Kaltenbach celebrates best start to the year for five years

Managing director Barry Rooney puts this down to the company's technology. "We have the technology to make a marked difference to any company's production efficiency. Our continual technology advances, and particularly some of the recent gains in even greater sawing efficiency, are satisfying our customers' constant demand for cost-efficient productivity. "We showed several new advanced sawing systems at MACH2012 that offered further, very marked productivity gains for the stockholding, general engineering and structural steel sectors, which we are pleased to say, have generated firm orders." The latest saws include the "revolutionary" Kaltenbach KBS1051 DG, the "world's fastest structural steel mitring bandsaw" (it auto-senses and adjusts band-cutting angle during the cutting cycle) and the Behringer HBM-SC, which is claimed to be the industry's fastest straight-cutting bandsaw by some margin. "Stockholders are reporting at least a 30% production gain using our latest Behringer HBM-SC (Speed Cutting) bandsaws, over their previous Behringer saws, which, until now, had been considered the fastest available by some margin. A performance gain the competitive stockholding sector really values," concludes Mr Rooney. The HBM-SC range tackles stock diameters of 800, 540, 440 and 370 mm, with ferrous and non-ferrous options.
