Saw technology from framag
FOR framag, a saw manufacturer from
Frankenburg, Austria, the requirements
of ThyssenKrupp Rothe Erde GmbH
were clear: an old sawing system had to
be replaced and the new saw needed to
be integrated in the existing production
line. The goal was to achieve a high level
of process reliability and a good cutting
result on quenched and tempered
steels (eg 42CrMo4) and construction
steels.
Using state-of-the-art technology,
framag engineered a KKS 1600 cold
circular saw that cuts round materials
with a diameter up to 600mm and a
length of 6,000 to 10,000mm precisely
and reliably (out-of-roundness up to
1.5 per cent). A special three-point
clamping device, combined with a table
height adjustment system, supports the
material during cutting.
The newly developed hydraulic saw
blade damping patented by framag
improves the smooth running of the
saw blade, which also has a positive
effect on the blade’s service life. The
cut becomes more even overall, with a
minimal cut gap.
“framag is a competent partner. The
communication in the project phase was
very good and all our requirements were
met to our complete satisfaction,” said
H Tschich (Dr Ing) from ThyssenKrupp
Rothe Erde.
“The installation and commissioning
were also carried out extremely
professionally. The agreed acceptance
criteria were met without any problems.”
