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.

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
