Brass billet sawing and cutting Three-cylinder hydraulic cutting unit

ASMAG, Austria, offers a wide range of machine concepts in the area of saws and cutters. Its metal circular saws are used for sawing of pre-material, semi-finished products and finished products. The robust structure guarantees vibration free machine operation, even when sawing large material. This leads to more accurate cutting results and extended saw blade service life. One of the latest innovations in this area is a sawing line for brass billets. The sawing machine is arranged in-line with an extrusion press for brass tubes. The length of the incoming material is 2.8–3.2m and the diameter of the billets is up to 320mm. At the end of the charging unit, the billets are automatically separated into the saw entry roller table. Before sawing, the billets are measured and the optimum dividing length is calculated by the control system.

High cutting performances and vibration-free operation of the machine are guaranteed due to the rigid, robust design. The sawn billets with a length of 280–900mm are weighed by the weighing system and are then lifted by means of a manipulator into the storage system with a capacity up to 400 billets. The inclusion of an integrated material tracking system allows billets to be selected by alloy and weight on demand from the billet stock. The company claims that the essential benefits of the machine include: fully automatic operation of the entire sawing line; highest cutting performance and vibration free operation due to robust design; ergonomic plant design; and efficient flow of material.
