KASTO at EuroBLECH 2014: Hall 11, Stand A15

Its new bandsawing machine range, KASTOwin, will be presented, consisting of five automatic bandsaw models which cover a cutting range from 330 to 1,060 mm. These machine tools are suitable for universal use and for all types of material and represent a flexible solution for multiple applications. In particular, the very high performance-to-price ratio is said to bring a new level of value-for-money to the sector. It has been achieved using a modular design and many common components across the range.

To complement this exhibit, the fully automatic pivot-type workshop saw KASTOpractical A2 will be on display. This model has been designed for efficient cutting and mitring of profile, tube and solid bar. A two-speed drive unit delivering 35 m/min or 70 m/min and a fully hydraulic feed are just two features.

The versatile, infinitely variable mitre selection without length correction makes the saw simple and effective to use, assisted by the SmartControl with easy to understand symbols as well as information on cutting condition or errors. A large range of accessories allows users to order a bespoke KASTOpractical A2 suited to their needs.

Automated storage will also be represented at the show with the KASTOuniline. It is a highly effective, longitudinal design and is best suited to long and narrow spaces, up to 25 metres in height, as with most KASTO storage products.

It can be erected fully internally, internally but through the roof as a ‘chimney’ installation, or externally, fully clad against the elements. It is particularly well suited to all sheet format pallets from small to large and extra-large as well as for cassettes holding tube and profile and cubic products.

Within the manufacturing sector, KASTOuniline can be connected directly to processing machinery like laser cutting machines and press brakes. The exhibition model will be demonstrating integrated robotic sorting from the cut nesting program for unattended production in a typical laser processing company.
