Metal Cutting Machines

These machines rotate tools affixed with saw blades to cut materials.

These machines are used in the initial sheet metal fabrication processes. They are broadly divided into two types: band saw machines, which cut by rotating a band-shaped blade, and circular saw machines, which cut by rotating a disk-shaped blade. AMADA offers a wide variety of machine bodies and blades to suit the hardness, size, and shape of the material to be cut.
AMADA is known as one of the few companies that develops and manufactures both machine bodies and blades.

Where our metal cutting machines are used

    Vehicle industry

    Automobiles, motorcycles, and other vehicles use a large number of metal parts such as gears and valves. These parts, which are built into engines, transmissions, and other components, are made by forging and grinding of steel that has been prepared with a metal cutting machine. Metal cutting machines thus handle the important first process in metal parts manufacture.

    Energy industry

    Electric power generation facilities contain many metal parts, from the turbines that form the core element of thermal, hydroelectic, and other power generating systems to the gear systems used in wind power generation. In the manufacture of these parts, first a steel processing plant uses a metal cutting machine to process steel sheets and bars into shape. The cut steel is then worked at a machine processing plant into high-precision parts ready for assembly. Metal cutting machines thus occupy the most upstream position in the metal parts manufacturing process.

    Steel industry

    This is a wholesale operation that sources various types and sizes of metal from steel manufacturers. The metal is then cut and sold to manufacturing plants. The shapes vary from solid steel and hollow forms such as pipes to H- or L-shaped angle and channel pieces, with the types of steel also extending across a wide range. We keep a permanent stock of various types of steel, and this enables us to support different industries by performing the required cut processing for quick delivery in response to customer needs.

      General industrial products

      The material prepared on our metal cutting machines goes through a range of machine and press processing stages before manufacture into a wide range of machine parts, industrial parts, and other components.

      Automotive parts

      Forged parts such as connecting rods, crankshafts, rocker arms, gears, and constant velocity joints are made from material that has first been processed with a metal cutting machine.

      Industrial machinery

      Industrial machinery including machine tools, machinery for construction, agriculture, and woodworking are made of many parts. The parts are made from steel that is cut out using a metal cutting machine and then go through machine processing.

      Railway vehicles

      Axles, transmissions, and other rolling stock parts are manufactured by cutting steel into parts with a metal cutting machine and going through machine processing.
