Highest efficiency in cross-cutting plates and blocksThe automatic plate saw VPS60-220A is BEHRINGER's solution for fully automatic cross-cutting of large plates and blocks. The vertical arrangement of the saw band offers clear advantages over horizontal designs, as the engagement length of the saw band is significantly shorter. This results in higher cutting capacities and reduced tool costs.Thanks to their robust basic design and high-performance components, the automatic plate saws of the VPS series are designed for demanding applications in the steel trade, industry, and metal production. They are suitable for non-ferrous metals, aluminum, simple work steels, and difficult-to-cut materials such as Inconel or titanium. The modular design allows the cross-cutting plate saw to be individually adapted to the customer's application.Vertical arrangement of the saw bandReduces the engagement length when sawing wide slabs and plates. Compared to horizontal band saws, smaller and finer toothed bandsaw blades can be used. This increases cutting performance, lowers tool costs, and reduces the kerf.High-performance sawing unitIn a torsion-resistant C-frame design forms the core of the system. Direct guidance of the saw frame close to the work area allows for better cutting performance and low vibrations.Servo-driven feeding gripperWith linear moving fixed vice jaw positions the material reliably and precisely. The gripper is split to accommodate wide plates and is positioned via two electronically linked spindle drives.Unsurpassed precision and cutting performanceHigh cutting accuracy, quiet running, and long blade life are achieved by the special torsion-resistant design of the saw frame. The force for the saw feed is applied directly beneath the cutting point, resulting in more accurate feed movements.Cast iron band guiding partsManufactured by Behringer, these provide vibration damping directly at the cutting edge, increasing tool life.Powered duplex chip brushesActively clean the blade and prevent chips from being drawn into the cutting channel. The brushes are automatically adjusted towards the saw blade, ensuring uniform cleaning and increased tool service life.Servo Feed SystemThe Behringer servo feeding system ensures constant chip removal and maximizes the capabilities of modern bandsaw blades. Rapid response to cutting pressure sensors prevents overloading and premature wear.Automatic guide armThe moving band guide is automatically adjusted to the cutting height for optimal sawing results without manual adjustments.Optimum accessibilityAll important parts and components are easily accessible. The open design offers direct access to all wearing parts, optimizing maintenance and repairs and simplifying saw blade changes.Chip conveyor standardA generously sized chip conveyor with integrated coolant tank is located under the saw unit, directly in the chip flow direction. Chips and coolant are collected and separated here. The conveyor can be moved out for cleaning and maintenance.Economical use of carbide saw bladesThanks to robust design, latest servo technology, and well-dimensioned chip disposal.Easy to useQuick and easy operation of all functions via touch control.Technical DataCutting range flat W x H2,250 x 600 mmSmallest dimension to be sawn flat W x H500 x 20 mmShortest cutting length15 mmFeeding length single stroke1,500 mmDrive power7.5 kWBlade speed17 - 120 m/minSaw blade dimensions11,080 x 54 x 1.6 mmRest piece length in automatic operation40 mmTotal power15 kWSaw feedservo-feed via pinion gearMaterial feedball screwMaterial clampinghydraulicSaw blade cleaningelectrically driven chip brushLength11,700 mmWidth3,600 mmHeight4,220 mmWeight19,000 kgMaterial support height1,650 mmKey FeaturesVertical saw band for reduced engagement length and higher cutting performanceTorsion-resistant C-frame for stability and low vibrationServo-driven feeding gripper for precise material positioningHigh cutting accuracy and long blade lifeCast iron band guides for vibration dampingPowered duplex chip brushes for blade cleaningServo feed system for optimal chip removalAutomatic guide arm adjustmentEasy maintenance and accessibilityIntegrated chip conveyor and coolant tankTouch control operation
