Shearing, cutting and sawing
HAVEN Manufacturing will be showing
at Tube Düsseldorf a variety of products
designed for shearing, cutting, sawing,
chamfering, trimming, parting, and de-
burring tube and bar finished parts,
as well as systems designed to aid
manufacturers in handling, inspecting
and processing those parts.
Although the company’s product
line is too broad to demonstrate all of
its material handling and processing
expertise in a single trade show, the
company hopes to give potential
customers an indication of its expertise.
Dave Erickson, president of Haven,
said: “We remain committed to our
traditional markets, but our partnership
with Soco Machinery, coupled with
our expertise in designing and
manufacturing systems for material
handling, appeals to manufacturers
beyond our traditional market
segments.
“Haven’s ability to adapt to a variety
of industries and applications combined
with our company’s capability to
design and build special one-of-a-kind
machines, gives Haven the ability to
help manufacturers that might not be
familiar with our products.”

Tru-Cut Saw nanocomposite
coated saw blades
TRU-CUT Saw has developed a new
nanocomposite PVD coating that
dramatically increases blade life in
circular ferrous and non-ferrous sawing
applications.
The new coating, called ViTA-Nano,
was developed by Tru-Cut’s ICO
surface coatings division. The coating
is a proprietary combination of titanium,
aluminium, aluminium-titanium, chrome
and silicon. Unlike multi-layer coatings
in which each material is deposited
consecutively, with ViTA-Nano, all
cathodes in the PVD chamber are
turned on at once – resulting in a more
cohesive, harder coating. Saw blades
coated with this material will run a
minimum of 30 to 50 per cent faster with
less scrap and increased production
rates compared to AlTiN coatings.
Richard Otter, VP sales for Tru-Cut
Saw and ICO surface coatings, said:
“ViTA-Nano blades are ideal for flying
saw machines, re-cut machines and
high production sawing machines.
Users will see immediate cost benefits
in longer blade life when
sawing with the ViTA-
Nano coating.”
ViTA-Nano blades
are claimed to be much
better than AlTiN for
sawing hardened steels,
cast iron, aluminium and
super alloys. The blades
withstand 33 per cent
greater temperatures
and last longer because
blade edges are
protected from steel
build-up (which reduces
tool life) for a longer
period of time. Tru-
Cut recommends dry
cutting with ViTA-Nano
blades to further reduce
coolant costs.
Tru-Cut Saw manufactures saw
blades for all types of cutting applications
from simple hand cut-off machines to
high production flying cut-off machines.
Blades are designed for all sawing
applications in ferrous and non-ferrous
materials.
Sizes range from 200mm to over 3m.
Tru-Cut is the only US saw manufacturer
with its own in-house PVD coating
chambers.
The company also sells the Tru-Cut
16" (400mm) dry cut metal saw designed
for cutting tubular, solid, angled and
other shapes.
Tru-Cut Saw’s ICO surface coatings
division offers PVD coating and re-
coating services for all types of new
and used saw blades, tools and wear
parts. Equipped with two state-of-the-art
coating chambers and carousels, Tru-
Cut and ICO offers both standard and
special surface treatments.
Standard coatings are: CrN, TiN,
TiCN, AlTiN-ML, AlTiN-XL, AlTiCrN and
TiAlCN Phoenix™. Special and tool-
specific coatings can be individually
tailored to specific customer require-
ments. Coating chambers can handle
part sizes up to 1,250mm OD x 700mm.
