KastoGripspeed C10 cuts to length solids, tubes and profiles automatically

The high performance KastoGripspeed C10 is designed to process materials up to a tensile strength of 1,400 N/mm2. Tungsten carbide tipped saw blades of 360 mm dia, and either 2.5 or 2 mm thick, minimise the kerf and hence the amount of metal lost as swarf. For some materials, coated or cermet blades can be used which have the advantage that thin or thin-walled materials can be cut safely and efficiently, expanding the machine's range of applications. Particularly helpful here is the infinitely adjustable workpiece clamping with a force of 2 to 12.5 kN for safely securing thin-walled tubes and profiles. Cutting range of the saw is from 15 to 100 mm diameter for rounds or up to 80 mm for square stock. The smallest cut-piece length is 8 mm, while remnant length is only 65 mm. Material feed stroke is 500 mm, or up to 9,999 mm with multiple feed. Saw drive power is high at 11 kW for efficient cutting of all type of material. In-feed speed ranges from 10 to 4,000 mm/min and is infinitely variable. The same is true for blade speed, which is adjustable from 17 to 175 m/min. A 10 m/min rapid lift of the saw blade at the end of each cutting cycle contributes to short idle time. Kasto offers a wide range of roller conveyors and inclined magazines for bar lengths up to 12 m to maximise productivity. As an alternative to inclined magazines, loaders are available for bundles up to a maximum of 5 tonnes. There are also flat and universal magazines for rectangular and profile materials or for fully automatic processing of cutting orders of small to medium batch sizes. Several possibilities are available for the out-feed side, including conveyors and various types of automated sorting systems.
