Servo-driven circular cold saw
BEHRINGER Saws, Inc, a manufacturer
of bandsaw, circular and plate sawing
solutions, has added the VA-L 500 to
its line of high performance circular cold
saws. Behringer Eisele GmbH designed
the VA-L 500 sawing system specifically
for production cutting of aluminium and
non-ferrous materials.
With a frequency-controlled main
drive system and adjustable cutting
speeds, the VA-L 500 can efficiently saw
the full range of aluminium alloys and
other non-ferrous materials in solids,
thin-walled pipe and profiles.
The VA-L 500 saw comes as standard
with a 32 HP, frequency-controlled drive
motor with 800-3,400rpm speed range,
and a servo-driven downfeed with an
adjustable rate from 0.39" to 19.6"/
sec, to ensure fast cut times. The fully
automatic circular cold saw has a cutting
range of 152mm (6") for round materials
or 152 x 152mm (6" x 6") for square
materials at 90° using a carbide-tipped
circular saw blade with a diameter of
500mm (19.6").
“Our VA-L series features a heavy-
duty design, state-of-the-art drive tech-
nology used in the feed axis and main
drive system, and an extremely rigid,
ultra-precise saw spindle bearing,” com-
mented Joe Suydam, inside sales and
marketing manager at Behringer Saws.
“The result is an optimised, low-vibration
cutting process that provides maximum
cutting output and excellent surface
finish quality in both solid materials
as well as in pipe and profiles with
sophisticated cross-sectional geometry.”
An automatic blade/material separa-
tion feature guarantees a free return of
the saw blade, reducing blade damage
and resulting in high-quality material
finishes.
An NC-controlled gripper feed unit,
driven by a servomotor, ball screw
spindle and encoder with a single stroke
capacity of 39.3", ensures quick and
precise movement of material.
A lift-and-shift device for material
feed – a standard feature of the VA-L
500 saw – ensures the material is lifted
slightly over the material support table,
enabling the material to be ‘freely’ fed
without touching the material table and
clamping jaws, and eliminating damage
to the surface of the material.
To reduce build-up of chips and
scratching of material, a blowing
device rapidly removes chips from
the clamping area, providing a clean
material clamping surface area and
unobstructed material flow for increased
service life. Also standard on the VA-L
500 is a material disposal/discharge unit
featuring a support plate and a sorting
chute that moves trim/remnants and
parts into two separate areas.
