A revolution in metal cutting from Linsinger By Michael Steinkogler, head of sales, sawing and milling technology, Linsinger Maschinenbau

LINCUT ® is an innovative, patented changing system from Linsinger that paved the way for a reorientation of the saw blade industry worldwide through a simple and economical concept. Linsinger has now been motivated to further expand its in-house Lincut ® saw blade production in order to increase performance and tool life, while at the same time reducing the power consumption of the machine. The Linsinger manufacturing capacity is currently expanding on a yearly basis to meet the demand for its products, and has increased every year for more than ten years since the product was first developed. Linsinger believes it is important to manufacture equipment of the highest possible quality and to fulfil the customer’s complete performance requirements. It is also vital to use machines and tools from a single source

more than half. The ROI can therefore be reached faster, which immediately lowers production costs. No matter what material, conventional carbon steel or highly alloyed stainless steel, the coating and shape of Lincut carbide plates maintains tool life. The saw blade body receives a perfect saw blade body tension and is designed for up to 100 uses (re-assembly with carbide plates) because of the high material quality. The saw blade stock is therefore reduced, which in turn lowers procurement, storage and operating costs. Performance and tool life are increased by up to 25 per cent due to the stability and the specially developed shapes of the Lincut tools. The Lincut system is available exclu- sively for Linsinger high-performance circular saws. Linsinger runs its own tool technology centre in Austria, which spe- cialises in research and development of tools. It also constantly expands its R&D department to continue making progress with innovations. Its experts will support the customer and its employees during the conversion of a sawing department to Lincut.

to help achieve maximum efficiency and a quick return on investment. Lincut ® is a saw blade system that renders unnecessary the welding of normal carbide pieces onto the saw blade body, as well as the sharpening to make saw blades ready for use. Instead it uses carbide plates that can be produced in all shapes and coatings and are simply screwed on. This method has been established in cutting for decades and is now a popular sawing technology. The carbide plates (formerly saw tooth) can, if required, be exchanged individually directly at the saw machine by the operator of the machine. For this, Linsinger has developed an entire tool- changing system from screwdriver to transport, which makes the exchange easy and uncomplicated. Even the special screws that securely fix the cutting plates onto the saw blade body are developed by Linsinger. Sharpening is therefore unnecessary. The transport of a huge number of saw blades to a sharpening centre or the investment in an in-house sharpening centre can be omitted with the Linsinger technology. Circular saws equipped with a standard saw blade are expected to have a necessary two per cent standstill per year due to required tool changing. Lincut technology is claimed to reduce this unnecessary loss of production by
