Precision Sawing Services at IIDEA

IIDEA Limited offer an extensive range of metal sawing services from our production facility on the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Catcliffe which is situated between Sheffield and Rotherham in South Yorkshire, UK. Our talents lie in the precision sawing of difficult to work with metallic materials. We have invested in a range of saws small and large and currently have the two largest vertical band saws on the Advanced Manufacturing Park – the Temelsan DK2000 which arrived with us in spring 2023, this is a true monster of a vertical band saw which sits alongside our previous largest saw on the AMP, the Danobat VP 50.50.120.

​

IIDEA’s range of bandsaws means we can quickly and accurately divide material using the most appropriate piece of equipment for the size of material concerned. For the initial breakdown of larger pieces, we would use our biggest saws to cut large pieces of material into more manageable sections ahead of more detailed cutting on our smaller saws. The Danobat VP 50.50.120 is an extremely versatile machine with a table to clamp material to which means we are able to cut material at almost any angle.

 

Our most recent (and largest) saw, the Temelsan DK2000 is suited to large or awkward shaped pieces, or can quickly perform initial cuts on bigger pieces ready for further sawing on our other saws. Our machines and expertise mean that we are able to take in large pieces of material up to 3 tonnes and resize down to the required size, for example cutting test pieces from large forgings or components as part of component evaluation exercises for example.

Sawing Centres

 

Below is a list of the sawing centres at IIDEA Limited.  These machines provide us with a wide range of metal sawing capability.

Danobat CR260AF

 

The Danobat CR260AF is a modern, twin column automatic bandsaw designed and manufactured to undertake fast and accurate cutting of hard metallic materials. This is probably our most utilised sawing centre.  This saw is ideally suited to both the cutting of long bars down into smaller pieces for further processing as well as more detailed cutting of smaller items such as extraction of test piece blanks taken from forgings or components requiring metallurgical investigation.

​

Danobat VP 50.50.120

 

The Danobat VP 50.50.120 is a versatile, vertical bandsaw designed to handle a variety of metallic material grades. This saw is useful for both initial breakdown of larger items as well as more detailed cutting on difficult shaped items in plate and block form. The Danobat VP 50.50.120 is now the second largest vertical bandsaw located on the Advanced Manufacturing Park having been pushed into second place by our new Temelsan DK2000 but remains highly utilised on a diverse range of cutting tasks.

​

Temelsan DK2000

 

The Temelsan DK2000 is our largest saw with a table measuring 1600mm wide x 2000mm long, it has a maximum cutting height of 810mm and a throat width of 800mm.

​
