Band Saw ARG 260 CF-NC automat — Fully Automatic Machine for High-Precision Series Metal Cutting
ARG 260 CF-NC automat – is a fully automatic pendulum band saw machine designed for sawing large series of workpieces in continuous flow production, including the processing of difficult-to-machine materials and workpieces with large solid cross-sections. The machine is equipped with a new control system and a servomotor for workpiece feeding.
Key Advantages and Capabilities:
- Maximum Precision and Feed Speed: The servomotor with a precision ball screw ensures maximum accuracy and speed of feeding, even when cutting long workpieces. The maximum length of a single stroke is 500 mm. There is an option to choose the workpiece feed speed: 1.6 / 2.5 / 3 m/min.
- Intelligent CNC Control: The pivoting control panel is equipped with a large color touch screen display. The CNC system controls all machine functions, allows recording more than 60 individual cutting programs with seamless transition from one to another. It is possible to record comments for each program, such as drawing number or product name. It is possible to set programs for cutting processes for different numbers of workpieces with different sizes in continuous operation.
- Flexibility of Operation Modes: The machine can operate in automatic, semi-automatic, and manual modes.
- High Stability and Precision: Maximum feeding and cutting precision are ensured by the machine's very rigid construction, the presence of massive main units cast from gray cast iron, and the rigid frame of the feeding mechanism. The large base and massive frame mounting units, a large loading area surface, make the machine's operation absolutely stable and precise even when processing very large workpieces. The load-bearing components are made of gray cast iron castings, which increases the machine's vibration resistance.
- Automated Clamping and Feed: Vise clamping, feed, and lifting of the saw frame to a set position, according to part dimensions, are carried out by a hydraulic system. "Floating" feeding vises compensate for workpiece curvature along the length and ensure consistent positioning accuracy. Pressure regulation of feeding and main vises is included in the basic configuration.
- Adaptive Cutting Speed: High productivity indicators are also achieved due to the use of frequency control for the saw rotation drive, which allows smooth adjustment of the cutting speed from 15 to 90 m/min. This also significantly increases cutting precision and the durability of the band saw blade.
- Reliability and Durability: The reliable construction of the machine's components and the use of proven parts guarantee a long service life. Silent drive with a maintenance-free worm gear motor-reducer.
- Efficient Coolant System: High-performance coolant pump and the ability to independently regulate flow on both guides; the coolant tank and pump are located inside the machine base. Blade tension control and emergency shutdown of the machine in case of blade breakage.

Optional Equipment (Options):
Expand the functionality of your machine for even greater convenience and productivity:
- Hydraulic Clamp HVP-NC: Used for clamping a package of workpieces from above. Automatically engages synchronously with the main vises. Installed on both movable and fixed vises.
- Roller Conveyor: Is an extension of the machine table and allows cut workpieces to roll into a container when processing large series. The tray consists of 2 parts, which prevents coolant from spilling outside the machine.
- Halogen Lamp: Provides quality illumination of the machine's cutting zone. Necessary in dimly lit production areas.
- Oil Mist Lubrication: Spraying oil mist onto the cutting edge of the blade. Replaces traditional coolant, especially when cutting profile workpieces where significant coolant leakage occurs outside the machine. Organic oils can be used.
- Laser Pointer: Projects the cutting line onto the workpiece. Reduces setup time and simplifies workpiece positioning in the machine.
- Chip Removal Brush KDM: Steel brush, driven by a driven pulley. Used to remove chips from the band saw blade.
- Chip Conveyor: Removes chips from the machine into a container during operation. Reduces time spent cleaning the machine, especially during serial cutting of solid materials when a large amount of chips is generated.
- Blade Tension Indicator: Allows for optimal tensioning of the band saw blade and monitoring tension during operation. Correct tensioning significantly increases tool life and cutting precision.
- Chip Collection Container: For more convenient moving and unloading of chips, the container is equipped with wheels and a tipping mechanism.
- Magnetic Separator Container: A galvanized, finely perforated container for effective chip collection. Easily removable when full and easy to clean.
- Magnetic Separator: Very convenient for removing fine chips, saves time on cleaning coolant, and extends its service life. The device is easily removable and washable.
