KASTOspeed: High-Performance Automatic Circular Sawing Machines for Economical Cutting of Large Batches of Steel and Non-Ferrous Metals.

High-Performance at a Rapid Pace Fully Automatic Circular Saws, KASTOspeed Series

KASTOspeed: Fast and precise cutting of large batches.

Experts count on KASTOs competence. Metal impact plants, forge shops, manufacturers of fittings and electrical parts, steel service centers and almost every automotive supplier use the services of KASTOspeed when cutting sections of steel and non-ferrous metals. These automatic circular saws satisfy because of minimal cycle times and they produce millions of accurate cut-off pieces during two or three-shift operations per year. Thanks to their high reliability and precision in continuous operation, the KASTOspeed automatic circular saws are worldwide one of the top-selling, mass-cutting circular saws of their kind. Large-scale production in continuous operation is accomplished by the KASTOspeed 9 when producing cut-off pieces of steel and non-ferrous metals with a material cross-section up to a diameter of 90 mm (3). According to the chips produced by the cutting action of the material and the product requirements, HSS solid steel or carbide one-way saw blades with appropriate cutting speeds are used. The optimal position of the saw carriage and the four-point material clamping device enable shortest cutting paths. For the handling of bars and cut-off pieces, different possibilities are offered. The saws can be interlinked to storage systems and machining centers.

Trouble-Free in Continuous Multiple Shift Operation: KASTOspeed Circular Sawing Machine

KASTO Technology: Powerful solutions for high profitability.

KASTOspeed sawing machines for large batches set the pattern for mass cutting of steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. Solid high speed steel (HSS) and carbide-tipped saw blades are used according to the application. This guarantees highest chip production because of the rugged machine construction. Further advantages of the KASTOspeed: short cycle times due to the fast bar pusher carriage as well as the hydraulically cushioned length gauge.

KASTOspeed 15: For material cross-sections up to 150 mm (612).

KASTOspeed 15 automatic circular saws fulfill the highest requirements in power and efficiency when cutting steel with tensile strengths up to approx. 1.400 N/mm (200,000 psi) also highalloyed steel using one-way carbide saw blades and HSS solid saw blades. The model M15 is used for cutting non-ferrous metals with HSS or carbide tipped saw blades. The solid machine construction with its helical high-performance saw carriage gearing in combination with a hydraulically cushioned length gauge and a fast positioning bar pushing carriage guarantees highest production performance for precise cut-off pieces. Additionally to the standard equipment, extensive customer-oriented peripheral solutions are available for the efficient processing of your cutting requirements. For easy and clear input of cutting jobs a user-friendly programmable controller with operator interface panel is integrated.

Equipment Details and Accessories

Material infeed adapted to the cutting task.

In order to store large numbers of bars on the infeed side of the machine, different kinds of magazines are available. Starting with the inclined magazine on which one layer of material is pre-stored, bundle loader on which one bundle is singled fully automatically, or flat magazine for square and special profiles as well as for surface-sensitive materials, different accessories are available for an extended operation with limited operator involvement. With the direct supply out of a KASTO storage system, several material bundles can be processed fully automatically one after the other. Trim cuts and remnants are separated from the good pieces at the outfeed side. According to the cut-off length and cutting task a sorting slide or a tilting table can be offered. More containers for good cut-off pieces can optionally be positioned in the discharge area. An even higher grade of automation offers a robot sorting device which stacks the parts with different grippers according to the cutting requirement into customer-provided containers. For the disposal of chips produced during cutting, sturdy chip conveyors as well as powerful suction units of different designs are available. Electrostatic air filters are also available for reduction of coolant emission fumes.

Qualified Advice, Reliable Service: Success Factors for a Long-Term, Efficient Installation.
The competence for solutions does not end with the sawing machine. Competent advice is available at the beginning to assure a successful application of KASTOspeed circular sawing machines and is based on extensive technology, cutting trials, and long-term experience in all different kinds of applications. For this reason other functions such as material infeed, material supply out of storage systems, and fully automatic sorting and stacking of cut-off pieces by robot are used. Longterm advantage also with later adaptations and supplements is the machine control developed by KASTO operating with established industrial hardware.

Satisfied customers are no coincidence.

Training towards the success of our customers installation is a company policy of KASTO. Therefore service is an important part of a long-term partnership for a durable efficiency and reliability of KASTO products. Often a problem can be solved by the machine operators after an advisory service by phone. Supply and shipment of spare parts is normally carried out the same day of the malfunction notice. Competent help on site, when required, is performed by especially trained service technicians.
