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 (conical face gearbox in the version of ARG 500 plus S.A.F. with optional accessories). 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.
