Double-column Semi-automatic

Double column semi-automatic bandsaw machines – double column support of the saw band arm on linear guidance ensures maximum stiffness of the complete system and the cutting accuracy as well. Due to its massive construction the machine is suitable for the use in the industrial cutting of materials of large cross-sections even in the most challenging and non-stop applications. All types are equipped with a high-performance industrial hydraulic unit. Pressing a single switch will execute complete cutting cycle – material clamping, saw blade and cooling system start, cutting, saw blade and cooling stop, arm uplift to the original adjustable position and vice unclamping. All functions can also be controlled individually in the manual mode. Basic versions of all types are fitted with high-performance engine that drive the saw blade with continuous regulation of the saw blade speed by means of a frequency converter, screw conveyor and by regulation of the vice pressure.

RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN CHOOSING A BANDSAW FOR METAL CUTTING

The main, essential criterion for the choice is the size of the saw blade. 

Saw blades are manufactured in the following standard sizes: 13×0,65; 20×0,9; 27×0,9; 34×1,1; 41×1,3; 54×1,6; 67×1,6…
In general, the larger the diameter of the material, and the greater the volume of the cut pieces – the bigger the saw blade.

As an example, we will use full material with the diameter of 100 mm, grade 11 600, DIN ST 60-2.

1. Individual pieces in a month
Saw blade 13×0,65 mm, manual bandsaw for metal cutting ARG 105 mobile, ARG 130, cutting time approx. 9 min.
This saw blade is not manufactured in higher quality, M 51, that is suitable for cutting of high-grade materials.

2. Dozens of pieces per month

5. Thousands of pieces per month
Saw blade 34×1,1 mm, bandsaw for metal cutting 2-column CNC automatic machine ARG 330 DC CF-NC, cutting time approx. 1 min. Cutting in bundles possible.

Cutting times are indicative. They depend on the tooth size, optimum cutting speed and wear of the saw blade. There is a number of options here. The choice depends on the overall range of the material. There are usually more options for the choice of the size and type of the bandsaw, which also implies the price of the machine. Our specialists of the Sales Department will be happy to help you with the selection of the optimal bandsaw according to your needs.
