IMA Schelling Precision and TAC - Combined expertise for cutting aluminium

Top performance and cutting results

Teaming up for ultimate performance: the long-standing cooperation between IMA Schelling Precision and application and tool specialist TAC Performance creates the conditions for high-performance system solutions for cut-to-size operations on aluminium. The partners exhibited together at ALUMINIUM 2024 in Düsseldorf, demonstrating that they are strong team players who place top priority on innovation and efficiency in aluminium processing.

"Our customers benefit from our in-depth know-how around machines, applications and technology," says Markus Freuis, Manager of the Business Unit Precision at IMA Schelling. "Combining our expertise sets synergies in motion and lays the groundwork for comprehensive cut-to-size solutions in aluminium processing." One stand-out product resulting from this partnership is the TAC saw blades that were specially developed for the plate saws from IMA Schelling Precision. These high-performance tools have been precisely tailored to the machines' requirements, guaranteeing top performance and cutting results.

The application models designed by TAC, which can be used for processing aluminium as well as many other materials, are another key element in the partners' collaboration, significantly boosting customer profitability and helping to increase production output. A further strength of IMA Schelling Precision and TAC's joint portfolio is the comprehensive training and consulting they provide their customers. TAC offers live training on production machines at the customer's premises that are designed to give employees optimal instruction in handling the machines and tools. In addition, the company offers special technology training for users, production planners and tool managers.

Automation solutions for aluminium processing


As in other industries, digitalisation and automation are making an increasing impact in the aluminium processing sector. IMA Schelling Precision and TAC Performance have responded by offering solutions that are in step with this trend. One example is the option to automatically activate the TAC application models directly on the saw or using the proprietary cutting pattern optimisation (HPO) function in the parameter set management. Saw blade management also ensures that the tools are monitored in an accurate and transparent manner.

In addition to its technical solutions, comprehensive services are a top priority at TAC. The company's logistics solutions for saw blades ensure rapid, reliable tool deliveries. TAC also offers high-quality sharpening and repair services for saw blades to keep tools in an optimal condition at all times.
