Available from Accurate Cutting Services, the machine is Amada’s latest innovation in high performance saws. The HPSAW310 removes one of the most significant barriers to high speed power sawing on a horizontal bandsaw machines – the required twist in the blade, which at best can be 30°, and worst at 90°.
To enable the blade to flex in up to three directions (bend round wheels, twist before and after guides, and beam deflection from feed force) without fatiguing the backing material and causing breakages, the blade is compromised by having a thin and narrow section. The narrower the blade width, the less beam strength it has, which limits the pressure that can be applied by the saw and the more likely the blade is to deflect.
The HPSAW is fitted with a blade deviation detector that prevents blade ‘run off’ during the cut by alerting the operator and stopping the machine.
Amada has developed a new blade to optimise the performance of the HPSAW and it’s fast cutting in steels – the HP1 carbide tipped bandsaw blade is a derivative of the successful Axcela range of carbide blades manufactured by Amada.
By designing both the saw and the blade, Amada can deliver the best possible cutting performance with no compromises.
