Band saw HBM720ALU-Z

verticalfor non-ferrous metalsfor aluminum

Product overview
The HBM720ALU-Z aluminium band saw is engineered for economical, high-performance cutting of aluminium billets and other non-ferrous metals. The machine design and thin saw blade minimise kerf and material loss while enabling high cutting speeds and reduced cycle times for modern series production. Enclosed housing with direct extraction connection supports clean operation and reproducible cut quality.

Key features

• High cutting performance: Cutting speeds up to 3,000 m/min; e.g. Ø300 mm round bar can be cut in ~10 s for efficient series production.
• Optimised material clamping: Dual vertical units provide secure, precise clamping; independently movable units let the feed gripper approach the blade to minimise off-cut lengths.
• Process reliability: Centred flow via prismatic roller conveyor and matched peripheral equipment ensure stable, controlled processes.
• Long tool life: Pronounced band wheel angle reduces bending and alternating loads on the saw band for extended service life.
• Short cycle times: Dynamic, parallel axis movements reduce non-productive times for high productivity.
• High-performance band guide: Large-diameter guide rollers with centralised lubrication and sealed bearings for stable guidance and long lifetime.
• Material savings: Thin saw blade reduces cutting channel vs circular saws, lowering chip volume and cost per part.
• Diameter flexibility: Varying diameters processed without blade changes or extra setup time.
• Quick saw band change: Tool-free change by one person reduces downtime.
• Energy-efficient: Modern drive technology and narrow cutting channel reduce energy consumption.
• Efficient extraction and clean processes: Enclosure designed for high-performance chip extraction with sealed covers and dedicated extraction points.

System layout (representative peripheral components)

• Chip evacuation unit — high-performance extraction for chips, dust and oil mist.
• Feeding gripper — automated feed gripper for reliable material handling.
• Tilting device — tipper for unloading trim cuts and rest pieces into scrap containers.
• Infeed magazine — lift & carry system with material recognition to feed billets to the roller conveyor.
• Marking unit for short cuts — marking station for short parts.
• V-rollers — prismatic roller conveyor for reliable transport of round stock.
• Chain cross-conveyor for short cuts — conveyor for short part transport.
• Buffer zone for long cuts — staging area for long parts.
