can depend on an optimal adaptation to the manufacturing process and the simplification of other processes. RSA has already developed six series of sawing machines for different requirements, with more to follow. One of RSA’s recent customers has purchased a Rasacut OC fully automatic sawing centre to replace the semi-automatic time-consuming production of interrupted perforated tubes. Rasacut OC cuts the tubes, with prior measurement and control of the correct hole spacing for the perforation in the

tubes. The machine cuts out and ejects sections with faulty spacing. The integrated automatic deburring, cleaning and drying of the cut fixed lengths also leads to lower process costs. Another of RSA’s customers has found a standard series Rasacut SC to considerably reduce set-up times, resulting in cost savings across three-shift operation. The multicut saw Rasacut MC, being developed for component suppliers to the automotive industry, cuts 5,000+ pieces per hour. It also achieves further integrated actions such as deburring, measuring, cleaning, stacking and packing, without a reduction of the high output of the saw. The volume cut saw of the same type series even makes possible yields of up to 8,000 pieces per hour, if additional further processing steps are omitted. RSA has met the demand of a scaffolding manufacturer for a precise cut and a high output of tubes up to a length of 4,500mm with a saw line which automatically singles bundle lengths of 13,000mm. It cuts them fast and precisely, and simultaneously

deburs the inner and outer edges at both tube ends. For tubes and solid bars up to 170mm diameter – previously a domain of band saws – RSA has developed the new circular saw Rasacut XXL. Those who have already been using the Rasacut XXL during recent months confirm that, depending on the workpiece, the cutting time is up to 90 per cent below that of up-to-date band saws. Added to this is an improved cut quality with regard to perpendicularity and surface roughness. Website : www.rsa.de › Circular saw for tubes and solid bars up to 170mm diameter
