In a class of its own – the compact new mitre-cutting bandsaw HBE320-523G from Behringer
Opening up new fields of business , extending the performance spectrum or replacing an old machine – these are among the most frequent reasons given by users for investing in an up-to-date , more efficient mitre sawing machine .
With its newly presented model from the HBE series , BEHRINGER is offering the perfect way of combining the benefits of modern high-performance machines for individual sawing tasks with the robust and proven characteristics of a classical mitre saw . “ We deliberately integrated various features from our BEHRINGER high-end models into this machine , raising the HBE320-523G into a class of its own – and all at an optimized cost-toperformance ratio ”, says the company ’ s CEO Christian Behringer with confidence . High cutting outputs , simple handling and precise angular cuts are among the key attributes of the new BEHRINGER mitre-cutting bandsaw HBE320-523G .
With its extensive application spectrum , it reliably covers the wide-ranging requirements of metalworking workshops , the profile steel trade and machine builders . “ Even small and medium-sized operations in these fields are reliant on their sawing machines dividing a wide range of different materials with optimum process reliability , to a high standard of quality and at high speed ”, summarizes Christian Behringer . With a cutting range in flat materials of 520 x 320 mm , bilateral mitre cuts of 45 ° and up to 30 ° on the left , this machine is the perfect all-rounder for all kinds of sawing operations . “ For reasons of cost and flexibility , profiles are generally purchased in starting lengths of up to 12 metres and then sawn to size ”, he adds . The new mitre cutting bandsaw is easily able to cope with both structural steels and stainless steel profiles .
In design terms , the new mitre saw has many features in common with the HBE Dynamic series , which has already proved a resounding success . The guidance system in its torsionally rigid gantry design and the bilateral band wheel bearings ensure quiet running and precise cuts . The band guiding components are made of vibration-damping grey cast iron , which has a highly positive impact on the quality of the cut surface , but also makes for a longer blade life . Electrically powered chip brushes clean the saw blade of adhering chips synchronously with the saw drive system – an added bonus in terms of process reliability .
The tilt of the band wheels helps prolong the life of bandsaw blades by reducing fatigue due to cyclical bending . A fully automatic height adjustment facility for the saw frame depending on the material height and lowering of the saw when in rapid traverse help cut non-productive time to a minimum .
The inclined position of the bandsaw blade allows components such as girders , angled steel and U profiles as well as hollow rectangular profiles to be sawn at higher speed and with less burr .
The sawing unit is mounted for easy turning in generously dimensioned axial roller bearings and can be swivelled with a simple manual action . The closed
