Sawing large billets with the KSS 1600 THE only manufacturer of railway wheels in the Ukraine has followed the worldwide trend in sawing large billets and has purchased the type KSS 1600 inclined bed saw from Linsinger. This year a machine fully equipped with a material handling system was supplied to the customer. The total weight of the system designed for a hard three-shift operation is 115 tons. are aligned to the machine when it is commissioned on its premises. Tedious tests after commissioning on the customer’s premises are therefore not required and production can start running with the agreed performance in the shortest time.

and help to significantly reduce the ongoing operating costs. This means, for example, that the costs per cut for a diameter of 450mm are just €2 (tool costs only). An added benefit is that the procurement and operating costs of a sharpening centre are avoided. Three years of practical experience with the LINCUT ® side milling cutter confirm Linsinger’s path of success. More than 40 Linsinger sawing systems with LINCUT ® are now in operation.

The development of new tool technologies is also a big concern for Linsinger. The development of the LINCUT ® disc miller with screw connected carbide inserts sounded a new era in sawing. The panels achieve a longer lifetime thanks to their coating and they are easy to replace

The concept of this globally unique inclined bed saw is based on integrating the advantages of horizontal and vertical sawing machines. The benefits quickly become clear when sawing large diameters – the sturdy, 3-point workpiece tension and the extremely quiet and vibration-free run of the saw guarantee a long tool service life. Eleven inclined bed saws are already in use in Russia and the CIS states. Railway wheel manufacturers such as Vyksa Steel Works, NTMK Nizhny Tagil and NTRP Dnepropetrovsk are some of Linsinger’s customers. The orders allocated for wheel saws in the past years throughout the world were awarded to Linsinger, which is a confirmation of its further development. The ongoing costs for tools, calculated over the service life of the machine, make up several times the procurement costs of the machine. A lot of money can be saved in this area, but it can also be wiped out as well. Linsinger offers tools manufactured at its company so that customers are spared any nasty surprises. These
