Machine Description - Pilous ARG 260 S.A.F. Instruction Manual

4. Machine description

Horizontal metal-cutting band saws allow for cutting of a wide range of different materials. Pressing a single switch will execute the
complete cutting cycle – workpiece clamping, saw blade start, cutting, saw blade stop, arm uplift to the upper (adjustable) position
and vice unclamping. In connection with the hydraulic feed of the saw blade into the cut, these measures significantly increase
cutting productivity, particularly as regards solid materials. All functions can be controlled separately. The feed of the workpiece is
manual. The vice pressure control is included in the basic version of the machine. As the cutting tool, a welded saw blade is used,
which is tensioned mechanically via a blade wheel. The saw blade is driven by the blade wheel, which is driven by a single-speed
motor via a worm-gear unit. In the machining zone, the saw blade guided through the saw blade guide heads. Outside the machining
zone the saw blade is protected by moving and fixed guards. The standard equipment of these machines includes a frequency
converter, which enables a continuous saw blade speed control within the range of 15-90 m/min. The optimum setting of the saw
blade speed substantially increases the productivity of the machine, cutting accuracy and the saw blade service life.
