Amada HD Band saws

HD series
These are machines specially designed to cut structural steel. During development of these machines, emphasis was placed on reduction of labor and high speed to meet the recent advances in steel structure design. They are equipped with Amadas exclusive cut control feedback control, fine-feed and an angle-cutting system. To maintain a constant cutting rate. Therefore, the speed is low for large areas and higher for small areas. This means that the cutting rate is always optimum to extend the service life of the blade.

The angle cutting system is indispensable when cutting structural steel. On the Amada machine, the reference point in angle cutting is the same as for square cutting. The cutting angle is set by a hydraulic cylinder, and it only requires ten seconds to set.

H-900HD is equipped with a hydraulic shuttle type front vise.
This vise facilitates to determine the cutting position of large materials.

The light beam casts the shadow of the saw blade onto the material
to be cut. This enables accurate cutting on a scribed line. The material to be cut can be moved by the fine-feed until the scribed line aligns with the edge of the shadow.

Hydraulic floating rollers both in front and back of the machine facilitate loading and positioning the material. This system monitors the cutting area of the material and automatically adjusts the cutting speed.
Amada has recently developed a linear loading, cutting, and unloading system, and combined it with a drilling machine for Hbeam. The HD series bandsaw acts as the nucleus of this very efficient structural steel fabrication system.
