Fully Automatic Round Steel Sawing Production Line Gains Market Attention, with Long‑Term Adoption by Benchmark Customers Including Qingdao Anchor Chain

Recently, Shandong Zibo Hanlong Machinery’s CNC‑120 round steel sawing production line has been gaining considerable attention across the industry. The equipment addresses real‑world problems in batch sawing of bar stock, such as high labor demand, inconsistent dimensions, and material waste. It has now been deployed in multiple sectors including automotive parts, bearing processing, mold manufacturing, and anchor chain production.

User feedback indicates that the most immediate benefit is labor savings. Previously, each sawing machine required at least one dedicated operator. Now, workers simply place bundled bars onto the storage rack, and the subsequent steps—material feeding, positioning, clamping, sawing, and discharging—are all performed automatically by the equipment. One operator can easily oversee three or four machines simultaneously. Thanks to automated operation, every cut piece maintains excellent dimensional consistency, eliminating the need for sorting in downstream processes and significantly improving overall efficiency.

In terms of material usage, the feeding system positions accurately, allowing fine control over head and tail offcuts. Over time, this results in substantial material savings. The workshop environment is also much cleaner compared to traditional saws: there is no heavy cutting oil splashing, and chips are promptly removed by an integrated chip conveyor.

The anchor chain industry demands exceptionally high equipment stability. Qingdao Anchor Chain Co., Ltd. has been using Hanlong Machinery’s CNC‑120 for nearly five years with consistently smooth operation. The fact that the equipment can hold up in the anchor chain sector speaks volumes about its reliability.
