Shinora SR2 CNC Rack Cutting Machine fully rebuilt for Sale Maximum Cutting Length 1500mm, Maximum Module 8 Suitable for Spur & Helical Racks ( 30 deg ) , Siemens 3 Axis CNC Control W.E SYKES GB LTD contact: ++ 44 (0) 7860 345 343 [email protected] With 1,450 employees worldwide and a turnover in excess of €2bn, the Carl Spaeter Group is a leading steel distributor that has remained a family business since its inception in 1875. Its facility in Hamburg, Germany has recently invested in a new sawing centre comprising two Behringer mitre bandsaw lines and two Behringer Eisele high-speed circular saws. With the new sawing lines, the leading steel distributor in the north of Germany has improved its efficiency and expanded its service portfolio. The centrepiece of the system – the high-speed HCS 150 E circular saw – is Behringer’s allrounder for the steel distribution sector and impresses with high cutting quality and efficiency, even for regularly changing raw materials. With a 12m long flat magazine with integrated prestorage and active remnant storage, Behringer Eisele has implemented a universal solution for almost all profile shapes processed by Carl Spaeter in Hamburg. The circular sawing system also offers flexibility on the disposal side for the extensive requirements of the steel trade. Very short trim cuts, remnants and short parts up to 10kg and 12-150mm in diameter are disposed of directly at the saw via a chute/sorting switch. Longer cuts are moved to three different push-off positions by the combination of disposal tongs and link belt conveyor. In addition, trim cuts and remnants can be disposed at the end of the belt. The significant increase in productivity with the HCS 150 E allows Carl Spaeter Hamburg to reduce processing times from several days to just a few hours. The sawing solution is also extremely flexible and makes it possible to process a wide range of orders with cut-off lengths of 12 - 4,500mm without operator intervention. In addition to the automated HCS sawing system, Carl Spaeter also makes effective use of Behringer’s compact BTS 460 NC carbide circular saw. With the help of a jib crane, the parts can be removed from the deposit and placed directly on the BTS fixture. In this particular application, a chamfer is then sawn into the material. A process that was outsourced in the past can now be realised in-house to high quality standards. Via a powerful sawing unit from the HCS series, servodriven workpiece clamping and individual fixture options, Carl Spaeter in Hamburg is ideally equipped for a wide range of applications with the BTS. The Behringer Group is one of the world’s few leading full-range suppliers of highperformance band and circular saw technologies, sheet metal and profile processing machines and corresponding transport systems. Behringer’s second mainstay is its own iron foundry which not only supplies parts for its own machine production, but also customers from the German mechanical engineering sector. In the UK, handling sales and service, Behringer Ltd operates from its showroom facility in Pitstone, Bedfordshire. n Behringer UK www.behringerltd.co.uk New circular sawing line for steel distribution
