Metzner AM 2800 SAW/AM 2850 SAW

Maximum versatility and power for cables up to 15 mm Ø and 35 mm²

With saw module for demanding cable processing

Precise Cutting and Stripping with Saw Cut The Metzner AM 2000 SAW series expands the proven AM 2000 lineup with fully integrated saw modules for precise cable cutting, especially for cables that are difficult to process with conventional blade sets. All machines operate fully automatically and are equipped with state-of-the-art software that sets the saw cut position, blade speed, and feed rate as parameters – ensuring consistently precise results and the highest production quality. Double-Blade and Saw Module for Standard Applications Both machines come standard with a double-blade cutting head and an integrated saw module. This allows cutting, stripping, and longitudinal slitting to be performed in a single operation. The double blade combines V- and radius blades to ensure precise all-around cuts and enable the processing of a wide variety of cable types. The spring-loaded belt feed guides the cable gently but powerfully – guaranteeing material protection and precise cuts. The AM 2850 SAW builds on the functions of the AM 2800 SAW and adds a programmable rotary module, particularly suitable for processing coaxial and multi-layer cables. This provides even greater flexibility while maintaining the precision of the saw cut and multi-step stripping. Like all Metzner models, the SAW machines are compatible with all peripherals of the AM 2000 series and ready for cable lists, MES integration, and automated workflows.
Precise Cuts Even with Challenging Cable Types The saw module of the SAW models allows freely programmable blade speeds (1000–4600 rpm) and variable feed rates (1–30 mm/sec). Cables that cannot be processed with conventional blade sets – such as Sucoform, Sucoflex, or POF cables – are cut precisely, squarely, or with a smooth cut surface, without crushing the inner conductor. Standard features include two pneumatic clamping elements and a connection for extraction. Optional additional blade widths and diameters are available, tailored to cable-specific requirements.
