<strong>KASTO</strong>speed: High-Performance Automatic Circular Sawing<br />
Machines for Economical Cutting of Large Batches of Steel<br />
and Non-Ferrous Metals.
High-Performance at a Rapid Pace<br />
Fully Automatic Circular Saws, <strong>KASTO</strong>speed Series<br />
<strong>KASTO</strong>speed: Fast and precise<br />
cutting of large batches.<br />
<strong>KASTO</strong>speed 9: for material<br />
cross-sections up to<br />
90 mm (3 1 ⁄2”).<br />
<strong>KASTO</strong>speed C 9 with tilting table for cut-off pieces up to<br />
1000 mm (40”) and a container for trim cuts and remnant ends<br />
Experts count on <strong>KASTO</strong>’s competence. Metal impact plants, forge<br />
shops, manufacturers of fittings and electrical parts, steel service<br />
centers and almost every automotive supplier use the services of<br />
<strong>KASTO</strong>speed when cutting sections of steel and non-ferrous metals.<br />
These automatic circular saws satisfy because of minimal cycle times<br />
and they produce millions of accurate cut-off pieces during two or<br />
three-shift operations per year. Thanks to their high reliability and<br />
precision in continuous operation, the <strong>KASTO</strong>speed automatic circular<br />
saws are worldwide one of the top-selling, mass-cutting circular saws<br />
of their kind.<br />
Large-scale production in continuous operation is accomplished by<br />
the <strong>KASTO</strong>speed 9 when producing cut-off pieces of steel and<br />
non-ferrous metals with a material cross-section up to a diameter<br />
of 90 mm (3½”). According to the chips produced by the cutting<br />
action of the material and the product requirements, HSS solid steel<br />
or carbide one-way saw blades with appropriate cutting speeds are<br />
used. The optimal position of the saw carriage and the four-point<br />
material clamping device enable shortest cutting paths. For the<br />
handling of bars and cut-off pieces, different possibilities are offered.<br />
The saws can be interlinked to storage systems and machining<br />
centers.

<strong>KASTO</strong> Technology: Powerful<br />
solutions for high profitability.<br />
<strong>KASTO</strong>speed 15: For material<br />
cross-sections up to 150 mm<br />
(6 1 ⁄2”).<br />
<strong>KASTO</strong>speed sawing machines for large batches set the pattern<br />
for mass cutting of steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. Solid high<br />
speed steel (HSS) and carbide-tipped saw blades are used according<br />
to the application. This guarantees highest chip production<br />
because of the rugged machine construction. Further advantages<br />
of the <strong>KASTO</strong>speed: short cycle times due to the fast bar pusher<br />
carriage as well as the hydraulically cushioned length gauge.<br />
<strong>KASTO</strong>speed 15 automatic circular saws fulfill the highest requirements<br />
in power and efficiency when cutting steel with tensile<br />
strengths up to approx. 1.400 N/mm (200,000 psi) also highalloyed<br />
steel using one-way carbide saw blades and HSS solid saw<br />
blades. The model M15 is used for cutting non-ferrous metals with<br />
HSS or carbide tipped saw blades. The solid machine construction<br />
with its helical high-performance saw carriage gearing in combination<br />
with a hydraulically cushioned length gauge and a fast positioning<br />
bar pushing carriage guarantees highest production performance<br />
for precise cut-off pieces. Additionally to the standard<br />
equipment, extensive customer-oriented peripheral solutions are<br />
available for the efficient processing of your cutting requirements.<br />
For easy and clear input of cutting jobs a user-friendly programmable<br />
controller with operator interface panel is integrated.
Manually adjustable length gauge, e.g. with 1000 mm (40”)<br />
cut-off length<br />
NC length gauge for cut-off lengths up to 1000 mm (40”)<br />
(option), alternatively available for 2000 mm (80”) (option)<br />

Equipment Details and Accessories<br />
Material infeed adapted to the<br />
cutting task.<br />
Outfeed and sorting without<br />
an operator – important<br />
precondition for an effective<br />
handling.<br />
Chip disposal and environmental<br />
protection.<br />
Bundle loader with material in<br />
loading position.<br />
Tilting table for long cut-off pieces.<br />
In order to store large numbers of bars on the infeed side of the<br />
machine, different kinds of magazines are available. Starting<br />
with the inclined magazine on which one layer of material is<br />
pre-stored, bundle loader on which one bundle is singled fully<br />
automatically, or flat magazine for square and special profiles<br />
as well as for surface-sensitive materials, different accessories<br />
are available for an extended operation with limited operator<br />
involvement. With the direct supply out of a <strong>KASTO</strong> storage<br />
system, several material bundles can be processed fully automatically<br />
one after the other.<br />
Trim cuts and remnants are separated from the good pieces at the<br />
outfeed side. According to the cut-off length and cutting task a<br />
sorting slide or a tilting table can be offered. More containers for<br />
good cut-off pieces can optionally be positioned in the discharge<br />
area. An even higher grade of automation offers a robot sorting<br />
device which stacks the parts with different grippers according to<br />
the cutting requirement into customer-provided containers.<br />
For the disposal of chips produced during cutting, sturdy chip<br />
conveyors as well as powerful suction units of different designs<br />
are available. Electrostatic air filters are also available for reduction<br />
of coolant emission fumes.<br />

Qualified Advice, Reliable Service:<br />
Success Factors for a Long-Term, Efficient Installation.<br />
The competence for solutions<br />
does not end with the sawing<br />
machine.<br />
Satisfied customers are no<br />
coincidence.<br />
Competent advice is available at the beginning to assure a successful<br />
application of <strong>KASTO</strong>speed circular sawing machines and is based on<br />
extensive technology, cutting trials, and long-term experience in all<br />
different kinds of applications. For this reason other functions such as<br />
material infeed, material supply out of storage systems, and fully automatic<br />
sorting and stacking of cut-off pieces by robot are used. Longterm<br />
advantage – also with later adaptations and supplements – is the<br />
machine control developed by <strong>KASTO</strong> operating with established<br />
industrial hardware.<br />
Training towards the success of our customer’s installation is a<br />
company policy of <strong>KASTO</strong>. Therefore service is an important part<br />
of a long-term partnership for a durable efficiency and reliability of<br />
<strong>KASTO</strong> products. Often a problem can be solved by the machine<br />
operators after an advisory service by phone. Supply and shipment<br />
of spare parts is normally carried out the same day of the malfunction<br />
notice. Competent help on site, when required, is performed<br />
by especially trained service technicians.
