Tsune TK5C-160GL
Automatic Circular Sawing Machine with Auto-loader
The new automatic circular sawing machine from Tsune uses the latest in sawing technology to offer a machine that is unrivalled in its high production, precision and low maintenance sawing capability.
For some applications and work environments the new CNC version from Tsune can make life much easier and can eliminate costly operator errors.
The operator programs diameter, cut off length and a steel grade based on the AISI / SAE numbering system and if needed assigns an 8 digit alpha numeric job or part number. These jobs can be stored in the machines memory and only the parts counter needs to be set. Speed, feed and the sawhead position is calculated and optimised for short cycle times and optimum blade life.
Standard Features
- Sawhead feed via maintenance free linear guide system.
- Carbide tipped sawblade
- Variable cutting speeds
- Diagnostics and error code display

Example job:
Material AISI 1015 160mm Dia x 50mm Length Cut Time 33.3 seconds Cycle Time 39.7 seconds Blade Life estimated 2,500 pieces.
Controls
Machine control and set up are achieved via user-friendly colour LCD touch panel together with conventional pushbuttons and switches. Tsune's third generation CNC determines the ideal cutting feed, speed and recommends the correct saw tooth configuration for a wide variety of ferrous metals based on their shape, size and their AISI grade.
Additional parameters such as trim cut length, cut off length and the quantity of parts are programmable. In the event of a machine problem, the touch screen will display relevant diagnostic information. Up to 50 sets of job data can be stored and instantly recalled.
Machine Construction
The saw head is designed for heavy-duty application with massive helical gears and precision saw spindle running in oil and supported by high precision bearings. Cutting speeds are infinitely variable through an inverter drive. The saw feed mechanism utilizes an AC Servo/ ball screw drive for rapid and precise movements, and incorporates a pair of precision heavy duty linear guides for long term cutting accuracy. The mist lubricator applied a precise amount of vegetable based oil mist to the saw blade, leaving the cut parts virtually dry and resulting in a clean work environment.
Auto Loader
The auto loader's simple and sturdy design permits set up changes to be made quickly and from only one convenient location. Like the saw feed, the gripper type material feed employs a pair of linear bearings, and is powered by a servo motor and ball screw drive to ensure high-speed and accurate indexing. The floating mechanism prevents scuffing marks made by the vices during feeding.
