Length
The left head defines the origin, the right one is set to the selected length. The displayed cutting planes are perpendicular to the profile.
Design concept
Double-head saw for repeatable length and angle cutting of profiles. The Reverse Garda version enables inward and outward head tilting. The lowered blade center increases the cross-cutting capacity. The configuration is determined by the maximum cross-section, length and required cutting geometry.

How to understand the process.
01 / 04
Two heads, coordinated length and angles
Two-head cutting prepares both ends of the profile to the specified length. The movable head defines the distance, while the head setting determines the geometry of both ends. Before blade movement, the profile must be supported and clamped.
The animation explains the application principle. It is not a motion or equipment simulation of model SW 553 R Reverse Garda3.
What defines this version ↓Key features of SW 553 R Reverse Garda3
- R: the lowered blade center increases the cross-cutting area.
- Design: 3 CNC axes.
- Reverse: tilting the heads inward and outward.
- Electronic head tilt adjustment; for repeatable angle changes.
- Maximum standard simultaneous cut; length versions: 5000/6000 mm
- Tilt (°): 22,5 ÷ 135
- Materials in the manufacturer’s programme: aluminium. Suitability is checked for the specific profile.
- Possibility of connection to the production information system; interfaces and additional equipment according to configuration.
How to compare the version
Distinguish between head longitudinal travel, head tilt and rotation for compound angles. A section that can be cut at 90° is not necessarily feasible at another angle. Before selection, compare the cutting diagram and profile orientation.

From data to machine.
From list to cutting
The list defines the lengths and quantities of pieces. The format must match import on the selected machine.
You transfer the data into the saw software. The transfer path depends on the model and supported format.
Check the material, dimensions and cutting settings on the machine. The diagram shows the division of the profile into pieces.
Schematic view of the function · options depend on the model and equipment.- DXF and cut preparation
- DXF transfers the profile geometry. Cut lengths, quantities and angles are specified by a cutting list in a supported format. A DXF drawing alone is not a complete cutting order; both sets of data must be checked before cutting.
- Office connection
- Connectivity with external programs is indicated. The specific program, export format, version and required licenses are confirmed before selection.
- Production data
- For this model, the manufacturer lists MES connectivity, including OPC UA. We agree the data set, transfer direction and required modules with your system; an available interface does not mean that an ERP connection is already implemented.
Compatibility is confirmed using a sample file for the selected controller, software and machine equipment. Import, simulation and execution are separate steps: tools, clamping, machining access and a safe trial cycle must be checked.

Clamping
The profile is clamped at both cutting positions. During cutting, the position of the heads and the set length do not change.
Simultaneous cut
The rotating blades travel along their guides from behind the profile and through it. The profile, distance between the heads and selected cutting planes remain fixed during cutting.
Return
The blades return from the profile area, only then are the clamps released. The angles and feed method vary between versions.
