Sawing technology, warehousing technology and automation for seamless material flows
At AMB 2026 in Stuttgart, KASTO demonstrated how high-performance sawing technology, intelligent storage systems and smart automation contribute to seamless processes throughout the value chain.
The focus was on solutions that create transparency, reduce manual tasks and make optimum use of available space – for greater efficiency and future-proofing in production.
A new approach to material flow
KASTOcenter compact a modular sawing centre with a minimal footprint
At the AMB, KASTO presented the KASTOcenter compact, a solution that enables automated sawing, storage and material flow processes to be efficiently integrated within a minimal footprint. The compact sawing centre combines a tower storage system, robot-assisted feeding and removal, a saw and downstream machining steps into a seamless, single-source solution.
Its highly compact yet modular design results in a future-proof automation solution that can be flexibly adapted to different requirements.
More power in less space
At the AMB trade fair, KASTO unveiled the new KASTOssb, a high-performance band saw that combines excellent cutting performance with a compact design. It is suitable for structural steel as well as materials that are difficult to machine.
Users benefit from increased productivity, improved energy efficiency and ergonomic operation in a minimal footprint.
Sawing technology for a wide range of requirements
From compact all-rounders through automated series production to the machining of large cross-sections:
At AMB, KASTO presented a range of sawing solutions – including KASTOssb, KASTOwin and KASTOtec – designed to meet the requirements of the steel trade, industry and metalworking.
New ProControl control system generation
The new ProControl control system generation makes sawing more efficient, intuitive and transparent.
Features such as the new Simple Mode support operators in their day-to-day work and provide greater transparency directly at the machine.
Automated cutting of linear guides
The automated machining of linear guides was also part of the solutions presented. The camera-assisted process recognises the drilling pattern directly in the circular saw feed, determines the exact cutting position and carries out the cut with process reliability.
This reduces the need for manual measurement steps, whilst repeatability and process reliability increase, even with a high degree of product variation.
