Semi-Automatic Double Column Bandsaw Machine Pilous ARG 330 DC S.A.F.
Pilous ARG 330 DC S.A.F. is a powerful double-column semi-automatic bandsaw machine, designed for universal use and high-performance material cutting in serial production. It combines innovative design, extreme rigidity, and outstanding cutting precision.
Overview and Key Advantages
The Pilous ARG 330 DC S.A.F. machine features a completely new cast frame concept and a refreshed unique design. The incredibly rigid construction of the saw frame, mounted on a massive double-column structure and moving along linear guides, allows for **excellent system rigidity** and **outstanding cutting precision**. The bandsaw blade, measuring **3870 x 34 x 1.1 mm**, enables precise cutting of large workpieces and handling a wide range of materials, including stainless and tool steels.
Optimal workpiece clamping during sawing is achieved by using long-stroke vises that clamp the workpiece from both sides of the cut. The full sawing cycle is initiated by pressing a single button – this includes material clamping, saw blade rotation and coolant supply activation, sawing, saw and coolant deactivation, lifting the frame to the initial configurable position, and releasing the vises. When switched to manual mode, all machine functions can be controlled individually. The machine is operated via a touch screen display with a simple, intuitive interface. On the display, you can set the frame lift height depending on workpiece dimensions; it shows the number of cuts made, cutting modes (speed and feed, in mm/min); blade drive load, and potential errors if they occur. The machine is equipped with a high-performance hydraulic unit, with the ability to regulate the clamping force of the vises.
High performance indicators are also achieved through the use of frequency control of the saw blade drive, which allows for smooth regulation of cutting speed from 15 to 90 m/min, thus significantly increasing cutting precision and bandsaw blade life. The large machine base and overall rigid frame guarantee outstanding operational stability under any load during the sawing process.
Key Features and Advantages:
- Universal Application: Designed for industrial material cutting in serial production.
- 90° Cutting Only: The machine is optimized for maximum precision and performance in straight-line cutting, eliminating quality loss at complex angles.
- Optimal Clamping: Workpiece is clamped using long-stroke vises, holding it from both sides of the cut.
- Simple Cutting Cycle: Full sawing cycle activated by a single button press.
- Flexible Control: Individual control of all machine functions in manual mode. Operated via a touchscreen display with a simple, intuitive interface.
- High-Performance Hydraulic Unit: With adjustable vise clamping force.
- Variable Cutting Speed: Frequency converter allows smooth regulation of cutting speed from 15 to 90 m/min, increasing cutting precision and blade life.
- Exceptional Stability: Large machine base and rigid overall frame ensure outstanding operational stability under any load.
- Standard with Chip Conveyor: Integrated directly under the cut for optimal chip collection.
- Eccentric Roller in Loading Zone: Facilitates easy movement of heavy workpieces, avoiding excessive friction on the loading surface.
- LED Work Area Illumination: Powerful LED lamp provides quality lighting for the cutting zone.
- High Vibration Resistance: Bearing components made of grey cast iron castings enhance machine vibration stability.
- Reliability and Durability: Use of large diameter pulleys and three-sided carbide blade guides significantly increases tool life and cutting precision. Robust unit design and proven components guarantee a long service life.
- Silent Drive: Maintenance-free worm gear motor-reducer.
- Comprehensive Coolant System: High-performance coolant pump with independent flow regulation on both guides. Coolant tank and pump are located inside the machine base.
- Blade Tension Control: And emergency shutdown of the machine in case of blade breakage.
- Ergonomic Control: Easy to use thanks to the ergonomically placed control elements (electrical and hydraulic) on the swivel console.

Optional Equipment (for increased efficiency)
- Hydraulic clamp HVP: Used for clamping workpiece bundles. Ensures top fixation of workpieces.
- Oil mist lubrication: Spraying oil mist onto the cutting edge, replaces traditional coolant, especially for profile cutting.
- Laser pointer: Projects the cutting line onto the workpiece, accelerating setup and positioning.
- Stop: With a scale for setting the size of cut workpieces up to 500 mm long.
- Chip removal brush (with independent drive): Additional steel brush for chip removal.
- AG Cutting Force Regulator: Hydraulically controlled regulation of saw feed force depending on material machinability, reduces cutting time and increases tool life.
- Signal light M2: For remote monitoring of machine status. Signal emitted by bright LEDs visible from any side of the machine due to unique reflector design. Green light – machine is operating, cutting workpiece. After cutting and saw stop, light turns off, indicating readiness for next cut. Red light – machine stops. Indicates malfunction such as blade breakage, motor overload, open safety guards, and other abnormal situations.
- Additional roller: Installed behind the cut. Facilitates feeding of long workpieces.
- Chip collection container (with wheels): For more convenient movement and unloading of chips.
