CUTTING TECHNOLOGY, SAWING & SAW BLADES

High performance semi-automatic bandsaw boosts metal cutting efficiency

event of any irregularities, protecting the operator from potential risks. The SAR 610 stands out for its solid supporting structure made from high quality, thick carpentry, designed to provide stability and resistance even during demanding material processing tasks. Every component, from the vice assembly to the rotation device, is made from steel plate to ensure optimal rigidity and exceptional wear resistance. The ergonomic operator position is designed for easy access to all control points, allowing for quick and safe adjustments. The SAR 610 also includes a blade cleaning brush and a high-flow pump for optimal lubrication, ensuring that the blade remains in top condition for clean, precise cuts. Every SAR 610 saw undergoes a series of assembly tests, electrical checks and final inspections to guarantee the highest levels of quality and functionality. This thorough verification process ensures that each machine meets the high standards that define the Thomas brand.

speed, enabling it to adapt to specific cutting requirements. Additionally, the console is equipped with an advanced fault diagnostics system that constantly monitors the machine’s status, alerting operators to any issues for timely intervention and minimising downtime. This system not only ensures safe machine operation, but also contributes to prolonging the machine’s lifespan and maintaining consistent productivity over time. The cutting cycle of the SAR 610 is designed for maximum operational efficiency. The vice opening can be adjusted manually, while the hydraulic material clamping is activated via a selector on the control panel. The descent and ascent of the saw frame are managed by a hydraulic device, allowing precise control over the descent speed, optimizing processing time, and enhancing safety. The SAR 610 is equipped with an advanced electrical system with protective features, including safety micro-switches, fuses against electrical overloads and thermal relays for motor protection. Additionally, a safety micro switch on the flywheel guard ensures immediate machine shutdown in the

THE Thomas SAR 610 semi-automatic bandsaw is a robust, versatile machine equipped with advanced technology for metal cutting. With its solid structure, customisable functions and a strong focus on safety, the SAR 610 is useful for companies looking to increase operational efficiency and ensure high quality results for all production needs. One of the defining features of the SAR 610 is its adjustable hydraulic descent system, which guarantees the precision and cutting quality typical of semi-automatic machines combined with the convenience of a manual machine. This setup allows the operator to initiate the cutting cycle and leave the machine to complete the process autonomously, without continuous supervision. This approach not only reduces processing time but also offers labour cost savings, enhancing overall productivity. The low-profile design of the SAR 610 is engineered to ease the loading of heavy materials, making it ideal for working with large profiles and solid materials. Additionally, the built-in electronic speed variator (Inverter) allows precise blade speed adjustment according to the material being cut. This feature significantly improves cut quality by preventing overheating and keeping the blade in optimal condition for longer. The hydraulic vice, a standard feature, provides stable and secure material clamping, minimising vibrations and ensuring straight, precise cuts. The SAR 610 is also highly versatile: with the ability to make angled cuts from 0° to 60° on both the left and right sides, it can handle specific cuts for a wide range of applications, offering maximum flexibility for specialised cutting needs. The Thomas SAR 610 features a new-generation multi-functional touch screen control console, which is intuitive and easy to use. Thanks to symbol based controls, operators can efficiently manage all machine functions. This advanced system allows for full customisation of operating parameters, such as piece counter programming and the adjustment of start modes and blade
