High-efficiency horizontal band sawing machinery engineered for structural steel beams and heavy profiles. The KBS 621 DG, KBS 751 and KBP 1001 systems incorporate a pivoting saw frame for angular cuts from +60 deg to -50 deg and CNC controlled cutting feed.
- Pivoting saw frame assembly for bevel cutting with high angular positioning accuracy
- Hydraulic band tensioning mechanism with continuous pressure monitoring in the line
- Carbide blade guide inserts with direct coolant delivery into the active cut zone
- Large-diameter drive wheels to minimize bending fatigue stress on the saw band body
Kaltenbach multi-spindle drilling lines: KDM, KDP and KDS series
High-speed three-spindle structural drilling and milling systems for comprehensive beam machining. The KDM 624, KDM 1024 and KDP 1036 models feature automatic tool changers holding 24 to 36 positions and rigid high-torque spindles for structural fabrication.
- Three independent drilling heads with separate servo feed drives along linear axes
- Tool storage carousels supporting HSK or SK40 tool holders for rapid automated change
- Through-spindle internal cooling system utilizing minimum quantity lubrication MQL
- Hydraulic profile centering and heavy overhead clamp assemblies in the drilling bay
Kaltenbach GIETART shot blasting systems: ECO Blaster and High Speed Blaster
Roller conveyor through-feed shot blasting machines engineered for automated cleaning of steel profiles, plates and structural weldments. The GIETART ECO Blaster 1504/2506 and High Speed series feature high-velocity blast wheels and manganese blast chamber protection.
- High-efficiency blasting turbines with quick-change curved alloy throwing blades
- Interior blast chamber lining constructed from wear-resistant manganese steel plates
- Multi-stage abrasive recycling system with combined air-wash separator and hopper
- Infeed and exit sealing curtains paired with rotating blow-off brush installations
Kaltenbach heavy plate processing centers: KF 2614 and KF 2612 series
Multi-operation CNC plate processing machines engineered for complete structural steel plate fabrication. The KF 2614 / 28 systems combine high-definition plasma cutting, powerful drilling spindles with automatic tool carousels, tapping and part marking on one portal.
- Precision bridge portal with dual-side servo drives and heavy-duty linear guideways
- Drilling head with internal through-tool cooling and tool carousels for 14-28 tools
- Plasma cutting torch station with automated arc voltage torch height control THC
- Hydraulic plate clamping feet securing workpieces firmly during drilling operations
Kaltenbach material handling and measuring systems: T13 and M150 series
Shopfloor logistical systems engineered for automatic infeed and precise positioning of heavy structural steel profiles. Kaltenbach measuring carriages and motorized roller tables integrate directly with saws and drills to minimize non-productive workpiece handling.
- Length measuring carriages equipped with rack-and-pinion drives and rotary encoders
- Heavy-duty driven roller conveyors with durable roller chain drives for steel beams
- Cross-transfer chain tables with pneumatic lifting arms for intermediate buffering
- Photoelectric and proximity sensors detecting workpiece edges for zero-reference
Kaltenbach circular cold saw engineering and pivot feed mechanics
Kaltenbach circular sawing machines in the KKS 400 and KKS 450 product lines feature an inverted pivot feed design where the blade rises smoothly from below the worktable.
Driven by a proportional hydraulic cylinder, the cutting unit traverses upward through the slotted rotary table, providing rigid support and operator safety. The rotary table is supported by high-precision bearings to enable rapid bevel angle adjustments without shifting the structural workpiece.
The main drive relies on a heavy-duty worm gearbox with precision-ground bronze gears, delivering high spindle torque without backlash or vibration during continuous industrial operation.
Kaltenbach KBS band sawing lines: mitre frame and band tensioning control
Kaltenbach horizontal band saws in the KBS 400 DG, KBS 621 DG, KBS 751 and KBS 1001 series are engineered for high-speed cutting of structural steel profiles in fabrication plants.
The rigid saw frame pivots on a central kingpin for mitre cuts ranging from plus 60 degrees to minus 50 degrees, secured by a hydraulic locking brake. The cutting band travels over large drive wheels and passes through carbide guide blocks equipped with pre-straightening rollers.
A hydraulic cylinder maintains constant band tension monitored by pressure sensors, preventing blade fatigue and wandering during heavy cutting.
Multi-spindle structural drilling lines: drilling, milling and marking
Kaltenbach beam drill systems in the KDM 624, KDM 1024 and KDP 1036 lines incorporate three independent machining units for simultaneous three-sided beam processing. Each drill spindle is powered by an independent servo motor driving precision ball screws along hardened guideways.
Automatic tool carousels holding 15, 24 or 36 tools support multi-diameter drilling, countersinking, tapping and slot milling in a single handling cycle.
Internal through-spindle lubrication delivers minimum quantity air-oil mist directly to the cutting edges, maximizing drill life and eliminating flood coolant disposal.
GIETART through-feed shot blasting: turbine protection and abrasive recycling
Kaltenbach GIETART shot blasting systems in the ECO Blaster and High Speed Blaster lines provide continuous surface descaling and rust removal on beams, plates and welded assemblies before protective coating application.
High-velocity blast turbines are positioned at scientifically calculated angles around the roller conveyor path to deliver uniform abrasive coverage.
The blast chamber interior is shielded by heavy manganese steel alloy plates, while turbine curved blades are formed from hardened wear-resistant materials. A multi-stage air-wash separator cleans and returns reusable steel shot to the hopper.
Heavy plate processing centers: high-definition plasma cutting and drilling
Kaltenbach KF 2614 and KF 2612 plate processing systems combine plasma cutting and heavy-duty drilling on a single travelling bridge portal. The dual-side servo-driven bridge moves over a stationary plate table, eliminating positioning inaccuracies on heavy structural steel sheets.
A 30 kW drilling spindle with an automatic tool changer drills holes up to 50 mm diameter and taps threads up to M30. The plasma station with torch height regulation handles complex contours and internal openings.
Integrating these operations eliminates crane transfers and boosts overall workshop throughput.
