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 for moving the clamping band along a path parallel to the main axis A-A', between an initial position (I) and a final position (F); 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 (R), in which the sawing means are setback with respect to the path of the gap ; and ∘ a working position (T), in which the sawing means are present between the initial position (I) and the final position (F) of the clamping band , and present on the path of the gap ; and - a control unit configured to pilot the moving means and the sawing means , in such a way as to allow: • positioning the clamping band at the initial position (I); • positioning the sawing means at the rest position (R); • moving the clamping band from its initial position (I) to its final position (F); • moving the sawing means to the working position; • moving the clamping band from its final position (F) to its initial position (I). - 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 for moving the clamping band along a path parallel to the main axis A-A', between an initial position (I) and a final position (F); 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 (R), in which the sawing means are setback with respect to the path of the gap ; and ∘ a working position (T), in which the sawing means are present between the initial position (I) and the final position (F) of the clamping band , and present on the path of the gap ; and o a rest position (R), in which the sawing means are setback with respect to the path of the gap ; and ∘ a working position (T), in which the sawing means are present between the initial position (I) and the final position (F) of the clamping band , and present on the path of the gap ; and - a control unit configured to pilot the moving means and the sawing means , in such a way as to allow: • positioning the clamping band at the initial position (I); • positioning the sawing means at the rest position (R); • moving the clamping band from its initial position (I) to its final position (F); • moving the sawing means to the working position; • moving the clamping band from its final position (F) to its initial position (I). • positioning the clamping band at the initial position (I); • positioning the sawing means at the rest position (R); • moving the clamping band from its initial position (I) to its final position (F); • moving the sawing means to the working position; • moving the clamping band from its final position (F) to its initial position (I). <EOS>
