Tube layer sawing machines LINSINGER, Austria, says that its tube layer sawing machines are the principle success story in leading seamless tube mills for rapid and clean cut tube layers. The robust Linsinger machines operate at high speed, continuously and reliably under the harshest conditions, providing high output productivity.

Working conditions in seamless tube mills are not known as particularly friendly environments for man and machine. These especially rough conditions can be found just after the cooling bed near the steel mill. Every minute and for 24 hours per day, the rolled tubes are transported onto the cooling bed for tube end processing. Tube layers are formed to cut several tubes to length or to remove the drop ends. Linsinger’s sawing system for cutting tube layers in three-shift-operation uses the latest, vibration-free technology. Crack-free and practically burr-free cutting is possible, with no hardening or thermal influence, and the emission-free cutting process produces

tooling from a single source. The company also provides turnkey saw blade repair shops and operator training.

cutting chips that can be easily reprocessed. Tubes with material tensile strength up to 1,400N/mm² can be cut, and the frictionless machine design without drive belts ensures tight tolerances.
