VIDEO: Alloy-Specific Bandsaw Setup Improves Finish Quality at Everising

Taiwanese EVERISING MACHINE CO. shares secret for high quality surface finish in cutting of raw materials.

Saws like band saws and circular saws are the time-honored
way to cut raw material into useable forms for further machining in industrial
applications. Saw cutting is not a simple process however, as each alloy has
different speed and feed requirements to maximize surface quality and minimize
waste.

In the video above, we learn how Taiwanese companies like
EVERISING MACHINE CO. are advancing industrial saw technology, with company
president Shu-Chai Chiao.

“We collect many country’s standards,” Chiao said,
explaining how the company stays aware of the cutting requirements of different
alloys.

“Every country, every manufacturer, has one number. This is
a lot of data that we must collect in our computer side, which we can then put
in our machines to choose materials. For example, if we’re using a United
States standard, we can use that to get information and know what standard
component is inside. This information includes cutting data, so we can make it
easy to cut the material.”

EVERISING builds their own machine tools in-house, and so
designs them to minimize vibration, noise and temperature.

To achieve the smoothest of cuts, EVERISING joined together
with a saw blade manufacturer and developed their machines to properly
lubricate the saw blades while in contact with the material.

“The cutting surface, whether it becomes smooth or rough is
also really important,” Chiao continued. “Our machines are strong enough and have
enough reach that it’s easy to get that smooth cut. We joined together with a
saw blade manufacturer and we worked on a solution to lubricate the blades
during the cut. We need this for an improved cutting surface. The saw blade,
the teeth angle and the way the teeth cut are really important for us.”
