Flying cold saw installed THERMATOOL Corp has announced the installation of a CS-090 flying cold saw with supplementary material handling equipment for Jaytec, LLC. of cutting a wide range of materials from 0.5" to 4" OD product and up to 0.25" wall thickness.

repeatable blade motion to improve cut quality and reduce cut time. The precision offered by the CS-090 cold saw helps Jaytec meet the stringent cut quality and length specifications of the automotive industry. The rugged one-piece base of the CS-090 cold saw was designed for stability, quick and easy installation, and possesses a sloped bed for convenient mill coolant and chip collection. To complement the saw, Jaytec purchased a compact pinch roll table to aid with the material handling process and to consistently feed the pneumatic double dump table.

This CS-090 cold saw was custom built for Jaytec to fit the company’s needs of cutting up to 4" OD 115ksi UTS carbon steel and stainless steel tube at competitive speeds, adding more versatility to its mill. The Jaytec CS-090 cold saw is capable of cutting 20ft lengths at 270ft/min, and 40ft lengths at 350ft/min. It is equipped with hydraulic clamping to ensure proper tube support, reducing vibration, and preventing blade drag and pinching, which results in longer blade life and lower operational costs. Like other Thermatool flying saws, Jaytec’s CS-090 has programmable feed rates to control the tooth load and plunge speeds, resulting in greater cut quality, precision, and increased blade life. The CS-090 blade, powered by a 40HP servo blade motor, is driven through the product via a servo controlled ball screw for accurate and
