New range of four band saws for cutting pipes and fittings at different angles

RITMO SpA, Italy, is offering a new range of band saws for cutting plastic pipes and fittings. SIGMA is RITMO’s new line of band saws for plastic sheets and pipes and offers four easy to use models. The SIGMA 1600 PRO band saw is capable of cutting pipes up to OD 1,600mm and features a blade housing arm (bell type) that

moves at an adjustable speed and moves sideways on a rail, performing a wide range of cutting angles. The company claims the SIGMA 1600 PRO’s blade guide telescopic system offers a very high level of precision when cutting, eliminating problems with blade flexion and vibration. Special focus was given to safety and from inside the luminous pilot cabin the operator can easily control all stages by using the intuitive control panel.

The SIGMA 1600 PRO cutting range goes from -45° to +67.5° and segmented pipes to produce special fittings are well within its capabilities. It also has an auxiliary bench for the pipe, including sliding rollers and an anchor system. RITMO – Italy Fax : +39 049 9901993 Email : info@ritmo.it Website : www.ritmo.it
