Tools

In the tools area, we offer you a comprehensive range of saw blades and accessories. We would like to emphasise dry cutting in the area of pipes and profiles. Of course, we also offer a fast and competent service for the repair of your saw blades.

Take advantage of our sharpening service. Using CNC-controlled sharpening systems from Vollmer, your saw blades will be repaired and returned to you within 3 days. Tooth replacement can also often be carried out economically.

Additives can be used for lubrication and cooling in machining processes such as sawing, milling, drilling and thread cutting.
There are special types of e.g. lubricants for different materials and processes, which do not break down during use due to the use of high-pressure additives, even at high cutting edge feed rates.
The resulting cooling and lubrication effect not only produces a better cutting pattern and optimised chip flow, but also results in a significant improvement in tool life.

Ask us for the right oils for your application, e.g. from Tsune.

About us

    New generation of orbital saws

    mbs has developed a new generation of orbital saws for pipes.

    It is characterised by high precision when cutting, a narrow cutting width and minimal costs for saw blades. mbs supplies the first system to a manufacturer of filter pipes.

    For the automatic sawing of thin-walled metal tubes, mbs has now completed the first machine of the new generation of MM orbital saws as a turnkey solution. It includes the feeding of the tubes from the inclined loading magazine, the sawing unit rotating around the tube axis and the removal of the sections until they are transferred to a robot.

    Heating engineer project - Efficient pipe processing through automation

    We have realised a fully automated pipe processing solution for one of the three largest heating system manufacturers in Germany, an owner-managed company with 150 years of tradition. According to the motto "tradition meets modernity", the pipes are fed directly from a bunker to the bending machine and bent using robot technology. The precise saw cut is made directly behind the bending radius - without additional cooling of the saw blade. Various bending items are stored in the sawing programme, ensuring a seamless, automated process. This solution optimises the material flow and increases efficiency and process reliability in production.

    Chip conveyor project - Precision in endless hinge production

    We have realised an efficient solution for the automated production of hinge strips for a long-established company in the chip conveying and disposal sector. An endless hinge mould is formed from the coil in a profiling system. As soon as the endless mould has reached its position, the saw carriage accelerates and carries out the precise saw cut. This cuts into the closed profile mould. In the subsequent process step, this cut enables the hinge to be cut precisely to the finished length - supported by a targeted shearing process. This solution ensures a high level of process reliability and efficiency in the production of conveyor chains for chip disposal systems.

    Project Saving measuring machines - Increasing efficiency in aluminium profile processing

    For a leading manufacturer of aluminium profiles based in south-east Europe, we have implemented a highly productive solution for processing thick-walled tubes for the automotive sector. Previously, measuring systems were installed after each conventional saw to check each section individually. By integrating a mass cutting saw from our sister company Tsune in combination with a bar feeder, we were able to take this process to a higher level. The result: a significant increase in cutting performance, with a single saw replacing three conventional saws. At the same time, the significantly higher accuracy and process reliability means that two measuring devices are no longer required - a decisive advance in efficiency and quality assurance.

    Welding flanges preparation project - optimisation of pipe processing

    For a chemical company from the MDAX, which regularly renews and expands its internal pipe network, we have realised a customised solution to improve pipe preparation. Previously, a band saw was used to cut large pipe dimensions, but this led to sawing errors that resulted in costly reworking or even rejects during the welding process. By integrating an orbital saw into the existing production process and using state-of-the-art drive technology, it was possible to reduce waste by 25 %. The orbital saw ensures a more precise cutting quality and minimises tolerances, making welding preparation significantly more efficient and cost-effective.

    Automotive damper project - Automated sawing technology for unmanned production

    We have further optimised the existing Tsune mass cutting technology for a family-run company operating throughout Europe. At the sites in Germany and Eastern Europe, the sawing technology was expanded through the use of belt-based coil loading magazines. The customer places coil material in the loader, whereupon the bars are automatically separated and correctly aligned axially, even if the layers are offset. They are then automatically fed into the sawing machines. This extension enables considerably longer unmanned production, which now runs stably and reliably well into the ghost shift.

    Unmanned sawing and ergonomic buffering project - increasing efficiency in series production

    We have developed an automated solution for material buffering for a German technology supplier that manufactures brass profiles in extremely high quantities for the beauty industry. The high output of the saw enables the simultaneous loading of several downstream machines. This is done using transport boxes, which are now handled efficiently by a fully automatic box changing system. The operator specifies the desired number of pieces - as soon as this is reached, the saw stops, the minimum quantity lubrication is saved and the next box is automatically brought into position. Production then continues seamlessly. This solution reduces manual intervention, optimises the material flow and increases overall system efficiency.

    Constant-weight sawing project for forging technology - precision despite fluctuating dimensions

    For a traditional forging company that is part of a French industrial group, we have developed a solution to ensure constant weight sawing even with varying semi-finished product dimensions. A measuring beam, which is positioned between the coil loading magazine and the sawing unit, precisely records the geometry of the semi-finished product after it has been separated. For this purpose, the measuring beam is rotated around the material while several laser heads carry out exact measurements. The saw processes this data in combination with density and volume calculations and adjusts the cut-off length so that the required weight accuracy is achieved. This precise procedure significantly reduces waste, as a sound basis for material positioning is already available before sawing.

    Project Material savings through double-cut and thin-cut saw blades - increasing efficiency in aluminium processing

    For a German specialist in the processing of aluminium parts, we have developed a solution to reduce costs in order to meet the competitive situation on the market. The targeted modification of the blade damping on a Tsune mass cutting saw enabled the use of saw blades that are only 1.6 mm narrow. The high precision and process reliability of the saw also allows operation in a double-cutting process. The result: significant material savings that save the customer thousands of kilos of aluminium every year - an economic advantage that also makes a positive contribution to resource conservation and sustainability.

    Tube sawing project with further processing - Automated production for door hinges

    We have developed a highly automated solution for a renowned manufacturer of door hinges that combines previously separate production steps at different locations into a single production line. By linking sawing, chamfering and punching, we were able to make the process significantly more efficient. A loading magazine, a Tsune saw, a first conveyor belt, a portal gripper, a chamfering station, a second conveyor belt and a punching tool for processing the shell surface are used. The key special feature: thanks to the high degree of automation, a single operator can now control several systems, which increases productivity and reduces costs.

    Inventory integration project - Efficient integration of a new sawing machine

    We realised the integration of a new sawing machine into the existing infrastructure for an internationally renowned steel service provider from the Alpine region. The particular challenge lay in the low travel paths of the existing crane system. By developing a customised safety concept for material transport and using a 3D scanner, it was possible to switch off safety-relevant assemblies in a targeted manner without restricting the use of the crane system. This solution enabled smooth integration of the new machine with full operational continuity - an enormous cost advantage for our customer.
