H3133NC – Clausing Kalamazoo Double Column Automatic Horizontal Bandsaw 31.5” x Max Rectangular Capacity

Machine Features:

• Oversized Precision ground, large Dual Columns support and guide the rugged saw head through the entire cutting cycle. The saw head adopts a back tilt design which allows the blade to twist less than traditional bandsaws between the wheel and blade guide; thereby putting less stress on the blade, insuring longer life.
• The oversized round columns provide hundreds of square inches of continuous surface contact with the sawhead throughout the entire cutting process.
• Cross Link is located on the top of the columns, connecting the two columns to form an archway design that gives it sound structural strength.
• Hydraulic shuttle vise assembly, made of heavy-duty cast iron with replaceable hardened wear plates, rides on two large guide shafts that are capable of handling extreme loads. Both shafts are ground and chrome plated for durability and smooth material feeding.
• The gearbox is specifically designed to accept high lateral pressure. Unlike conventional gearboxes, the Clausing design accepts more pressure during operation and will not create thermal distortion, providing long gearbox life under production conditions.
• Inverter blade drive system allows infinitely variable blade speeds to be controlled by the operator from the control panel with the turn of a knob. The system comes standard with LED readout for convenient and accurate setting of blade speed.
• Carbide blade guides are activated hydraulically for consistent and correct guide clamping to insure straight cuts. The guides are relieved to provide unsurpassed lubrication and cooling of the blade and blade guides.
• The bearing guides eliminate blade stress by pre-aligning the blade before it enters the carbide guides. Two additional guides located on a central axis support the blade from the top, giving it extra penetrating force for faster cuts.
• Heavy-duty cast guide arms effectively absorb vibration and enhance cutting result. The movable guide arm is hydraulically actuated ensuring rapid and accurate movement.
• Automatic hydraulic blade tensioning device provides correct blade tensioning when the machine is turned on and will slightly release the tension when the machine is not running. This extends blade life. The on-off hydraulic valve switch is an added feature making blade change quicker and easier.
• Integral coolant system. Coolant is supplied at three critical points: exit and entry of blade through blade guides, and middle of cut via adjustable flex hose.
• The machine base is designed with pitch to drain the coolant back to the coolant tank.
• Synchronized power driven blade brush effectively cleans chips from blade to extend blade life.
• The operator’s control station located independently from the saw is convenient and user friendly. All operator controls are positioned on the top of the control box and clearly labeled for ease of operation. The electrical components are located inside the control box with the main lockout disconnect on the front of the control box for safety and easy maintenance.
• Smart NC-20 (SNC20) technology provides most of the benefits of NC controlled saws at a mere fraction of the cost. SNC20 controls are programmable to 20 different jobs including quantity and length of cut. The control automatically compensates for Kerf loss after data input and requires no manual calculation of number of times to index. The control also automatically shuts down the machine, blade motor and hydraulics, once the programmed number of cuts or out of stock situation has been achieved. The system includes an error feedback function enabling rapid troubleshooting through an error code to be displayed in the event of a malfunction.
