Manufacturers announce steel cutting cooperation

The Kaltenbach Group of companies has announced two new co-operations with leading machine tool manufacturers Zeman and RSA.

For the UK market Kaltenbach says that its Bedford facility and RSA, who has offices in Telford, will be able to work together to promote a full range of circular sawing and deburring systems.

RSA machinery is said to be proven across the worldwide metal cutting industry, particularly in high-volume applications such as the automotive sector, where productivity, reliability and fast cycle times are paramount.

Additionally Kaltenbach has announced a cooperation agreement with Zeman, the Austrian manufacturer of leading solutions for steel fabrication and assembly.

Zeman’s Steel Beam Assembler range of machines are claimed to represent a major leap forward in productivity potential when assembling the component elements of fabricated steel structures.

Zeman systems use robotics for the welding and assembly work, with the range topping system able to automatically scan, pick and even re-orientate fittings from a layout area and take them to the waiting steel beam for both tacking and final welding processes.

Kaltenbach will be presenting the full scope of its product range, including their new industry partners, at the forthcoming MACH 2016 exhibition at the Birmingham NEC in April 2016.
