At Winton Homes, our commitment to excellence drives us to continually enhance our products and services, ensuring our customers receive the best possible experience.
In our latest stride towards innovation, Winton Homes has invested in state-of-the-art technology by acquiring the Ranger Universal system and the Matchpoint Blade 2 linear saw. This strategic acquisition positions Winton Homes as the only company in Canada using both pieces of advanced machinery, underscoring our dedication to leading the industry with cutting-edge solutions. Here's why this should excite you as a contractor, owner builder, or prefab home buyer.
Ranger Universal System: Redefining Efficiency and Safety
The Ranger Universal system revolutionizes the way we handle lumber. Here are its key features:
- Automated Lumber Loading: The system picks up lumber and loads it into the saw infeed, eliminating much of the manual labor involved in loading lumber onto the live deck. This automation reduces the physical strain on workers and increases overall efficiency.
- Versatile Cutting Capabilities: Equipped with a compound head, the saw can cut floor webs for our 4x2 floor systems and stringers for stairs. This versatility enhances our ability to meet diverse construction needs.
- Enhanced Safety Features: Both the Ranger Universal system and the Blade 2 saw include advanced safety features, ensuring a safer working environment for our team.
- Increased Productivity and Accuracy: The system significantly boosts productivity and cut accuracy, ensuring that each piece of lumber is perfectly cut to meet our high standards.
- Edge Printing System: This feature helps builders identify lumber on the cart and allows contractors and inspectors to easily identify trusses once they are stood in place, streamlining the building process.
Matchpoint Blade 2: Precision and Innovation
The Matchpoint Blade 2 linear saw is a state-of-the-art piece of machinery that enhances our production capabilities. Here are its standout features:
- Standalone or Integrated Operation: The Blade 2 can work independently or as part of the seamlessly integrated MatchPoint® DirectDrive™ system, offering flexibility in its application.
- Optimized Board Selection: When paired with automation software, the saw selects optimal boards for cuts, ensuring the best use of materials and reducing waste.
- Advanced Cutting Chamber: The cutting chamber is designed to reduce dust and increase safety, creating a cleaner and safer work environment.
- Superior AGS Printing: This feature improves assembly throughput and quality, ensuring each piece fits perfectly during construction.
- BoardStretcher Technology: This innovative feature increases material utilization in each board, making our processes more sustainable and cost-effective.
- Adjustable Features: With adjustable stroke, angle elevation, and bevel, the saw can handle a variety of cutting needs, ensuring precision and versatility.
- Reduced Manual Handling: The saw reduces the need for manual material handling, minimizing the risk of injury and improving efficiency.
- Grip for Crooked Lumber: The saw adjusts for crooked lumber, keeping it “in grip” and ensuring consistent quality cuts.

- Higher Quality Products: With enhanced precision and efficiency, the quality of our prefabricated homes and components is second to none.
