Band saw PCSAW 430 X/AX

for steelfully-automaticCNC

Band saws with pulse cutting technology have been designed for economical use under toughest production conditions. For Users who demand the highest demands on cutting performance and quality, based on decades of experience, the optimum approach between tool and machine was developed. The pulse cutting technology developed by AMADA providesthe ideal conditions for bandsawing. The predefined pulsation of the band saw blade in the feeddirection generates a wave-like up-and-down motion of the bandsaw blade that has a positive effect on the cutting behaviour of thesawteeth and at the same time, considerably reduces the cuttingresistance. Compared to a conventional band saw machine,sawing is possible with a considerably higher cutting performance. A further advantage of the pulsation is the lower thermal load onthe sawteeth. On the one side, the up-and-down motion of theband allows the cooling lubricant to reach the tips of the teethmuch more easily and therefore improves the cooling action.On the other side, the chips are particularly short due to thepulsation. The PCSAW 430 models are intended as robust CNC fullyautomatic machines for heavy-duty operation in the metaldistribution and in production. It is possible to use either carbide tipped or bimetal bandsaw blades on both machines. The corresponding sawingparameters are stored in the CNC controller for both band types. The AX version is recommended for use with materials that arevery difficult to machine such as Hastelloy or Inconel. In contrastto the PCSAW 430 X that operates with the proven servo-hydraulicAMADA saw feed, the saw feed of the AX model is operated via aprecision servo-electric ball screw drive.
