Band saw VPS60-200A

Overview
The automatic plate saw BEHRINGER VPS60-200A is designed for fully automatic cross-cutting of large plates and slabs. The vertical arrangement of the saw band reduces engagement length compared with horizontal designs, enabling shorter bands and finer-toothed blades for improved cutting performance and reduced tool costs. The VPS series features a modular concept and components sized for industrial use in steel trade, metal production and demanding manufacturing environments.

Key features

• Vertical saw-band arrangement reduces engagement length for wide plates and slabs, allowing use of smaller, finer-toothed bands and reducing kerf.
• C-frame saw unit with direct guidance of the saw frame near the work area for stable cutting and low vibration.
• Servo-driven feeding gripper with linear-moving fixed vice jaw for reliable and precise positioning; split gripper design to handle wide plates; positioned by two electronically linked spindle drives.
• Precise feed behaviour through torsion-resistant saw frame and feed force applied beneath the cutting point to ensure accurate material advance.
• Cast-iron band-guiding components by BEHRINGER to damp vibrations at the cutting edge and extend blade life.
• Powered duplex chip brushes that actively clean the blade and prevent chips entering the cutting channel; brushes automatically adjust to the blade.
• Servo feed system for constant chip removal and rapid reaction to cutting-pressure sensors to prevent blade overload and premature wear.
• Automatic guide-arm adjustment: moving band guide is set automatically to the cutting height for optimal results without manual intervention.
• Generously sized chip conveyor with integrated coolant tank under the saw unit; collects and separates chips and coolant and is extendable for cleaning and maintenance.
• Economical use of carbide bandsaws enabled by the machine design, servo technology and effective chip disposal.

Additional product aspects

• High-performance band guide combined with the servo feed system.
• Feed gripper driven by ball screw and servo motor.
• Intelligent PLC control with touch operation for straightforward handling.
• Efficient chip conveyor with integrated coolant tank and easy access for maintenance.
• Stable C-frame saw construction with covered material support.
• Demo video available showing automatic operation (video referenced on the product page).
