Saw technology from framag FOR framag, a saw manufacturer from Frankenburg, Austria, the requirements of ThyssenKrupp Rothe Erde GmbH were clear: an old sawing system had to be replaced and the new saw needed to be integrated in the existing production line. The goal was to achieve a high level of process reliability and a good cutting result on quenched and tempered steels (eg 42CrMo4) and construction steels. Using state-of-the-art technology, framag engineered a KKS 1600 cold circular saw that cuts round materials with a diameter up to 600mm and a length of 6,000 to 10,000mm precisely

and reliably (out-of-roundness up to 1.5 per cent). A special three-point clamping device, combined with a table height adjustment system, supports the material during cutting. The newly developed hydraulic saw blade damping patented by framag improves the smooth running of the saw blade, which also has a positive effect on the blade’s service life. The cut becomes more even overall, with a minimal cut gap. “framag is a competent partner. The communication in the project phase was very good and all our requirements were met to our complete satisfaction,” said H Tschich (Dr Ing) from ThyssenKrupp Rothe Erde. “The installation and commissioning were also carried out extremely professionally. The agreed acceptance criteria were met without any problems.” framag Industrieanlagenbau GmbH – Austria
