New bandsawing concept
March 1st 2006 A new Pulse-Cutting Amada Bandsaw will be exhibited on the Birkett Cutmaster Stand. The Amada PCSAW330, Single Pulse- Cutting Bandsaw reduces cutting resistance by pulsing in the downward direction of the blade and is part of a new range of band-saws which dramatically reduce production cutting times, blade chattering and noise levels. Unlike a conventional bandsaw, which produces high noise levels when cutting large diameters and sections, sound levels are kept to an environmentally friendly 'hum'.
Cutmaster can also supply a Double Pulsed Amada PCSAW 700 bandsaw which reduces cutting resistance and restrains chattering oscillation and noise by pulsing the blade in both horizontal and vertical directions.
These machines provide an extremely smooth sawing action - allowing cutting speeds which are twice as fast as those produced by a conventional band-saw.
Wear on standard M42 bimetal blades is reduced by as much as 50%.
The smooth cutting action offers a solution for difficult-to-cut materials such as stainless steel, dies steel, titanium and inconel. When cutting these materials with a conventional band-saw, the blade tooth tips are not completely effective and tend to abrade the material.
This causes the metal to harden, making the cutting operation more difficult and accelerates wear on the tooth tips.
The new Amada Range of Pulse-Cutting Bandsaws saws provide faster sawing speeds and a more economical cost-per-cut. More articles from Birkett Cutmaster Limited: |
