KastoWin Pro AC 5.6 bandsaw offers short cutting times, long blade life and intuitive operation

Kasto has introduced the KastoWin Pro AC 5.6 bandsaw, said to offer short cutting times, long blade life and intuitive operation.

The automatic KastoWin Pro AC 5.6 is designed for use with either a bi-metal or TCT blade, and is suited to applications that include solid material, tubes and profiles. An important feature of the bandsaw is its electro-mechanical down-feed. This is controlled using two ballscrews (each with a servo drive) for precise, infinitely variable control. In addition, there is a retraction unit for separating the blade from the material to protect the cut surface when the saw head moves back.

The machine delivers cutting speeds from 12 to 150 m/min, while its maximum cutting capacity is 560 mm and the smallest dimension that can be cut is 25 by 25 mm. The shortest residual length is 10 mm for individual offcuts and 35 mm in automatic operation.
