Production band saw HBE1060A Performance

The HBE1060A Performance utilises band-guiding components made from grey cast iron, which are manufactured in Behringer’s own foundry. Thanks to their high damping effect, they reduce vibrations directly at the band guide and lay the foundation for a smooth, precise sawing process. Together with the heavy, torsionally rigid machine structure and the precise gantry-style guide system, stress on the saw blade is effectively reduced.

The servo feed system with ball screw and the sensitive cutting pressure control continuously adjust the feed rate to the actual cutting conditions. This prevents load peaks, protects the saw blade and extends its service life. The result is lower tooling costs, high process reliability and cost-effective machining of demanding materials.

The HBE1060A Performance increases productivity when cutting large material cross-sections through high cutting performance, short idle times and a robust design for demanding continuous operation. Even heavy solid materials, tubes and profiles can be processed accurately and economically. The exceptionally rigid machine construction, precise portal-type guide system and automatic cutting pressure control ensure high process reliability and long blade life.

A key contribution to throughput is provided by AFC Pro. By dynamically adjusting cutting speed and feed rate to the actual cutting conditions, the full performance potential of the saw blade can be utilised. Particularly with large material cross-sections, this enables significantly higher cutting performance and noticeably shorter cutting times. The servo-driven feed system and efficient chip removal further minimise non-productive time and maximise throughput.

The HBE1060A Performance reduces the cost per cut through the combination of high cutting performance, long blade life and short idle times. Its robust machine design, precise portal-type guide system and automatic cutting pressure control ensure a smooth cutting process and protect the saw blade, even when processing large material cross-sections. In addition, the servo-driven feed system provides exceptionally consistent and precise feed movement. Especially when cutting large solid materials, this contributes significantly to consistent cut quality, reduced tool wear and extended blade life.

A major contribution to economic efficiency is made by AFC (Auto-Feed-Control). After selecting the material from the integrated material database, the machine automatically determines the optimum cutting speed and feed rate. This prevents incorrect settings and ensures that the saw blade always operates under ideal conditions. The result is high cutting performance, longer tool life and more economical sawing operations.

For large material diameters, a band saw is often the more cost-effective solution. The significantly narrower kerf means less material is turned into chips, thereby reducing material consumption and process costs. At the same time, less material needs to be machined, which reduces energy consumption. Thanks to modern carbide-tipped saw bands, high-performance band saws now achieve significantly higher cutting rates and, in many applications, come closer to the throughput of a circular saw than was the case just a few years ago.

The HBE1060A Performance combines these advantages with a heavy-duty, low-vibration machine structure, a precise servo feed system and vibration-damping band guide components made of grey cast iron. This enables even large solid workpieces to be machined reliably and economically. The reduced material loss quickly pays for itself, particularly when machining high-quality tool steels, stainless steels and other cost-intensive materials.

The HBE1060A Performance has been specially developed for machining tool steels, stainless steels and other high-alloy materials. Its heavy, torsionally rigid machine structure, the precise gantry-type guide system and the grey cast iron components manufactured in Behringer’s own foundry ensure a low-vibration sawing process and high cutting accuracy. The servo feed system with ball screw and the sensitive cutting pressure control precisely adjust the feed rate to the respective cutting conditions. This protects the saw blade and the machine, extends service life and enables even demanding materials to be machined cost-effectively.

The HBE1060A Performance has been specifically developed for demanding applications in metal distribution, steel service centres and steel processing operations. Its exceptionally robust and rigid design is built to handle heavy material weights, large cross-sections and continuous operation under harsh production conditions. Retracting vice jaws and the optional lowering material support facilitate the processing of scaled, contaminated or otherwise difficult-to-handle materials.

At the same time, the servo-driven feed system, automatic cutting pressure control and precise portal-type guide system ensure high cutting performance and long blade life. Short idle times, efficient chip removal and extensive automation options provide economical and reliable operation, even when processing large material volumes and heavy steel sections.
