Aluminium Cutting with XL package Specifically for cutting aluminium the BEHRINGER EISELE GmbH with the VA-L 560 NC2 has designed a sawing system that sets new standards. Both in solid material as well as in pipes and profiles with sophisticated crosssectional geometry, the powerful machine scores with unparalleled high output. The VA-L is designed for using carbide tipped circular saw blades with a diameter of 500 mm to 560 mm. With the XL package it is possible to achieve a cutting range of 240 mm round or 340 x 175 mm square material, using a 620 mm diameter blade. The frequency-controlled main drive offers facility for adjusting the cutting speed to the sawing process to allow cutting of both solid material made of high-strength AL-SI alloys and also thinwalled pipes and profiles. The servo motor-driven feed system in the optional Performance version defines a whole new performance category: Using either constant or dynamic saw feed, significantly higher cutting outputs can now be achieved. In addition to the XL package, an optional layer clamping device is available, enabling the machine to cut several profiles with each cut utilizing the enlarged cutting range perfectly. The robust overall design with the latest
