Outstanding success for engineering company from Schwerte
RSA wins Innovation Award "MM Award 2016"



Great joy at RSA cutting technologies GmbH, which is located in Schwerte's industrial park Nattland: they won the international renowned "MM Award 2016" in the category "separation technology"with the layer saw RASACUT LS 150, which has been presented in April 2016 for the first time. This award appreciates outstanding innovations in the metal processing, which give users, environment and society a huge benefit. The award has been received during a ceremony by the RSA Managing Director Dipl. Wirt.-Ing., Dipl.-Ing. Thomas Berg and  Development Manager Stephan Feldhoff on the 13th of September 2016 at the AMB - international exhibition for metal processing- in Stuttgart.

RSA produces with over 100 employees high performance cold circular saws, deburring systems, industrial brushes and saw blades for the global market. The products are successfully used in the automotive and furniture industry as well as in the steel trade. The company founded in 1971 in Ludenscheid is located in Schwerte since 2012 and is in the meantime one of the biggest company settlement in the industrial park Nattland. The two RSA Managing Directors Thomas Berg and Markus Sommer mention the enormous support of the business development Unna as well as the mayor of Schwerte Heinrich Böckelühr  as a reason for the change of location.

Only one instead of 4 machines

By means of their new developed servo clamping, the layer saw RASACUT LS 150 can saw especially thin-walled tubes, tubes with a difficult ratio between diameter and wall thickness as well as tubes with a stability higher than 1.200 N/mm² in single, double and triple cut. It replaces three cold circular saws or four band saws. Futhermore, workpieces, that had to be produced with a complex laser processing in the past, can be sawn much more rational with the new RSA innovation. Another advantage is that after the saw many other production steps like deburring, chamfering, checking, washing, drying and unloading can be executed.

The value which can be saved with the layer saw RASACUT LS 150 in material and energy can be more than € 300.000 per year. Thereby, the machine is not only very economical, but makes also a major contribution to the energy saving and the responsable use of valuable resources.
