T o maintain its enviable reputation for excellence and so- phistication in sawing, the Taiwan-based Everising Machine Company continuously strives to anticipate its customers’ requirements to provide timeous and effective solutions. What the company established recently was that many customers required machines capable of cutting larger steel sections, which are now being used more frequently in manufacturing. In South Africa, Everising circular saws and band saws are avail- able from First Cut, a leading distributor of cutting consumables and capital equipment. In response to its customers’ requests, Everising has upgraded its P- and E-series sawing machines so that they can now process steel sections in the 300 mm to 800 mm range. The overall aim of these upgrades is to reduce its customers’ production costs by speeding up actual cutting times. The P-series also has a user-friendly touchscreen with easy-to- followgraphics, with all cutting parameters clearly displayed on the touchscreen controller. A bonus for operators is the self-diagnostic function, which allows for immediate on-screen troubleshooting. P-series circular saws are fitted with an accurate length index device, which is driven by a servomotor and ball screw. Hydraulic- clamped front and vertical vices hold work pieces firmly in place. A floating shuttle device and hydraulic sorting chute speeds up production, while a scraper chain type chip conveyor ensures effi- cient removal of cutting debris. The speed of the blade is controlled by an inverter and is infinitely variable. TheP-series gear transmissiondriver provideshighefficiencyand consistent cutting speed. Carbide guide pads are used to strengthen the rigidity of the sawblades, which not onlymeans accuracy, but an extended saw blade life. The P-series requires only one operator to set up and load the machine. Excessive rework is avoided as P-series machines give a mill-cut finishwith a tolerance of 0.02mm. Remnant or scrap pieces are sorted into a separate bin. With its versatility, a P-series sawing machine could replace a number of other types of circular saws, thereby saving valuable production space. As with the P-series, Everising’s E-series band saws are CNC- controlledandalso featureadvanced touchscreen control. Toensure extended machine life, E-series band saws are equipped with high efficiency gearboxes lubricated by a controlled oil-feed system. An inverter controls the variable speed of the blade, which is tensioned hydraulically. q Everising’s upgraded E- and P-Series sawing machines are ‘cut out’ to meet customers’ sawing requirements with faster cutting times and greater functionality.
