Used Machinery: Sawing machines

Sawing - a matter of separation

The saws belong in the field of manufacturing technology. The upper category can also be referred to as a “cutting process”, in this case cutting using as a process of making chips. As a rule, the rotating sawing tool removes material from the stationary workpiece. The movement (feed) is carried out either by the workpiece or by the sawing tool. Usually this is done until complete separation. In the case of band or wire saws, however, the cutting course of the sawing can also follow a contour. Furthermore, incomplete separations, that is to say incisions, are also conceivable.

The concept of the saw not only includes machine tools but also the motor-driven hand saws with multifunctionality for wood, steel and stone, known from everyday life and craft. The hand-held circular saw or the jigsaw are universal machines in which the material to be sawed is only determined by the choice of tool.

Now we come to the structure and the most important components of a saw (the machine tool is meant here). First of all, the frame should be mentioned here. This carries all important components such as spindle, drives, clamping devices, slide, tools, table and the weight of the workpieces.

When it comes to automation, a lot is also possible with the saws. This development continues step by step from the simple circular saw with manual feed to the automated control of the axes and spindles (CNC control) and the automatic saws. In the end, the simple saw can become a sawing center.

The classification of the categories for saws

At tramao we have decided on the following categorization of saws in the field of metal processing:

• Automatic band saws
• Horizontal band saws
• Vertical band saws
• Hacksaws
• Wire saws
• Circular saws
• Metal band saws
• Automatic saws
• Sawing centers
• Other saws

But also in the area of woodworking machines we have created a category for saws on tramao:

• Band saws
• Firewood saws
• Hacksaws
• CNC automatic saws
• Scroll saws
• Double edging circular saws
• Panel saws
• Frame saws
• Miter saws
• Hand band saws
• Circular saws
• Chop saws
• Chainsaws
• Circular saws
• Power saws
• Panel saws
• Roller table saws
• Reciprocating saws
• Automatic saws
• Other saws
• Jigsaws
• Table saws
• Tilting saws

The variety of saws in the field of wood processing machines is much more extensive than in the field of metals.

A saw can also belong to several categories. For example, a band saw can also be CNC-controlled. This is why it is possible on tramao.de to assign more than just one category to a machine. However, a maximum of three categories per saw are possible.

Saws - represented in many categories

All machining centers, including those that include sawing functions, are grouped together on tramao.de in a separate "Machining Centers" category. The machining centers, which can also include sawing functions, include, for example, rotary transfer machines (revolving machines).

The advantages of the sawing centers or the automatic saws lie in the economical production of large numbers of pieces with constant quality, as well as a plannable production with constant set-up and production costs.

There are many classic areas of application for saws. It starts in small workshops with conventional machines and ends with complex workpieces in interlinked production systems, where maximum precision is also required from the saw.

There is no typical user who uses the saw. The skilled private citizen needs these machines just like the craft or the industry.

A large number of materials can of course also be processed by sawing. Examples are metal, wood, plastic, ceramic, glass or composite materials. As a rule, the machines can be used universally and the adaptation to the material to be sawed takes place through the choice of the tool, the feed rate and the speed of the saw blade or the speed of the saw band.
