changeover. And an additional benefit for all those
needing to saw an increasing amount of square or
sectional material:
Based on its only recently fully re-engineered
automatic HBM440A, Behringer is now presenting
an addition to this high-performance machine
series. The model addresses the most stringent
requirements in terms of its appealing modern
design and also of its superbly engineered
functional characteristics. The band saw is ideally
suited for the economical and precision cutting of
a wide ranging variety of solid materials, pipes or
profiles made of metal. In a cutting range of 540
mm in round material and 630 x 540 for squares,
the HBM540A saws effortlessly and at high speed
and can be used with either bimetal or carbide saw
blades.
The modular structure of the machine permits
considerably simpler implementation of a saw
blade incline up to 4° for the manufacturer. The
machine designers attached particular importance
to reducing not only cutting times but also cycle
times. The result of these and other improvements
are higher quality cutting results in a substantially
shorter time.
The feed gripper ensures trouble-free
transportation of the material to be cut, even when
working with uneven stock, bundled material or
heavy forgings, as the fixed gripper jaw is also
moved by the material on the return stroke of
the feed carriage. The material is always ideally
clamped, as the clamping jaws are able to move
in accordance with the material width. A standard
feed gripper length of 500 mm is provided,
although this can be optionally extended to 1500
and 3000 mm.
The consistently modular structure of the
HBM540A guarantees a permanently high standard
of quality in all the components as the sawing
unit, material clamping unit and feed unit are preassembled separately as part of a flow assembly
sequence.
The feed gripper can be moved close up to the
saw blade, allowing cut off lengths to be reduced
by around 50 per cent. The gripper is mounted
on linear guides and positioned by means of a
An interesting feature of this machine, for example,
is the facility to tilt the saw frame towards the
operator, which considerably simplifies saw blade
