Sawing Systems for a Competitive Edge

To cut costs and increase profitability against stiff competition, fabrication shops and metal service centers continually search for ways to speed up their sawing operations and improve productivity. Here are some of the latest advances in sawing systems, automation and blade technologies that can help them cut parts quicker and more accurately, increase capacity and become very cost competitive.

AHP Merkle feeds stock into their fully automatic KASTOvariospeed C15 circular saw from a universal magazine that holds up to ten 3 m long rods. The saw operates simply and intuitively via a graphical user interface to cut solid materials, sections and tubing of difficult-to-machine materials up to 152 mm rounds, 155 mm x 120 mm flats, and 135 mm x 135 mm squares. Its high performance, frequency-controlled drive shortens cutting times while its ultra-thin carbide saw blades guarantee outstanding precision and low material waste.

Automated Sawing and Storage System Converts Bottleneck into Capacity
Hydraulic cylinder manufacturer AHP Merkle quadrupled their throughput by integrating a CNC circular sawing machine, tower storage system and robot-assisted sorting system from KASTO to shorten delivery times on a wide range of high quality cylinders.

Bandsaw Blade for Cutting High Nickel Alloys, Rene-Type Materials and Super Alloys
Part of a wide range of horizontal and vertical cutting systems for general purpose and production cutting applications from Bahco, the Wavy Bandsaw Blade is ideal for high productivity and improved accuracy in tough cutting applications.

Automatic Circular Cold Saw for Single Piece Cuts and Mass Production
The Eisele PSU-450M Automatic Miter Circular Cold Saw from Behringer Saws is very well suited to optimized cutting of solids, tubes, or any type of unique shapes.

Automatic Horizontal CNC Enclosed Band Saw for High Production Operations
The sturdy DC-620CNC Hercules II from DoALL provides versatile, efficient, economical and accurate sawing solutions for a large range of sawing needs.

Ultrafast Cutting of a Wide Range of Metals
The coating technology on the Armor VP band saw blade from LENOX protects the blade teeth from heat for extremely fast cutting rates and longer blade life needed by steel service centers and metal fabricators competing in aerospace, oil and gas, defense and other industries.

Engaging the Next Generation of Band Saw Users
To prepare for the next generation of sawing operations, Simonds Saw uses a loyalty program to uncover the skills their users wish to acquire, understand the ways they learn best, and better recognize what types of innovative products best serve their needs.

Effective Cutting of Structurals and Bundles
Using triple-tempered, high speed M-42 cobalt steel teeth with an alloy steel backing strip, the Versatix MP bi-metal band saw blade from Starrett dissipates stress during cutting for less tooth breakage, longer blade life and minimized pinching when cutting structurals and bundles.
