“As the company that introduced a new breed of metal sawing machinery to the UK all those years ago,” comments managing director, Gary Knight, “it seemed only fitting that we should use MACH ‘16 to both celebrate our 60 years in business – and showcase some of the very latest cutting innovations.”
Addison Saws will be demonstrating a wide range of automated sawing solutions, a high-speed Mecal MC 307 Falcon 4-axis CNC machining centre and a CSM all-electric hybrid push bender from sister company Tubefab.
Believed to be the fastest aluminium machining centres of its kind, the Mecal MC 307 Falcon has an X-axis traverse speed of 150 m/m – almost double that of the nearest rival. Other standard features include five automatic, individually motorised vices and an A-axis profile rotation from +135° to -135° for working three sides of each component. Fibre optic communication ensures rapid data transfer between PLC controls, while absolute smart motor servo drives deliver precise performance.
The saws on display at Addison’s MACH 16 stand will include the all-new Everising H460 HB NC fully automatic enclosed bandsaw, a large-capacity Tronzadoras TL600 semi-automatic rising blade aluminium mitre saw, and the Tronzadoras GAA350 TR12 CNC aluminium vertical cut-off saw with Y-axis drilling capability. A newly released IMET twin pillar semi-automatic bandsaw will also be on show, as will IMET’s revised SIRIO 370 vertical action cold saw, and its new X Smart fully enclosed bandsaw – a heavy duty machine purpose-built for cutting cast iron, steel and high-strength steels. “We are looking to include the widest range of innovative, new technologies,” says Gary Knight. “So one or two models may be switched in the run up to the show.”
A CSM 50TBRE multi-stack, 4-axis all-electric hybrid tube bender from Tubefab will also be on display. Tubefab’s range of CSM benders, from basic 3-axis hydraulic models to sophisticated, 11-axis, all-electric machines, offer linear accuracy to 0.01 mm.
The Addison Saws product range has recently been increased with the addition of heavy duty 3, 3+1, 4 & 5-axis long-bed multi-piece machining centres. Addison Saws is part of the Addison Group, an organisation that also includes sawblade re-manufacturing specialist Dynashape, and tube-bending technology specialist, Tubefab.
