Sawing and cutting machine solutions ASMAG offers a wide range of machine concepts in the area of saws and cutters. The company’s high-performance metal circular saws are used for sawing of pre-material, semi-finished products and finished products. Their robust structure ensures vibration-free machine operation, even when sawing large material. This leads to optimum cutting results and long saw blade service life. One of the latest innovations in this area is a sawing line for brass billets. The sawing machine is arranged in-line with an extrusion press for brass tubes. Asmag delivered this fully automatic sawing line with handling system for brass billets to a well-known European brass producer. The length of the incoming material is 2.8 to 3.2m and the diameter of the billets is up to 320mm. At the end of the charging unit, the billets are automatically separated into the saw entry roller table. Before sawing, the billets

are measured and the optimum dividing length is calculated by the control system. The sawn billets, with a length of 280 to 900mm, are weighed by the weighing system, and are lifted by means of a manipulator into a storage system with a capacity up to 400 billets. The inclusion of an integrated material tracking system allows billets to be selected by alloy and weight on demand

from the billet stock. Benefits of the machine include fully automatic operation of the entire sawing line; high cutting performance and vibration free-operation; and ergonomic plant design and efficient

flow of material. Asmag – Austria
