High volume circular saw cuts 70mm bar under 15s
High volume, straight cutting circular sawing system performs rapid, accurate cutting, a full cutting cycle for example, is less than 15 seconds for a 70mm diameter bar.
Extra-wide hydraulic jaws grip wide stock, bundles
Fitted with an extra-wide, 500mm travel, hydraulically operated variable pressure jaw straight cutting bandsaws readily cut wide material or multiples of smaller material.
A multi-functional, fully integrated single option, it enables automatic setting of cut accuracy levels, according to customer demand.
Manual override is also readily achieved.
* Sawing/drilling system - a KBS750DG/KDS615 sawing/multi-axis drilling, close-coupled system will be demonstrated, with the latest, unique to Kaltenbach, 'solid-carbide' drills.
Solid-carbide cuts five times faster than HSS (high speed steel) and three times faster than TCT.
It also enables re sharpening; achieving greatly reduced cost-per-cut, said Kaltenbach.
Also, included is the new 'Contour Marking', pneumatically driven system, for inscribing profiles for fitting, or processing, or alpha/numeric details onto structural steel materials.
* World's fastest bandsaw - the HBM440 ALU model is claimed by Kaltenbach to be the world's fastest bandsaw for automatic straight cutting of non-ferrous materials.
Also demonstrated will be a mix of Behringer straight and mitre cutting bandsaws.
* Punch and shear line - the KPS506 Punch and Shear Line is for fast efficient strip-fed plate processing, plus drilling and plasma-arc cutting options.
* handling of fabrications - the Swiss Stierli Bierger Rotator is a handling system to ease the handling, welding and processing, etc, of fabricated structural materials.
* Circular blade, precision saws - Kaltenbach will demonstate its market leading KKS and SKL upstroking saws for ferrous and ferrous metals.
* Kaltenbach at MACH 2008, NEC, Birmingham, UK, April 21-25, Hall 4, Stand 4750.
