Expanded Band Saw Line for Tube Machining

KASTO Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG is expanding the KASTOwin band saw range that it first introduced in 2014 with the KASTOwin tube A 5.0. This model has been specially designed for machining tubular material. Compared to the other KASTOwin models, the direction of movement of the saw feed is rotated through 180 degrees and sawing is performed upwards from the support surface. This is designed for efficient, precise sawing that reduces wear on the cutting tools.

The cutting range of KASTOwin tube A 5.0 for round materials is 500 mm and the shortest possible cutting length is 10 mm. Using the frequency-controlled drive, it is possible to adjust the cutting speed continuously between 12 and 150 m per minute. Carbide saw bands, of the type required for various tubular materials, can be used with the KASTOwin tube A 5.0 without the need for any further accessories. The saw band is clamped in position hydraulically and is cleaned using a replaceable, electrically driven chip removal brush. The vice and saw feed are equipped with zero-play linear guides, and ball screw spindle drives ensure controlled cutting and material feed movements. All the elements that make up the KASTOwin series are manufactured and assembled in Germany.

The intelligent SmartControl sawing machine controller is designed to provide easy operation. It contains all the material data and automatically sets all the necessary parameters. What is more, the KASTOrespond system, which was developed specially for this system, continuously records the forces at the tool and uses an intelligent algorithm to convert these into feed movements. When special requirements have to be met, KASTO can offer a wide range of accessories for the KASTOwin tube A 5.0: for example, a heating and cooling device for operation at temperatures over 40 or below 0 °C.
