Lancashire Saw Company relies on state-of-the-art sharpening technology from Iseli

Through targeted investments in modern production and sharpening technology, Lancashire Saw Company is sustainably strengthening its site in Blackburn (UK). As part of a comprehensive modernisation, several highly automated Iseli machines have been installed – with the clear goal of taking efficiency, precision and process reliability to a new level.

Investing in Innovation

Since the acquisition by James Jones & Sons, over £2 million has been invested in infrastructure, machinery and production processes. At the heart of this development is a state-of-the-art bandsaw production line featuring automated sharpening and processing systems from Iseli.

• BNA 100 – Automatic stellite hard-facing machine
• BNF 100 – 4-axis CNC side grinding machine
• BNP 200 – 4-axis CNC profile grinding machine
• BNR 100 – Automatic straightening, tensioning and levelling machine

This combination enables fully automated bandsaw processing at the highest quality level.

Technology in Live Action

As part of a two-day Open Day, Lancashire Saw presented the new equipment in live operation. Industry representatives from the sawing sector took the opportunity to see the machines in action and exchange views on the technical possibilities.

The demonstrations impressively showcased:

• High repeatability
• Efficient process workflows
• Reduced non-productive times
• Consistently reproducible grinding results

People Make the Difference

Alongside the technological modernisation, Lancashire Saw deliberately draws on the strength of its team. With a combined total of 414 years of experience, the approximately 30 employees bring an enormous depth of expertise to their daily work – a combination of tradition and high technology.

A Partnership on Equal Terms

The close collaboration between Lancashire Saw and Iseli is a prime example of a partnership-driven approach to development in the sawing industry. The goal is to continuously optimise existing processes while securing long-term competitiveness.
