New Source Corporation’s custom-built Tsune saw enhances customer success through precision and efficiency. As one of the trusted aerospace aluminum suppliers, the company provides high-quality, cut-to-size precision cut aerospace aluminum extrusions that customers can use immediately, thereby saving time and money. These precision-cut solutions support manufacturers that rely on aerospace aluminum components, including tubing, rod, and aerospace aluminum bar for mission-critical applications.
The TK5M-90GL was designed specifically for cutting hard alloy extruded shapes like aluminum extrusions, rod, bar, and tubing to meet the unique specifications of end users. This capability supports customers looking for a reliable aerospace aluminum extrusion supplier or even an aluminum bar supplier for highly specialized aerospace-grade material requirements. The system was customized based on the sizes of the materials commonly used and the precision cuts required, in keeping with New Source Corporation’s commitment to long-term partnerships and understanding customer needs.
Not only does this specificity allow the team to meet customer requirements efficiently and effectively, but the automated computer numerical control (CNC) saw is implemented in accordance with all applicable certifications and partnerships, reinforcing the company’s quality commitment as one of the top aerospace aluminum suppliers.
The saw can cut anything with a circle size of up to a 3.54-inch diameter, splitting materials with high precision at remarkable speeds and in various sizes. The resulting ready-to-use materials minimize waste and maximize efficiency for customers who rely on precision cut aerospace aluminum for their production processes.
Save time and money
Operations can be improved by placing precision-cut material directly into assembly and working on it immediately without spending more on extra material or creating scrap. Instead of purchasing full, 12-foot industry standard lengths, customers can order the finished sizes they need, maximizing efficiency when working with aerospace aluminum and aerospace aluminum bars.
More efficient supply chains can also be created by combining precision-cut materials with New Source Corporation’s Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) service. Material is packaged and shipped exactly when needed from bi-coastal warehouses, supporting consistent availability of precision cut aerospace aluminum and related products.
Because the saw was built specifically for aluminum extrusions and tubing, featuring a larger-than-typical outfeeder table, the benefits extend even further. By automating part of the cutting process, New Source Corporation generates savings that are passed along to customers as lower costs. Additional time and resources can be devoted to hands-on projects that require specialized expertise, further improving customer support as a dependable aluminum bar supplier.
Leverage cutting-edge technology
The Tsune TK5M-90GL has the latest features for producing high-quality, precision-cut aluminum extrusions and tubing, including:
- Blades that spin faster than other saws to improve cut quality.
- Ball screws that ensure the highest quality cuts with exceptionally high precision.
- Specialized non-ferrous blade guides that stabilize the blade while cutting.
Key specifications include:
| Capacity (Round) | 10mm – 90mm | 0.394in – 3.543in |
| Capacity (Square) | 10mm – 80mm | 0.394in – 3.149in |
| Cut Off Length | 10mm – End of Bar | 0.394in – End of Bar |
| Magazine Width | 700mm | 27.56in |
| Material Length (standard) | 2.6 – 6m | 8.5 – 20ft |
| Max Loading Weight | 820 kg | 1,808 lbs |
| Auto Loader Weight | 550 kg | 1,213 lbs |
Improve safety and quality
Also, safety and quality enhancements increase productivity and satisfaction. Instead of supplying a minimum of 144 inches of material to machine shops that don’t necessarily have the number of personnel or the capabilities that we do, we can provide you with high-quality, precision-cut pieces that meet your exact requirements without having your team cut materials manually.
Material does not get damaged during cutting because it does not drop. A custom-built, larger-than-typical outfeeder table feeds material onto a specialized conveyor belt, where it is inspected by quality-trained personnel. These processes help ensure the reliability of precision cut aerospace aluminum and other aerospace-grade materials.
Collectively, the precision-cutting capabilities reflect an investment in customers’ growth. When projections are shared, the team helps customers better utilize their material and maintain consistent production using aerospace aluminum and related alloys.
