Advances in Cutting, Sawing & Sawblades
112 S eptember 2009 ›
ASMAG, Austria, offers a wide range of
machine concepts in the area of saws and
cutters.
Its metal circular saws are used for sawing
of pre-material, semi-finished products and
finished products.
The robust structure guarantees vibration
free machine operation, even when sawing
large material. This leads to more accurate
cutting results and extended saw blade
service life.
One of the latest innovations in this area is
a sawing line for brass billets. The sawing
machine is arranged in-line with an extrusion
press for brass tubes. The length of the
incoming material is 2.8–3.2m and the
diameter of the billets is up to 320mm.
At the end of the charging unit, the billets are
automatically separated into the saw entry
roller table. Before sawing, the billets are
measured and the optimum dividing length is
calculated by the control system.
High cutting performances and vibration-free
operation of the machine are guaranteed due
to the rigid, robust design. The sawn billets
with a length of 280–900mm are weighed
by the weighing system and are then lifted
by means of a manipulator into the storage
system with a capacity up to 400 billets.
The inclusion of an integrated material
tracking system allows billets to be selected
by alloy and weight on demand from the
billet stock.
The company claims that the essential
benefits of the machine include: fully
automatic operation of the entire sawing
line; highest cutting performance and
vibration free operation due to robust
design; ergonomic plant design; and
efficient flow of material.
