SAW TECHNOLOGY
Programs can be efficiently changed from one job to the next. For customers acquiring batches of blades, the Loroch K850 delivers exceptional process repeatability and accuracy, guaranteeing grinding and tooth geometry accuracy. “The Loroch K850 Solution has been an exceptional asset for our business,” Ison said. “It has been such a success that we have now ordered another machine from Vollmer, a Loroch KSC710 grinding centre. The new addition was delivered in July and is a fully automatic CNC grinding centre with an automated handling system for sharpening, re- toothing and chamfering our metal cutting circular saw blades.
“Like the previous Loroch acquisition, we reviewed the marketplace and realised that there wasn’t anything else capable of meeting the productivity, accuracy or technical competence of Vollmer. The new machine is dedicated to automation with three saw blade stacks with a 230 mm height. Two stacks can accommodate up to 40 blades each of varying diameter, tooth geometry, pitch and bore. Despite this potential culmination of blades, the machine will automatically generate the correct program for each blade as and when it is required. This will allow us to stack a machine in the evening with a variety of new blades or re-grinds and have the finished products ready for delivery the next day. “Additionally, the new CNC acquisition will complete the blades with no requirement for secondary operations as it has a chip breaker grinding facility incorporated. This will further improve productivity, accuracy, repeatability and overall process control, giving our customers the benefit of continually receiving impeccable products.” IFI
