and flexibility , profiles are generally purchased in starting lengths of up to 12 metres and then sawn to size ”, he adds . The new mitre cutting bandsaw is easily able to cope with both structural steels and stainless steel profiles .
In design terms , the new mitre saw has many features in common with the HBE Dynamic series , which has already proved a resounding success . The guidance system in its torsionally rigid gantry design and the bilateral band wheel bearings ensure quiet running and precise cuts . The band guiding components are made of vibrationdamping grey cast iron , which has a highly positive impact on the quality of the cut surface , but also makes for a longer blade life . Electrically powered chip brushes clean the saw blade of adhering chips synchronously with the saw drive system – an added bonus in terms of process reliability .
The tilt of the band wheels helps prolong the life of bandsaw blades by reducing fatigue due to cyclical bending . A fully automatic height adjustment facility for the saw frame depending on the material height and lowering of the saw when in rapid traverse help cut non-productive time to a minimum .
The inclined position of the bandsaw blade allows components such as girders , angled steel and U profiles as well as hollow rectangular profiles to be sawn at higher speed and with less burr .
The sawing unit is mounted for easy turning in generously dimensioned axial roller bearings and can be swivelled with a simple manual action . The closed material table simplifies material handling directly at the cutting point . The machine comes with a microspraying system as standard .
The machine can be supplemented as required with infeed and discharge roller conveyors , measuring devices and cross conveying systems , as well as NC angular adjustment . Behringer GmbH supplies these highly process-reliable customized transport solutions from its own in-house steel production facilities .
