Band Saw Pilous ARG 500 plus S.A.F. — High Power and Exceptional Precision for Large-Scale Production

Introducing the Pilous ARG 500 plus S.A.F. – a flagship band saw with a modern, massive frame concept, designed for series cutting of workpieces with very large solid cross-sections, including angle cutting. This robust industrial band saw is suitable for use in any production environment requiring the processing of extra-large workpieces.

The band saw blade, measuring 6040 x 41 x 1.3 mm, allows for precise cutting of enormously sized workpieces. This blade is widely available on the market and can process an exceptionally wide range of materials, including stainless and tool steels.

Key Advantages and Innovations:

• Maximum Cutting Capabilities: The modern concept of the massive frame enables series cutting of workpieces with very large solid cross-sections and allows the saw frame to rotate up to 60° in both directions, making it ideal for any angular cuts.
• Extraordinary Productivity: The machine is equipped with a high-performance hydraulic unit. The complete sawing cycle starts with a single button press – material clamping, blade rotation and coolant supply activation, cutting, blade and coolant shutdown, frame lift to the initial set position, and vise unclamping occur automatically. This ensures maximum productivity, especially when sawing large series and difficult-to-machine solid materials.
• Exceptional Precision and Adaptability:
  • Both blade guide blocks are equipped with a hydraulic device for automatic feed regulation during cutting, which significantly increases cutting precision and tool life.
  • High performance is also achieved through the use of frequency control for the blade drive, allowing stepless adjustment of the cutting speed from 15 to 90 m/min, greatly enhancing cutting accuracy and band saw blade durability.
  • In manual mode, all machine functions can be controlled separately. Thanks to the hydraulic unit, the vise clamping force can be adjusted.
• Unrivaled Stability and Durability:
  • To ensure maximum machine rigidity and operational precision, the pivoting arm is mounted on a swivel table in massive bearing supports with radial-thrust roller bearings, with precise factory-set preload adjustment.
  • The saw frame rotates together with the swivel base, which eliminates the possibility of cutting into the table surface. To facilitate rotation, the structure is mounted on a thrust bearing.
  • Massive vises for simple, quick, and reliable workpiece clamping.
  • The use of large diameter wheels and three-sided carbide blade guides in the machine significantly increases tool life and cutting precision.
  • The reliable design of machine components and the use of proven parts guarantee long-term trouble-free operation.
  • Silent drive with a maintenance-free worm gear motor.
• Optimized 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.
• Convenience and Safety:
  • The machine is easy to use thanks to the ergonomic placement of control elements (electrical and hydraulic) on the swivel control panel.
  • Blade tension control and emergency machine shutdown in case of blade breakage.
  • The machine comes standard with a removable chip container or, optionally, a chip conveyor. A powerful brush with a separate drive for removing chips from the saw teeth is installed on the machine (standard equipment).

Expand your machine's functionality for even greater convenience and productivity:

• Hydraulic Clamp: Used for clamping a bundle of workpieces from above. Automatically activates synchronously with the main vise.
• Oil Mist Lubrication: Spraying oil mist onto the cutting edge of the blade. Replaces traditional coolant, especially when cutting profile sections where significant coolant leakage occurs. Organic oils can be used.
• Laser Pointer: Projects the cutting line onto the workpiece, reducing setup time and simplifying positioning.
• Workpiece Stop DR 380,400,500: Stop with scale for setting the size of cut workpieces up to 500 mm long.
• Angle Indicator LG 380/400/500: Digital scanning of the set cutting angle provides quick and precise adjustment. The value is displayed with an accuracy of 0.1 degrees on the central touchscreen. This option is recommended for frequent angle cutting.
• Hydraulic Band Tensioning with Pressure Indicator HD: Provides convenient tensioning of the band saw blade with a manual hydraulic pump to the required value according to the manometer and its readings during machine operation.
• Chip Conveyor: Removes chips from the machine into a container during operation. Reduces time spent on cleaning the machine, especially during series cutting of solid materials when large amounts of chips are generated.
• Blade Tension Indicator: Allows optimal tensioning of the band saw blade and monitoring tension during operation. Correct tensioning significantly increases tool life and cutting precision.
• High-Pressure Gun: Designed for cleaning the machine's work area.
• Increased Power Electric Drive BG: Electric drive with a more powerful 5.5 kW motor increases cutting power. Effective for high-performance cutting of hard metals, such as stainless steel.
• Chip Collection Container (on wheels): For more convenient movement and unloading of chips, the container is equipped with wheels and a tilt mechanism.
• Hydraulic Frame Stop: The device allows the frame to be stopped in the desired position from the machine's control panel.
• Magnetic Separator with Container: A galvanized, finely perforated stainless steel container with a chip separator for efficient chip collection. Easily removable and washable.
• Halogen Lamp: Provides high-quality illumination of the cutting area. Necessary in dim production environments.
