Vollmer Cuts Cycle Times for Coventry Saw Blade Manufacturers KR Saws Ltd

Set up in 2004 as a joint venture by two of the world’s leading saw blade manufacturers, the Coventry based manufacturer of band saw and circular saw blades has witnessed continual growth since its inception. The growth is based on the strategy implemented by German and Dutch parent companies Roentgen and Kinkelder. The strategy enables both companies to respectively supply high quality band saw blades and circular saw blades to the UK, with KR Saws being the vehicle to provide bespoke solutions, specialised service and technical support from a UK base. The arrival of the 3-axis CNC Loroch Solution in September 2010 was the first Loroch K850 installation in the UK and it has proven a revelation to the Midlands based company. As KR Saws Managing Director, Paul Ison comments: “Our strategy of providing high quality products with unrivalled technical support and service is heavily dependent upon our production capabilities and capacity. The Loroch K850 acquisition has solved issues, improving our accuracy and repeatability and providing the technical team with the ability to offer a more diverse range of bespoke solutions. Prior to the arrival of the Loroch K850, the company required two machines to produce a finished saw blade. Saw blades would be profile ground on one machine and then transferred to a second machine to complete the final bevelled top geometry. The Loroch K850 has immediately improved production cycle times and tooth geometry accuracy with its ability to grind the teeth and bevels in one set-up. As Mr Ison continues: “We are manufacturing HSS, Carbide and Coated Carbide circular saws for steel, stainless steel and steel tube manufacturers as well as stockholders. With prestigious customers such as Tata, Caparo, Marcegaglia and Benteler among a few, we know that we have to continually evolve our products to deliver productivity gains for our end users. To this end, the 5-axis Loroch has a CAD facility on the machine that enables us to design any form or geometry at the machine. This allows us to offer solutions specific to each customer application to enhance their productivity.” Mr Ison continues: “The Loroch K850 Solution has been an exceptional asset for our business. It has been such a success that we have now ordered another machine from Vollmer, a Loroch KSC710 grinding centre.
