AME'S Combined Saw/Drill Unit Designed for Railroad Industry
Advanced Machine & Engineering Co. (AME) offers the Amsaw R-series saw made specifically to cut rails for the railroad industry. The combined saw/drill unit is designed to improve efficiency and productivity. The saw's benefits include smooth, accurate cuts; durable machinery; and long tool life.
Designed for high-production cutting of ferrous and nonferrous metals, the rail saw offers many features, including a saw blade changeover time of less than 3 minutes, hardened spindle gears ground for minimum backlash, a special saw blade guide and dampening device for accurate cutting to stabilize the blade, a low-maintenance design, dry operation in which no coolant is needed, double and triple measurement strokes for extra length cuts and a 32-second clamp to unclamp time.
An electronic overload device monitors cutting performance and stops the saw feed when necessary; the heavy, welded machine base is ribbed and braced for rigidity; and a chip conveyor conveys chips to the rear of the machine for deposit into a tote box.
The R-series saw also offers a flexible setup. It can be combined with an integrated or inline rail hole drilling for bolted joints at the rail ends or with infeed and outfeed material handling systems.
Advanced Machine & Engineering Co., located in Rockford, Ill., is a global manufacturer and distributor of precision machine components, fluid power components, fixturing/workholding, power drawbar and spindle interface components, and saw machines and blades.
