Accurate Cutting Services knows exactly how to keep RLC Callender’s VIP customers flying high.
The precise band-sawing of titanium by Accurate Cutting Services based in a in-house sawing cell enables the fan blade machining cell at Callender’s to make parts for use in Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Witney “hollow fan blade” aero-engines.
We sometimes get asked to cut some unusual items, and for those of us who have ever played with trains as a kid, this job was interesting.
Sectioning complete items requires careful selection of band saw blades and a stable setup on the bandsaw machines. Our experience over nearly 50 years has enabled Accurate to tackle any job.
This was a test cut using a metal cutting horizontal bandsaw and a carbide tipped bandsaw blade for a customer sawing concrete filled test bomb casing. Of course, we’re never told why. In this case, cutting concrete, inclusive of aggregate etc., wouldn’t be a normal application for a carbide tipped blade, however, as we were sawing a steel case at the same time, an abrasive blade was unlikely to survive.
The company has been asked to cut a very wide variety of materials and objects in almost 40 years of subcontract sawing using bandsaw machines. Some jobs were completely unforeseen such as bandsawing meteorites! The company has cut three meteorites using a bandsaw – the Nantan, Henbury and the Steinbach. The sectioning of these rare meteorites has given universities, world-wide, an opportunity to research the composition of planets, and even to take a closer look at the centre of the earth.
Using a bandsaw blade to cut a piece of material doesn’t usually cause any problems with that material. However, occasionally, the material causes significant problems for the bandsaw blade!
Some jobs are special cutting applications, but require individual attention and solutions to cut. Accurate Cutting Services has specialised in providing a sawing service to meet even the most varied and specialised of jobs.
The end plates of heat exchangers are often one of the more expensive parts of the fabrication, and during tube replacement extracting the end plates for reuse during the re-tubing process.
Substantial cost savings and valuable knowledge can be gained through reclamation and component failure investigation, where large, machined components or fabrications are sectioned using heavy duty band-saw machines at Accurate Cutting Services.
