KASTO TEC AC 5

It is an open secret that the economical use of automatic saw machines consists of two things: high metal cutting performance on the one hand and low non-productive times on the other. KASTOtec AC has been developed for optimal use of the most widely available bimetal, bimetal plus, carbide and carbide tool technologies on the market. In this way, optimal productivity is achieved with higher cutting performance and more economical use of carbide bands. The control system used on the machine allows automatic assignment and long-term storage of the cutting technology adapted to the respective qualities of the material and the saw blade used (bimetal or carbide). This not only reduces tooling costs, but also results in significantly shorter cutting times – depending on the saw band, savings of 50% or more are possible.
