+/- .005” tolerance on width/length of saw-cut aluminum plate from .125” to 5” thickness up to 60” wide
+/- .010” tolerance on width/length of saw-cut aluminum plate from 6” to 8” thickness and over 60” wide
Best effort on tolerance for widths and lengths over 60″
Capacity to cut up to 168″ in length
Schelling Precision Saw
Our Schelling saw provides us with the most innovative developments in saw cutting available. This saw provides reliable and repeatable machine finish. The turntable bed allows us to process high volume requirments three times faster.
Capabilities:
8″ thick capacity in aluminum
+/- .005″ tolerance on width/length of saw-cut aluminum plate up to 60”
Best effort on tolerance for widths and lengths over 60”
Capacity to cut up to 168” length
Amada Precision Shears
For a fast and inexpensive way to cut aluminum sheet, stainless steel sheet or light gauge plate, our front and rear gauging hydraulic-operated shears can efficiently cut squares or rectangles per the customer’s request. The return conveyor and stacker enables us to process large production runs while protecting the material’s finish. The state-of-the-art design of these shears ensures reliable repeatability when cutting high production quantities.
Capabilities:
159″ max cut length
3/16″ stainless steel max thickness
39″ back gauge
12′ front gauge
+/- .015″ tolerance on thicknesses of 1/8″ and under
Elumatec Precision Bar Saws
Our Elumatec saws are our automatic cold cut saws perfect for high volume cutting of rod, bar and extrusion. The unique table separation design ensures a high quality finish.
Capabilities:
5″ height x 8″ width
+/- .005” tolerance on length
PRODUCTION PROCESSING EQUIPMENT:
Production Shears
Our production shears give us the ability to shear heavier gauge stock than our precision shears.
Capabilities:
144″ max cut length
3/8″ stainless steel and aluminum max thickness
48″ digital back guage
+ 1/8″, -0″ tolerance
Production Aluminum and Stainless Cut Off Saws
Our high-production, heavy-duty Spartan and Phoenix cut-off saws have a number of settings and guides to ensure straight, precise cuts. Material can be held on both sides of the blade to reduce vibration and minimize drop-off burr, and the wide range of speeds on these saws assures the fastest, most accurate and repeatable cutting performance possible.
Capabilities:
Cutting capability of up to 40″ diameters or 40″ x 40″ squares
Production Aluminum Bandsaws
Our high-production, heavy-duty Spartan and Phoenix cut-off saws have a number of settings and guides to ensure straight, precise cuts. Material can be held on both sides of the blade to reduce vibration and minimize drop-off burr, and the wide range of speeds on these saws assures the fastest, most accurate and repeatable cutting performance possible.
Capabilities:
