New Generation Kinkelder TCT CX
Saw Blades for Solid (Stainless) Steel
In order to help customers achieve the highest production rates, best cut
quality and lowest cost per cut, Kinkelder has further developed its TCT
product range for solid cutting applications.
The new generation of Kinkelder CX series saw blades
makes use of the latest insights in design, materials
and production technology, leading to optimal
squareness and surface finish.
New saw body design
In applications with poor chip evacuation, the chips
often get intertwined and clog the sawing machine.
By updating the saw body design, a significant
increase of up to 50% blade life has been achieved.
The new design is being used in the CX 1, CX 6, CX 7
and Champion SL saw blades for tooth pitches higher
than 12 mm.
Optimized tooth geometries & carbide grades
Many years of extensive testing have proven that the
large diversity of applications requires fine-tuning of
tooth geometries and carbide grades. Depending on
the steel grade and material diameter, the optimal
geometry and carbide grade are being used for
dedicated products. Solid carbon steels with a tensile
strength up to 900 N/mm2 are being cut with a more
negative geometry and lower clearance than carbon
steels with a tensile strength > 900 N/mm2. Also
the carbide grade is different for both applications.
Kinkelder has specifically developed the CX1-M saw
blade for cutting solid carbon steel with a tensile
strength up to 900 N/mm2. The CX1-H saw blade is
being recommended for cutting steel with a tensile
strength of 900 N/mm2 and higher, as well as large
diameter ferritic-, martensitic- and duplex stainless
steels.
For large diameter austenitic steel (> 35 mm), the
CX6-L saw blade is being introduced, incorporating
a newly designed geometry. The carbide grade is
especially suitable for cutting sticky materials. The
CX6-S blade is dedicated for high performance
cutting of all stainless steels (ferritic, martensitic,
duplex and austenitic) with diameters up to 35 mm.
Coating
A new generation PVD coating is applied to the
CX1-M and CX1-H series for cutting solid carbon
steels. This multilayer coating is ultra-smooth,
leading to less side pick-up and low friction, while
keeping the benefits of a high temperature resistant
hard coating.
