Newly developed flying profile cutter

The flying profile cutter RS600 is designed as a self-contained unit that can easily be integrated into all Schöler profile welding and folding systems. In addition, open mechanical and electronic interfaces ensure a trouble-free integration into production systems of external manufacturers. Highlights of the machine include freely definable dip point of the blade by swivelling the linear drive system by ±90°. A minimum cutting length variation is possible by using an in-house developed hardware/software platform. In addition, there is automatic adjustment of profile lengths by continuous temperature compensation. Inclusive of stable cutter blades and cutoff dies, the machine can be retrofitted to existing welding, folding or extruding system (also external systems). Other features include integrated diagnosis and analysis functions, remote control via modem or internet link, freely programmable outputs for integrating further components, and profile length adjustment at full production speed.

In the tube and pipe industry, many users are now seeking a better way of sawing more precisely and quickly in order to achieve higher productivity. From the context of the recent change in the international industry, Tenryu has encountered various new challenging applications for circular sawing. In each instance of R&D, the company has accumulated the knowledge and experience from each project. In order to turn new ideas into actual products, the company is always seeking a better way to produce quality saw blades. In order to maintain the quality of the products, Tenryu has set an extremely high standard for manufacturing and quality control.

Schöler Spezialmaschinenbau GmbH, Germany, has launched the newly developed RS600 flying profile cutter. This new cutter combines the established Schöler technologies of the high-frequency rotary tube cutters RS100-RS300, with the RS400 flying vertical cutters, which provides for a multitude of application options. The RS600 can be utilized in a variety of manufacturing operations where a

rectangular burr-free, cut edge is required at an extremely high output rate. In order to meet the requirements, a high-performance cutting method has been developed, in which the cutoff unit is synchronized to the profile speed on a linear drive system. Using a synchronized cutoff unit, the cut can be executed by a rotating blade fitted onto the cutoff unit. During this stage, the linear drive system can be swivelled around the horizontal

centre of the profile. This ensures easy determination of the point at which the blade dips into the profile, enabling the optimal separation of unsymmetrical profiles. The heart of the RS600, as for all Schöler cutters, is an efficient hardware/ software platform. It enables millisecond-precise synchronization of the acceleration processes for the cutoff unit and cutter arm. Only with the optimum interaction of all components can the excellent cutting length variation be achieved.
