Prior to the arrival of a
Loroch K850 Solution
circular saw blade grinding
centre from Vollmer,
Coventry-based KR Saws
required two machines to
produce a finished saw blade.

Blades would be profile
ground on one machine and
then transferred to a second
to complete the bevelled top
geometry. The Loroch K850
has improved production
cycle times and tooth
geometry accuracy with its
ability to grind the teeth and
bevels in one set-up.

Paul Ison, MD, says: “The
5-axis Loroch has a CAD
facility on the machine that
enables us to design any form
or geometry at the machine.

This allows us to offer
solutions specific to each
customer application to
enhance their productivity.”
