Automated storage solutions COSTRUZIONI Meccaniche Scortegagna has introduced the Rusch MAG-B system for the automated storage of tubes and metal bars, consisting of shelf units structured in towers. In each tower there are drawers where the goods can be stored. A lift with forks controlled by CNC unit automatically takes the selected drawer and moves it to the ground, where a system (shuttle or motorised slide) takes the drawer out, so that the operator can load or unload the goods. The modularity of the bar storage system allows more towers and sawing machines to be added, making it possible to create a complete automatic cutting centre. Loaders, infeed and outfeed roller tables, bandsaw machines for straight and mitre cutting, and unloading systems for the cut pieces can be assembled. The company also has a range of blades, starting from standard models for general purpose, recommended for small manual and semi-automatic sawing machines for hard jobs, for stainless steels, mould steels and other difficult materials, to specialised blades for high performing sawing machines, with ground teeth, in order to dampen the vibrations and increase the performance. Carbide tipped blades provide high performance on hardened steels, stainless steels, mould steels and other difficult materials. Costruzioni Meccaniche Scortegagna Srl – Italy
