Precise multi-disk cutting solution

can start the cutting operation. One of the advantages of the solution is the rotating capacity of the disks, which allows times to be reduced while productivity is increased. The device also features a robotised exit system that displaces cut tubes to the threading line, to continue with the subse- quent machining phase or to proceed to storage.

Danobat has developed a high- precision multi-disk cutting solution for the automotive, oil and gas and bearing manufacturing sectors. The high-output, fully automated flexible system can be adapted to clients’ needs. The solution, developed for an iron and steel multinational company, facilitates cutting of high added value steel tubes while minimising material waste. Conceived for a steel industry multi- national company, the solution facilitates the cutting of steels of different qualities, and diameters from 60 to 280mm, with a maximum thickness of 40mm and lengths ranging from 25 to 400mm. The flexible system can adapt to other parameters, depending on the user’s requirements. This solution is envisaged to be integrated into a production plant manufacturing execution system (MES). Its operation is fully automated and it is equipped with a load bed that places tubes in the exact position ready to start cutting operations. As a result, the three machine disks, mounted on a rotating head assembly,

The solution, equipped with Danobat’s proprietary software, enables commu- nication with the produc- tion plant’s central control system, which sends production orders directly to the device. Danobat’s development integrates Industry 4.0 technology, fits within the zero-defect manufacturing framework and complies with minimisation of kerf requirements, ie reducing the amount of waste material generated in the cutting process.

The system can be integrated with other equipment already installed at the plant, with the aim of working on-line but also allowing already-cut parts to be palletised, to be stored and delivered to another destination. Danobat – Spain
