New range of four band saws for cutting
pipes and fittings at different angles
RITMO SpA, Italy, is offering a new range
of band saws for cutting plastic pipes and
fittings.
SIGMA is RITMO’s new line of band saws
for plastic sheets and pipes and offers four
easy to use models.
The SIGMA 1600 PRO band saw is capable
of cutting pipes up to OD 1,600mm and
features a blade housing arm (bell type) that
moves at an adjustable speed and moves
sideways on a rail, performing a wide range
of cutting angles. The company claims the
SIGMA 1600 PRO’s blade guide telescopic
system offers a very high level of precision
when cutting, eliminating problems with
blade flexion and vibration.
Special focus was given to safety and from
inside the luminous pilot cabin the operator
can easily control all stages by using the
intuitive control panel.
The SIGMA 1600 PRO cutting
range goes from -45° to +67.5°
and segmented pipes to produce
special fittings are well within its
capabilities. It also has an auxiliary
bench for the pipe, including sliding
rollers and an anchor system.
