Fully automatic roller feed saw Scotchman Industries, USA, has developed the CPO 315 roller feed automatic cold saw, which it says is a fully automatic cold saw that provides uninterrupted cutting. The saw suits high volume and long length applications. It comes equipped with either a supply table or a full bundle loading attachment. Either system allows the saw to automatically load, trim, cut and sort lengths up to 120" (60" is standard) and hold ±0.006" lengths of material up to 3" in diameter. With optional equipment the user can also feed directly into a de-burring machine or form jaws that can handle thin wall applications without distortion. The CPO 315 RFA saws are available in ferrous and non-ferrous models. Scotchman Industries – USA Fax : +1 800 843 5545

RED Bull Technology, which manufactures Formula 1 motor sport cars for Red Bull Racing, has replaced its existing flat-bed knife cutter with two Zund knife cutters, one with a conveyor bed. Red Bull Technology claims it has seen an increase in throughput on the machine due to features such as common-line cutting, which allow plies to be separated with a single cut rather than leaving a skeleton. The company added that, since being installed, the system has proven to be

very reliable and it had experienced no down time because of either machine or software-related problems. It also claims maintenance costs are lower than before. Andy Bosworth, Red Bull Technology production coordinator, said: “JETCAM had the lowest scrap rate and highest efficiency, with nests 16% more efficient and it was also recommended by the machine tool vendor.” JETCAM International – Monaco Fax : +37 7935 07626
