HBS320 Metal Band Saw

Machine characteristics

CORMAK HBS320 band saw for metal provides cutting at any angle from -45° to + 60°. The element cut can be fed manually or by any feeding device. The feed during cutting is gravitational on the principle of oil flow in a two-chamber hydraulic cylinder. Band saw perfect for cutting tubes, profiles and other materials. 

Operator starts the machine by pressing the START button and sets cutting speed. After the cycle is finished the machine automatically stops and the operator lifts the arm to the starting position. The band saw arm is made of massive, uniform cast iron, and together with 27 mm wide cutting band enables high quantity cutting of structural steel, stainless steel and tools. The vice is located in an adjustable bed and equipped with a quick clamp. Blade guides are equipped with a ball bearings system and cemented carbides, ensuring excellent cutting precision and straight cut. It has a huge impact on the band guiding, its durability, accuracy and cutting quality. The carbide guiding drastically reduces the wear of both the machine and the blade.

The base is enclosed, constituting a rigid welded body of steel sheets. A separate flood coolant container with an electropump is inside. The shape of the base upper part constitutes a tank for flood coolant draining and chips produced during cutting. Cast iron workbench is attached to the base, with a double-sided swivel arm and a control panel. 

The feed speed is controlled by the control panel. There are 2 cutting band speeds: 44 and 88 m/min. In rest arm position (after the cutting process) the cutting band drive is switched off automatically. Safety is ensured with cutting band guards and microswitches stopping the motor after cutting cycle is finished or after any of the guards are opened; additional protection consists of automatic switch-off of the band saw in case the cutting band breaks.
