For Aluminium Runner Riser Cutting Machine for Automobile Component Manufacturers
PE-TRA® CutMaster DC300RT
PETRA Machines has entered into the design &
development of
Special Purpose Bandsaw Machines for Automobile Industries. Recently
PETRA Machines has engineered a Fully Automatic Tooled up
Bandsaw machine, dedicated for cutting Aluminum Runner Risers of various
Aluminum Alloy Castings of an Automobile Components.
It is a Fully Automatic, Completely tooled up & manufactured as per
EU norms for Safety requirements , makes it the most efficient Bandsaw
for such application.
This machine can be loaded with different
Aluminium Casting components to be cut, just by changing the fixture
plate. With this flexibility, one can cut range of Aluminum Runner
risers on the same machine.
Its Two Station palate system, almost eliminates the loading &
un-loading times & thereby reduces other non-cutting times, makes
it a most efficient machine of this category. Its fixtures are designed
for the specific component & which makes it safest to cut at high
cutting speeds & feeds.
It also uses a Helical Gear Box, which makes it possible to save on
energy, runs cool & calm.
Looking to the Aluminum Chips nature, it
is installed with Micro-mist coolant system. This system keeps the
blade cool, well lubricated & also keep the chip dry.
It uses the PETRA’s patented double column plateform of Ball Rail
system , which ultimately makes it a High performance Machine.

PETRA Machines once again proved its Bandsaw machine’s
capability by successfully cutting a very challenging material in a very
efficient manner.
This material is
a high temperature alloy used to manufacture turbocharger nozzle ring. A nozzle
ring is located in exhaust-gas turbine of a turbocharger and is subjected to
severe stresses due to continuously varying operating conditions. This is a corrosion
resistance material (Chromium and Cobalt is 34.5% by weight), as the exhaust
gases are highly corrosive.
Due to its contents (Cr, Co, Si), it is one of the
most difficult material to cut economically. Hence, at PETRA, we undertook this
challenging project to establish its optimum cutting parameters.
For these trials, we used the material (which is
invariably used by nozzle ring manufacturers) in the form of tubes as well as
rounds. We cut it by using a Carbide teeth bandsaw blade. After establishing
the various parameters, we arrived at conclusive data, which shows, how efficiently,
the PETRA bandsaw cut this challenging material. We achieved a consistence
performance of cutting this material and arrived at an average tool life of
63000 sq.cm with optimum cutting parameters.
There is one
more tough material, a stainless steel with composition of Cr-24 to 26%, Ni-19
to 20% and Si is 1.5%, which PETRA Bandsaw cuts very efficiently and with
consistency. A batch of solid round of 76mm diameter, we cut it with Carbide
blade and achieved an average tool life of 68000 sq cm.
PETRA band saw’s
unique force and feed feature helps in a successful cutting of this material,
as with this arrangement , blade never gets over loaded and automatically
adjust the feed according to resistance to the blade teeth and the set load.
