Purpose/Task

— With the increase in projects, there was a need to improve operational efficiency.

- Band saw cutting has lower cutting accuracy compared to metal saw blade cutting, and welding work
There were some difficult moments.

The small, manual metal saw blade cutting machine that was being used was showing signs of age and deterioration.


effect

- Semi-automation allows other tasks to be performed in parallel while cutting is in progress.

— The blade descends vertically, achieving high-precision cutting suitable for welding.

The reason for introducing the DM-400 semi-automatic metal saw blade cutting machine.

Apparently, they previously used a band cutting and a small manual metal saw blade cutting to cutting pipes.
While the number of projects was increasing, cutting with a band saw was not precise enough, making welding difficult. In addition, considering the aging of their existing metal saw blade cutting machine and the need to improve work efficiency, they considered introducing a semi-automatic machine instead of a manual one.

They contacted us through our website, and after a demonstration, they decided to implement our system.

[The deciding factor]

① It can be cutting semi-automatically with the push of a button.
② It still supports miter cutting, just like before.

Benefits of introducing the DM-400 semi-automatic metal saw blade cutting machine

Usage: cutting square pipes used for signs (signboards)
Frequency of use: 2-3 days a week

merit

01

Business efficiency

The shift from manual to semi-automatic operation has made it possible to carry out other tasks even while cutting is in progress. Life-Way Co., Ltd. has intentionally set cutting speed to a slower setting and performs welding work after cutting has started, thus efficiently operating the system by parallelizing tasks.

02

Improved cutting accuracy

We received praise for achieving extremely high precision because the LM guide allows the saw blade to descend vertically. It also securely holds the material in place during cutting, eliminating any worry of slippage.

We use metal saw blade cutting to cutting pipes and other materials used for welding, while we use band saws to cutting angles and other materials that don't require high precision in bundles. By using different equipment in this way, we achieve both precision and work efficiency.

We launched the service at the beginning of 2026, and it has been operating smoothly from the start.


Life Way Co., Ltd. approaches its current work with integrity and values a customer-first philosophy.
To maintain this stance, they plan to focus on human resource development and automation of machinery in the future.

We will continue to offer suggestions and support to contribute to the further development of the company.
