Cutting, Sawing & P rofiling T echnology
Kjellberg Finsterwalde, Germany, is a
specialist in plasma cutting technology and
high efficiency arc welding methods. The
company’s HiFocus 440i system offers
high cutting precision across a full range of
material thickness from 1-100mm.
The new PerCut 450M plasma torch
completes the system’s process flexibility.
This is the latest swirl-gas plasma torch
within the HiFocus series and gives up to
15 per cent reduced dimensions, weight
reduction and enhanced performance.
The new BWE plasma-head change
unit is designed to increase automation
levels.
By integrating the ignition boxes for the
HiFocus 130 and HiFocus 160i into the
PBA-160 plasma torch connection unit, the units are more compact. In addition to the
increase of ignition reliability, investment
costs are reduced.
This logical step was taken after the
successful experiences with the more
powerful HiFocus units, which were
previously furnished with similar combined
plasma torch connection units.
Now available for the YellowXLife
consumable system is the Cathode T012Y.
Constructed for oxygen cutting, the cathode
is suitable for up to 360A cutting current.
YellowXLife represents a significant
extended lifetime for nozzles and cathodes.
In the field of arc welding engineering,
Kjellberg Finsterwalde’s KA-series
welding tractors are the basis for various
customised solutions. A cross-slide for
positioning the welding head ensures high
stiffness for rugged industrial applications.
The company’s range of equipment for
high performance welding technologies is
enhanced by strip cladding. Especially for
submerged arc welding and electro slag
welding, high melting down rates and cost
reductions can be obtained.

Latest flying shear cutoff
Olimpia 80 Srl, Italy, has designed and patented new flying shear cutoff equipment for
inline cutting of high speed welded tubes. Tube cutting is operated by means of two
tools that are hydraulically operated and controlled by the latest electronic methods.
The whole process is controlled by one
hydraulic cylinder, which guarantees the
perfect synchronization of the cutting
cycle and provides optimum conditions
for the cutting time. In addition, the use of
hydraulic systems ensures easy machine
operation and reduction of maintenance
time and costs.
The movement of the cutting carriage
is electronically controlled to guarantee
the automatic adaptability to the tube
speed. In addition, an inclination system
allows the automatic tool centring on the
tube angle for instances of square and
rectangular profile production.
This equipment is offered in two different models covering ranges from 15mm to 76mm
OD and from 30mm to 114mm OD, with wall thicknesses from 0.8mm to 3.5mm. The
new flying shear cutoff can reach line speeds of up to 180m/min.
