PRODUCTS & EQUIPMENT New circular saw from Kasto
or medium - to large-batch and mass production cutting-to-length of solids, materials, German sawing machine manufacturer, Kasto, has introduced a new, automatic circular saw called
F
for continuous stock infeed and with various outfeed options, including sorting of cut pieces.
The high performance machine is designed to process materials up to a tensile strength of 1,400 N/mm². Tungsten carbide tipped saw blades of 360 mm diameter and either 2.5 or 2 mm thick minimise the kerf and hence the amount of metal lost as swarf. For some materials, coated or cermet blades are used. All such blades have the additional advantage that thin or thin-walled materials can be cut
expanding the range of applications for which the Kastogripspeed C10 is suitable.
Particularly helpful is workpiece clamping with a force of 2 to 12.5 kN for safely securing thin-walled tubes and
is from 15 to 100mm diameter for rounds or up to 80mm for square stock. The smallest cut-piece length is 8 mm, while remnant length is only 65 mm. Material feed stroke is 500 mm, or up to 9,999 mm with multiple feed.
Continuous feeding of bars from an inclined magazine into the
Saw drive power is high at 11 kW of material. Infeed speed ranges from 10 to 4,000 mm/min and is for blade speed, which is adjustable from 17 to 175 m/min. Contributing to short idle time is 10 m/min rapid lift of the saw blade at the end of each cutting cycle. To maximise productivity, continuous material infeed and outfeed is needed. conveyors and inclined magazines for bar lengths up to 12 metres. As
The automatic, high performance
an alternative to inclined magazines, loaders are available for bundles up to a maximum of 5 tonnes. There or for fully automatic processing of cutting orders of small to medium batch sizes. Several possibilities are available for the outfeed side, including conveyors and various types of automated sorting systems.

A ‘Lean Machine’ from ET Automation
CTechnologies Automation showcased a ‘Lean Machine - robotically integrated bending solution’ (LM-RIBS) cell at the earlier in November this year. “Press brakes are a widely used machine with most fabricators having at least one, and many users have 20 or more. Unfortunately, North American based fabricators have not kept pace with their competitors in Europe, and other areas of the world, by using industrial robots to automate the press brake forming process. ET Automation’s

LM – LM-RIBS cell eliminates the excuses many North American fabricators have posed in the past, allowing them to reduce their piece part cost, and, increase their throughput by using LM-RIBS,” says John Burg, Ellison Technologies Automation President.
The company provides the advanced LM RIBS cell for all fabricators across North America, Using innovation coupled with programming software, their engineers are able to integrate small lot sizes driven by high
product mix, for a user-friendly RIBS. If a fabricator has a hydraulic or electric servo driven press brake ETA’s LM – RIBS is one of brings a robot to an existing press brake, the LM RIBS cell increases productivity by reducing part cost for low and high volume applications.
For over 30 years, Ellison
Technologies Automation has been a leader in industrial robotic system integration. ET Automation meets the needs of its customers by developing
