TDC-1000CNC - Dual Column CNC Tube Band Saw

Machine Details & Specs:

Operator Control Console
The operator control console is mounted at the front of the machine. Its placement insures the operator’s safety by keeping their hands clear of the sawband at band start.

Siemens Touch Screen Panel
The touchscreen workstation provides the operator with easy to access job programming along with constant monitoring of jobs while the machine is running in automatic. The work station also monitors and displays blade speed, head feed rate, and head and indexer position at all times. It automatically displays and stores any error messages for ease of troubleshooting eliminating long periods of downtime.

Saw Head Design
The saw head is mounted on linear rails which are mounted to two robust columns at a 10 degree cant. The 4 point head mounting system to the columns increases stability of the saw head allowing for increased blade life.

Direct Driven Band Drive
Drive is comprised of an electric VFD controlled motor transferring power thru a gear reduction unit directly to the drive wheel eliminating belt slippage giving positive torque to the sawblade.

Retractable Shuttle Type Index Vice
Both index vice jaws retract when the vice is opened to accommodate the movement of crooked stock increasing accuracy and repeatability.

Multiple Machine Cycles
The machine can be operated in either semi-automatic or automatic mode:
In semi-automatic mode the material is placed manually by the operator or by use of the GTO function and clamped in place. The saw band is started and the cut is completed.
In the automatic mode the operator programs the pieces to be cut in one of the 99 jobs, sets the material, and starts the cycle. The machine automatically cycles thru the parts as programmed making it a “hands free” operation

Hydraulic Band Tension
Eliminates the possibility of over/under tightening of the band for maximum cutting rates and band life.

Flood Coolant System
Supplies coolant to the blade evenly before and after the cut creating straighter cuts and allowing longer blade life due to coolant being supplied at the tooth tip.

Modified Metered Feed System
The metered cutting feed rates are regulated by the use of a hydraulic throttle valve which is controlled by a servo motor which allows us to achieve a very precise feed rate. This rate is also monitored by the system using 2 programmable operator inputs ARP and RZP.
ARP is an operator setting which allows the machine to regulate the feed rate depending on the resistance of the material or dulling of the saw blade decreasing the chance of out of square cuts.
RZP is an operator setting allowing for the setting of optimal feed rates depending on the saw band position in the material. Rates can be automatically sped up or slowed down to decrease blade wear and increase productivity.
