Alpine® Linear Saw 5.0
Building on reliability and accuracy, the latest version of the linear saw is engineered to meet the demands of today’s component manufacturers. The Alpine® Linear Saw 5.0 (ALS 5.0) offers the potential for significant increases in production throughput with overall speed enhancements and optimized workflows. The cutting workflow puts the sawyer in control with an optional automatic double-stacking of identical components as well as a synchronized infeed/outfeed motion, maximizing lumber throughput while reducing waste.
Standard Footprint: 42’– 8” x 12’–10” (W x L)

The ALS 5.0 small parts handler eliminates the need for manual sorting, transferring small components directly to the outfeed conveyor. Small parts and truss components exit the saw to a common point, optimizing stacking efficiency for the sawyer and improving overall ergonomics.
Equipped with a high-resolution printing system, the Alpine Linear Saw marks the lumber, allowing for easy sorting and quick piece identification.
Maintain a steady supply of lumber to the saw with the synchronized infeed/outfeed system. The constant lumber feeding system reduces pauses between boards entering the saw cabinet, allowing for a continuous cutting state.
The innovative print label shifting system allows for user-defined print alignment for printing on the center or end of lumber. Printing dynamically shifts for small parts, scaling the size of the label on the board to fit the needs of the sawyer.
Get better optimization, set up nesting of components, automatic double stacking or like parts, and speed enhancements with the new ALS 5.0 software. The software is redesigned to offer the user an unmatched experience.
The ALS 5.0 ensures all boards are the correct length before entering the saw, eliminating incorrect cuts and sizing errors.
Customizable saw configuration designed to fit any plant layout.
The 8′ infeed continuously feeds lumber into the saw, ensuring minimization of downtime and increasing productivity, allowing for the stacking of 26 2’×4′ boards.
The updated user interface is designed for an easy and quick to learn user experience.
