Advances in Cutting, Sawing & Sawblades
120 S eptember 2009 ›
RED Bull Technology, which manufactures
Formula 1 motor sport cars for Red Bull
Racing, has replaced its existing flat-bed
knife cutter with two Zund knife cutters,
one with a conveyor bed.
Red Bull Technology claims it has seen
an increase in throughput on the machine
due to features such as common-line
cutting, which allow plies to be separated
with a single cut rather than leaving
a skeleton.
The company added that, since being
installed, the system has proven to be
very reliable and it had experienced no
down time because of either machine or
software-related problems. It also claims
maintenance costs are lower than before.
Andy Bosworth, Red Bull Technology
production coordinator, said: “JETCAM had
the lowest scrap rate and highest efficiency,
with nests 16% more efficient and it was also
recommended by the machine tool vendor.”

Fully automatic
roller feed saw
Scotchman Industries, USA, has developed
the CPO 315 roller feed automatic cold saw,
which it says is a fully automatic cold saw
that provides uninterrupted cutting.
The saw suits high volume and long length
applications. It comes equipped with either
a supply table or a full bundle loading
attachment. Either system allows the saw to
automatically load, trim, cut and sort lengths
up to 120" (60" is standard) and hold ±0.006"
lengths of material up to 3" in diameter.
With optional equipment the user can also
feed directly into a de-burring machine
or form jaws that can handle thin wall
applications without distortion. The CPO
315 RFA saws are available in ferrous and
non-ferrous models.
