An automated wheel rim sawing station, comprising: - a clamping band that is C-curved about a main axis A-A' in such a way that the opposite edges of the clamping band delimit a gap, the clamping band being capable of holding an extruded and profiled metal section, having a plurality of windings in the form of turns aligned along the main axis A-A'; and - means (44, 46, 48) for moving the clamping band along a path parallel to the main axis A-A', between an initial position and a final position; and - sawing means capable of sawing the metal section; and - means for moving the sawing means in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the main axis A-A', between: o a rest position, in which the sawing means are setback with respect to the path of the gap; and ∘ a working position, in which the sawing means are present between the initial position and the final position of the clamping band, and present on the path of the gap; and - a control unit configured to pilot the moving means (44, 46, 48) and the sawing means, in such a way as to allow: • positioning the clamping band at the initial position; • positioning the sawing means at the rest position; • moving the clamping band from its initial position to its final position; • moving the sawing means to the working position; • moving the clamping band from its final position to its initial position. - a clamping band that is C-curved about a main axis A-A' in such a way that the opposite edges of the clamping band delimit a gap, the clamping band being capable of holding an extruded and profiled metal section, having a plurality of windings in the form of turns aligned along the main axis A-A'; and - means (44, 46, 48) for moving the clamping band along a path parallel to the main axis A-A', between an initial position and a final position; and - sawing means capable of sawing the metal section; and - means for moving the sawing means in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the main axis A-A', between: o a rest position, in which the sawing means are setback with respect to the path of the gap; and ∘ a working position, in which the sawing means are present between the initial position and the final position of the clamping band, and present on the path of the gap; and o a rest position, in which the sawing means are setback with respect to the path of the gap; and ∘ a working position, in which the sawing means are present between the initial position and the final position of the clamping band, and present on the path of the gap; and - a control unit configured to pilot the moving means (44, 46, 48) and the sawing means, in such a way as to allow: • positioning the clamping band at the initial position; • positioning the sawing means at the rest position; • moving the clamping band from its initial position to its final position; • moving the sawing means to the working position; • moving the clamping band from its final position to its initial position. • positioning the clamping band at the initial position; • positioning the sawing means at the rest position; • moving the clamping band from its initial position to its final position; • moving the sawing means to the working position; • moving the clamping band from its final position to its initial position.
