If they exist, the cutting job is changed automatically until no more cut-off pieces can be cut from the existing remnant.

Details equipment

Machine Base

Heavy-duty, distortion-free welded construction

Machine Enclosure according to the latest CE Criteria

The KASTOwin A 3.6 is equipped with complete enclosure. A high degree of safety, cleanliness and low-noise cutting is achieved with best accessibility on the material infeed and outfeed side.

Saw Unit (Saw Frame)

Manufactured in robust weldment without distortion, with ribbing optimized against vibration. By using the latest constructional technology and manufacturing methods, an extremely quiet running without vibration is obtained. This means shorter cutting times and longer tool life.

 Guide of the Saw Unit

Linear guides, each one with two guide carriages on one guide rail. The recirculating ball unit consists of one solid pretensioned roller running system.The greased guide carriages ensure a maximum usable life.

Saw Blade Guide

Lateral guiding by hydraulically pretensioned carbide slideways, with clearance stroke system for fast exchange of saw blade. Back guiding by rollers. Automatic adjustment of the blade guide in accordance with the width of the material to cut.

Clearance Stroke System for Material

After a cut has been finished in automatic cycle the clamped material to be cut is retracted on the infeed side by approx. 2 mm from the saw blade by means of a clearance stroke system for material (to prolong blade life).

Adjustment of the Saw Unit’s Height

Start of cutting operation and cutting height can be adjusted either via teach function or automatically via the entered material diameter.

Saw Blade Tension

Hydraulic, electronically monitored with automatic pressure reduction if the machine is out of operation, automatic switching-off if the saw blade breaks.

Swarf Removal at Saw Blade by motor-driven, self-adjusting Chip Brush

This smart mechanical system adjusts itself over the complete lifetime of the chip brush.
The brush is thus always in its optimal position, which extends its life considerably.

Material Clamping - Machine Vice

The hydraulically actuated horizontal vice enables an optimum work piece clamping on the outfeed side of the saw blade and cutting of short remnants.

In order to be able to guarantee safe transport of forged material as well, the fixed vice jaw is automatically retracted from the contact edge by approx. 6 mm during material transport movement (clearance stroke system).

Material Clamping - Feed Vice

Hydraulically actuated horizontal vice with integrated material limit switch.

In order to be able to guarantee safe transport of forged material as well, the fixed vice jaw is automatically retracted from the contact edge by approx. 6 mm during material transport movement (clearance stroke system).

Automatic, Numerically Controlled Material Feed

Via feed gripper system. Material feed length 500 mm. Standard multiple feed. Short cut lengths up to 250 mm are achieved by an incremental feed. Material feed via servomotor and ball bearing spindle.

Special feed length up to 1500 mm in one stroke can be supplied for an extra charge (Pos. 1510).

Operation

All operating elements are arranged centrally and ergonomically at the front side of the machine.

Material Feeding

Material Outfeed

Via deposit table. Transfer height 700 mm, container height max. 650 mm.

The material outfeed side meets the effective European and international safety standards. A safety inspection of the complete machine has been performed by the German Professional Association and the French Apave.

A large-dimensioned deposit table with coolant recirculation or equipped with rollers, for connection to roller conveyor, can be supplied on request.

Hydraulic System

Compact system in block construction, removable, integrated into machine base and easy to access and check from outside. In that way, maintenance time for oil-level control and exchange of filter can be minimized.

This extremely energy-saving system only runs when required.

Heating and cooling packages can be supplied on request.

Coolant Tank

In machine base. Coolant supply through nozzles at the blade guides.

Diagnosis of performance and energy consumption

Recording and display of the current data of performance and energy consumption based on non-recurring measuring values for basic functions as well as the calcula-tion of motor performance of all drives during the running process.

Details optional equipment

KASTOrespond

The new KASTOrespond system, especially designed for this machine line, provides ideal settings of the machine for solid materials, pipes and profiles of all material types and is available for all sizes of the KASTOwin series.

The system continuously records the forces on the tool without using an additional and often error-prone sensor system. It intelligently converts information into the optimum digital downfeed speed. Thick-walled and thin-walled material, constantly changing contact length in round material as well as hard spots in solid materials are recognized on time by KASTOrespond and the feed speed is smartly adapted accordingly. The operator only needs to
program the relevant data such as the cutting lengths, the quantities and the type of material to be cut. Everything else is taken care of by the KASTOwin.

Safety package

Recommendable if the machine partly works in unmanned shift, consisting of:

Supervision of the non-driven blade running wheel by SpeedControl (electronic supervision of minimum number of revolutions). If the minimum number of revolutions is too low, e.g. by reason of a blade break, the machine stops automatically.

Supervision of deviation of cut by BandControl. If a programmable value of deviation is exceeded, the machine stops automatically.

Supervision of coolant quantity by FlowControl. If the coolant flow rate is too low, the machine switches off automatically.

LED machine lamp

Automatic zero positioning start/KASTOsense

After having entered the requested cut-off length and quantity and after having activated the control function “zero positioning”, the first cut-off piece is at once positioned fully automatically at the requested cut-off length and then cut. The system is designed for material heights from 30 mm.

Function expanded by two additional types to start:

  • “Automatic zero positioning start”: Put the leading edge of the material to any position in the outfeed vice and start the cutting job. The first cut-off piece will be positioned automatically to the cut-off length.
  • “Automatic zero positioning start for remnants”: same as “automatic zero positioning start”, but the material is not clamped anew in the infeed vice.

These types to start are possible from a material height ≥ 30 mm.

They are selectable and deselectable. When they are deselected, the types to start “Manual zero positioning start” and “Manual zero positioning start for remnants” are active.

KASTOsense:

  • Automatic recording of the material height from any position of the saw feed in all types to start.
  • With all types to start, except for zero positioning starts, the recording is active also for restart of cutting operations that have begun already.

KASTOsense is possible from a material width ≥ 30 mm.

KASTOsense is not possible for very easy to cut special materials (e.g. plastics, partly aluminium).

KASTOsense is selectable and deselectable.
