Horizontal band saw cuts 26-in. round stock

Behringer Saws Inc. has introduced the HBE-663A automatic horizontal band saw. The heavy-duty hydraulic saw has a cutting capacity of 26 in. for round stock and 28 by 26 in. for flat stock.

The saw blade, measuring 28 ft.-8 in. by 2 in. by 0.063 in., has a standard speed of 33 to 360 SFM. Stroke feed length is 21.2 in., with an optional 118-in. feeding unit available.

The large-diameter inclined cast-iron band wheels decrease blade twist from wheel to guide. The saw also features induction hardened contact surfaces on its band wheels and all vise jaws to help reduce wear.

The ball screw servo-driven, precision downfeed control automatically adjusts blade pressure to create a balance of feed rate and cutting pressure. The electrically powered ball screw-driven material feed gripper eliminates backlash to help ensure precise material positioning for improved accuracy.
