THE largest carbide circular sawing machine
that Linsinger has ever built has been
deployed in South Korea. The innovative
technology allows steel billets up to 800mm
diameter to be cut enabling customers to
benefit from a big rise in production efficiency.
The Austrian company Linsinger is
famous for solutions concerning sawing
technology even when difficult problems
occur, which other companies find a hard
nut to crack. The latest example is the
vertical circular saw KSA 2200 DPD, which
will be delivered to a ring-roller mill in South
Korea. The machine is able to process
round as angled and quadratic material and
with its saw blade diameter of 2,200mm it
is the biggest saw that Linsinger has ever
produced. Two revolutionary technologies
designed by Linsinger make it possible
to run a machine with saw blades of this
dimension for the first time ever.
The heart of the new high-power circular
sawing machine is the double power drive
(DPD). This is a special gear that can work
with extremely small flanges and transfer
highest moments of torsion.
“This patented system, which was entirely
designed in our own sawing centre of
excellence with a huge complexity, means
an innovation advance of several years,”
said Linsinger CEO Hans Knoll. DPD is the
archetype for a successful strategy of in
sourcing, which Linsinger has relied on for
many years – all evolution and manufacturing
steps are carried out in the company itself.
And due to the intense communication
between Linsinger and its worldwide
customers, they are always involved in the
constant innovation process.
Lincut boosts output performances and
lowers the costs. This is also true for the
development of the patented Lincut disc
millers, which are also used in the KSA
2200 DPD and designate a technological
breakthrough. During the process the
cutting tips are not brazed on the ground
body but screwed on it so that they
can be changed individually and easily,
which means directly on the machine.
The regular, logistically complex transport
to a re-sharpening centre is omitted.
Furthermore, the Lincut technology
increases the tool life considerably so that
the machine stops for the saw blade to be
changed are reduced.
The tool costs are lower than conven-
tional, brazed saw blades, nevertheless
Lincut can increase the output performance
by 30%. This has already clearly certified
true in the three shift operation over many
years of experiences.
“Lincut proves its worth already in 30
sawing plants with an excellent success
all over the world. From the first cuts till
the industrial use several years pass,”
emphasises Hans Knoll. Another huge
advantage: Linsinger delivers machines
and tools from one single source and is
therefore able to guarantee considerable
quality, which performs to an excellent
level over decades.
KSA 2200 DPD will be used in Korea
among others for the production of ship
crankshafts and gear rings for wind towers.
The “mega-saw” with its forward-looking
innovations is further proof that Linsinger
is taking great demands on all its products:
offering the best technology combined with
economical methods.
