500MV Vertical Band Saw
Standard Features
Machine can miter cut 45 degrees to the right and left, as well as cut vertically
Angle is adjusted hydraulically
Material is clamped by hydraulic vises – 2 sets, left & right of blade
Variable vise pressure with panel mounted adjusting valve
Machine movement is on linear bearings to provide maximum rigid-ity and smooth motion
The saw head feed utilizes a load sensing valve which stops the feed if the blade starts to overload, typical when cutting the web of structural shapes
Blade Guides are carbide faced with roller to remove blade twist and dampen vibration
Magnetic motor starter with automatic shut off at the end of cut, mo-tors thermal overload protection
Blade is preloaded to optimize cutting
Blade tension is adjusted hydraulically

Blade speed controlled with a variable frequency drive
Manual saw forward, saw retract, saw cut, vises open/closed, slow and fast and saw head tilt
Semi automatic cut cycle consists of saw start, saw cut, saw stop, and saw retract
Adjustable stops for saw travel forward allow notching of blocks and saw retract to allow for different sizes of material
