KALTENBACH, a provider of steel processing and conservation systems, will present its latest innovation, the KKS 463 NA | KD- 140 saw-drill line, at the trade show.
“ This versatile all-round machine combines all essential processing steps in one compact system which is capable of handling various steel shapes, especially in the smaller-dimension range. With the new saw-drill line, steel-processing companies can handle nearly all materials and profile shapes: from round material with diameters as small as 15mm to special profiles up to 140 x 140mm or flat material up to 240mm wide. Mitre cuts of up to ± 20 ° make the machine highly versatile,” it explained.
“ The technology enables fully automated drilling, milling, threadcutting, flow drilling, and marking on all four sides of the profile. Remnant lengths of less than 15mm ensure maximum material utilisation,” it added.
