dimension that can be cut with MFL sawing machines is 720mm. The company also manufactures sawing machines for cutting aluminium plates. Other new developments include a layer sawing machine with a layer width of 1.5m, used for cutting tubes, I- and U-beams, sheet pilings and angles. A steel slab (plate) sawing machine is also available. For manufacturers of railway rails, the company produces combined rail sawing and drilling machines. This kind of machine cuts and simultaneously drills a hole into the rail, ensuring short cycle times for the cutting and drilling process. Another application for MFL sawing machines is the cutting of coupons, tensile and other samples for quality control. MFL also supplies for the chip removal process and delivers turnkey plants and single machines for the modernisation or increased performance of tube production.
