Behringer marks a turning point in the field of high-performance band sawing with its SC-Technology. The findings gathered from the HBM400SC have been realized through the development of the SC-Kit for the HBM540A. The result: improved cutting performance and a longer tool life. Up to a seven-fold reduction in cycle times, a perfect chip disposal, consistently high chip removal, neat cut surfaces and short waste offcuts are additional arguments in favour of this technology. This is made possible by the combination of different features which characterize the SC kit. Everything is designed to withstand higher levels of strain, starting with the saw frame of the HBM machine. The optimum flow of forces in the saw frame makes for optimum band clamping forces, and the saw band guides are ideally adjusted to their assignment. With 26 kW, the drive is designed to ensure that high torque over a wide speed spectrum delivers optimum results, for example when working with materials with difficult cutting properties. A cutting pressure monitoring system connects our servo technology with a sensitive cutting pressure control. The result: consistently high chip removal, higher stock removal ranges overall than with conventional systems, and reliable protection of the saw band from overloading. The consequence: reduced tool costs by a longer blade life. The newly developed band guides are fitted with nozzles which spray the cooling emersion directly into the kerf. A high-performance coolant pump with a higher delivery volume ensures that the tool and material remain cooled at all times.
As a high sawing output creates a high volume of chips, a particularly good chip disposal concept is essential. Behringer designed the whole machine with this in mind. “After all, efficient chip disposal is a fundamental requirement for process reliability in high-performance saws”, explains CEO Christian Behringer. The saw band is cleaned of adhering chips by two self-adjusting duplex brushes. The funnel-shaped machine base guides the chips directly into the chip conveyor, which is located below the machine.
In most cases, excellent cutting outputs at the same time make more stringent demands in terms of the machine’s automation level. “The machine’s potential cannot really be fully utilized with automatic infeed and discharge systems“ explains Christian Behringer. As a complete system supplier, Behringer GmbH also supplies ideally coordinated, hard-wearing infeed and discharge peripherals specifically tailored to the customer’s requirements.
