New generation belt sander

New sawing machine FRAMAG has successfully installed and commissioned a KKS 800 billet sawing machine at Stahl Judenburg, Austria. The state-of-the-art sawing machine is designed to cut rectangle billets up to 200 x 150mm and square billets 80-165mm with maximum length of 1,500-4,500mm per work piece. First the material for perfect cut is positioned on the chain conveyor where a laser length measuring device is installed for measuring and minimising of scrap. The cut frequency of maximum 90 pieces per hour is exactly co-ordinated with the further processing steps within the production line. The sawing machine KKS 800 is also equipped with a chip conveyor, a scrap removal unit and a run out roller table as well as a lock-out unit. Good cut quality results from the technical combination of sawing column made of Hydropol ® , extreme torsion-stiff and robust sawing gear box as well as stable and vibration-free clamping devices. The combination of these three critical factors reduces vibrations caused by the sawing process. The sawing machine is easy to operate and maintain.

abrasive belt is only possible inside the actual work zone. The rest of the belt is covered to protect against any accidental direct contact. Often, when they are in use such belts have the unfortunate characteristic that they draw dust with them as they return after sanding and then release this into the surrounding area via the transmission rollers. This problem has been eliminated thanks to the virtually complete protection of the abrasive belt. Suhner Italia Srl – Italy Fax +39 03522 5965

SUHNER, Italy, has unveiled a new belt sander for pipes called the UTG 9-R, which it says is compact, strong and easy to handle. Its drive power is 1,000 watt and it can be perfectly transmitted to the abrasive belt and the boosted drive and the higher overall speed of the belt (6-13 ms -1 ) means a better performance. The UTG 9-R can be wrapped around the pipes thanks to the adjustable tilting contact roller. Max 220° contact without the risk of overheating or loss of heat in the case of thin- walled pipes. The UTG 9-R can be used on pipes ranging in diameter from 20 to 70mm. This new product is designed and built to guarantee safety as access to the open EXEL Orbital Products has announced a new 150amp compact orbital welding power supply.
