Sawtec 2.0 – saws with replaceable teeth
Austrian carbide and tool special- ist Boehlerit, whose development expertise is based on its close connection to the steel indus- try, is exploring new paths when it comes to sawing and will be launching the “Sawtec 2.0” tool system with replaceable teeth, an intelligent, next-generation machining solution, in May 2020.
Saw blades are used by the met- al-processing industry all over the world for separating rods, blocks, pipes, rails and profiles. In most cases, saw teeth are welded on, which is labour-intensive and costly especially for large saw
diameters, given the need for re-sharpening and the logistics involved.
Kapfenberg-based development pioneer Boehlerit has reacted to this situation by creating the innovative “SawTec 2.0” tool system, which offers a solution for large-diameter saw blades, using screw-mounted, replacea- ble saw teeth. A tangible benefit of this product is that the screw- mounted carbide saw teeth of the SawTec 2.0 are easy and quick to exchange. The patented “SawLock®” clamping system ensures stability, efficiency, preci-
sion and a high degree of flexibil- ity. A range of tooth geometries are available to enable users to choose the right blade for steel, stainless steel and highly heat-re- sistant steel, depending on the material to be sawn.
The initial programme will consist of replaceable teeth with a width of 9mm, in three cutting geome- tries (SP, SM, SS) and two cutting grades (BCP40X and BCM40X), suitable for all standard steel, stainless steel and highly heat-re- sistant alloys. The replaceable teeth come with a state-of-the-art coating that increases the cutting surfaces by up to 200% in m2, while increasing the cutting speed at the same time. Saw blades are available in a diameter range of 600 to 1500mm, with the drilling hole for holding the spindle being executed according to customer requirements.
Users who need to keep an eye on costs for their sawing operations and are looking for a cost-effec- tive solution will make the right choice with the “Sawtec 2.0” tool system with replaceable teeth by Boehlerit!
