HBM800ALU Bandsaw
The HBM800ALU high-performance bandsaw is for high-speed cutting of aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. The HBM800ALU saw is fully automatic and features complete cutting capability utilizing either bi-metal or carbide-tipped saw blades. After loading stock, the machine continually manages all aspects of the process and provides real time cutting data which is displayed at the operator terminal. The new saw offers numerous features for efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and readily handles material sizes of up to 31.4" diameter round and 31.4" x 31.4" square. Like its predecessor, the HBM540A bandsaw, the new HBM800ALU features high drive output levels and fast cutting speed capability to meet the unique performance, precision and cut quality standards associated with aluminum cutting.
The machine's electronic control system contains a number of programmable functions engineered for efficiency in aluminum cutting. As an example, the saw blade speed and feed rates are ramped up after initial penetration and ramped down as the blade exits the material. This prevents damage to the blade by assuring that the entry and exit of the aluminum is controlled and accurate.
The cast iron construction of the saw frame reduces vibrations and enhances torsion resistance during cutting. This provides higher band tensioning and precision movement, delivering flat cuts and tight tolerances. The HBM800ALU saw blade downfeed is driven by a precision ball-screw. Precise control of the saw blade to the material allows high donwfeed rates to be achieved and at the same time maximizes saw blade life. The servo drives also enable rapid positioning of the axis, reducing non-cutting cycle times.
