The special sawing machine BSM 1200 / 1200 S-V

The BSM 1200 S-V (right) is used for sawing plastic pipes with a diameter of 400 – 1200 mm and a length of 3000 – 6000 mm. It allows angle cuts from 0 – 45 degrees. In the original basic version, the BSM 1200 is equipped with a simple V-table (left).

The challenge

Because the BSM 1200 is equipped with a simple V-table, the plastic pipe must be manually positioned and fixed for cutting.
Riexinger asked us to develop and implement a robust and cost effective solution, using a sketch designed by the company, in custom-made form, to increase the efficiency and throughput time of the machine saw.

The solution

The V-table was equipped with a v-shaped roller conveyor without drive and a chain conveyor placed in between including a driver. On the one hand, these technical modifications make it possible to automate the feed of the plastic pipe to be sawn. The incremental encoder installed on the motor allows the end position of the pipe to be precisely controlled. On the other hand, the v-shaped roller conveyor ensures that the plastic tube is centered on the elements. This ensures that the manually set cutting angle is maintained exactly at the end. A short film by our client Riexinger, which you can find above, illustrates how our solution works in practice.
