Sawing Machines

Double Column Band Saw

Semi-Automatic & Automatic Horizontal Band Saw

Rigid double-column horizontal bandsaw for high-accuracy, heavy-duty stock cutting of large metal sections.

Rigid double-column horizontal bandsaw for high-accuracy, heavy-duty stock cutting of large metal sections

Typical Applications

  • Cutting of billets, heavy rounds, pipes, and large structural sections in steel plants.

  • High-volume stock cutting in defence, shipyard, and heavy fabrication workshops.

  • Cutting of alloy steels and thick profiles used in mining equipment and heavy engineering fabrication.

  • These machines are typically used as primary stock-cutting equipment, upstream of machining or fabrication.

Machine Description
  • • Double column horizontal band saws are designed for stable, repeatable cutting of heavy sections where blade control and frame rigidity directly affect cut accuracy and blade life.
  • • Double column construction provides parallel guidance of the saw frame, maintaining cut squareness under heavy cutting loads.
  • • Hydraulic cutting feed system maintains a consistent cutting rate across varying workpiece cross-sections.
  • • Hydraulic blade tensioning system and rigid blade guides keep the blade under controlled load during cutting.
  • • Automatic saw frame height adjustment with blade shut off on job completion.
  • • Blade breakage sensor / motion detector for immediate automatic shut-down.
  • • Hydraulic clamping and de-clamping system ensures rigid workpiece holding during cutting.
  • • Motorised wire brush continuously removes chips from the blade during operation.
  • • Machines are available in Semi-Automatic (DC) and Automatic (DCA) configurations, selected based on batch size and material handling requirements.

Technical Specifications

Note: Use of bimetal band saw blades is recommended for optimal cutting performance and blade life.

Accessories

  • • Chip conveyor system.
  • • Digital piece counter.
  • • Bundle clamping attachment (automatic models only).
  • • Motorised input bar feeder.
  • • Output bar stand for long or heavy workpieces.

Automatic Version (DCA)

  • • PLC-based control panel for programmed cutting cycles.
  • • Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for linear band speed control.
  • • Multiple indexing with up to 300 mm feed per stroke.
  • • Digital piece counter.

Configuration Notes

  • 1. Double column band saws are selected based on section size, material type, and production volume, not cutting capacity alone.
  • 2. Automatic variants are typically justified where repeatability, throughput, and reduced operator intervention are required.
  • 3. The indexing length is also an important factor in selection of the automatic machine.
