High Speed Precision Cutting for Bars, Tubes and Workpieces



Pat Mooney Saws offers the OMP K3, a fully automatic circular saw designed for production sawing applications requiring straight cuts on bars, tubes and structural workpieces. This heavily constructed upcut saw is capable of cutting up to 7" in diameter.

OMP K3 is hydraulically driven and controlled via a servo feed system. According to the company, this allows precise control of the feedrate, which is important when cutting large sections of material and/or using carbide tipped saw blades. The gear box is equipped with a hydraulic brake designed to ensure all backlash is removed from the system. This allows for longer blade life and carbide saw blade use, as well as HSS.

OMP K3 features ZONE CUT Technology, which is designed to allow faster cutting with speeds of 20-200 RPM while extending saw blade life. This technology adjusts the feedrate during the cut since there are critical zones that can reduce blade life which are entry and exit points of the tube. This happens when cutting wider, thicker sections of material. In addition, there is an express zone where the feedrate can be increased without wearing the saw blade because this involves cutting through thinner sections of material. In the express zones, ZONE CUT automatically increases the feedrate, and in the critical zones it automatically decreases the feedrate - resulting in faster cut times and extended saw blade life.

The saw is equipped with three clamps: the gripper vise that indexes the material into the saw; the unloading/outfeed clamps that move the piece after the cut is complete; and the fixed vise that clamps on both sides of the saw blade.

OMP K3 utilizes a high-speed gripper vise to feed the tubes/bars into the saw with speeds of up to 31-1/2" per second. The shuttle vise is controlled by ball screw and servo motor with accelerating and decelerating NC controlled ramps.

The OMP K3 uses NC controls and the machine's operation is managed with the Siemens touchscreen HMI/PLC. This machine can store up to 10,000 programs and has the capability to make six different cut lengths out of one tube/bar to help reduce scrap.
