Sawing system with special equipment – cutting to a unique level

Angular system with longitudinal and transverse saws from IMA Schelling enables cuts with a high degree of flexibility

The two small cutting blades, arranged opposite from each other, operate with a very small sinking depth, and as the small blades can be extremely accurately guided, they achieve a more exact cut and smoother cut faces as a result

Processes / Technology

New orbital saw reduces expenditure on blades by 80 %

Highly precise cutting improves material efficiency and enables automatic welding.

Saw-robot combination from Ima Schelling

Ima Schelling Precision combines a panel-sizing saw for aluminum with a handling robot. This increases cutting efficiency enormously: users achieve higher throughput with lower manpower and energy requirements.
