Band Saw Pilous ARG 330 plus S.A.F. — A New Era of Precision and Productivity

Introducing the Pilous ARG 330 plus S.A.F. – an advanced semi-automatic band saw featuring a completely new saw frame casting technology and a unique design. The use of new casting technologies has enabled the production of a massive, rigid frame, while slightly increasing its weight, thanks to an internal enclosed cavity along the entire length of the casting. This design ensures optimal rigidity of the entire system and guarantees high precision and cutting productivity. This heavy-duty band saw is suitable for use in any industrial production environment.

The ARG 330 plus S.A.F. is more than just a saw; it is a high-precision tool designed for processing the most challenging materials, including stainless and tool steels, with maximum efficiency and minimal operator involvement.

Key Advantages and Innovations:

• Exceptional Frame Rigidity and Precision: The saw frame is cast using a new concept with internal enclosed cavities, achieving maximum rigidity with a slight weight increase, guaranteeing high cutting precision and productivity.
• Optimized Saw Blade: A strong and wide blade measuring 34 mm (width) x 1.1 mm (thickness) is used for maximum efficiency. This allows for effortless cutting of large workpieces and hard-to-machine materials with large solid cross-sections.
• Full Semi-Automatic Cycle: The machine is equipped with a high-performance industrial hydraulic unit with reliable hydraulic components, ensuring stable operation. The entire cutting cycle is initiated by pressing a single button: material clamping occurs, blade rotation and coolant supply activate, cutting begins, after the cut is complete, blade rotation and coolant supply deactivate, the frame rises to its initial set position, and the vice releases the material. This eliminates operator intervention, significantly increasing precision and productivity, especially in small-batch production and when processing large, solid workpieces.
• Flexible Control and Adjustment:
  • In manual mode, all functions can be controlled separately from the control panel.
  • The clamping force in the vice is adjustable based on the type of workpiece being clamped, thanks to the hydraulic station.
  • A wide range of stepless cutting speed adjustment (from 15 m/min to 90 m/min) via frequency control ensures optimal operating modes and significantly increases tool life.
• Exceptional Stability and Durability:
  • The very rigid construction of cast gray iron components ensures high vibration resistance during operation.
  • The pivoting frame is mounted on a swivel table in massive bearing supports with radial-thrust roller bearings, precisely factory-adjusted for preload, guaranteeing rigidity and accuracy.
  • A massive table with an enlarged loading surface ensures the highest rigidity of the machine even when cutting hard-to-machine materials.
  • Larger diameter pulleys, an updated tensioning system, and blade rotation mechanisms significantly increase tool life.
  • The reliable design of machine components and the use of proven parts guarantee a long service life.
  • Silent drive with a maintenance-free worm gear motor.
• Thoughtful Design and Ergonomics:
  • The updated frame design allows for cutting large workpieces in both straight and angled cuts.
  • The saw frame pivots along with the swivel base, which eliminates the possibility of cutting the table surface.
  • Quick-clamping mechanism and stepless angle adjustment with quick-set positions at 45°, 60°, and 90°.
  • All electrical wires and coolant supply hoses are routed inside the machine's cavities, preventing damage.
  • The new frame design greatly simplifies tool change and chip cleaning: simply open the protective cover and fix it in the raised position.
  • Ergonomic placement of control elements (electrical and hydraulic) on the swivel control panel makes the machine extremely easy to use.
  • Blade tension control and emergency shutdown in case of blade breakage.
  • Workpiece stop with a 500 mm scale included in the basic configuration.
• Optimal Chip Removal System: The machine comes with a removable chip tray in the basic configuration, or optionally with a chip conveyor.
