Precision circular saw for the best results: our RKA models
Precisely saw solid metal, profiles and tubes
RKA 91, 92 and 94 precision circular saws from Rohbimax, with their precisely-matched jaws, are also suitable for sawing rods with complex external geometries using multiple clamps. Prismatic clamps are used for sawing tubes in bundles, so that the machine achieves high performance, low-burr cuts, and precise lengths down to a precision of ± 0,02 mm. The RKA precision circular saw is controlled using a Siemens S7-1512SP F PLC operating panel. You easily and intuitively define the programming and operation of the system.
| Model | Direct stroke | Material stroke drive |
|---|---|---|
| RKA 91 | 150mm | Pneumatic with cylinder |
| RKA 92 | 600mm | Ball caster spindle, AC servomotor |
| RKA 94 | 1200mm | Ball bearing spindle, AC servomotor |
RKA precision circular saw technical specifications
The circular sawblade of our precision circular saw is driven by a step-less, controllable servomotor. We use a three-speed gear spindle for powerful cuts at lower speeds. We use a high speed spindle for processing at higher cutting speeds. This allows customers to work with HSS or solid carbide sawblades. The teach-in process captures the height of the rods to the circular sawblade and can be programmed for five different speeds per saw cut. A pneumohydraulic drive with a proportional valve pushes the saw head and linear guides, which increases precision. The path measuring system is integrated in the guide. The material feeder is driven by an AC servomotor and a ball caster spindle. Positioning is achieved with precise linear guides. The direct stroke length is 600 mm. The sawing head guides are lubricated by pneumatic central lubrication. The sawblade is either cooled and lubricated by flow cooling or a minimal volume lubrication system.
Extensive accessories for RKA precision circular saws
When purchasing Rohbimax automated sawing machines, you can purchase accessories to automate the sawing process. This includes, for example, roller tracks for manual material feed; horizontal or vertical loading magazines for automatic material feeds; removing or handling devices for efficient and gentle removal and fast additional processing of blanks and shavings vacuuming for a clean production environment and to reduce machine cleaning effort.
