The KASTOunitower tower storage system is a space-saving, economical alternative to floor and cantilever arm storage systems
KASTO will present numerous innovations at EMO 2015 HALL 18 Stand A18/B09. Visitors will have a chance to assess equipment from the two sides of its business: sawing and storage, amongst them the KASTOunitower long material storage system, the new KASTOwin series of bandsaws and the KASTOsort robotic sorting system.
The KASTOunitower tower storage system is available in three variants and is suitable for bar materials, sections, sheet and plate, as well as euro-pallets, boxes and other items. Its height means that it can hold a given amount of stock in a smaller space than floor or cantilever arm storage systems and therefore it is more economical.
An operating gantry crane handles the cassettes that contain the materials. In addition, input and output stations connected to automatic conveying technology or to processing machines allow material flow to be optimised. The tower is, for example, employed as a buffer store in fabrication shops, or for small to medium quantity storage in steel and other stockholding companies.
The KASTOtec horizontal bandsaw is designed for processing large workpieces and difficult-to-cut materials
The horizontal bandsaws in the KASTOtec series are designed for processing large workpieces and materials that are difficult to cut. The machines offer highly efficient cutting performance, easy operation and carefully thought out material handling. A ballscrew is used to position the material to be sawn very accurately. Precision balanced drive elements permit very high cutting speeds in combination with smooth running that prolongs blade life. KASTO will be exhibiting the fully automatic KASTOtec AC 4 carbide specification bandsaw with a cutting range of 430 mm.
The KASTOwin series, introduced in 2014, comprises five fully automatic bandsaws with cutting ranges of up to 1,060 mm. The KASTOwin A 3.3, with a cutting range of 330 mm, and the KASTOwin A 8.6, whose cutting range is 860 mm, will be demonstrated on the KASTO stand.
KASTOwin is a versatile, all-round solution for cutting a variety of materials. As a large number of parts used within the series are identical, the bandsaws have an outstanding price/performance ratio. At the same time, the carefully thought out, robust design permits the highest cutting performance. The touch-screen SmartControl ensures easy operation. It contains a library of material data and automatically sets all necessary cutting parameters.
In addition, the company will exhibit the KASTOspeed high-performance automatic circular sawing machine in combination with a KASTOsort robotic sorting system. Saws in this series are particularly well suited to economical series production. Optimum positioning of the saw drive and the four-point workpiece clamping permit a very short saw stroke. KASTOsort delivers a further increase in efficiency by integrating industrial robots with suitable gripping systems. Cut pieces can be removed under automatic control and stacked for optimised packing density, cleaned, deburred, weighed, marked and/or sent to further processing equipment.
