Circular sawblades specialist

STARK SpA leads an industrial group specialising in HSS and TCT circular sawblades for a full range of metal cutting applications. STARK headquarters and production facilities are located in Trivignano Udinese, Italy although the group is also present worldwide: STARK GmbH has been present in Germany since 1976 and in 1999, following corporate growth, STARK Do Brasil Ltd was founded in São Paulo and soon after, Frund STARK SA – Argentina. In 2005 STARK SpA Representative office was established in Guangzhou (China) and in 2006 STARK India Toolings (P) Ltd in Mumbai. With more than 40 years of experience, STARK has achieved a leading position thanks to its organisation and professional approach as well as the quality of its products. The whole production process is characterised by three specific sectors: woodworking tools, saw blades for metal cutting and circular knives for the paper, corrugated and plastic industry. In the last years STARK’s target has been the development of high performance circular sawblades for cutting any kind of material with special focus on the ferrous ones in tube applications. With its own three PVD coating furnaces STARK is able to grant a constant production quality providing at the same time the most suitable solution according to different customer needs. On the other side, the mutual cooperation with R&D chemical science and technology department of University of Udine and Laboratory of Metallurgy, surface technology and advanced materials of Friuli Innovazione gives STARK the chance of developing and investigating the PVD process with the most advanced equipment on the market. The Millennium coating is an example of this successful relationship: the result is a high performance coating, able to satisfy the most critical end-user requirements.

The saw features universal adjustment possibilities and a rafter trimmer with some models, which the company claims makes the saws particularly suitable for manufacturers that require a high degree of flexibility. The sawing heads are highly adjustable and can be used for any standard designs as well as more complicated cutting. The main advantage is that one bench with 4,000mm of length is connected with a second bench of 2,500mm in an ‘L’ shape. This means that bent tubes can be also worked on efficiently with the sawing blade easily adjustable to work on both benches or just one bench. Neu has also developed cutting lines with a loader-magazine and automatic mitre adjustment and high-speed cutting lines for tubes. Neu GmbH – Germany
