Modern Sawing Technology - for increasing productivity, quality and profitability

Today's high production process demands large batch sizes for scale of economy in production. That means improved cutting time. Modern high production machines are the solution for this. To match the improved cutting time, matching logistics are required to make the total cycle time under control. Different levels of automation are the solution for this.

To save on material consumption and cost of production, wastage of material by chips should be of minimum width. To reduce further machining time, the flatness of the cut surface should be the best possible. Positioning accuracy in automation and cutting thus become very important. It is possible to minimise cost per cut by prolonging the cutting tool life. But in order to do this, the latest in material and process engineering is what is needed. Consortech Tools (India) Ltd has introduced the latest technology in "metal sawing". Consider the following productivity examples:

A: Work Piece - 170 mm diameter solid carbon steel

1. The cutting time of 26.6 seconds
2. Total cycle time of 30.4 seconds
   
3. Productivity of 948 pieces in a shift of 8 hrs
   
4. Blade lifetime of 30 sq.m, i.e., 1321 pieces before the blade goes for re-sharpening
   
5. Saw blade thickness of 1.8 mm in controlling material wastage, and
   
6. Possibility of cutting, chamfering, end facing all in one setting.

B: Work Piece - 70 mm diameter solid carbon steel round - 50 mm long cut pieces

1. The cutting time of 4.6 seconds
   
2. Total cycle time of 6.4 seconds
   
3. Productivity of 4000 pieces in a shift of 8 hrs
   
4. Blade lifetime of 17sq.m, i.e., 4415 pieces before the blade goes for re-sharpening
   
5. Saw blade thickness of 1.8 mm in controlling material wastage, and
   
6. Possibility of cutting, chamfering, end facing all in one setting.

Compare the above data with your current practices and costs. There are many solutions which can be custom built to suit individual needs and budget.

The company, in association with Plantool & Pesmel of Finland, offers tailor made and cost effective solutions in Autosaw Concept (sawing line for long profiles or components, carbide circular saws, flying saws); automation in warehouse and logistics management systems (intermediate storage, shipment storage, stacker crane, roller conveyer, ring type longitudinal wrapping machines, automated film roll changing magazines, pallet manipulator, robotics for cover insert and labelling, online information management, etc).
