CMC-KUHNKE AGS-3000 Automatic Can Saw

Brought to you by CMC-KUHNKE, our specialist metal testing brand, the AGS-3000 Automatic Can Saw is the safest device on the market for cutting through metal cans.

Engineered to automatically cut double seams precisely and efficiently, the AGS-3000 has a rugged design that will provide you with years of trouble-free performance. It’s the ideal tool to prepare your cans for double seam imaging and measurement.

Our versatile automatic can saw

The AGS-3000 Automatic Can Saw offers exceptional versatility. You can use it across many can sizes from 200 – 603 (50mm – 153mm).

Whether you’re working with composite cans, plastic bowls, aerosol cans, or even non-round cans, we’ve got you covered!  Plus, the unique drop-in tooling – a customized horizontal chuck – can be changed in seconds

The industry’s safest can saw

Built for operator safety, simply load your steel cans into the AGS-3000 chamber and lock them away behind the secure access door. This chambers your can safely for a hands-free operation that keeps your fingers safe from harm, while trapping seam shavings.

The hinged design gives you full access to the seam saw for safe and quick blade changes. It’s also equipped with a safety interlock, groundfault interrupter and automatic shut-off. So easy to use, the AGS-3000 can saw shouldn’t require any operator training.

Perfect your double seam inspection

If you want to perform highly accurate double seam inspections, then it’s essential that your can saw cuts your can samples precisely and efficiently. Rest assured, you’ll achieve a reliably clear image with the AGS-3000 Automatic Can Saw.

Our can saw uses two parallel blades, one of which is mounted to cut along the can’s diameter. It performs the cross-section without chattering. distorting or changing hook lengths. You get an accurate cut, free from distortion, and with minimal burr.

Create a safer, quieter workspace

In addition to the many features that are designed to keep you safe from harm, the AGS-3000 can saw was also engineered to cut noise. The sound-insulated stainless-steel unit dramatically reduces noise levels to below 90dB with most cans
