Felder Preventative Contact System "PCS"
Serious accidents on panel saws are a thing of the past with the PCS - currently the fastest non-contact triggering safety system worldwide. PCS detects collisions prior to contact with the blade and using permanent electromagnets drops the blade below the table within milliseconds. PCS does not cause damage to the blade or machine and is ready to use again within seconds.
10.1" Smartouch x-motion Controller
Located at eye level and located on a pivoting arm the 10.1" touch screen is always located at a convenient position. Position control of rip fence, saw blade height and saw blade angle. USB and Network connection for importing of cutting lists as well as in-built functions for efficient and accurate processing of rabbets, grooves, notches, angle cuts, oblique cuts, false mitres, compound mitres, concealed V-neck, hip and valley rafters
