Cutting, Sawing & P rofiling T echnology
electronically monitored, with a sensor
system ensuring automatic pressure
reduction in case of machine standstill.
Precise cutoffs at high output are
guaranteed both by a constant cutting feed
rate and a constant cutting force when
working with pipes and sectional material.
The height of the saw frame can be fully
automatically adjusted in line with material
height. The frame also features a rapid
lowering function in automatic operation to
reduce downtime.
The HBP313A is ideally configured for
operation with minimal supervision. The
material is clamped hydraulically in the
horizontal direction, with facility for stepless
adjustment of the clamping pressure. The
cylinder stroke stretches over the whole of
the cutting area. A feed gripper mounted
on self-aligning bearings reliably transports
heavy solid material into the machining
position.
The HBP-series from Behringer
encompasses several different sawing
machines with a cutting range from 260mm
to 510mm. The HBP-series machines are
all either semi or fully automatic models.

The HBP313A is the latest model of HBP-
series band saws from Behringer GmbH,
Germany. This machine offers a range of
substantial benefits including precision,
economy and performance.
The machine’s extended cutting range
encompasses round material up to 310mm,
and 500mm x 300mm (W x H) for slabs, while
pipes up to 310mm can be cut. With cutting
speeds of between 20m and 140m per
minute, depending on material and thickness,
the HBP313A is both fast and reliable.
The best cutting results are ensured by a
rigid, low-torsion, low-vibration saw frame
in a stable cast construction with backlash-
free pretensioned quadruple guides. The
machine is even capable of providing the
best results on material with difficult cutting
properties.
The machine‘s two guide columns are
ground and hard chrome plated. A saw
frame with a 3° incline offers a particular
benefit when sawing profile material. The
hydraulic saw-blade clamping fixture is
As a steel tube manufacturer servicing the
needs of many industries, particularly the
high demands of the automotive industry,
Parthenon is constantly investigating and
investing in ways to increase productivity,
reduce turnaround time and improve the
quality of products.
Mr Chandler added, “ The Bewo SCF 90
Quatro sawing line has revolutionised our
re-cut department, providing customers with
considerable improvements in the quality
of cut finish, cut to length tolerances and
repeatability, whilst reducing setup times,
tooling and labour costs but also critically
increasing productivity.”

Parthenon Metal Works, USA, has
ordered a second ultra high speed Bewo
SCF 90 Quatro automatic circular sawing
machine from Bewo Bv, the Netherlands,
via US/Canadian representative
European Technology Centre North
America, USA.
The machine will be
supplied complete with
in-line brush deburring,
100 per cent length
measuring and pick-and-
place packing system.
Parthenon installed its
initial machine (the first
Bewo SCF 90 Quatro
line in the USA) during
early December 2007.
Mr Chuck Chandler,
engineering and project
manager, commented
that “once the company
had got to grips with this
new technology, a second
machine was inevitable.”
