HIGH SPEED CUTTING OF EXOTIC ALLOYS | ONL HSS

High-Speed Cutting of Special Steels | ONL HSS

Japan | Steel Service Centres

Project Overview

Client: Japanese company specialized in cutting and distributing high-strength steels

Year: 2022/2023

Technology: ONL HSS – High Speed Sawing Technology

Location: Japan

 

Industry: Steel Service Centres

The Challenge

The Japanese customer was looking for a high-performance solution for the continuous cutting of extremely tough steels, with the ability to maintain tight tolerances, ensure high productivity,
and keep the cost per cut as low as possible.
The real challenge, however, was related to space constraints inside the facility: they needed a single machine capable of replacing the productivity of three traditional cutting systems, within a compact footprint, and with reliable multi-shift performance.
The machine had to be robust, precise, and automated, allowing for easy and safe loading/unloading, and meeting the highest operational safety standards—ideal for a high-volume, high intensity production environment.

The Solution

Friggi supplied the ONL HSS bandsaw, engineered in every detail to set a new benchmark in high-speed cutting of tool and alloy steels.

Key features:

  • Heavy-duty frame and oversized components for industrial-grade operations
  • Carbide blade for high-speed cutting with long life
  • Linear and constant head feeding system with brushless motors and ball screws,
    ensuring maximum precision
  • Material clamping system controlled by encoders, offering robust and accurate locking
  • No vibration or noise during cutting
  • Extended blade life thanks to smooth, controlled dynamics
  • Safe and efficient material loading and unloading
  • Industry 4.0 ready, enabling remote monitoring and control

Operational Results

The implementation of the ONL HSS delivered immediate and measurable results:

  • Significant reduction in cutting cycle time
  • Tight tolerances and excellent cut quality
  • Longer blade life, due to precise and controlled cutting motion
  • Safe and stable cutting, even on the hardest steels
  • Fast ROI, thanks to enhanced efficiency and low operating costs

The ONL HSS proved to be a strategic solution for the Japanese market, confirming the
effectiveness of Friggi technologies in the most demanding applications.
