Adaptable high-performance
circular sawing line
FEATURES of the new HCS 180 multi-
fluid circular saw from Behringer Eisele
include a new machine base and
optimised chip disposal. For the division
of high alloyed heat-resistant steels
greater than 1,200N/mm², the HCS 180
MF 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 a
microspray system, to active saw blade
cooling for dry cutting applications.
The circular sawing line is configured
for workpiece diameters of up to 180mm.
The standard speed range of 20 to 250
rpm provides scope for almost any type
of sawing assignment.
The 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, for instance,
ensures the rapid disposal of produced
chips and coolant. For cleaning it can be
easily pulled out of the machine.
The machine has also been made
more rigid, in order to improve vibration
dampening. The new saw blade guide,
with blade vibration absorber (BVA) 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 circular saw, the
HCS 180 MF focuses on maximum
yield, but without neglecting production-
specific, flexible integration into
downstream production processes.
Different infeed and discharge systems,
and link-up to magazines and storage
systems, ensure independence from set
night and day shift working.
