AME'S Combined Saw/Drill Unit Designed For Railroad Industry

Rockford, IL - Advanced Machine & Engineering Co. (AME) offers the Amsaw R-series saw made specifically to cut rails for the railroad industry. 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.

Designed for high-production cutting of ferrous and nonferrous metals, the rail saw offers many features, including a saw blade changeover time of less than 3 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, dry operation in which no coolant is needed, double and triple measurement strokes for extra length cuts and a 32-second clamp to unclamp time.

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; and 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 drilling for bolted joints at the rail ends or with infeed and outfeed material handling systems.
