Looking for an easy way to begin adding metal fabrication automation to your business? Start with your measuring process. Scotchman has teamed up with RazorGage technology to bring you the Scotchman Digital Quick Stop Measuring System.  

This American-made measuring system is our most basic programmable metal automation tool. The digital quick stop measuring system moves the stopper to whatever length you enter in the touch screen controller, and can be paired with almost any type of machinery.

Take Automation to the Next Level

Have a semi-automatic cold saw? Take it to the next level by coupling it with a Scotchman pusher/feeder system, allowing you to completely automate your cold saw’s cutting process, while still having the ability to make manual cuts if desired

Why go fully automatic? Flexibility, efficiency, and accuracy are top reasons to go automatic. Going fully automatic can also improve safety conditions for operators because they are able to keep a safe distance away from the sawing operation.
