Interview with Ion Garmendia, commercial director of Danobat S. Coop. -Division saws
In the last eight years there has been a great revolution in the technology of cutting using band saw
What is the sawing and is used for what kind of work?
Different types of saws and are different from one another?
There are also leaves with teeth of diamond, etc., for cutting materials such as glass, tires, steels with large temple etc., generally used in very special operations.
The leaves or blades are manufactured in a variety of toothed, from a passage of 14/18 teeth per inch, to be able to cut thicknesses of thin materials, up 0.7/1 toothed tooth per inch for diameters up to 2500 mm. cutting
The dimensions of the strips used in the industry, are between 27 x 0, 9 mm and 80 x 1, 6 mm thick.
Finally, to say that the leaves of both tape bimetallic as carbide, they can have with treatments such as e.g. Titanium Nitride bath, offering the possibility of faster, cut with a higher tool life. These treatments are proving a major revolution in the area of the Court in many applications, which require a great production.
In reference to the current situation, what are the main technological discussions today in the field of the mountains?
In addition to the above, there is a growing demand for the factor of the operator has the minimum impact on the production obtained in the different shifts, so in this type of machines, the operator in addition to loading the materialsimply indicates the dimension of the piece, its geometry, length of parts to obtain and number of units, and is the CNC of the machine which is responsible for the rest of the management of court, with criteria previously factory markings. The aim is that equal work different shifts, get virtually the same productions.
In order to achieve this degree of autonomy and degree of constancy of production, currently you are using systems of measurement, guidance, control, etc., similar to machines tools more sophisticated, so that in its day was called simply as sierratoday is a machine-tool of court.
As an example, can point out that currently the required degree of sophistication leads us to employ rectified spindles to execute the movement and control of court, rather than more classics such as cylinders, etc. systems
What is the secret of a good sierra? What the difference of a "not so good"?
I really think that there are not many secrets, but in addition to having a complete team, qualified and motivated people who perform their work in different jobs, us at Danobat we are proud of having the technological centre "ideko", within the Danobat group, where we have a media, organization, system of work, based on a study of the sector, competitors, value, AMFE, workshop of prototyping, analysis system mechanical engineering (static, dynamic and thermal calculations), engineering control, etc., where the synergies produced in the manufacture of various machine tools take advantagewith good and above all, involving the entire team, working as joint.
All this, is to obtain a product of quality, rigidity and accuracy, which is equal to the demand of customers, easy to use, with few incidents, and in which case it is practical for the work of SAT.
As for the current market, is the import of sierras important competition for manufacturers here?
How many Spanish manufacturers of saws are there? And approximately how many companies market saws foreigners?
As far as trends is concerned, towards where advancing innovations in the mountains?
What features will have the hills in a few years that do not have now?
I think that every time we went to a degree of sophistication in machines, in order to use less machines, and thereby smaller space used, fewer personnel, greater and better control of inventories, costs, etc., which nowIt is requiring that previously already have mentioned, more court centres.
Is there some factor legislative, environmental, or simply of "customs of Spanish clients" that condition in any way the sale of mountain ranges in Spain?
Finally, what are the latest developments of Danobat saws?
For this same sector, we have developed lines of court and very flexible drill, which can be customized depending on the needs of each client. Thus, in recent years, we have mainly developed three types of automatic drill, that we could classify them in the drill head type turret with four tools for machining, the drilling of three independent heads, with or without automatic tools changer, and the bore of a head with longitudinal movement throughout the piece to work.
All of them are controlled by CNC Software Danmach, compatible with files DSTV.
""In addition, we have developed the new Center Court ASU-ASR with 6 seasons of load and store collection of remains of materials commanded through a system of programming of automatic cutting parameters,"Danocut" for different materials on the store.
Finally, include the range of hills CP-TV "Trolley" which falls within the solutions offered by Danobat to the prooblemática of cutting and handling of heavy materials. The particularity of this type of sierras lies in its mobile table or trolley, and its operating mode, which allows a significant savings of time for the material handling. The loading is performed in an external position without own head of an obstacle to this. In addition, the cut pieces may remain on the table, without having to be withdrawn once cutting is performed. Once all tracks have been made, the trolley back on the Rails, so that the cut pieces can be easily downloaded from a comfortable position.
