need for the protective hood that can be an inconvenience for this type of sawing assignment. Both in thesemi- and the fullyautomatic version, the basic machine comprises a hard-wearing machine frame in which the basic and swivel plate with the saw are embedded as the central unit. The sawing unit comprises a high-powered motor and a hydraulic feed cylinder, as well as a worm-parallel helical gear pair with rotation compensation. The swivel range from left to right is wide, particularly in the semi-automatic version, at 30°-45°-90° and 45°-30°-0°. The fully automatic PSU 450 CNC2 is equipped with a convenient CNC control system. In addition, a material feed axis, a swivel axis for mitre cuts and a waste disposal unit for optimum process reliability are integrated into the basic machine. The new interactive graphic IPC control system permits programming not only in the workshop but also in the form of online data transmission from a PC office workstation. The various jobs and their respective terms of reference are simply and conveniently programmed on screen. The large swivel range permits acute angles of as low as ±30° to be cut. The program-controlled discharge gripper of the PSU opens up scope for the free selection of cuts, with the gripper travelling automatically out of the potential collision area of the saw. Material feed is performed by a CNC- controlled feed gripper mounted on a durable backlash-free pre-tensioned linear guide. Material tensioning takes place vertically by means of a tensioning cylinder that adjusts automatically to

WITH its heavy-duty PSU 450 series, Behringer Eisele presents a modular- design high-performance circular saw that adapts to the sawing job. The PSU is available in a semi- automatic version, the PSU450-H, and as the fully automatic PSU 450 VE or PSU450 CNC2. For sawblade diameters up to 470mm and a wide cutting range of up to 160mm for round material and 240 x 85 for slabs, the machine provides the solution to a wide range of different sawing requirements. The clamping units, with fast adjustment and quick- change facility, are beneficial particularly where different sawing conditions have to be taken into account. Also on offer for both the PSU models is a version for sawing aluminium. A high- powered drive system of 6.5/8kW and a speed of 1,250/2,500 rpm respectively ensure powerful and fast material machining. The PSU 450 can also be connected to an extraction system – a necessary option when working with aluminium. Due to its universal applicability, the wide speed range of 6-48 or 12-96 rpm makes the PSU series suited to working with pipes and square hollow profiles. In addition, in the semi-automatic PSU 450-H the cutting range for square material can be further extended using the adjustable transverse material stop to as much as 400 x 30mm (when making 90° cuts). For curved pipes or hydroforming products, Behringer Eisele offers the PSU 450 GS. With the aid of a fixture, this model is capable of trimming curved pipes. The two-hand control system provided as standard eliminates the

the profile size, and horizontally by the tensioning device of the feed and discharge gripper. All tensioning pressure levels can be individually adjusted. Protective machine enclosures are designed for simple handling and to offer the operator a comprehensive view of the functional areas of the saw during operation. The modular-structure sawing system, featuring different types of magazine and sorting systems, permits individual customer needs to be addressed.
