A domestic knowledge-based company has produced a high quality bandsaw metal cutting machine that is cheaper than its foreign counterparts.
The bandsaw cutting machine is used to cut different hard objects in several industries, according to a member of the Board of Directors of Khatir Machine Company.
“The domestic bandsaw cutting machine, which can be used in different industries, is of high quality and capacity, and provides accurate and easy cutting. The machine can cut different kinds of metals such as copper, iron, aluminum and profiles,” Hamidreza Taqizadeh Khatir was also quoted as saying by the news portal of the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology.
It is one of the main pieces of equipment used in workshops and small industries for cutting materials using the cold cutting method that does not produce sparks. It is considered the safest cutting method in hazardous places, he added.
The company official further said that due to the convenience of using this device and its high speed, the handy device could be used to cut all kinds of materials.
“All safety measures have been taken to prevent any harm to the user, if the machine’s blade breaks or the cover opens during the cutting process. It also helps reduce problems caused by human error,” he said.
Taqizadeh noted that the domestic bandsaw cutting machine costs almost half the price of its foreign counterparts, but has a much higher quality and efficiency.
The production of the company’s knowledge-based products has created 20 direct jobs and about 100 indirect jobs.
The quality of Iran-made products have improved to such an extent that they are being exported and prevent currency outflow by making imports unnecessary.
Domestic CNC Precision Cutting Machine Efficient, Low-Priced
An Iranian knowledge-based company has designed and produced a computer numerical control (CNC) precision cutting machine at a lower price compared with foreign counterparts.
Precision cutting machines are among major pieces of equipment used in a variety of industries and fields, the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology reported.
“CNC design and manufacturing devices are complex and vital machines used in most industries. We have strived to expand our activities in this sector and produce Iranian knowledge-based products,” said Mehdi Mehdipour Aqabaqer, CEO of Sadrafan Gostar Machine Tool and Automation Technology Development Company.
Many molds and industrial parts or models are first designed in 3D using software and then fabricated by CNC machines.
The Iranian company produces different kinds of CNC machines that are employed in academic environments and different industries. Its products are being used in dozens of prestigious Iranian universities, including Isfahan University of Technology, Iran University of Science and Technology and Tarbiat Modares University.
Young engineers of these universities learn the techniques of operating these machines, which comply with international standards.
The company has also produced related software and electronic controllers.
The small- and medium-scale industrial devices of this company are used to produce all kinds of industrial molds, models, works of art and engravings.
A CNC machine, for instance, has the mechanical software for producing dental crowns or implants. Currently, foreign counterparts are sold at 25 to 30 billion rials ($82,000-98,000), but the Iranian company is able to produce the domestic machine at a much lower price and performs efficiently.
High Efficiency Molding Machine
A domestic knowledge-based company has manufactured the rotational molding machine used in the production of plastic bottle caps for different industries.
The second-generation rotational molding machine produces all types and sizes of caps for carbonated soft drink and mineral water bottles.
Hossein Ebrahimpour, a member of the Board of Directors of Pars Machinery Company, noted that the machine is used for continuous molding and compression.
The machine produces premium quality plastic bottle caps by using polypropylene and polyethylene resin materials.
The domestically-built machine is fully automatic and has an efficiency higher than that of traditional counterparts, in addition to having low material consumption and making time and energy savings. It is completely computer controlled and has excellent stability and durability.
Ebrahimpour explained that the production of this low-cost machine has prevented a large outflow of foreign currency and unnecessary imports.
Caps made by this machine have high precision, a smooth and beautiful appearance without an injection point.
Compared to traditional counterparts, this machine’s threefold output and low waste are among its other advantages. It has a comparatively smaller size and requires fewer manpower.
In case of special requests by customers for printing signs and logos, it can be undertaken at low cost.
Hydraulic rotary presses are specially designed for the production of thermoplastic products using compression. More than 45% of plastic beverage lids are produced by pressing and compression.
Most plastic bottle caps are manufactured through a process known as injection molding. In this process, thermoplastic polymer pellets are heated in a metal hopper to the point that they become soft and flexible.
