The fastest band sawing line for structural steel cutting - New KATANA “E” series

ficepgroup.com...
While band saws have been utilized for cutting of structural steel for years until now no saw has implemented advanced engineering to minimize the cutting times like the new FICEP KATANA “E” series. It starts with the cast iron head assembly which has the unique ability to absorb vibrations that are generated during sawing. This reduction in vibration enhances the blade life and minimizes the sawing times.
The band saw wheels are tilted to reduce the required blade twist for enhanced performance and blade life. The new automatic self-positioning blade guides offers improved blade guiding and reduced vibration, reduction of blade wear, improved cutting quality.
The arch movement along the vertical axis is handled by electric drives, which replace the hydraulic ones, allowing a better blade feeding speed regulation.
Also the sawing unit rotation is managed by electric drives guaranteeing better positioning accuracy and faster positioning cycle.
The machine is managed directly by the on board CNC, but it can be easily managed through an independent controller.
Katana has been designed with a modularity concept that makes it functional as a stand-alone machine but perfectly integrable with an automatic beam drilling and milling line.
