The HPSAW 310 with zero degree blade twist is the ultimate high performance bandsaw from Amada, achieving cutting rates on a bandsaw more usually found on carbide circular saws.
The HPSAW310 is Amada’s latest innovation in the highest performance saws.
The HPSAW310 removes one of the most significant barriers to high speed power sawing on a horizontal bandsaw machines – the required twist in the blade which at best can be 30°, and worst at 90°!
In order to enable the blade to flex in up to 3 directions (bend round wheels, twist before and after guides, and beam deflection from feed force) without fatiguing the backing material and causing breakages, the blade is compromised by having a thin and narrow section.
The narrower the blade width, the less beam strength it has which limits the pressure that can be applied by the saw and the more likely the blade is to deflect.
The Amada HPSAW310 removes the blade width limitations by having a zero degree blade twist, and enabling a optimal width blade to be used which provides the maximum beam strength and enables far higher feed forces to be used.
0° blade twist facilitating higher blade speeds and increased blade life 67mm wide blade for maximum beam strength High pressure coolant system Heavy bow construction to remove vibration and increase stability Double blade brush unit for effective blade cleaning Non-contact blade deflection monitor for maximum reliability The HPSAW is fitted with a blade deviation detector that prevents blade “run off” during the cut by alerting the operator and stopping the machine.
Amada has developed a new blade to optimise the performance of the HPSAW and it’s fast cutting in steels – the HP1 carbide tipped bandsaw blade is a derivative of the successful Axcela range of carbide blades manufactured by Amada.
By designing both the saw and the blade Amada can deliver the best possible cutting performance with no compromises.
The saw is built with a very heavy duty frame and a 3 dimensional bow design allowing the blade wheels to be mounted horizontally whilst retaining a strong box with twin pillars for the head movement and control mechanism.
By designing from the principle of optimum cutting performance at the blade tip, Amada has built this saw from the blade out.
Strongest tip, on the strongest backing material, with powerful feed forces require a strong design in the fabric of the machine to support the cutting edge performance.
The result is a bandsaw that can cut faster than a carbide circular saw.
