OverviewThe all-time classic is back. The Format4 sliding table panel saw kappa 450 combines advanced technology, ergonomic operation and enhanced safety for industrial woodworking. The large circular saw unit accepts blade diameters up to 450 mm and provides a maximum cutting height of 155 mm. The machine is distinguished by its heavy-duty Saw Unit "155", precision sliding table and optional x-motion control with 10" touchscreen for intuitive multi-axis operation.
Key features- Large circular saw unit: supports blade diameters up to 450 mm; cutting height up to 155 mm (approx. 6"; 150 mm referenced in some documents).
- Saw blade tilt range 0°–45°; cutting height 109 mm at 45° blade tilt.
- Heavy-duty cast iron Saw Unit "155" for power, precision and smooth running.
- Tilt segment Easy-Glide and oversized saw arbor with double trunnions for vibration-free machining.
- Standard speeds: 3500 / 4500 / 5500 rpm (with 10 kW motor available speeds 3500 and 4500); optional continuously variable 2000–6000 rpm.
- 3-axis scoring unit with operation display and park position; optional red LED strip to indicate scoring operation.
- Tool-free saw blade change with Quick-Lock / Easy-Lock clamping systems for fast blade and riving-knife exchange.
- Optional spraying unit for processing non-ferrous metals and plastics.
- x-motion variants: automatic rip fence, extensive tool storage, programmable cutting sequences and touchscreen control.
- Control options: Power Drive (standard) or x-motion (touchscreen on x-motion models).
- Safety: optional PCS® Preventive Contact System for fastest non-contact triggering; PCS detects hazards and stops hazardous situations within milliseconds. PCS complements but does not replace mandatory protective devices (splitter, saw guard).
- Extraction: overhead saw guard with below-table extraction and optimised chip flow for efficient dust removal.
- Sliding table: X-Roll sliding table with Felder linear guidance, dust wipers, hardened and ground guides and a 10-year guarantee.
- Rip fence: standard rip fence on round-bar guide with table scale, fine adjustment and optional electronic digital readout visible from any position.
- Accessories and options: electronic digital display, pneumatic workpiece holder, laser cutting line marker, pneumatic clamps, dado capability and c-tech packages for plastics.
Highlights and benefits- Consistent high performance for continuous industrial operation.
- Wide range of configuration packages and customer-specific production solutions.
- Robust engineering with premium components and precision manufacturing.
- Excellent user ergonomics and high productivity.
- Extensive service network and tailored financing solutions available via the vendor.
