[Case Study] Steel Trading Company

Thinning the blade edge thickness significantly improved the yield rate! A case where staff burden was also reduced.

We would like to introduce a case study on cold saw/cutting processing at a steel trading company. The company had a challenge of wanting to increase the yield from a single round bar, and they were looking for ways to make the blade thinner. Making the blade thinner means that the body also needs to be thinner; however, if the body is made thinner, it can lead to issues such as lateral runout and bending during cutting. Through trial and error regarding the body’s rigidity, flatness, and the cutting angle for smoother cutting, we were able to develop a product that meets their requirements. 【Case Overview】 ■ Challenge: They wanted to increase the yield from a single round bar and make the blade thinner. ■ Our Efforts: - We conducted trial and error on the body’s rigidity, flatness, and cutting angle. - Not only did the yield increase, but the reduction in blade thickness also led to a decrease in chips. - The frequency of changing the drum for collecting chips decreased. - The burden on staff was also reduced. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
