Immediate Productivity
Increase with OTO Flying Cut-Off
Flexometal, a privately-owned company in Mexico specializing in tube and profile
production, aims to boost its production output for more competitive markets, such
as mechanical and automotive tubing. As part of its strategic program, the company
contracted Fives for a high-speed OTO cold saw cut-off unit for its tube mill line.
Since OTO cut-off’s commissioning at the
Guadalajara plant in January 2019, Flexometal has
immediately achieved 30% productivity increase.
The new unit also features important technical
innovations which allow to stabilize precision length
in 1.5mm as maximum tolerance, at any working
speed. This cut-off belongs to single blade cold saw
cut-off family with a range coverage from 6mm
to 130mm. It’s equipped with extremely versatile
and user-friendly software, enabling an operator to
optimize speed and type of blade for any production
size.
Fives has been specializing in OTO flying cut-off
units for over 25 years, offering a wide range of
models, specially designed for inside scarfed tubes
and special profiles, with special attention on high
precision and perfect clean in-line cut without
distortion.
