Band saw made for demanding production environments
- May 27, 2015
- Product Release
- Sawing
Kalamazoo Machine Tool’s model H6 SA band saw is a double-column, semiautomatic mitering saw engineered to provide high-precision sawing in a demanding production environment. The saw features an extremely heavy mono-weldment saw frame canted 6 degrees for sawing structural materials; it can miter from 0 to 60 degrees.
All functions are fully hydraulic, and saw feed controls use precision control valves. A freestanding control console can be placed as required by the operator.
The saw features two vises on the infeed side to help ensure the material is clamped and never released during all feeding and sawing operations. The material feeder is controlled by a variable-speed inverter drive motor that turns a roller ball screw and ball nut with a large number of recirculating ball bearings. This produces a very low coefficient of friction and stabilization in both up/down and left/right directions. The material feeder vise and saw vise are designed to yield the smallest possible remnant end.
The saw has a 1.25-in. by 17-ft. 5-in. blade operating at 60 to 360 FPM. Material work height is 32.25 in., with a vise opening of 23.5 in. Capacities are 20 in. at 90 degrees, 17.5 in. at 45 degrees, and 9.5 in. at 60 degrees.
