KASTO introduces sawing and storage solutions

The universal bandsaw series KASTOwin was also present at the event. Designed for the serial and production sawing of solid materials, pipes and sections, these machines are available in different sizes and have all been designed using the same construction method, meaning that the components used are largely identical and KASTO is able to offer the machines at a competitive price. Informing visitors about the new prod- ucts and how each one could help their requirements, KASTO showed how its high-performance version KASTOwin pro AC 5.6 reduces cutting times by up to 50 per cent and how the company has extensively revised the automated bandsaw KASTOtec, and added an infinitely adjustable, electro-mechanical saw feed. The swing-frame bandsaws of the KASTOmicut series, which are

SAWING and storage technology specialist KASTO presented a wide range of innovations at the recent FABTECH trade show in Chicago, USA. Showcasing its new sawing machines at the event, KASTO intro- duced visitors to everything from the KASTOmicut workshop bandsaw and the versatile series KASTOwin, to the KASTOtec high-performance production saws. They also introduced the compact, standardised KASTOecostore tower storage system. Starting with the KASTOmiwin, a double mitre bandsaw for cut-to-length and mitre cuts between -45 and +60 degrees, KASTO demonstrated how this product, which is available in semi- automated or fully-automated versions, has been designed for parts cut to size in steel construction, steel trade, plant construction and special machine construction.

available in two sizes and have been specially designed for use in workshops, were also on show. The company also demonstrated the KASTOecostore tower storage system, which requires low space requirement, offers high storage density, flexible clamping and fastening and short access times. The system can also hold containers such as euro-pallets and wire boxes as well as being used as a buffer store between production areas.

Sawing, handling and feeding system BÜLTMANN designs individual con- cepts to cover non-standard require- ments, with a focus on applications for cutting tubes, bars and profiles within finishing lines that cannot be handled with conventional standard sawing machines. The sawing heads are able to perform the higher cutting speeds required for such applications.

and tube handling systems, ensuring fully automatic operation of the equipment and precise workpiece positioning for tight tolerances. The sawing systems are universally and flexibly applicable, independent of whether they are integrated in a complete finishing line as a turnkey solution or as a single-machine concept.

The company can supply tailor-made solutions, whether for high throughput capacity or maximum flexibility for small batch sizes, and has the right concept for almost every application, from a multi-head principle to a single-head system with stopper-free, high-precision positioning. The cutting machines are combined with the Bültmann feeding, discharging

In addition to its sawing solutions for steel and stainless steel applications, which are executed in cooperation with German sawmill manufacturers, Bültmann has developed special sawing heads for non-ferrous material.
