ARG 380 PLUS S.A.F.

The modern conception of a massive band saw arm allows for indus-trial cutting of full materials, large sections and also for angular cutting. That is why the maximum cutting angle range of 60° to the right and 60° to the left is available. The robust industrial band saw is generally suitable for all demanding production plants. The saw band sized 34 x 1.1 mm ensures accurate cutting of large cross-sections. The band is manufactured in many versions and allows for cutting of wide range of materials, including stainless steel or tool steel.

Easy intuitive controls through a touchscreen on an ergonomic rotary central control panel. The display also shows required lifting height of the saw band arm depending on the cross section of the material to be cut. Moreover it allows you to monitor the number of cut workpieces in the current settings and machine diagnostics (PLC inputs and outputs, history of errors). During cutting the display shows saw band speed, main engine load and any potential error messages. The display also shows cutting angle settings. Special accessories.

When you switch to the manual mode you can control all functions separately. The machine is equipped with a high-performance industrial hydraulic unit which allows setting of the contact pressure of the vice. All of this in connection with hydraulics-controlled saw band feed into cut significantly increases cutting efficiency, especially in larger series and cutting of full and high-quality materials.

Pressing a single switch will execute complete cutting cycle – material clamping, band and cooling system start, cutting, band and cooling stop, arm uplift to the original adjustable position and vice unclamping. Maximum cutting efficiency is maintained also thanks to the possibility of setting optimum saw band rate by a frequency converter in the range between 15 and 90 m/min., which significantly contributes to cutting accuracy and service life of saw bands. The ergonomic base of the machine is by default equipped with a removable chips container or with an additional chips conveyor.

• In order to achieve maximum stiffness of the whole system and cutting accuracy, the band saw arm is attached to a sturdy turntable on both sides in massive housings fitted with pre-stressing tapered roller bearings.
• The system is mounted on tapered roller bearings in order to facilitate the easiest possible rotation of the arm during angular cutting.
• The turntable rotates along with the saw band. Thanks to that the saw band does not cut into the loading surface of the vice.
• Simple locking and adjusting of a required cutting angle on the angle scale or, as additional accessories, digital monitoring on a touch screen.
• Massive full uplift vice ensures easy, quick and reliable material clamping.
• Large diameter running wheels and precise three-side hardmetal guiding ensure long service life of the band and cutting accuracy.
• Overdesign of running wheel bearings, tensioning wheel system and all rotary parts ensures long service life of the machine.
• Noiseless and maintenance-free band drive is provided by an indus-trial electric motor with worm gearbox.
• The machine is connected to a complete cooling system with a high-performance pump and possibility of regulating the flow on both guiding heads independently and on an additional adjustable outlet. Coolant tank with a pump is placed in the base of the machine.
• The machine checks correct tension or break of the saw band. If the saw band breaks the machine automatically switches off.
• Easy control by ergonomically placed controls (electrical and hydraulics) on a rotary panel.
