A universal semiautomatic band saw of a double-column construction, designed double-sided mitre cuts. Thanks to their arms rigidity, double-column band saws with both-sided linear guiding achieve much shorter cutting times, especially in cutting full materials, than machines with articulated saw arms. The outstanding cutting power of the machine results from the following features: a three-sided hardmetal band precision guide, a saw arm laid both-sided on preloaded linear guides, a 41 mm high saw band and lastly, a synchronous run- ning brush for chips disposal.
Material clamping and arm downfeed are controlled hydraulically, while the material feed is manual. The whole work cycle is completed at the press of a single button: the material is clamped, the saw band starts up, cutting is carried out, the arm is raised to the set top position, and the vice is opened. After switching the machine to the manual mode, all functions of the machine may be controlled separately.
All control elements are located on the freely- adjustable control panel. The saw swivelling range is continuous in the range from 60° right to 60° left with stable position of the clamped material. Material clamping is performed by a full-stroke vice.
The basic equipment is frequency converter that allows the saw band’s optimal speed to be set against the processed material within the 20–120 m/ min range. This signi cantly increases both the saw band lifetime and the machine’s productivity.
The saw band is tilted against the vice load surface at a 2° angle, which also signicantly shortens cutting times and contributes to a longer saw band lifetime. The standard equipment also includes auto- matic downfeed pressure regulation dependent on the resistance of the processed material on both guiding cubes and continuously adjustable arm downfeed from freely-adjustable control panel.
The machine can be extended by a wide range of accessories such as LaserLiner to indicate the cut, additional lighting or even mist lubrica- tion device (microniser). The machine can be adapted to specifc user requirements also by roller conveyors for the the input and output of the material, length stops or transverse cross feeders.
