the purpose

- To meet the high standards of our customers, we maintain quality while achieving short delivery times for processing and shipping.

- Promote productivity improvement through capital investment to win new orders

assignment

- There was variation in dimensional accuracy, which created quality issues

- Consumables had to be replaced frequently, which was costly and time-consuming.

effect

-Improved cutting accuracy allows for flexible response to customer requests

- PROFICUT cutting program for fast quotes and efficient cutting

- Automatic scrap discharge and clamping function reduce the need to replace consumables

About Nikko Tsuchiura Sales Office

Nikko Co., Ltd. has offices all over the country and is involved in the wholesale and processing of steel pipes. The Tsuchiura office mainly cuts frames for construction and agricultural machinery. Conveniently located about 15 minutes from the Tsuchiura Kita Interchange on the Joban Expressway, the office can cover the entire eastern part of Japan. In addition, all transportation of processed products within the factory and loading onto trucks is done by forklift, ensuring both safety and speed.

The Tsuchiura Sales Office currently uses four fully automatic metal saw blade cutting machines manufactured by Kaltenbach, which are sold by our company. Two of them have been updated to the latest model, the KKS463, and another one is scheduled to be updated next year.

This time, we talked about the differences and advantages of this model compared to the previous model, KKS401.

Reason for introducing a fully automatic metal saw blade cutting machine

Nikko Tsuchiura Office places importance on "how to respond to customers' high level of requests.
The previous fully automatic metal saw blade cutting machine (KKS401) was introduced to improve the production efficiency of miter cutting. Before that, they had been performing miter cutting manually, but machine automation was essential to maintain high quality and short delivery times for processing and shipping.

As of 2024, the latest model, KKS463, is being updated to meet the aging of the previous model and to attract more customers. A virtuous cycle has been created in which we actively invest in equipment to improve efficiency and labor savings, and respond to customer requests, which leads to new orders.

The decision to update to the latest model was based on the materialfeed, ,cutting One unit with one carry-out(high rigidity of the trinity), and they move in tandem.Minimal dimensional deviationsPoints,Process time to cut out productis significantly shortenedThe point that the size of the lens was 150 mm in the past.Cost can be cut down to 10 mm minimum residual materialpointHe said that the "big

cutting What is efficiency improvement?
① Material feed, cutting, and unloading mechanism (high rigidity)Ya*Variable cutting mechanismSignificantly shortens the process time of cutting out the product
②Automatic length measurement of material widthBy doing so, it achieves much higher dimensional accuracy than the previous model.
(3) Automatic scrap discharge function and vertical clamping that moves in conjunction with the saw bladeReduction of the number of replacements of consumables, etc.

The efficiency improvements in (1) to (3) above have made it possible to shorten the delivery time compared to before.
In addition, thanks to the high-performance PROFICUT cutting program, when a request for a miter cutting comes,Automatically calculate the optimal Cutting parameterTherefore, it is possible to submit a quick estimate and build a lean cutting process.You can sell at a fair priceHe said.In addition, the feed, cutting, and unloading units of the material are combined into one (trinity mechanism) to grip both ends of the material and carry out the loading and unloading, so the steel pipe does not float or shift at an angle, and the accuracy has improved significantly cutting.

*Variable cutting mechanism... Efficient cutting is achieved by varying the cutting speed to match the shape of the material.
For example, for a round pipe, the speed is controlled so that the first and last parts of the material are slower, and the cavities are cutting faster.

■ High-performance PROFICUT cutting program display

Operation input is possible via touch panel. This is not the XYZ coordinate input used in typical NC machine tools (machines that require complex programming).

You can also visually check cutting sequence in advance, reducing input errors.

It can automatically calculate the best way to minimize waste from one piece of material. You can also check how many pieces of material are needed based on the number of products in the order.

The upper vertical clamp rotates in conjunction with the saw blade, reducing the number of times the blade needs to be replaced.

Polygonal cut sample

The Tsuchiura Sales Office plans to further expand and automate its facilities in the future. By automating the inspection and deburring that are currently done by hand, they will be able to shorten delivery times while further improving quality, without changing their customer-first approach.
If you have any problems with steel materials or processing, why not give us a call and ask for advice? I'm sure you'll meet kind and polite people.

We would like to do our utmost to assist Nikko Co., Ltd. and the Tsuchiura Sales Office in improving their operations and services.
