INTEGRATED SAWING,
MACHINING CENTER
Rattunde Corp. has introduced the ACS +
CFMcurve integrated sawing and machining
center for the tubing and solid bar industry.
The ACS sawing function uses electronics, servomotors, and custom-developed
software to control the saw blade during the
cutting process. A proprietary sawing algorithm yields fast saw cutting time, good surface finish, and long saw blade life, the company says.
The CFMcurve machining center is a
patented process that simultaneously
machines each workpiece end using 12 independent, servo-controlled axes. Machining
options include threading, boring, profile
turning, grooving, radius edges, and angled
chamfering. Programming screens guide
operators for simplified setup on even complex part geometry. No special programming
is required.
Precision parts are made in one continuous process with no operator intervention.
Bundles of mill-length stock, up to 54.13 ft.
long, are placed in an automatic loader, individually separated, and fed to the sawing
process. Cut parts are transferred to the
machining center for finishing.
All critical sawing and machining parameters are monitored and controlled.
Clamping forces and position, saw blade
torque and vibration, and machining insert
torque are continuously displayed and monitored. Operating limits are set, and machine
functions stop when they are not met. Key
data for each part produced is stored in
memory for statistical evaluation.

OXYGEN MONITOR
Aquasol Corp. offers the OX™-100X oxygen monitor. It measures oxygen concentration with 0.01 percent resolution and
automatically calibrates the ambient oxygen level.
The unit allows the welder to monitor
the purge gas flow rate and purge period.
The design provides one-touch operation.
