CORMAK BS 170G band saw, equipped with a hydraulic cylinder, cooling and an arm swivelling up to 60º, together with blades from renowned German company Röntgen, is used commonly in ironworking, where precision, quality and cutting speed are essential.
The metal, horizontal band saw with a swivel arm provides cutting in the plane perpendicular to the axis of cut material and at any angle from 0o to 60o. Element cut can be fed manually or by any feeding device, meanwhile the tool feed is gravitational on the principle of oil flow in a two-chamber hydraulic cylinder. Appropriate speed of arm lowering is obtained thanks to the valve controlling oil flow between hydraulic cylinder chambers. Band guides are equipped with a set of roller bearings. This has a huge impact on the band guiding, its life, cut straightness, cutting accuracy and quality.
Particular kinds and types of materials require particular cutting speeds. Rigid arm is made of SHAPED CAST IRON. Control panel is placed at the arm. The drive from the electric motor to the wheel driving the cutting band is transmitted with a motor with a MECHANICAL transmission (not belt). The cutting band is tensioned on two cast iron wheels with a hand tightener and guided by a set of roller bearings.
