Cost Advantages from Circular-Sawing Technology


Quality and cost advantages from the latest carbide, circular-sawing technology

Tsune fully automatic circular-sawing machineThe Tsune fully automatic circular-sawing machine (illustrated), using highspeed steel or tungsten carbide-tipped saw-blades, is one of 11 installed to produce high quality blanks for automotive component applications.

CNC control means that sawing conditions can be optimised, with output maximised. Close tolerance billets – to 0.25mm, depending on material, size a

nd blade wear – of up to 100mm diameter can be produced, in batch or volume quantities, using full Statistical Process Control if required. The accuracy of these saws provides a very accurate blank for cut-to-weight applications where the volume of material in a die is critical.

Cuts are virtually burr-free, with surface finishes so fine that further machining is often unnecessary.

Specially designed carbide blade-tooth geometry gives these machines performance advantages compared to others. The blades are supported by carbide guides, on both sides of the blade body, to ensure that they remain true and square to the cut.

Components can be cut using oil mist lubrication, to produce virtually dry components with no adhering swarf.
