E235. For a fixed length of 150mm the output of the saw adds up
to 4,014 pieces per hour.
Forward feed and drive of the saw is effected through servomotors.
The saw blade diameters are between 175 and 200mm, and
depending on the material, HSS, carbide or solid-carbide saw
blades can be used. The specific tuning of the teeth profiles with
the material and workpiece characteristics of the parts to be cut is
done by RSA.
The use of saw blades with small diameter and high speed reduces
cutting times. To cover the whole spectrum of workpieces with saw
blades of this diameter range, tubes are centrally clamped, and not
on a support.
