutting length of 3200 mm.

The automatic pusher with six grippers positions the panel by itself for every cut, while the Ø320 mm main saw unit with a 9 kW motor and a pneumatically lowered scoring saw gives a clean cut on both sides. The saw carriage travels at 5–100 m/min. Control is via a 24-inch terminal with PC7000 software, with automatic cutting-length recognition by a laser sensor, a label printer and a cutting optimisation program.
