New Literature for AME'S Combined Saw/Drill Unit

Advanced Machine & Engineering Co. (AME) has released new literature describing the Amsaw R-series saw made specifically for high-production cutting of high alloy rails for the railroad industry.

The literature discusses the many features and benefits of the rail saw, including a saw blade changeover time of less than three minutes, hardened spindle gears ground for minimum backlash, a special saw blade guide and dampening device for accurate cutting to stabilize the blade, a low-maintenance design and dry operation in which no coolant is needed. 

The combined saw/drill unit is designed to improve efficiency and productivity. The saw's benefits include smooth, accurate cuts; durable machinery and long tool life, the company said.

An electronic overload device monitors cutting performance and stops the saw feed when necessary. The heavy, welded machine base is ribbed and braced for rigidity. A chip conveyor conveys chips to the rear of the machine for deposit into a tote box.

The R-series saw also offers a flexible setup. It can be combined with an integrated or inline rail hole drill machine for bolted joints at the rail ends or with infeed and outfeed material handling systems.
