Metal cutting with a band saw

Band saw cutting

Black and non-ferrous metal, forgings made of stainless steel and heat-resistant grades are subject to cutting. The process is carried out on band saw machines. For metal cutting, it is important to choose modern equipment that meets the technological requirements and customer needs. Company “A-Synthesis” is a reliable and time-tested (more than 8 years of operation!) supplier of rolled metal products and equipment for steel processing.

Cutting with band saws – this is a type of metalworking designed to obtain raw materials from ferrous and non-ferrous metal, the diameter of which does not exceed 25 cm. The cutting element – steel belt with teeth moving along the ring.

The advantages of band saws:

• the cut is neat and clean;
• high performance;
• thin cutting width (0.7-1.5 mm);
• minimum power;
• easy to use.

How cutting is done:

1. The toothed belt moves at a speed of 150 mm/s on average.
2. Movement and friction generate heat, causing the metal to melt.
3. Saws cut metal into sheet blanks.
4. Despite the fact that cutting metal on a band saw – highly efficient process, in large industries this type of processing is rarely used. The reason is that in the process of cutting blanks, sagging is obtained that needs to be eliminated – and this slows down the productivity of workers.

The choice of equipment for the manufacture of thin metal sheets of the same shape is carried out based on the following criteria:

1. The steel grade and section range are determined. In accordance with these characteristics, the number of consumables is counted and the appropriate cutting tool is selected.
2. Determines the slicing method. For example, the angle method requires a saw unit on the machine.
3. “A-Synthesis” Carries out metal cutting on machines of two types: automatic and semi-automatic. The type of machine is selected based on how much load the equipment will carry.

A distinctive feature of the – processing and supply of European-made steels, as well as parts that are not produced in Ukraine. We have all the necessary equipment for high-quality cutting of rolled metal. When ordering a service from “A-Synthesis” you free yourself from a long search for a professional contractor who does quality work and at the same time takes it inexpensively.

Our specialists:

• observe geometric accuracy;
• they produce metal products of any shape and size (round, square, hexagonal, etc.), including shaped products (channels, angles, I-beams, etc.);
• do not leave burrs, melting and other defects after cutting.

The company’s specialists also work with plastic and cast iron. Additional services of the company: laser welding and marking, powder coating, turning and milling works, welding of materials. If necessary, we will draw up drawings or produce a part according to your sketches. Lead time depends on the amount of work.
