Automatic Miter Bandsaw Ideal for Demanding Fabrication Environments
BEHRINGER Saws, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of high-performance bandsawing machines, circular cold saws, and structural fabricating equipment, is pleased to highlight the HBE320-523GA, a fully automatic miter bandsaw engineered for precision, speed, and versatility. Designed for today’s fabrication shops, the HBE320-523GA streamlines complex cutting tasks and adapts to a wide range of materials and profiles.
The HBE320-523GA features advanced NC-controlled automatic miter angle adjustment, enabling fast, repeatable miter cuts at nearly any angle. This technology streamlines setup and boosts productivity for both straight and angled cuts. Its high-precision feed gripper, combined with a servo feed system and cutting pressure control, delivers cycle times up to twice as fast as conventional saws. The system automatically adjusts feed rates to different materials, optimizing performance and extending blade life. Fully automatic height adjustment and rapid traverse lowering further minimize non-productive time, increasing overall efficiency and throughput.
A user-friendly, powerful PC control interface simplifies operation and supports seamless integration with material handling systems, enhancing workflow and automation. The saw’s micro spray lubrication and built-in coolant systems keep the blade cool and clean, while carbide band guides and angled band wheels reduce vibration and blade fatigue, ensuring cleaner cuts and longer tool life. The precision portal-design guide system, with its stable, low-vibration saw frame and linear guides, ensures optimal cutting results and maximum service life. The closed table support, combined with an innovative connection to material handling systems, ensures maximum process reliability during fully automatic operation. Additionally, the electrically driven chip brush enhances safety and maintains consistent performance, while the infeed-side lifting roller enables smooth feeding of heavy or long workpieces, reducing operator fatigue and increasing throughput. The feed gripper features a 3,000 mm (10’) length and a retracting fixed jaw, reliably positioning and feeding even slightly bent profiles into the machine. An automatic guide arm adapts to changing material sizes, ensuring optimal sawing results without manual adjustment.
The HBE320-523GA offers a generous cutting range of 520 x 320 mm (20.5” x 12.6”) and bilateral miter capabilities, with 45° on both sides and up to 30° left, accommodating a wide range of profiles, tubes, and solid materials. Its specifically angled sawing capability enables higher cutting speeds and reduced burr formation when processing girders, angled steel, U profiles, and hollow rectangular profiles. A 3° inclination of the saw blade further boosts cutting performance on hollow profiles and beams while minimizing burr formation. Optional features such as a line laser for accurate material positioning, along with a torsionally rigid gantry for low-vibration operation further enhance precision and efficiency. The saw frame, mounted on oversized axial roller bearings, swivels easily for manual angle adjustments and faster setup.
Maintenance is efficient thanks to hydraulic blade tensioning, integrated diagnostics, and quick-change chip brushes with tool-less access panels, all designed to minimize downtime and maximize uptime. Energy-efficient drives reduce power consumption and operating costs, supporting sustainability goals, while ergonomically positioned controls and safety interlocks enhance operator comfort and safety. The modular design allows for easy upgrades and future expansion, and the machine is designed for seamless integration with roller conveyors, measuring systems, and cross-conveying equipment. The closed table support and intelligent material handling integration ensure safe, reliable material flow-even with short starting and cut-off lengths-preventing jamming and maximizing process reliability.
BEHRINGER offers customer-oriented sawing concepts, delivering complete system solutions with individualized material handling and expert advice tailored to each customer’s production needs.
