framag Industrieanlagenbau scores highly with customised solutions and process expertise
Robust machines with a high degree of automation and low maintenance costs this is what the cold circular saws from framag Industrieanlagenbau stand for. In actual fact, the Austrian high-tech company also scores highly with its customised solutions that represent excellent value.
With its large cold circular saws, framag Industrieanlagenbau ranks among the international elite. More and more companies around the world are relying on machines from the Upper Austrian company and on its extensive engineering expertise. One of these is SMS Group GmbH in the German town of Witten. The globally active mechanical engineering company has ordered two type KKS 1430 carbide billet sawing machines along with the entire periphery.
The framag machines are part of a major project for the production of railway wheels. The technology from Austria is ultimately destined for India final customer Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL) is one of the leading steel manufacturers in India and Asia Minor where it will be employed in producing wheels at the new plant in the northern Indian province of Uttar Pradesh from autumn 2018. The production facility has a capacity of 100,000 wheels per annum, extendible to 200,000 wheels per annum.
Customer-specific complete solution
The requirement for the framag machines: to saw ingots with a diameter of 350 to 500 millimetres to the intended length for the respective wheels all in a fully automated process. framag provided the entire system and its periphery, including all the engineering and software. Apart from the KKS 1430 saw and saw blades, the scope of supply also included the material support and the input roller table for materials handling, as well as the volume measurement unit, the material ejector with a transverse shunter, the weighing unit, the marking equipment and the materials scheduler for positioning parts ready for transfer with an automated gantry crane.
No machine off the shelf
framag has made a name for itself internationally as an expert in customised solutions. The focus with the system for the Indian company was also on a customer-specific solution and an individual layout of the entire saw line area. "Nothing in our saw line comes off the shelf," says Aleksandar Vujisic, Industrial Equipment Sales Manager, underlining framag's customer focus. "We produce completely tailored solutions for our customers, which are always aligned precisely with their requirements and also depend on how much space is available for the machine."
A worthwhile investment
The decision also fell in favour of framag due to the robustness of its machines, which is absolutely essential for three-shift operation in heavy industry. Only in this way can trouble-free use be guaranteed. "The high degree of automation and the robustness of the machines play an important role for our customers," says Aleksandar Vujisic. "Some framag machines have been operating flawlessly for as long as 25 years now. This is not at all unusual if they are serviced regularly also by framag specialists on request." The acquisition price is also relative, Aleksandar Vujisic adds, because the machines impress with a short payback period and a long service life. The service interval also speaks for the robustness and longevity of these machines: the system only requires maintenance once a year. Apart from that, the occasional replacement of saw blades and consumables suffices.
Setting its own high standards
As a modern high-tech company, framag works continuously on the further development of its products. One result of this is the innovative Hydropol material developed by framag a major advantage for framag machines. The unique level of vibration damping achieved through use of Hydropol enables high cutting speeds and longer saw blade service lives. Furthermore, the saw system is extremely torsion-resistant. An optimised effect on the source of the vibrations is also achieved by the patented moving saw blade damping system. The package is rounded off with a solid, torsionally stiff clamping fixture.
Process control included in the service
framag's service concept does not end with delivery of the machine to the customer: framag specialists also conduct the system commissioning and operator training. "A plus point that shouldn't be underestimated," says Aleksandar Vujisic. "We have everything available here in house not only expertise in manufacturing the saw, but also the no less important process expertise." All these points make framag a reliable, innovative and modern partner in plant and machine engineering, whose extensive technical expertise is appreciated worldwide.
