The dynamic way to saw
bEHRINGER unveiled its new
HBE Dynamic series to an eager public
for the very first time at EMO 2013 in
Hanover. It has been heralded as the
answer to ever-growingmarket demands
for more efficient, more economical
and more precise sawing machines.
“Increased performance coupled with
reduced energy consumption, a smaller
footprint, and improved occupational
safety without compromising handling
simplicity were only part of the product
brief for the development team working
on this new machine,” said CEO
Christian Behringer. Available in four
model types – 261, 321, 411 and 511
with corresponding cutting ranges – the
new HBE Dynamic series will cover a
broad application spectrum for the steel
trade, for mechanical engineering, tool
making and for high-end metalworking
shops.
With an outstanding tool life of over
400 sawing cuts in 200mm diameter
42CrMo4 material, for instance, the new
HbE261A dynamic performs well above
standard, taking even the most stringent
demands easily in its stride. Playing a
key role in this achievement are proven
Behringer features such as further
improved cutting pressure control, which
consistently helps prevent tool overload.
A stable saw frame made of vibration-
damped grey cast iron and double-
sided bearings for the band wheels take
care of minimised noise and optimum
cutting precision. Tests have revealed
increases in tool life of up to 30 per cent,
with a visible improvement to the quality
of cut surfaces. The inclined position of
the band wheels also helps protect the
bandsaw blades as a result of reduced
flexural stress.
Production using minimal resources
and efficient, sustainable use of
energy are recurring themes which are
constantly in the news. Rising energy
prices mean that companies are having
to rethink their existing processes
and develop innovative technological
solutions to achieve higher output with
lower energy input. “With the new HBE
Dynamic series, we are proving that
energy efficiency and high-performance
hydraulics are not a contradiction in
terms,” explained Mr Behringer. With
the use of state-of-the-art frequency-
controlled drive systems from renowned
manufacturers and application-
orientated gear speeds, a simple kW
motor output specification is no longer
any guarantee of high cutting output.
