Metal cutting requires the use of specialized equipment, cutting tools and special technology.
Metal cutting requires the use of specialized equipment, cutting tools and special technology.
The use of belt metal cutting machines makes it possible to obtain high-quality cutting of rectilinear and profile surfaces (brands, I-beams, round, quadrant and other rolled products).
Classification of band saw machines Band saw machines are divided into 4 classes that regulate their scope of application: 1.
The first class is universal machines for processing both soft metals (bronze, aluminum, copper) and high–alloy steels.
A wide range of applications implies their large dimensions, weight and price.
The cutting process is fully automated; 2.
The second class is inferior in quality and performance to the first, but has found industrial application for obtaining straight and angular cuts.
Universal equipment.
Automatic and semi-automatic models are available (with manual feeding of the workpiece); 3.
The third class is used in small industrial sites and private workshops where more precise metal processing is not required.
According to the degree of automation of the cutting process, there are automatic, semi-automatic and manual; 4.
The fourth class is household belt equipment for use in private mechanical workshops or in everyday life.
The price of the equipment largely depends on the level of automation, speed and quality of processing, which guarantees maximum cutting performance of parts (workpieces).
When choosing a saw, the main characteristics are guided, which in turn depend on the thickness of the workpiece being processed.
These parameters are: Power (maximum load) from 200 W to 5 kW; The speed of movement of the cutting blade, the harder the material, the lower the speed (40-200 meters per minute); The length of the working blade (from 0.5 to 3.4 m), the longer the blade, the less time it takes to cool it, therefore, it is possible to increase the cutting speed and others .
A band saw for metal is a universal tool, it can also cut plastic and wooden blanks, due to the presence of an adjustment of the speed of movement of the blade.
