• A completely automatic cutting cycle synchronized with an automatic barfeed mechanism and stock clamping action provide accurate repetitive cutting.
• An excellent blade tensioning system and guides keep the blade aligned and under constant load at all times.
• A hydraulically controlled cutting feed maintains a constant cutting rate regardless of the workpiece cross section.
• A power-driven brush continually flushed by a cutting fluid spout keeps the blade and saw guides free of chips for smoother cutting.
• A quick approach and normal feed rate selector are equipped to cause the blade to quickly descend into position.
• A " Cutting Piece Counter " is used to preset the number of cuts required during automatic operation.
• Two hydraulically operated vises,one a fixed front vise,the other an indexible travelling vise in the rear side.
• The hydraulically operated nesting fixture is designed for high producton multiple sawing of stacked bars, small rounds and tubes. The fixture contains vertical cylinders mounted on the index and front vises. It holds stacked work firmly toprevent vibration.
• A cutting length presetting device is built into the saw to preset the re-quired cutting lenght of a workpiece during automatic operation. It is simply operated by means of a read-out digital device.
• Multiple stroke Preset Counter: when a cutting length of more than 16 is required, the number of strokes can be preset on this counter. The counter is capable of being set to a maximum of nine strokes 144 "

SAFETY DESIGN- Every MEGA Band Saw is factory equipped with :

• Safety and thermal overload switches.
• Well guarded blades and wheel covers.
• Saw Blade shuts off automatically when cutting is complete.
• Low voltage & zero voltage controls.
• A blade breakage sensor/motion detector provides automatic shutoff.

1.PRECISE CUT OFF LENGTH SETTING: A convenient digital readout control located at the operator's station provides easy selection of precise bar length requirement. The digital readout is calibrated in 0.10 mm or 0.01 IN increments and can be reposi-tioned without interrupting the cutting cycle.

2.AUTO HEAD-ELEVATION AND QUICK APPROACH: Raising the blade higher than necessary to clear the work for the next cut wastes time Head elevation is controlled automatically and nolonger requires the operator's attention. A control device that senses the size of the workpiece permits the saw head to raise just high enough so the blade clears the work. This reduces index cycling time significantly.

3.NESTING FIXTURE: The hydraulically-operated nesting ficture is designed for high-production multiple sawing of stacked bars. small rounds andtubing. The fixture contains vertical cyinders mounted on the index and front vises. lt holds stacked work firmly to assure accurate cuts and prevent center bars from turning.

4.QUICK-ADJUSTING CARBIDE SAWBAND GUIDES: For the replacement of the saw blade or the repositioning of the guide arms. two levers are incorporated in the saw guides to allow these operations to be carried out quickly and efficiently. (standard on 460/550 models) (optional on other models)

5.IDLE WHEEL MOTION DETECTOR: The device not only can protect the saw blade from damage if the blade overloads during cutting. but will also shutoff the machine if the blade should break.

6. QUICK-ACTION HYDRAULIC TWIN-VICE (STANDARD) 2-jaw clamping: Two hydraulic operated vises one is a fix-ed front vise, the other is an indexible travelling vise. (Available on HA models only)

7 .QUICK-ACTION HYDRAULIC TWIN-VICE (SPLIT)3-JAW CLAMPING: Materials are firmly clampled on both sides of the saw blade by twin vices. Operating a single switch provides manual or automatic clamping and unclamping materials. These unique twin vices allow automatic bar feed and cutting to within as little as 2" of bar end. (Available on HAS/HAAS models only)

8.UNIQUE TWO-WAY VISE JAW: Both vise jaws on the rear work-carriage are actuated simultaneously, opening or closeing, instead of the traditional one that is fixed on one side, moveable on anotner. This particular design ensures accurate indexing even with warped stock.
