ASMAG offers a wide range of machine
concepts in the area of saws and cutters.
The company’s high-performance metal
circular saws are used for sawing of
pre-material, semi-finished products and
finished products. Their robust structure
ensures vibration-free machine operation,
even when sawing large material. This
leads to optimum cutting results and long
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. Asmag delivered this
fully automatic sawing line with handling
system for brass billets to a well-known
European brass producer. The length of the
incoming material is 2.8 to 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.
The sawn billets, with a length of 280
to 900mm, are weighed by the weighing
system, and are lifted by means of a
manipulator into a 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. Benefits of the
machine include fully automatic operation
of the entire sawing line; high cutting
performance and vibration free-operation;
and ergonomic plant design and efficient
flow of material.
