High precision cut-to-size saws fk 6 and fk 8 Precise and clean cut-tosize of plastic materials.

P ERFECT CUTTING QUALI T Y W I TH L ESS INEFFICIEN C Y. Cutting plastic materials to size with high quality is a challenge. The properties and the high intrinsic value of these materials calls for well thought out solutions in order to optimize cutting quality, protect sensitive surfaces and avoid scrap. The IMA Schelling fk 6 / fk 8 provides tried and tested technology for this application. The fk 6 / fk 8 incorporates decades of know-how from the market leader in cut-to-size saws. IMA Schelling. Robust construction prevents vibrations and torsions forces which is an important prerequisite for...

The patented turntable with 90° rotation makes operation even simpler and the cutcut ting process more productive. IMA Schelling invented the turntable 30 years ago and has continuously developed it since that time. Today, the entire machine is adapted to the turntable. It is mobile and semi-automatic. In an instant materials and strips are first cut lengthwise, then crosswise. The turntable offers many advantages: 1.) Material surface protection as the work pieces no longer need to be moved relative to the table. The material moves with the table and is not scratched. 2.) Improved ergonomics...

The design of chip guiding and extraction systems are some of the most important requirements for clean and precise cutting. IMA Schelling has integrated designs into the fk 6 / fk 8 that ensure almost one hundred percent removal of the chips generated by the cutting process. These systems make intelligent use of the kinetic energy of the chips in order to remove them in a targeted manner. The guided dust and chip protective curtain serves as a suction channel along the entire length of the pressure beam. The curtain fits exactly to the contour of the material. IMA Schelling has solved the demand...

"Goodbye to chips" with clean-up cut. Removing chips produced by dust cuts (scrape cuts) was no easy task. But patented IMA Schelling’s CLEAN-UP system has also mastered this challenge. Closed chip guiding system A closed chip guiding system guides chips away with the aid of kinetic energy. The pressure beam, hold down beam and chip guard enable a constantly sealed channel that allows up to 99.5 % removal of chips and dust.

TURN TA B LE: FA ST P RECI S I ON MATERIAL H ANDLI NG . The patented IMA Schelling turntable (optional) stands for extremely easy handling of materials and parts. All long strips are effortlessly rotated in one process. This significantly reduces the amount of time required for turning strips from rip cuts to cross cuts by 15 – 20 %, increases productivity and protects material surfaces. The generous size of the table also allows manipulation of material directly at the operator control desk. Lateral positioning device. The turntable is movable in order to cut small work pieces to size with ease....

Simple removal of material: Scissors clamps position to the table. Material is pushed by the scissors clamps past the saw line directly to the air floatation tables or turntable. With this design, the saw operator does not have to reach past the cutting line to remove final parts or trims. Not only does this mean greater convenience, it also means greater safety. Safety curtain shields. The safety curtain can be pivoted, and also optionally raised and lowered. The combined pivot/raise/lower function allows work to continue without any disruptive lifting of the clear plastic safety guards, thus...

IMA Schelling’s fk 6 / fk 8 is designed with solid construction, up to twelve tons, which prevents vibration and torsion due to cutting forces and ensures maximum angular accuracy. This also leads to a long and profitable machine service life. Feeder carriage with robust drive. The feeder carriage ensures constant precision when it comes to positioning plastic materials for cutting. A major part of this is the robust drive unit. Optionally, the feeder carriage can be equipped with an integrated second brake on the feeder drive shaft. This automatically locks the feeder in position prior to cutting...

Hold-down beam and pressure beam without cut outs The pressure beam is supplemented with an additional hold-down beam with clamp recesses. This solution results in the usual high cutting quality of +/- 0.1 mm. The excellent suction performance is achieved through the combination of pressure beam, hold-down beam, dust protection curtain in front and back and clean-up system, which removes 99.5 % of chips from the work area. Strip aligning devices before and after the cut line. The double strip aligning device positioned before and after the cut line is a feature that makes IMA Schelling’s fk 6...

PER I PH ERALS AND EXPAN SION STAG ES. The core skills of IMA Schelling Anlagenbau include not only the design of industry proven standard saws, but also, and perhaps to an even greater extent, the planning and implementation of customer-specific solutions. Highly convenient: Pivot arm and vacuum suction unit. The pivot arm and vacuum suction unit are available options which speed up and automate handling. They allow the machine to be quickly and professionally loaded and unloaded in the industrial environment. Time saved thanks to the preparation table. The fk 6 / fk 8 can be equipped with an...

Flexible thanks to modular expansion. Expansion by modular features ensures even greater industrial capacity. All conceivable, precisely adapted solutions for loading, material handling and stacking can be planned. Everything is from a single source – from the technology leader in cut-to-size saws: IMA Schelling. From planning to start up IMA Schelling is your partner. This means there is just one contact person who is responsible for ensuring that all components work seamlessly together from the very first moment.

I NTEL L I G ENTLY CONTRO LLE D FO R H I G HER OUTPUT. The IMA Schelling MCS Evolution controller allows for efficient use of the fk 6 / fk 8 from the outset and makes it possible to rapidly implement a high degree of automation. Open interfaces mean that the machine can be easily integrated in existing systems and programmed from an office PC. A new diagnostic function for peripherals facilitates the work of machine operators, maintenance personnel and remote hotline maintenance and proves it’s worth right from initial commissioning. The control desk with the MCS Evolution and the IMA Schelling...
