RSA wins innovation award in separation
technology category
RSA cutting systems GmbH has won
the MM Award 2016 in the ‘separation
technology’ category, with the layer saw
Rasacut LS 150, which was introduced
in April 2016.
The award, which recognises
innovations in metal processing that
benefit users, the environment and
society, was presented to RSAmanaging
director Thomas Berg and development
manager Stephan Feldhoff during a
ceremony at the AMB international
exhibition for metal processing in
Stuttgart, Germany.
RSA produces cold circular saws, de-
burring systems, industrial brushes and
saw blades for the global market. The
products are used in the automotive
and furniture industry as well as in the
steel trade.
By using newly developed servo
clamping, the layer saw Rasacut LS 150
can saw especially thin-walled tubes,
tubes with a difficult ratio between
diameter and wall thickness, and tubes
with a stability higher than 1,200N/mm²
in single, double and triple cut. It can
replace three cold circular saws or four
band saws.
It can produce workpieces that
previously required complex laser
processing, and after sawing production
steps like de-burring, chamfering,
checking, washing, drying and unloading
can be executed.
