This article will introduce you to metal cutting saws and their applications
As an important equipment in the metal processing industry, metal cutting saws have achieved many technological breakthroughs in recent years. These innovations are designed to meet the manufacturing industry’s demand for higher precision, faster cutting speeds and lower energy consumption.
1.Breakthrough in high-speed cutting technology
The new generation of sawing machines has introduced high-speed cutting technology, which has significantly increased the cutting speed by optimizing the cutting blade design and power system. For example, sawing machines launched by sawing machine manufacturers Kasto and Amada use super-hard alloy saw blades, which have increased the cutting speed by more than 30% and extended the blade life.
2.Intelligent control system
Intelligence is injecting new vitality into the sawing industry. Modern metal sawing machines are equipped with CNC (computer numerical control) systems, which can realize automatic programming of complex cutting trajectories. Many devices also integrate Internet of Things (IoT) functions, which monitor the status of equipment in real time through cloud connection, provide fault diagnosis and maintenance suggestions, and significantly improve the operating efficiency of the production line.
3.Application of energy-saving and environmental protection technologies
Under the general trend of green manufacturing, energy-saving sawing machines are becoming mainstream. Some sawing machines are equipped with high-efficiency motors and energy recovery systems, which can reduce energy consumption by more than 20%. At the same time, the improvement of the coolant circulation system reduces liquid waste and meets environmental protection regulations.
4.Multifunctional design
In order to meet the needs of different industries, the versatility of sawing machines has been enhanced. For example, multi-purpose sawing machines that can cut both carbide and soft metals have appeared on the market. These devices are equipped with adjustable cutting angles and multiple speed modes, which can easily cope with complex metal processing tasks.
5.Modular and compact design
The modular design makes the installation and maintenance of the equipment easier, while the compact body meets the space requirements of small and medium-sized processing workshops. Many manufacturers have begun to use lightweight materials, making the sawing machine easier to transport and relocate while ensuring stability.
Introduction of common metal sawing machines
name | picture | introduce |
Circular saw machine | ![]() |
The circular saw machine uses a motor to drive the circular saw blade to rotate at high speed to cut the workpiece. The saw blade contacts the workpiece during the cutting process and separates the material through sharp teeth. According to the processing requirements, the cutting speed, angle and depth of the saw blade can be adjusted to achieve a variety of complex cutting tasks. There are four main types of circular saw machines: manual circular saw machine, semi-automatic circular saw machine, fully automatic circular saw machine and high-speed circular saw machine. If you have any questions, please contact Shanghai ANTISHICNC engineers to give you the correct selection. |
Band saw machine | ![]() |
Band saw is a machine tool that uses a circular saw belt as a cutting tool. It is widely used in metal processing, wood processing and other material cutting due to its high efficiency, flexibility and wide applicability. Band saw achieves cutting through the continuous circulation of the saw belt, and is suitable for straight cutting, large material segmentation and curve cutting tasks. |
