Innovative high-performance circular saw for
wet or dry cutting makes its debut
THE new HCS 160 multifluid from
Behringer Eisele features a new
machine frame and optimised chip
disposal.
Suitable for the division of high-
alloyed heat-resistant steels greater
than 1,200N/mm², the HCS 160
provides a hybrid of tried-and-tested
saw technology with a high degree of
variability and adaptability.
In line with the specific machining
assignment and saw cutting
requirements, a range of special
possibilities are offered, from workpiece
cooling using emulsion and the use of
different microspray devices, to active
saw blade cooling for dry cutting
applications.
The circular sawing line is configured
for workpiece diameters of up to
160mm. The standard speed range
of 20 to 250rpm allows for almost any
type of sawing assignment. The entire
machine concept has been optimised
to permit extended functionality for wet
and dry cutting. A new chip conveyor
with integrated coolant reservoir
and coolant pump ensures the rapid
disposal of produced chips and coolant.
The machine has also been made more
rigid, with a view to improving vibration
dampening. The new saw blade guide
with BVA (blade vibration absorber) and
active chip cleaning concept provides a
bonus in terms of saw blade lifetime,
coupled with an improved cutting
surface for precise, rapid cuts, whether
working wet or dry.
As a fully automatic high-performance
circular saw, the HCS 160 still focuses
on maximum yield, but without
neglecting production-specific, flexible
integration into downstream production
processes – a high degree of material
handling flexibility is vital in allowing
adjustment to continuously changing
markets.
