Band saw machines: high performance in nesting cut

ISTech Segatrici specialises in band cutting, and builds band saw machines on double columns, equipped with the state-of-the-art technical solutions. Apart from standard machines, which include numeric control and semi-automatic models with cutting capacity between 260 and 1,020mm, ISTech produces automatic cutting systems and customised machines for every special need. For nesting cut, the company offers a wide variety of solutions, with different types of nesting fixtures. The customer can choose the best solutions according to the shape and dimensions of the material and of the bundle. Some of the nesting fixtures produced by ISTech need no adjustment, while others require some manual adjustment; this second type of bundle vices ensures a minimum butt end. ISTech nesting fixtures are made up of one fixed vice mounted on the machine frame and one movable vice mounted on the material feeder. These two vices, working together, ensure perfect clamping

of the bundle and eliminate any possible vibration that can reduce the life of the blade. Special plastic components are mounted on the vice clamping face to better keep together the bundle and to absorb any residual vibration. All ISTech nesting fixtures are hydraulically operated and leave the maximum cutting capacity of the machine. The standard equipment of ISTech machines includes variable band speed with inverter; recirculating ball screw; automatic guide arm with zero clearance carbide insert; hydraulic band tensioning; head fast approach on material to be cut; power driven band
