QUALITY "MADE IN AUSTRIA"

During the middle of the 1980s, the AMADA Group built a production facility for saw
blades and edging tools in the town of Ternitz, which is approx. 60 km away from Vienna.
The production facility was conceived for supplying the European market quickly and made
delivery times within only a few working days the rule. After completion of the building phase
from 1986 to the middle of 1987 and after installation and commissioning of the production
machines, the facility began initially with large-scale series production of bimetal saw blades.

In October 1988, work started on the production of edging tools for sheet metal processing
and European production of carbide steel-tipped saw blades in 2003. In the meantime, the
continuously increasing demand made further expansion necessary. During 2012, additional
production lines for manufacturing carbide saw blades were installed. This helped to ensure
a permanent leading position.

A Quality Management System according to ISO 9001,

which has been in existence since 1997 and certification
by Lloyd‘s Register is the guarantee for the high quality
of all products manufactured by AMADA Austria GmbH.
Our Environment Management Systems are also certified
according to ISO 14001.

CHIPBREAKER

CHIPBREAKER

Due to the use of a tooth profile that prevents the chips from generating heat at
the base of the tooth, the service life of the saw blade is increased considerably.
In addition, the difference in height between the tooth tips reduces the
generation of during sawing. High cutting performance of normal steel to tool
steel.

Properties
  lower heat generation at the tooth tips
  prevents fatigue of the spacer material
  prevents the chips from generating heat at base the tooth

Advantages
  longer service life

SUPER HLG

SUPER HLG

Friction during sawing is reduced, due to height differences between the

the tooth tips and high-precision pitch. Based on extensive analysis of the
sawing process, AMADA has developed a saw blade that ensures high cutting
performance especially with cold-worked steel.

Properties
  M42 HSS steel with 8% cobalt
  group pitch
  patented HI-LO tooth geometry
  SMARTCUT version available (41 x 0.9 mm)

Advantages
  high resistance to wear even with abrasive materials
(cold-worked steel C > 0.5% C + Cr or Ti)
  wide range of application from normal steel to tool steel
  excellent cutting performance with tool steel

  For sawing tubes and profiles, we recommend the Protector M42 and HI-LO qualities,
in the case of thick-walled materials, SGLB quality can also be used.
  To make use of the full performance potential, the corresponding high-performance machines
in good condition must be used.
  AMADA basically recommends using a flush cooling system with sufficiently concentrated
and suitable cooling emulsion, for example, AMADA cutting fluid.

Running in saw blades

If possible, exert less load than normal on each blade at the beginning
of sawing. Each AMADA saw blade is manufactured with the highest
precision.
If the correct tool has been chosen, insufficient cutting results are
usually caused by vibration, tooth breakage or crooked cutting. In order
to prevent these effects, proper running-in is important and increases
the service life of the tool. Damaged tooth, Damaged tooth,
after running-in not run-in
 INSTRUCTIONS

SELECTING THE TOOTH PITCH

  For optimum sawing, we recommend selecting a toothing that always has 10 to 20 teeth in
the material.
  When sawing deformed workpieces or workpieces that vary in cutting width, it is
preferable when at least two teeth are cutting into the the material at the same time during
sawing.

SELECTION
If a new blade is being used,   Select a suitable saw blade according to the saw blade quality table.
perform the run-in process.   Select a suitable tooth pitch according to the tooth pitch selection table.
(see "General Instructions")   Set the blade speed according to the table below
  With reference to the cutting performance specified in the table, set the feed speed so
that the calculated cutting time in the table below can be reached.

54 / 55
 DETERMINING THE CUTTING PERFORMANCE

Cutting performance means the surface area cut per minute and is expressed by the unit
cm2/min. To reach the target cutting performance, calculate according to the following formula
and set the feed.

material surface (cm2)

Cutting time (minutes)   =
cutting performance (cm2/min)

To simplify calculation of the surface, please use the following formula*:

  Surface of square material = width (cm) x height (cm)
  Surface of round material = Ø (cm) x Ø (cm) x 0.785

* In the case of bundle cutting, multiply the amount of bundled material with the value of each individual surface.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

  To achieve an optimum service life, the saw blades should always be run in. We
recommend running in each saw blade over a surface of approx. 3000 cm2. For this
purpose, reduce the blade speed by approx. 30 % and the cutting performance by
approx. 50 %.
  Make sure that the chip brush(es) of your machine is/are always in the mesh. Please
replace worn out brushes in due time, otherwise the quality of the cutting surface will
decrease and this can reduce the service life.
  Pay attention to sufficient cooling lubrication concentration; normally this should be
approx. 10 %. In the case of stainless steel, an increased concentration of approx. 12 %
has proved to be sufficient. Only cast iron and plastic should be sawed dry.
 SOLUTION

Saw blade with lateral scoring Chips sticking to the base of the tooth

AMADA saw blades are basically fully developed large series products with a
very stringent and intensive quality assurance. Nevertheless, problems can
occur occasionally during practical operation and we would like to support you
in finding the solution with these instructions.
Usually, several of the problems described in the table occur simultaneously. Concentrate on
the checkpoints that are mentioned with all problems that can occur.

PROBLEM LOCALISATION

1 – Check the the last-used saw blades for obvious traces

  Significant lateral scoring > check blade guides
  Burrs on the back of the saw blade > check blade back guides
  Chips sticking to the base of the tooth  > check that chip brush is on the mesh

2 – Checking the machine

  Condition of the chip brush
  Cooling lubricant concentration
  Visual inspection of the roller wheels

3 – Checking the material

  Request the factory certification and compare with the specification
  If necessary, heat treatment deviating from the normal condition
  Occlusions in the material
  Poor material surface quality
  Material geometry (strong fluctuations, material crooked)
  Check for anomalies with other cutting processes

 EFFICIENCY BY PERFORMANCE
TYPICAL COST DISTRIBUTION

For typical processing tasks, the costs for the tool amount to 10 % or less of the total cutting
costs. The largest part relates to machine and personnel costs. The best way to reduce
costs is to increase performance.

Typical cost distribution for saw kerf

31 % Machine costs

62 % Personnel costs

Tool costs
7 %

Savings from lower saw blade costs have very little effect because only the tool costs are
reduced which has no influence on the main part of the cutting costs. This is the reason
why an increase in performance leads to a tangible cost reduction despite higher saw blade
prices. For this reason, AMADA always recommends using the best technical solution.

For example, an increase in performance of 10 % leads to a reduction in costs of 8 %

although the higher performance blade for example, has a 20 % higher price.

Performance Price per blade Cutting costs

If you wish to lower costs, we recommend making an initial assessment of the current
situation. For example, you can use the adjacent copy template in order to record the
individual cuts over a certain period of time and then evaluate the cutting results using
3 saw blades. The AMADA sales representatives can then make targeted suggestions for
optimisation with the help of the statistics.
If it is possible to store the cutting results in a computer system, it is sufficient to acquire the
pure saw blade consumption over a period of time. AMADA saw blade sales representatives
can also help you in this case.
