Leitz has designed new laser ornaments for its circular saw blades. These reduce vibration generated during cutting and thus increase stability and improve the quiet running of the circular saw blade. The benefit of the new laser ornaments allows better cutting quality, higher RPM and increased noise reduction. In cooperation with the Institute for Machine Tools at the Stuttgart University, Leitz has also designed a specific damping mass that can fill the ornaments. They reinforce the vibration dampening and by this release the positive effect of the laser ornaments.

 

“The lower the vibration of the circular saw blades during the cutting process, the better the cut quality and lower the noise emission. New laser ornaments and a specific damping material on Leitz circular saw blades have precisely this effect”. Leitz has divided its program of circular saw blades into three quality levels. The entry, the Premium and the Excellent level. The Premium range has the new laser ornaments, optimized gullets and tooth heights to reduce air turbulence and have to have a positive effect to influence the vibration behavior of the saw blades. The laser ornaments on the Excellent variants are filled with the new damping material and achieve optimal stability and quiet running.

 

leitz 1 copy“In the development of circular saw blades we pursue several goals”, says Andreas Kisselbach, Head of Leitz Research & Development at Leitz. By reducing the cutting forces, the energy used by the circular saw blades can be reduced and reducing the cutting width of the blades, the material waste can be reduced and yield increased. In order for circular saw blades for specific working materials to be developed, tooth shapes and other factors are optimised. Looking at alternative tungsten carbide types and diamond to increase performance times are also a permanent topic. “Increasing the stability of circular saw blades is another development in focus “, as per Kisselbach. “Today, a circular saw blade has to be capable to process many different working materials. Each of them requires different cutting speeds“, he added further, therefore, circular saw blades have be able to run at any RPM. The new laser ornaments and the damping material would be a means to increased stability.
