PULSE CUTTING BANDSAW MACHINE

Amada’s Pulse Cutting Technology - This breakthrough achieves maximum blade performance by minimizing vibrations and cutting resistance.

Amada addressed this challenge and developed Pulse Cutting Technology as a solution to these problems. By sending controlled pulses to the blade, Amada has cancelled all unwanted vibrations for the most efficient metal cutting.

Amada PCSAW Series now offers four models to fit your requirements regarding cutting different sizes of material:

PCSAW means “Pulse Cutting Bandsaw Machine.”

Vibration has always been an inherent and unwanted characteristic of metal sawing, a trait that machine and blade manufacturers have been working to mitigate for over 50 years. Compounding the challenge is the need in today’s market for cutting harder, larger-sized materials.

With the conventional metal sawing method, high cutting rates were synonymous with decreased blade life and increased vibration and noise. The answer to the following formula, the value “A” has always had a limitation.

High Cutting Rates x High Precision x Low Noise x Long Blade Life = A

Pulse Cutting Remarkably Increases Productivity

Single pulse cutting cancels the vibrations that occur during the penetration force. This technology decreases cutting resistance while increasing blade life and cutting rates. Increased blade life is now guaranteed without sacrificing productivity.

Use SMARTCUT BAND for optimal perfor-mance of your PCSAW330. The combination of the machine and blade fully minimize the cutting resistance. SMARTCUT BAND also increases material yield by reducing kerf.

In most cutting applications, by controlling vibrations that occur during the penetration force, pulse cutting reduces cutting resistance and blade wear by 50 percent. Lower tooling cost is ensured by the extended blade life.

Double pulse cutting by servomotor controls vibrations that occur during the longitudinal and penetration forces. This technology generates the maximum efficiency of blade performance and enables high cutting rates with low noise levels.

Attain Higher Cutting Rates with Low Noise Levels

Increased Blade Life Without Sacrificing Productivity

The dual wire brushes contact the sides of the blade at the teeth, instantly cleaning the gullet area and avoiding excessive brush wear due to improper settings.
