Band saw VPS60-160A

Overview
The automatic plate saw VPS60-160A is BEHRINGER's solution for fully automatic cross-cutting of large plates and slabs. Vertical band arrangement reduces engagement length compared with horizontal layouts, enabling higher cutting capacity and lower tooling costs. The robust C-frame design, high-performance components and modular concept make the VPS60-160A suitable for demanding use in steel trade, industrial production and metalworking, from non-ferrous metals and aluminium to difficult-to-cut alloys such as Inconel and titanium.

Key features

• Vertical band arrangement: reduces engagement length when sawing wide slabs and plates; allows use of smaller, finer-toothed blades for improved cutting performance and reduced kerf.
• High-performance sawing unit: torsion-resistant C-frame with direct guidance of the saw frame close to the work area for low vibration and consistent results.
• Servo-driven feeding gripper: linear-moving fixed vice jaw for accurate material positioning; split design for wide plates with two electronically linked spindle drives.
• Direct feed force at cut point: feed applied beneath the cutting point for more precise feed movements, quiet running and extended blade life.
• Cast-iron band guide parts: vibration damping at the cutting edge to increase tool life.
• Powered duplex chip brushes: active blade cleaning and prevention of chips entering the cutting channel; brushes adapt automatically to the blade.
• Servo feed system: ensures constant chip removal and rapid response to cutting-pressure sensors to prevent overload and premature blade wear.
• Automatic guide arm: moving band guide adjusts automatically to cutting height for optimum results without manual intervention.
• Open design for accessibility: direct access to wear parts for simplified maintenance, repairs and blade changes.
• Chip conveyor (standard): large-capacity conveyor with integrated coolant tank under the saw unit; collects and separates chips and coolant and can be pulled out for cleaning.
• User interface: all functions operated via intuitive touch control.
