HYDMECH’s H-22A Automatic Horizontal Band Saw allows for accurate 90° metal cutting for use in heavy-duty applications. This is a highly versatile, guillotine style band saw designed to provide exceptional, straight cutting capability in multi-shift, high production environments. A fully-automatic metal cutting saw with hydraulic full stroke vise, canted head, 10 HP motor, and 2″ blade and makes it an ideal solution for every metal fabrication shop.
The H-22A is fast, with its high speed shuttle feed indexing up to 34″ in a single movement. Its optional 6° degree canted head, recommended when cutting larger beams, structural steel, and bundles of square tubing allows for more efficient cutting and improved blade life. A standard feature is the variable vise pressure which allows for adjustment of the clamping pressure of both vises. Recommended for thin wall tubing and other light material applications where standard vise pressure may deform the material.
The operator control console is located on the front of the machine, to the right of the out feed table, the selector switches and push buttons allow the operator to manually control all machine functions including emergency stops. The PLC 100 controls the Automatic cycle. The operator enters job information through the PLC interface keypad. The information required will be desired part length and quantity of pieces. Up to 99 different jobs can be entered into the PLC memory, and can be called up and performed at any time. Also, a job queue function allows up to 5 jobs to be picked from the memory, and run consecutively. Some unique features of the PLC100 control are blade chamber, which separates the cut part to allow for more back clearance (excellent for carbide blades); adjustable power down timer; coolant saver; trim cut on or off; automatic blade kerf compensation.
