Immediate quality production increase with Mtm Flying cut-off machine A-100

ET a Italian Company specialized in producing longitudinal welded steel tubes – partner of a German world leading company for modular pipework systems, since 1924, with subsidiaries in Germany, France, the United Kingdom and the USA and a net distribution all over the world – aims to boost its production output for more competitive markets satisfying any customers’ needs.

As part of its strategic program to supply customized longitudinally welded tubes with specific characteristics and tolerances, the company contracted Officine M.T.M. S.p.A. for a high-speed Flying Cut Off Cold Saw for its tube mill line.

Since MTM Flying Cut Off A100 CS SPL commissioning at their plant, the Customer has immediately achieved the cutting quality and the increasing of the productivity results.

The new unit also features important technical innovations, which allow to cut high tensile strength material with the highest quality and precision at any working speed. This model MTM Flying Cut Off A100 CS SPL belongs to single blade cold saw cut-off family with a range coverage from 25 mm to 160mm. It is equipped with extremely versatile and icon-based software, enabling an operator to optimize speed and type of blade for any production size.

Officine M.T.M. S.p.A has been specializing in flying cut-off units for over 40 years, offering a wide range of models, custom designed with special attention on high precision and perfect quality in-line cut without vibrations and able to guarantee the highest life of the blades.

TIGER 372 CNC LR 4.0, automatic electromechanical vertical sawing machine with HSS blade

TIGER 372 CNC LR 4.0, automatic electromechanical vertical sawing machine with HSS blade which can operate also in semi-automatic mode, to cut steels from -45° to +60°.

– CNC machine with a new controller: MEP 40.

It has been specifically designed by MEP for the automation of its range of products, to obtain, on the same bar or on the material located on the loading magazine CB6001 (OPTIONAL), up to 300 cutting programs each of different lengths and quantities.

– The headstroke, according to the dimensions of the material which has to be cut, is set directly from the control panel.

– Transmission system at 3 stages so as to guarantee high sturdiness, precision and to obtain high removal capacities.

– Bar feeder vice with sideways movement so as to feed in also deformed bars.

– Model with complete covering so as to reach 3 fundamental aims:

+ Operator’s safety (during working cycles, access to cutting area is hindered by a timed opening system).

+ Sound-proofness.
+ Possibility to work with high quantity of cutting liquid (120 liters/min) to cool blade, to wash the working area continuously and to convey chips guaranteeing in this way longer blade life.

Band saw KASTOmiwin

KASTO is introducing a new range of saws. The Two-column guided band saw KASTOmiwin for straight and miter cutting in steel trade and workshop.

This two-column guided band saw for single cuts and miter jobs (-45 ° / + 60 °) is characterized by a frequency-controlled, infinitely adjustable blade speed (12-150 m / min), a cutting strip, which is turning with the saw head, of wear-resistant spring steel as Material support, an electric motor-driven saw feed and a hydrau-lic material clamping. The hydraulic material clamping is automatically hydraulically shifted depending on the positive or negative cutting angle.

All advantages at a glance: Fast, accurate material feed with gear rack. No wear of the material support due to swinging support table right next to the sawblade. Low burr formation. Exact parallel material clamping due to movable vice. Parts can’t jam (Wedge). Optimized cutting times through KASTOrespond. Constant saw feed by means of ball screw spindle. Electrically powered chip removal brush. Low torsional load (bladetwist) on the sawblade for a long bladelife. Automatic electric guidearm adjustment. Accurate mitre positioning.

Enjoy a dream stay in nature hidden in a “tube”

Yes, there is the Tubohotel. In Mexico, in the garden of Tepotzotlán, half an hour away from the capital Mexico City, there is a hotel immersed in nature, where one sleeps in concrete tubes stacked in pyramids.

The Tubohotel has 20 rooms, each measuring 2.44 m wide by 3.5 m long. Each room, that is each tube, can accommodate two people and has a large bed that takes up almost the entire suite; however, there is no space for indoor bathrooms, but guests have access to two common services.
