Circular saw cuts cycle times

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."
