Band saw VPS60-220A

panelverticalfor non-ferrous metals

Overview
The 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 reduces engagement length compared to horizontal designs, resulting in higher cutting capacities and lower tool costs. The VPS series is built with a robust frame and high-performance components for demanding applications in steel trade, industry and metal production, processing materials from non-ferrous metals and aluminium to steels and difficult-to-cut materials such as Inconel or titanium. The modular design allows individual adaptation to customer requirements.

Key features

• Vertical saw-band arrangement: reduced engagement length for wide slabs and plates, enabling use of smaller/finer-toothed blades, improved cutting performance and reduced kerf.
• High-performance sawing unit in a torsion-resistant C-frame design for improved cutting performance and low vibrations.
• Servo-driven feeding gripper in split design with two electronically linked spindle drives to position wide plates reliably and precisely.
• Superior precision and cutting performance due to torsion-resistant saw frame and feed force applied beneath the cutting point.
• Cast-iron band-guiding parts manufactured by BEHRINGER for vibration damping at the cutting edge and increased tool life.
• Powered duplex chip brushes actively clean the blade and prevent chips entering the cutting channel; brushes auto-adjust to the saw blade.
• BEHRINGER servo feed system: constant chip removal and rapid reaction to cutting-pressure sensors to prevent overloading and premature blade wear.
• Automatic guide arm: moving band guide automatically adjusted to cutting height for optimum results without manual adjustments.
• Good accessibility: open design for easy maintenance, direct access to wearing parts and simplified blade changes.
• Generously sized chip conveyor with integrated coolant tank positioned under the saw unit; removable for cleaning and maintenance.
• Economical use of carbide saw blades due to robust construction, servo technology and efficient chip disposal.
• Intuitive operation via touch-control PLC.
