Behringer Saws, Inc., a manufacturer of bandsaws, circular and plate sawing solutions, has announced the Behringer Series HBM 500SC, an automatic horizontal bandsaw capable of removing over 70 square inches per minute of material. The saw can cut a broad range of materials, from carbon steels to tool steels, stainless and high-alloy steels. Sawing speed is due in part to a rugged, cast iron saw frame engineered to channel the buildup of forces away from the work area and a dual conveyor chip removal system.
"We are very excited about the performance levels of the 500SC," said Richard Klipp, Behringer Saws Inc. President. "Sawing tests conducted at our facility and at a large steel service center customer have demonstrated material removal rates as high as 78 square inches per minute on 4140 steel."
The Behringer HBM 500SC is designed for high speed cutting applications with carbide tipped blades sawing high alloy materials.
A heavy-duty gearbox, rigid cast iron frame and dynamically re-engineered design reduce or eliminate vibration and promote enhanced speed and precision. Band guides are fitted with nozzles which spray coolant directly into the kerf and a high volume coolant pump keeps blades and materials as cool as possible during high speed cutting. This is designed for longer periods of uninterrupted throughput when compared to conventional bandsaws.
The machine's heavy-duty gearbox combined with a 35 HP high-output drive motor, reduces vibration and enhances performance. Blade downfeed is ball screw driven, providing the controlled application of downfeed pressure for blade movement. This power/pressure balance is designed to assure that the material feed rate is always maximized without overloading the blade.
To address high stock removal rates, two electrically powered self-adjusting chip brushes clean the blade during operation. In addition, chips fall into a funnel flume, guided to a dual conveyor in the machine bed. The saw also features automatic guide arm adjustment and hydraulic blade tensioning.
The HBM 500SC has a 19.6" x 19.6" maximum cutting capacity.
