Optimization of machines and processes for series production and special applications

Sawing processes face high demands: Whether in large-scale production with challenging materials such as duplex steel or in specialized applications involving material compounds and composites — sawing technologies are often pushed to their technological limits. In many cases, the challenge is not the ability to cut but rather achieving sufficient cutting quality and tool life. Especially in series production, fast and reliable solutions are essential. With our many years of experience, advanced sensor technology (measuring temperature, forces, and vibrations), and detailed tool analysis (tool wear, stress state, circular runout), we support you in improving existing processes or introducing new ones into series production.

Case Study: Tool life optimization for circular saw blades

Tool life depends on a variety of process parameters. To avoid interrupting your running production, we replicate your process on our in-house equipment and investigate tailored process parameters under realistic conditions. Once validated, the improved parameters can be seamlessly transferred to your production line.

Case Study: Sawing of coated components

Sawing coated parts poses particular challenges: The coating must not be damaged or chipped during cutting. This requires sharp tools and precisely defined process parameters. Thanks to our process know-how and independent recommendations for alternative tools, we have successfully improved cutting quality and reduced scrap rates in several applications.

Case Study: Control signals and sensor integration in series production

Highly automated systems often include a wide range of sensors — such as motor current monitoring — which are rarely used to their full potential. For example, motor current signals, even in older systems, can provide valuable insights into tool wear. This enables predictive tool change scheduling, reducing reliance on operator experience and improving production planning.
