Automated storage
solutions
COSTRUZIONI Meccaniche Scortegagna has introduced the
Rusch MAG-B system for the automated storage of tubes and
metal bars, consisting of shelf units structured in towers. In each
tower there are drawers where the goods can be stored. A lift
with forks controlled by CNC unit automatically takes the selected
drawer and moves it to the ground, where a system (shuttle or
motorised slide) takes the drawer out, so that the operator can
load or unload the goods.
The modularity of the bar storage system allows more towers
and sawing machines to be added, making it possible to create
a complete automatic cutting centre. Loaders, infeed and outfeed
roller tables, bandsaw machines for straight and mitre cutting, and
unloading systems for the cut pieces can be assembled.
The company also has a range of blades, starting from
standard models for general purpose, recommended for small
manual and semi-automatic sawing machines for hard jobs, for
stainless steels, mould steels and other difficult materials, to
specialised blades for high performing sawing machines, with
ground teeth, in order to dampen the vibrations and increase the
performance. Carbide tipped blades provide high performance on
hardened steels, stainless steels, mould steels and other difficult
materials.
