Soon only one saw will make the cut…

By early 2001 the precision saw will take its place among Granco Clark’s extrusion equipment offerings. This saw will provide thousandth of an inch accuracy and a clean cut that eliminates the need for finishing. The precision saw can be used on a variety of extrusion shapes, including thin wall, thick wall, solids, round and flat stock, and it is not limited to use with aluminum. Other materials, such as copper, brass and plastics can also be cut.

“This variety of saw is, of course, not new to the marketplace, but our design improvements incorporate the best features of existing technology and offer our clients added flexibility,” comments John Bugai, Granco Clark Vice President.

As with all Granco Clark saws, the issue of safety in the work environment is a chief concern. Design provisions have been made to block key pinch points and call attention to potential hazards. The acoustically insulated barriers will significantly dampen noise levels, beneath the 85/90 industry standard.

A Panel View touchscreen is the designated user interface for controlling the saw’s multiple functions. Granco Clark will offer a stock cutting window 8" high and 24" wide, with a standard system capability of cutting stock pieces up to 14'. But the design is not restricted to these specifications. Variations will be made available to meet the specific needs of our customers.

“We assessed what was lacking among current precision saw offerings, and have designed a saw that will fill that niche,” explains Andy Bucko, Granco Clark’s new Saw Systems Manager. “The result is a superior quality standardized product with flexible capabilities. There will be variations of this initial design to satisfy industry needs that have not been addressed.”

“The primary objective of this initiative is to provide a saw that is easy to operate, delivers exceptional production performance and has a solid support system,” Bucko continues. “Phone modem support will be available to minimize any interruptions to production. I think the best feature of this product offering is something that we provide with all of our equipment—flexibility. Rather than offering the customer only the limited choices of standard product offerings––taking what we have—our goal is to always meet customers’ needs.”
