Automated saw systems from framag FRAMAG builds large, robust cold circular saws with a high degree of automation and low maintenance costs. The Austrian company also offers customisable solutions.

An increasing number of companies globally are relying on machines from framag and taking advantage of its sawing expertise. One of these is SMS group GmbH in the German town of Witten. The mechanical engineering company recently ordered two type KKS 1430 carbide billet sawing machines. The framag machines are part of a major project for the production of railway wheels. The technology from Austria is ultimately destined for India – the final customer (Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited) is a leading steel manufacturer. The machines will be employed in producing wheels at the new plant in the northern Indian province of Uttar Pradesh. The production facility has a capacity of 100,000 wheels per annum, extendable to 200,000 wheels per annum when required. The requirement for the framag machines is to saw ingots with a diameter of 350 to 500mm to the intended length for the respective wheels – all as part of a fully automated process. framag provided the entire system including all the engineering and software. Apart from the KKS 1430 saw and saw blades it supplied the material support and the input roller table for materials handling, as well as the volume
