Production band saw HBE860A Performance

HBE860A Performance relies on band-guiding components made of gray cast iron, which are manufactured in Behringer’s own foundry. Thanks to their high damping effect, they reduce vibrations directly at the band guide and lay the foundation for a smooth, precise sawing process. Together with the heavy, torsion-resistant machine frame and the precise gantry-style guide system, stress on the saw blade is effectively reduced.

The servo feed system with a ball screw and the sensitive cutting pressure control continuously adjust the feed rate to the actual cutting conditions. This prevents load spikes, protects the saw blade, and extends its service life. The result is lower tooling costs, high process reliability, and cost-effective machining of demanding materials.

The HBE860A Performance increases productivity when cutting large material cross-sections through high cutting performance, short idle times, and a robust design for demanding continuous operation. Even heavy solid materials, tubes, and structural shapes can be processed accurately and economically. The machine's extremely rigid construction, precision portal guide system, and automatic cutting pressure control ensure high process reliability and long blade life.

AFC Pro makes a major contribution to throughput. By dynamically adjusting cutting speed and feed rate to the actual cutting conditions, the system maximizes the performance potential of the saw blade. Especially when cutting large cross-sections, this results in significantly higher cutting performance and noticeably shorter cycle times. The servo-driven feed system and efficient chip disposal further reduce non-productive time and increase overall throughput.

The HBE860A Performance reduces the cost per cut through a combination of high cutting performance, long blade life, and short idle times. Its robust machine construction, precision portal guide system, and automatic cutting pressure control ensure a smooth cutting process while protecting the saw blade, even when cutting large material cross-sections. The servo-driven feed system also delivers highly consistent and precise feed motion. Especially when processing large solid materials, this contributes significantly to consistent cut quality, reduced tool wear, and longer blade life.

AFC (Auto-Feed-Control) is another key factor in reducing operating costs. After the material is selected from the integrated material database, the machine automatically determines the optimal cutting speed and feed rate. This eliminates incorrect settings and allows the saw blade to operate under ideal conditions. The result is high cutting performance, extended tool life, and a more cost-effective sawing process.

For large material diameters, a band saw is often the more economical solution. Because the kerf is significantly narrower, less material is turned into chips, which reduces material consumption and process costs. At the same time, less material needs to be machined, which reduces energy consumption. Thanks to modern carbide-tipped saw bands, high-performance band saws today achieve significantly higher cutting rates and, in many applications, come closer to the throughput of a circular saw than they did just a few years ago.

The HBE860A Performance combines these advantages with a heavy-duty, low-vibration machine structure, a precise servo feed system, and vibration-damping band guide components made of gray cast iron. This enables even large solid workpieces to be machined reliably and economically. The reduced material loss quickly pays for itself, especially when machining high-quality tool steels, stainless steels, and other cost-intensive materials.

The HBE860A Performance was specifically designed for demanding applications in metal distribution, steel service centers, and steel processing. Its extremely robust and rigid construction is engineered to handle heavy material weights, large cross-sections, and continuous operation in harsh production environments. Retracting vise jaws and the optional lowering material support make it easier to process scaled, dirty, or otherwise difficult-to-handle materials.

At the same time, the servo-driven feed system, automatic cutting pressure control, and precision portal guide system deliver high cutting performance and long blade life. Short non-productive times, efficient chip disposal, and a wide range of automation options ensure economical and reliable operation, even when processing large material volumes and heavy steel sections.

The HBE860A Performance has been specially developed for machining tool steels, stainless steels and other high-alloy materials. Its heavy, torsionally rigid machine structure, the precise gantry-type guide system and the grey cast iron components manufactured in Behringer’s own foundry ensure a low-vibration sawing process and high cutting accuracy. The servo feed system with ball screw and the sensitive cutting pressure control precisely adjust the feed rate to the respective cutting conditions. This protects the saw blade and the machine, extends service life and enables even demanding materials to be machined cost-effectively.
