KASTOcenter compact at a glance
Seamless flow of materials
The KASTOcenter compact combines storage, material feed, sawing and removal into a continuous, automated material flow.
Fewer manual tasks
The compact sawing cell reduces the need for manual transport and handling tasks and eases the workload on staff during day-to-day operations.
Flexible in a small space
A wide variety of items in small to medium-sized quantities can be processed flexibly and automatically – without the need for an oversized, large-scale production line.
The KASTOcenter compact is a modular, automated sawing centre for long materials that requires minimal floor space. It combines a tower storage system, robot-assisted material feeding, a roller conveyor, suitable sawing technology and automated removal into a coordinated complete system.
From the raw material in storage to the sawn section, all process steps are seamlessly integrated. The required material is made available as and when needed, clearly assigned to the respective order and guided through the process without unnecessary manual handling.
Non-productive times are reduced and largely automated operation becomes possible. Depending on the system configuration, manual tasks are limited to storage, pallet changes or part removal.

Warehouse technology for space-saving and demand-driven provision
The automated tower storage system stores raw materials in a protected, well-organised manner within a compact footprint. The required items are made available for the sawing process as and when needed.
Depending on capacity and height requirements, the system can be equipped with the KASTOecostore, offering a system height of up to 8 m, or the UNITOWER, offering a system height of up to 24 m.
Robotics for material separation
The KASTOpick robot-assisted material separation system retrieves the material and transfers it safely to the next station. This reduces the need for manual handling and the risk of misallocation.
At the same time, the automated transfer creates the conditions for a largely unmanned material flow.
Sawing technology for different materials and diameters
The KASTOload roller conveyor reliably transports the material to the saw and positions it for the next stage of the process. Depending on requirements, the KASTOcenter compact can flexibly be combined with various saw models – for example, alongside the KASTOssb vertical band saw , it can also be combined with the KASTOvariospeed automatic circular saw.
This ensures that the solution remains flexibly scalable, from a compact all-rounder to a high-performance fully automatic machine, and can be adapted to the material, diameter, cycle rate and production method – whether for individual orders, varying production runs or industrial applications.
Intelligent removal and automated handling
KASTOsort handles the automated removal and targeted storage of the sawn sections - back into the tower, onto separate pallets, into a pallet carousel or an additional tower storage unit.. Depending on requirements, parts can be sorted, stacked, palletised or picked.
Additional processes such as deburring, blowing off, cleaning, measuring or laser marking can be integrated as optional extras. This means that automation does not end with the saw cut, but can extend right through to preparation for the next production step.
Check your potential for automation
Together, we analyse product variety, quantities, stock and material flows, as well as requirements in terms of performance, floor space and downstream processes. This enables us to quickly assess whether KASTOcenter compact is the right automation solution.
