High-speed disc saws for forged material

The world of forging is highly intricate, involving numerous applications and constant evolution. Ficep says its caters to this sector with a range of machinery designed to meet all production needs: including an array of high-speed disc saws. These machines are suitable for many applications, particularly those requiring the cutting of bars, tubes, ingots or blooms. 

The ‘S’ series sawing machines include various models: horizontal, inclined and vertical saws, with cutting capabilities from below or above. All these machines can cut round and square solid bars, while vertical ones can also cut rectangular/flat bars.

Vincenzo Rubat Baleuri, sales manager of the forging division at Ficep, says: “Our machines guarantee repeatability, cutting precision, squareness and regularity of the sawn surface. This high standard is a real strength, achieved through careful design, optimal blade guidance and robust motor power.”

The ‘SP’ series stands out for its high-speed cutting of pipes.

“This range has been designed with special attention to sizing the crucial components to minimize blade vibrations,” he adds. “Special care has been given to fine-tuning the software managing the cutting parameters during the work cycle. This involves dynamically adjusting the blade rotation speed and the head feed during the pipe’s inlet-outlet phase, where the metal section engaged by the blade is greater compared with the central part [where thickness is minimal]. This also reduces cutting time. Our lines overcome the limitations of traditional disc or band saws, increasing productivity through their speed, precision, cut quality and reduction of production waste.”

Ficep can also combine its range of bar loaders with both automatic magazines and AGV shuttles for laser-guided transfer of bar bundles from steel stock to the machine roller-way.
