Oversized precision ground, large dual columns support and guide the rugged saw head through the entire cutting cycle. The saw head adopts a back tilt design which allows the blade to twist less than traditional bandsaws between the wheel and blade guide; thereby putting less stress on the blade, insuring longer life.
The oversized round columns provide hundreds of square inches of continuous surface contact with the sawhead throughout the entire cutting process.
Cross link is located on the top of the columns, connecting the two columns to form an archway design that gives it sound structural strength.
Hydraulic shuttle vise assembly, made of heavy-duty cast iron with replaceable hardened wear plates, rides on two large guide shafts that are capable of handling extreme loads. Both shafts are ground and chrome plated for durability and smooth material feeding.
The gearbox is specifically designed to accept high lateral pressure. Unlike conventional gearboxes, the Clausing design accepts more pressure during operation and will not create thermal distortion, providing long gearbox life under production conditions.
Inverter blade drive system allows infinitely variable blade speeds to be controlled by the operator from the control panel with the turn of a knob. The system comes standard with LED readout for convenient and accurate setting of blade speed.
Carbide blade guides are activated hydraulically for consistent and correct guide clamping to insure straight cuts. The guides are relieved to provide unsurpassed lubrication and cooling of the blade and blade guides.
The bearing guides eliminate blade stress by pre-aligning the blade before it enters the carbide guides. Two additional guides located on a central axis support the blade from the top, giving it extra penetrating force for faster cuts.
Heavy-duty cast guide arms effectively absorb vibration and enhance cutting result. The movable guide arm is hydraulically actuated ensuring rapid and accurate movement.
Automatic hydraulic blade tensioning device provides correct blade tensioning when the machine is turned on and will slightly release the tension when the machine is not running. This extends blade life. The on-off hydraulic valve switch is an added feature making blade change quicker and easier.
Integral coolant system. Coolant is supplied at three critical points: exit and entry of blade through blade guides, and middle of cut via adjustable flex hose.
The machine base is designed with pitch to drain the coolant back to the coolant tank.
Synchronized power driven blade brush effectively cleans chips from blade to extend blade life.
The operator’s control station located independently from the saw is convenient and user friendly. All operator controls are positioned on the top of the control box and clearly labeled for ease of operation. The electrical components are located inside the control box with the main lockout disconnect on the front of the control box for safety and easy maintenance.
Smart NC-20 (SNC20) technology provides most of the benefits of NC controlled saws at a mere fraction of the cost. SNC20 controls are programmable to 20 different jobs including quantity and length of cut. The control automatically compensates for Kerf loss after data input and requires no manual calculation of number of times to index. The control also automatically shuts down the machine, blade motor and hydraulics, once the programmed number of cuts or out of stock situation has been achieved. The system includes an error feedback function enabling rapid troubleshooting through an error code to be displayed in the event of a malfunction.
Precision feed pressure and feed rate dual system for optimal cutting performance in any model.
Selector switch for bundle or single cutting modes
Automatic work height sensor and air gap eliminator positions the saw frame to a safe clearance above the work piece, so that the next piece can be positioned without damaging the blade. After feeding, the saw head will descend quickly to within approximately 3 mm of work piece, where it proceeds at the predetermined cutting rates.
Double retracting vise jaws. Both jaws of the index vise open (retract) and close assuring smooth material feeding, especially helpful for misaligned or cambered material.
Full stroke hydraulic front and rear vises enable clamping and unclamping of any material from the operator’s control station with touch of a button.
Ductile cast iron vise with replaceable hardened wear plates.
Smart NC controlled multiple indexing for long cutting lengths of up to 6500mm maximum length, utilizing full shuttle length every index until desired length is reached.
Multiple horizontal rollers strategically located throughout the saw work bed to facilitate smooth obstacle-free feeding of even the heaviest material.
Idle wheel motion proximity switches sense both blade slippage and blade breakage and will automatically shut off the machine if either of these conditions should occur.
All blade covers and guarding on the saw are painted Alert Orange to increase safety alertness.
All exposed electric wiring and hydraulic circuit are protected by conduits.
Electrical and hydraulic safety interlock prevents saw blade to start without vises securely clamped.
