SPECIAL PIPEFITTINGS MAWO PIPEFITTINGS

SCOTCHMAN Industries has introduced a new laser saw guide for circular cold saws. The industrial grade laser light minimises set-up time and ensures the material is being sawed to the correct length and squareness, by helping the operator see the line marked for cutting. The guide simplifies lining up and cutting to the desired length, and can increase productivity and operator efficiency. Scotchman also produces the Advanced Feed System, designed to allow companies to increase productivity, decrease set-up time, reduce operator error and eliminate waste. The system, coupled with a Scotchman circular cold saw, turns a semi- automatic machine into a fully automatic production machine.

Operators can either manually enter dimensions into the controller or pull a cut list directly from the controller. Powered by TigerStop, the programmable controller stores up to 99 programs. Another option is to download cut list information directly from a PC, which can speed up production and reduces the chance of operator error. The Scotchman Advanced Feed System can be used as a programmable stop system or a fully automatic programmable push feed system with an optional material clamp.
