Cutting, sawing & prof i l ing technology

Sawing technology for high demands

sawing machines, tube layer sawing machines, sample sawing machines, as well as rail sawing and drilling machines. Hydropol machine beds provide optimum vibration damping during sawing, ensuring maximum cutting efficiency and tool life. The company provides tailor-made machine sol- utions and customer-specific

FRAMAG Industrieanlagenbau is active in the fields of industrial equipment and mechanical engineering. Since its foundation in 1979, the company has improved its core competences to become a partner for solutions for steel mill machinery (torch cutting, cross cutting and slitting machines, de-burrers, scrap cutting plants, scarfing machines, machine cutting torches and nozzles); sawing technology (billet sawing, tube layer sawing, rail sawing and drilling machines); vibration technology (Hydropol ® machine parts, engineering of foundations, and vibration analyses, levelling elements); and engineering (3D design, simulations, design engineering, and special-purpose machines). framag cold circular sawing machines are designed for dry sawing with almost burr-free and rectangular cuts. Due to innovative power and high technological competence, the company claims to have become a leading supplier in the field of sawing technology. Its sawing machines are tested and optimised on the basis of FE calculations. The range of products includes billet

for mechanical engineering. Featuring the vibration-damping properties of Hydropol, the materials have been developed specifically for the requirements of dynamic components. Due to the low specific weight of the new materials, vibrations can be damped where they arise at the machine – the point of contact between the tool and the work piece. framag Industrieanlagenbau GmbH – Austria Fax: +43 7683 5040 86

engineering of upstream and down- stream plant components, with sturdy, durable and maintenance-friendly machine design. The quality of the cuts ensures minimum tool costs, and the use of high-grade components allows long machine service life and minimised machine downtime. Work piece strengths of up to 1,500N/mm² can be cut without difficulty, and there is no microstructural transformation of the cut material. One carbide saw can replace ten band saws or five HHS saws. Hydropol-Light and Hydropol- Superlight are new, innovative materials

Improved handling of saw blades FOR more than 100 years Tenryu has researched TCT circular saw blades for metal cutting to improve performance. Now a further breakthrough has been achieved in tube cutting of thin wall steel tube of different steel grades against traditionally used highest quality HSS circular saw blades.

The lifetime of the TCT HypercutPro saw blades tops the output of the complete lifecycle of HSS saw blades including re-sharpening. This offers the advantage of using one TCT saw blade instead of an HSS saw blade with many re-sharpenings and PVD re-coatings. This means blade handling and machine resetting is not needed for reduction of diameter and kerf-thickness and number of teeth when the teeth have to be remade on HSS blades due to reduction of blade diameter and shrinking of tooth pitch. One blade is needed for the complete cycle so there

speeds currently possible – often up to 250m per minute. HypercutPro blades perform so well thanks to their thin kerf, special tooth material and geometry, and a new applied PVD coating, all developed by the in-house R&D team at Tenryu.

is no blade change and no change of settings on the machine for positioning and cutting parameters, which means machine operations are reduced to a minimum, allowing operators to reduce time on machine handling and have time for others issues such as machine maintenance. All of these advantages are offered without loss of output as the TCT blades are still cutting at some of the highest
