High-efficient cutting of solids and tubes on bandsawing machines is already a synonym for the KASTOtec-series. Due to intensive research in cooperation with well-knows manufacturers of cutting tools a further technology leap in metal cutting could be achieved: KASTO Performance Cutting (KPC) stands for optimum adjustment of machine tool building, machine tool technology and control engineering. KPC offers an increase in chip capacity subject to the material by more than 30 % at comparable or better blade life! Especially at high-efficient work environment depending on maximum speed and quality in cutting, KPC can provide its high potential. Therewith KPC can support the tendency of outsourcing sawing task to the steel centers by the metal-working industry in an optimal way.

Optimization of Vibrations

Based on good requirements of the KASTOtec series, with saw unit in steel-mineral composite construction and running wheel’s bearing on both sides, additional measures were taken in order to enable a smooth cut at high cutting performance. The saw blade guide for KPC has a completely new design and the TrumGuides (guiding elements supported by shock absorbers) provide the smoothness of the saw blade in the return sector.

Modern Tool Technologie

An essential performance improvement in bandsawing technology can be achieved by using carbide-tipped saw blades. By means of enhancements of these tools, for KPC rather coated carbide blades are used. This leads to a better chip flow, better cutting characteristics and a longer blade life. The hydraulically damped but rigid and precise saw feed is a basic requirement.

Intelligent Control Technology

KASTO offers three different control types: BasicControl for ordinary use, EasyControl for the control of technology and TechnoControl for complex installations with material feed out of a storage system resp. sorting by robots. The controls offer easy possibilities to select the preset but individually changeable technology values for different saw blade types.
