Vollmer unveils Loroch PowerStar 850 for circular saw blades

Vollmer has launched its Loroch PowerStar 850 for the manufacture of metal cutting circular saw blades. The PowerStar 850 has been developed for the precision processing of saw blades from 400 to 850 mm diameter.

Not only is the PowerStar 850 capable of machining HSS and segmental saw blades, it can also process friction and solid carbide saws. Utilising user-friendly symbols on a large colour touchscreen, all settings are available at a glance to enable changes to be made quickly and with confidence. With all rake and clearance angles for standard teeth readily available, the PowerStar 850 also indicates the optimal grinding speed required. Vollmer says that the PowerStar 850 incorporates a powerful direct drive for the grinding spindle as well as an expandable shaft for accepting the grinding wheel. This ensures that performance loss and unwanted vibration are eliminated.
