The Behringer in-house show “World of Saws” opened its doors this year once again for the seventh time from June 20 – 22 on the company premises of the sawing machine manufacturer in Kirchardt. On an area of over 4,000 square meters, the company showcased a cross-section of its product spectrum of circular and bandsawing machines and equipment for the steel processing industry. Around 550 customers and potential buyers from over 30 countries made the journey to the premises of the main exhibitor Behringer GmbH (bandsawing machines) to experience an array of large-scale and combined plants which would be impossible to exhibit on this scale at any trade fair showground. Also taking part were its subsidiary Behringer Eisele GmbH from Weilheim / Teck (circular saws) and its French sister company Vernet Behringer (steel construction plants). The market leader in the field of shotblasting technology Rösler GmbH based in Untermerzbach was also present, showcasing the innovative surface treatment of steel sections. Together, the companies have created the “Partners 4 Steel” (P4S) Alliance with solutions from a single source, focusing particularly on the steel stockholding and processing industry
The focus of attention was on economic and technological aspects of sawing technology both in technical presentations and also live at the machines. With topics such as “cutting of special materials” or “sawing technology meets intralogistics”, the company was addressing some of the issues currently under discussion among experts in the industry. By taking part in an exciting tour through the factory halls, the visitors had the opportunity to experience the different sawing technologies on offer.
The new HBE Dynamic Mitre Bandsaw, Behringer GmbH was not only looking to address customers’ present needs: “We develop and think ahead for the markets of tomorrow,” said CEO Christian Behringer. This new generation of mitre bandsawing machines is simple in terms of handling, offers a high cutting output and precise angles.
Visitors were also fascinated by the presented combination of sawing and robot technology. A robot equipped with a strong magnet gripped sawn sections from the sawing area of the circular and band sawing machine and deposited them on a cleaning station. Here, the chips were removed before the robot engaged the part again and placed it on a scale. The last step was to implement a signature on the cut surface and place the part in a crate.
Automated system solutions with combined production plants for profile steel machining were demonstrated by the company in the form of a networked sawing, drilling, shotblasting and preservation line. The Partners 4 Steel – Behringer, Vernet Behringer and Rösler – operate on the principle of providing everything from a single source.
Visitors had the chance to experience solutions for cutting slabs and large-format plates at an exhibit featuring large-scale bandsawing machines. “Sawing large dimensions is an issue both for manual one-off cuts and for fully automated application in low-manned operation,” explained by Christian Behringer , adding: “We aimed to inspire our customers at the World of Saws and to encourage them to exchange expert knowledge with us at first hand during the exhibition.”
Visitors also had the opportunity to experience lean foundry processes by taking part in a tour through the ultra-modern Behringer foundry. By joining forces to create an efficient team, designers and foundry specialists ensure that process optimization is not just another buzz word.
