Automatic Single-Billet Sawing System

An automatic single-billet sawing system for casting and extrusion shops, designed to work with single-billet furnaces and multiple extrusion presses.

Process role

#

Billets move from storage and separation through controlled feeding, processing, identification, chip handling and finished-product logistics.

The single-billet cell moves one billet through feeding, cut-to-length positioning, clamping, sawing and discharge. It can interface with billet heaters, extrusion presses or a dedicated single-billet logistics route, with configuration defined from billet size, cut schedule, cycle time and adjacent elevations.

Operating sequence

#

1. Receive one billet from storage or upstream equipment.
2. Feed the billet to the encoder-based cut-length position.
3. Clamp the billet and perform controlled-feed sawing with blade lubrication.
4. Separate the finished cut, head piece or sample and transfer it downstream.

Key technical data

#

Configurable scope

#

• Single-billet storage, loading and alignment
• Cut-to-length feeding, clamping and enclosed sawing module
• Head, tail and sample collection
• Finished-product conveying, identification and chip-recovery interfaces

Plant interfaces

#

Confirm billet arrival, finished-product destination, conveyor elevations, crane access, chip route, electrical supply and upstream/downstream control signals.

Information required for selection

#

• Billet alloy, diameter, incoming length and straightness
• Target cut lengths, permitted tolerance and sampling requirements
• Production rhythm, shift pattern and changeover frequency
• Loading method, finished-product destination and adjacent-equipment elevations
• Control signals, safety boundary and maintenance access
