Abstract: A method for sawing a metal tube 3 or hollow section using a band-saw machine which has a stationary lower saw part 1 having a saw table 2 for placing and fixing a metal tube 3 to be sawn, and an upper saw part 4 which is movable in relation to the lower saw part 1 and which has a revolving saw band 5. The revolving saw band 5 via a feed motion 13 of the upper saw part 4, which is performed in relation to the lower saw part 1, penetrates the metal tube 3 and, for performing a saw cut, is guided through said metal tube 3. The feed motion is carried out substantially counter to the force of gravity.

Abstract: A method for controlling a sawing machine is provided. For a first cut in a workpiece, a working feed rate that is specific to the workpiece geometry, the workpiece material and the sawing tool is defined in advance. During the first cut, an instantaneous value of a physical variable is determined at a frequency converter, that is related to the torque transmitted by the sawing tool drive to the sawing tool, and this value is transmitted as an instantaneous torque value to a machine controller. The instantaneous torque value is continuously evaluated, a maximum torque value of the first cut is determined and a maximum value for the torque value is defined based thereon. For subsequent cuts in the same workpiece, the working feed rate is regulated, using the instantaneous torque value as a regulating variable, such that the instantaneous torque value is kept constant, close to the maximum valve.

Abstract: A sawing machine having a sawing bench and clamping jaws, which are movable back and forth, for positioning workpieces, and an upper saw part generates a sawing feeding movement extending in a cutting plane and carries a sawing tool. A machine controller controls movement sequences and the clamping jaws to clamp the workpiece in a zero position with a front end side of the workpiece located in the cutting plane, and moves the clamped workpiece from the zero position into a cutting position. The machine controller clamps the workpiece in the clamping jaws and then waits for an offset value input which corresponds to the distance of the front end side of the workpiece from the zero position. Then, it moves the workpiece into the zero position by advancing or retracting the clamping jaws, taking into consideration the offset value, re-clamping it and moving it into the cutting position by way of a feeding movement.

Abstract: A band guiding device for a saw band of a machine saw, having sliding blocks 3 for a sliding contact with the saw band and having a support 2 which can be mounted on the machine saw and on which the sliding blocks 3 are held. The sliding blocks 3 are held on the support 2 by releasable fastening elements 9, 12. The support 2 includes a substantially flat mounting surface 13 for mounting the sliding blocks 3. This mounting surface 13 is provided with a plurality of fastening points 9 for the sliding blocks 3, wherein the number of fastening points 9 is greater than the number of sliding blocks 3.

Abstract: A method for controlling a sawing machine with a sawing tool, which is driven by an electrical sawing tool drive with a first frequency converter, and with a sawing feed device for moving the driven sawing tool at a feed rate in relation to a workpiece to be sawn, and also to such a sawing machine. The feed rate is changed over from an idling feed rate to a working feed rate when the sawing tool engages in the workpiece. A value of a physical variable which corresponds to the torque transferred from the sawing tool drive to the sawing tool or from which a change in this torque can be calculated is determined here at the first frequency converter. The changeover from the idling feed rate to the working feed rate takes place in dependence on the value of this physical variable.

Abstract: A method for managing drilling rods, drilling tools, well—tubing and the like for ground drilling, particularly for exploring deposits of fossil fuels or geothermal reservoirs. An electronic data processing system stores information regarding the inventory and the present storage location of parts to be inserted into the well, such as drilling rods, drilling pipes, lining tubing, intermediate parts, drill bits, and the like, with additional information being saved in the computing system regarding the installation position and/or installation sequence of all parts inserted into the well so that the computing system can indicate to a user when and from where which part shall be fed to the well hole—supply system and/or to what location which part shall be returned to for storage when it must be removed from the well, and/or the computing system controls an automatic storage, supply, and restorage device.

Abstract: A guide for a saw band or blade of a sawing machine is provided. The guide includes a bracket and high-strength sliders, which are mounted to a bracket for a lateral guide of the saw band or saw blade and which serve for gliding contact to a side face of the saw band or blade. The sliders are high-strength guide plates, provided with an edge upstream in reference to the direction of motion of the saw blade or saw band, which is at least partially arranged in a straight manner or with a constant curve, with the edge or its tangents extending tilted at an angle from approximately 0° to 90°, preferably from 20° to 70°, in reference to the direction of motion of the saw blade or the saw band. Furthermore, several guide plates are mounted to the bracket at a distance from each other, forming clear spaces.

Abstract: A storage rack having a shelf with storage spaces, arranged over top of each other, for pallets that are horizontally removed sideways. A rack operating device moves the pallets from the spaces, and a station cart forms a lowermost space for a pallet, and can be horizontally moved from the rack on first rails. An upper cart is located above the station cart and forms another one of the spaces to receive a pallet and is horizontally movable on second rails that have a wider track than the first rails and also lead out of the rack. The upper cart has a greater clearance in an area of the station cart which is larger than a length of the pallet, and runs on the second rails, and parts of the upper cart not related to the support structure thereof can be inserted between the vertical rack supports of the rack.
