Pilous ARG 300 Plus E Bandsaws (Pilous ARG 300 Plus E Bandsaws)

The universal band saw is expected to find application in many areas from facilities with non-stop operation to metalworking and maintenance workshops. It is equipped with an industrial saw band 27 x 0.9 mm, manufactured in many versions, which allows for cutting of a wide range of materials, including stainless steel or tool steel. The band saw arm uplift is manual; the feed into cut is carried out by the weight of the arm, with the possibility of continuous fine adjustment by oil damper butterfly valve. When the cut is finished, the band saw drive automatically switches off. 
The vice system also makes the machine highly versatile, enabling continuous adjustment of the cutting angle on both sides within the range of 60° to the right and 45° to the left. The turntable rotates with the saw belt. This prevents the saw blade from cutting into the loading surface of the vice. To facilitate easy arm uplift the machine is equipped with adjustable tension springs that allow for setting of optimum force required for the arm uplift according to characteristics of the material to be cut.
The most advanced concept of the arm casting creates a closed section that is hollow along its full length at all load-carrying points. This guarantees outstanding stiffness of the entire system, maximum accuracy during cutting and a long service life of the saw blades. All electrical wiring and the coolant delivery system are concealed in hollow parts of the arm, which means they are protected from damage. The new concept of the arm also brings a great simplification when changing the saw band or when cleaning the inside of the arm. You just need to open the hinged back cover of the arm and it will stay locked in the upper position. Apart from the new saw arm design, there are many technological adjustments and innovations that improve user comfort as well as the quality and durability of the machine. As an accessory, it is possible to use the cleaning brush of the saw band that is synchronously driven by the driving wheel.

• Robust machine framework composed of castings from grey cast iron guarantees excellent vibration absorption.
• Modern concept of the band saw arm allows for large cutting ranges in upright and angular cuts.
• Simple locking and adjusting of the desired cutting angle on the angle scale with stops fixed at 45°, 60° and 90°.
• Massive quick-clamping vice ensures easy and reliable workpiece clamping.
• Large-diameter running wheels and precise three-side hardened steel blade guides ensure long service life of the band and cutting accuracy.
• Overdesign of the running wheel bearings, the tensioning wheel system and all the rotary parts helps extend the service life of the machine in long run.
• Noiseless and maintenance-free drive of the saw band is provided by an industrial electric motor with worm gearbox.
• Three-phase, two-speed motor (400 V) allows you to choose the band speed of 40 and 80 m/min. Version ARG 300 PLUS E.F. is equipped with frequency converter, which enables continuous blade speed regulation between 15 - 90 m/min (2,2 kW motor).
• The machine is connected to a complete cooling system with a high-performance pump, with the ability of regulating the flow on both guiding heads independently. Coolant tank with a pump is placed in the base of the machine.
• Easy control by ergonomically placed controls (electrical and hydraulics) located on the base of the machine.
• The machine is equipped with an adjustable workpiece limit stop with 250 mm scale.

• Workpiece stop - Standard equipment

  Simple stop for setting the required length of the material to be cut.

• Frequency converter

  Enables continuous blade speed regulation between 15–90 m/min. and thus setting the optimum cutting conditions for the given material.

• Pressure device

  Used to clamp the bundles of material to be cut. Ensures simple and reliable material clamping using a vertical contact pressure.

• Halogen lamp

  Provides good lighting of the workplace of the machine. An invaluable tool especially when the lighting at the workplace is insufficient.

• Oil mist lubrication

  Creates an oil mist that is sprayed onto the cutting edge. It replaces the use of a classic coolant, especially when cutting sections during which leakages may occur. Possibility of using organic oils.

• Laser alignment

  High-quality industrial laser projects the cutting line on the material to be cut. Makes the setting of the required material length simpler, faster and more accurate.

• Workpiece stop 500 mm

  Robust stop with a 500mm scale for setting the required length of the material to be cut.

• Cleaning brush

  Steel cleaning brush, driven by driving wheel. Used to remove chips from the saw band behind the cut.

• Saw band tension indicator

  Ensures accurate tensioning of the saw band to a required value according to the pressure gauge and its control during the use of the machine. Optimum tensioning of the saw band is essential for its service life and cutting accuracy.

• Auto-start descent of the arm

  In standard machines, the control valve of the arm descent has to be shut after the arm uplift and by the next arm descent, the descent speed has to be set again. In this version, the control valve is additionally fitted with an electro-hydraulic valve, which remains after the arm uplift in the set position. After saw blade start, it is automatically released and the arm descents into the cut at a set speed. Thus, setting of the descent speed for each cut falls off. This significantly eliminates operator error and thus protects the saw blades, and increases also productivity of the machine. An ideal help when cutting material in larger series.
