Kaltenbach Ltd have introduced into the UK a new generation of highly efficient Behringer straight-cutting automatic bandsaws, the HBP413A and 513A. Able to accurately cut all metals, from profiles to high tensile ferrous & non-ferrous solids, these new heavy-duty hydraulic high production horizontal bandsaw machines are the perfect stockholding saws.

Material capacities are 410 for the HBP413A and 510 for the 513A, which with a bundle clamp (optional) has a capacity of 45-500mm wide x 10-500mm high. One of the first installations in the UK has been an HBP513A at Struthers and Carter of Hull, one of the countries oldest metal stockists and part of the Barrett Steel Group of companies, the largest independent steel stockholders in the UK. Fitted with 18 metre long input and output roller-ways and a bundle cutting clamp, it’s a highly efficient workhorse to rapidly cut the broad mix of steels supplied from the Hull site, which from this saw includes, plate, angle, tube and small structural steel sections.

"The new saw has not only given us further undoubted improvement in our value-added capability but also importantly, our speed of response, which in to days competitive climate is increasingly vital” says Fred Radford, Managing Director, Struthers and Carter.

The HBP413A and 513A includes an impressive array of standard features, including full NC programming, with all machine functions controlled by PLC via the operators terminal, for data entry, storage and diagnostic display. Many optional equipment extras are also available, including laser-light saw blade positioning, bundle clamping and added handling and conveyor options.
