Bandsaw enhancements improve structural steel processing productivity

Ficep's design enhancements to its bandsaw gear boxes and hydraulic set-up systems for saw blade feed have created what it believes are now the fastest saws in the world in the 600 to 2000 mm width capacities. The saw feed system now also incorporates a more reliable and ridged all-welded structure which significantly reduces vibration to virtually eliminate blade trap, a common fault on most ballscrew feed systems traditionally used.

Expensive carbide bandsaw blades are often used to improve cutting capability but in test trials similar results were achieved using the much lower cost traditional Bi-metal blades on the new Ficep bandsaws in the new feed system.
