Cutting, Sawing & P rofiling Technology
The flying profile cutter RS600 is designed
as a self-contained unit that can easily be
integrated into all Schöler profile welding
and folding systems. In addition, open
mechanical and electronic interfaces
ensure a trouble-free integration
into production systems of external
manufacturers.
Highlights of the machine include freely
definable dip point of the blade by swivelling
the linear drive system by ±90°. A minimum
cutting length variation is possible by using
an in-house developed hardware/software
platform. In addition, there is automatic
adjustment of profile lengths by continuous
temperature compensation.
Inclusive of stable cutter blades and cutoff
dies, the machine can be retrofitted to
existing welding, folding or extruding system
(also external systems). Other features
include integrated diagnosis and analysis
functions, remote control via modem or
internet link, freely programmable outputs
for integrating further components, and
profile length adjustment at full production
speed.

Schöler Spezialmaschinenbau GmbH,
Germany, has launched the newly
developed RS600 flying profile cutter. This
new cutter combines the established Schöler
technologies of the high-frequency rotary
tube cutters RS100-RS300, with the RS400
flying vertical cutters, which provides for a
multitude of application options.
The RS600 can be utilized in a variety
of manufacturing operations where a
rectangular burr-free, cut edge is required
at an extremely high output rate. In order to
meet the requirements, a high-performance
cutting method has been developed, in
which the cutoff unit is synchronized to the
profile speed on a linear drive system.
Using a synchronized cutoff unit, the cut can
be executed by a rotating blade fitted onto the
cutoff unit. During this stage, the linear drive
system can be swivelled around the horizontal
centre of the profile. This
ensures easy determination
of the point at which the blade
dips into the profile, enabling
the optimal separation of
unsymmetrical profiles.
The heart of the RS600,
as for all Schöler cutters,
is an efficient hardware/
software platform. It
enables millisecond-precise
synchronization of the
acceleration processes for
the cutoff unit and cutter arm.
Only with the optimum
interaction of all components
can the excellent cutting length
variation be achieved.
also seen extensive development. In the
tube and pipe industry, many users are
now seeking a better way of sawing more
precisely and quickly in order to achieve
higher productivity.
From the context of the recent change
in the international industry, Tenryu has
encountered various new challenging
applications for circular sawing.
In each instance of R&D, the company has
accumulated the knowledge and experience
from each project.
In order to turn new ideas into actual
products, the company is always seeking
a better way to produce quality saw
blades. In order to maintain the quality of
the products, Tenryu has set an extremely
high standard for manufacturing and
quality control.
