The MCL 120 IMS automatic cutting
centre can be integrated with end-
deburring operations, washing and drying
system, dimensional control system,
and collection units by adding standard
accessories.

can operate with 38-287rpm. The automatic
programmable bar stop ensures precision,
even when quickly changing cutting
measures.
A patented discharge system allows fast
unloading of cut pieces and maintains the
correct position of the material after the cut.
This makes it easier to attach the machine
to other working units.
Pedrazzoli’s IMS control (intelligent motion
system) allows the feeding speed, thrust
Pedrazzoli IBP SpA, Italy, manufactures
the MCL 120 IMS automatic cutting line,
capable of cutting round tubes with different
sections up to a diameter of 120mm.
Featuring a high speed cutting cycle and
sturdy construction, the line is suitable
for cutting large thickness tube and high-
resistance materials.
The automatic loader can bear more than 4
tons and has a fast movement speed. The
MCL 120 IMS can fit blades from 140mm
to 370mm diameter, and the cutting speed
MFL claims to be the only manufacturer
that produces layer-sawing machines up to
this large layer width of 1.5m. Thereby, MFL
offers completely new technology for rolling
mills by cutting big profiles with carbide
tipped saw blades.
A complete sawing machine includes
auxiliary equipment in the inlet and
outlet stand-alone sawing machine. In
addition, when compared to conventional
friction saws, there are a number of
advantages to the new technology for
cutting structural steel with carbide
tipped saw blades.
Qualitative advantages of the final
product include a smooth cutting surface,
which is almost burr free. In addition,
there is the benefit of a 100 per cent
rectangular cut in horizontal and vertical
direction.
Operational advantages include a noise
level of less than 92dbA, no dirt and
spark pollution during operation, and an
increase of lifetime to a minimum of 150
to 200 per cent.

Maschinenfabrik Liezen und Gießerei GmbH
(MFL), Austria, is a leading manufacturer of
high power cold circular sawing plants. The
sawing plants are designed for cutting of
construction and stainless steel, ferrous and
non-ferrous material in the form of billets,
tubes, profiles and plates.
These custom-made solutions are used for
specific applications such as tube or profile
layers, billets or plate sawing plants. Billets
and tubes up to 800mm in diameter can be
cut by the company’s billet and single tube
sawing machines.
Each of these machines utilises carbide
tipped saw blades, which guarantee an
accurate and high capacity by lower
cost and long tool life.
MFL has developed a layer sawing
machine with a layer width of 1.5m
that can be used for cutting tubes,
I- and U-beams, sheet pilings, angles
and profiles. This special sawing
machine (type HKA 2200 L160) has
been installed at a Chinese company
that produces construction steel
profiles.
The MFL sawing machine is used for
the cutting of several profiles in one
layer to the required exact length. This
sawing machine is equipped with an
installed driving power of 160kW and a
saw blade diameter of 2,200mm. The
fully automatic sawing machine was
supplied and installed in 2007.
