Measuring & positioning systems

Length Stops & Measuring Systems

Improve cutting accuracy and repeatability with length stops, saw stops and digital measuring systems designed to position material quickly and consistently before each cut.

Programmable Saw Stops for More Accurate Cutting

Tuckwell Machinery supplies saw length stops, digital length stops and measuring systems for workshops that need accurate, repeatable material positioning. These systems can reduce manual measuring, improve repeat cutting and help create a more efficient production workflow.

The STROMAB STOP is an electronic measuring positioner with programmable stop and push functions, a SMART 7 touchscreen interface and standard usable lengths from 3,000 mm to 7,000 mm. It can be integrated into suitable cutting workflows to help turn manual processes into more controlled semi-automatic systems.

What Is a Saw Stop or Length Stop System?

A saw stop or length stop measuring system positions material at a defined length before cutting. Instead of manually measuring each workpiece, the operator can use a fixed, digital or programmable stop to improve repeatability and reduce measurement errors.

For workshops processing repeated cut lengths or production lists, a programmable positioning system can help reduce setup time and make day-to-day cutting more consistent.

  • Repeated length cutting
  • Crosscut saw and cut-off machine workflows
  • Digital saw length positioning
  • Programmable stops for production cutting
  • Cutting-list workflows
  • Upgrades from manual to semi-automatic positioning

Programmable Saw Stop & Electronic Positioner

The STROMAB STOP combines an electronic measuring positioner, programmable stop and push system with a modular aluminium profile, roller bench and front support options.

Its reversible layout gives workshops flexibility when planning a new cutting area or upgrading an existing machine.

  • Standard usable lengths of 3,000 / 4,500 / 6,000 / 7,000 mm
  • Electronically controlled stop and push operation
  • Modular and reversible aluminium profile
  • SMART 7 touchscreen control
  • Optional optimisation software
  • Compatible with Stromab and suitable existing crosscut saws

Frequently asked questions

Length Stop & Measuring System FAQs

Answers to common questions about saw stops, programmable positioning and the STROMAB STOP.

What is a saw stop or length stop measuring system used for?

A saw stop or length stop measuring system positions material accurately before cutting. It can improve repeatability, reduce measuring errors and streamline production cutting.

What is the STROMAB STOP?

The STROMAB STOP is an electronic measuring positioner with a programmable stop and push system designed to support more efficient semi-automatic cutting workflows.

What lengths are available for the STROMAB STOP?

The STROMAB STOP is available in standard usable lengths of 3,000 mm, 4,500 mm, 6,000 mm and 7,000 mm.

What is a programmable saw stop?

A programmable saw stop is a digital positioning system that allows operators to set cutting lengths through a control interface instead of manually measuring each workpiece.

How accurate is the STROMAB STOP?

The listed repeatability precision is ±0.1 mm.

What is the maximum positioning speed of the STROMAB STOP?

The listed maximum speed is 60 m/min.

What is the difference between saw length stops and digital length stops?

Saw length stops are positioning systems used to set repeat cutting lengths before a workpiece is cut. A digital length stop adds electronic positioning and control, allowing operators to set or recall cutting lengths without manually measuring each piece.

Does Tuckwell Machinery supply length stops and measuring systems Australia-wide?

Yes. Tuckwell Machinery supplies length stops, measuring systems and programmable saw-stop solutions with advice, setup support and servicing assistance across Australia.
