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

Introducing the Pilous ARG 330 S.A.F. – an advanced semi-automatic band saw that embodies completely new saw frame casting technology and a unique design. Created for intensive series production, as well as for demanding metalworking workshops and repair shops, this machine is the epitome of strength, precision, and efficiency.

The ARG 330 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 productivity and minimal operator involvement.

Main Advantages and Innovations:

• Exceptional Frame Rigidity and Precision: The saw frame is cast using a new technology with hollow pockets throughout its length, which provides increased rigidity and, consequently, higher cutting precision.
• Optimized Saw Blade: To achieve maximum efficiency, a strong and wide blade measuring 34 mm (width) x 1.1 mm (thickness) is used. This allows for effortless cutting of difficult-to-machine materials with large solid cross-sections.
• Full Semi-automatic Cycle: The machine is equipped with a powerful industrial hydraulic unit that ensures stable operation. The entire sawing cycle starts with a single button press: material clamping occurs, blade rotation and coolant supply are activated, cutting begins, after the cut is finished, blade rotation and coolant supply are switched off, the frame raises to the initial position, and the material is unclamped. This eliminates operator involvement, significantly increasing precision and productivity, especially in small-batch production and processing of large workpieces.
• Flexible Control and Adjustment:
  • Manual mode allows individual control of all functions from the control panel.
  • Clamping force in the vice is adjustable depending on the type of workpiece being clamped.
  • Wide range of stepless cutting speed adjustment (from 15 m/min to 95 m/min) provides optimal operating modes and significantly increases tool life.
• Exceptional Stability and Durability:
  • Massive cast frame and load-bearing components made of grey cast iron castings ensure maximum rigidity and increased vibration resistance.
  • The swivel frame is mounted on bearing supports with radial-thrust roller bearings, guaranteeing rigidity and precision of operation after precise factory adjustment of bearing preload.
  • Oversized pulleys and an updated blade tensioning system significantly increase tool life.
  • Silent and maintenance-free worm gear motor ensures long-term, trouble-free operation.
• Thoughtful Design and Ergonomics:
  • Updated frame design allows for cutting large workpieces.
  • Convenient **quick-clamping mechanism** of the vice and smooth adjustment of the saw frame's swivel angle using an angular scale.
  • **All electrical cables are hidden** within the machine's internal cavities, preventing damage.
  • **Simplified blade replacement process**: simply open and secure the frame's protective cover in the raised position.
  • **Blade tension control** and emergency shutdown in case of blade breakage.
• Optimal Chip Removal System: The large and robust base is equipped with a removable chip tray as standard, or optionally a screw conveyor.
