Saws for Grids – ARG 1100 DC GR

Dual-column band saw is designed for cutting sheet material such as metal grids or large metals or other materials. The machine allows only perpendicular cuts. Massive dual-column support of the saw band arm moving on linear guidance and sturdy construction of the saw band arm ensure excellent stiffness of the whole system, accurate cutting and long service life even in continuous operations. In comparison with standard band saws with saw band speed of ca. 40–80 m/min. the industrial cutting of grids requires high saw band speed, up to 200 m/min. For this reason the machine is fitted with large-diameter running wheels. That reduces the stress on the saw band and ensures its high service life even at high cutting speeds.

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.

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.
