Palmgren 9684488 14" DUAL COLUMN AUTOMATIC BAND SAW

A true production saw designed for cutting a wide range of metals, built for high to extreme production needs that require high output and heavy duty performance. Palmgren's 12" automatic dual post production band saw offers extremely tight tolerances in both cutting repeatability and accuracy even at high cutting rates. The dual post design provides more rigidity, reduces vibration for higher cutting rates and delivers superior surface finish with increased blade life. Equipped with a hydraulic shuttle vise feed-system with split vises that clamps the workpiece securely on both sides of the blade, variable clamping pressure and touch screen multiple-job programming allows the operator to easily produce accurate cuts all day long.Heavy duty cast iron and steel construction provides superior stiffness and vibration dampeningAdvanced powertrain utilizes a precision gearbox with bronze worm gear and hardened and ground worm shaft, taper roller bearings operating in an oil bath delivering smooth, quiet positive SFPM to the bladeCast iron idler and drive wheelsFully automatic on demand hydraulic controls for the saw head, shuttle vise and split-jaw clamping viseThree point clamping viseShuttle vise has a two-sided hydraulic system that allows it to clamp and feed irregular pieces without bindingAdjustable clamping pressureApproach sensor reduces operation cycle time by allowing the saw head to approach the workpiece rapidly then slow to the chosen cutting rate just before the blade touches the workpieceHydraulic blade tension control provides for faster blade changes and ensures proper blade tensionAutomatic shut off safety system that senses a broken or loose blade stopping the machineRoller table with vertical & horizontal rollers that facilitates the holding and support of longer material allowing it to glide smoothly during the workpiece feeding processLatest technology electronic variable speed inverter control provides a broad range of blade speeds designed to fit
