Servo-driven circular cold saw BEHRINGER Saws, Inc, a manufacturer of bandsaw, circular and plate sawing solutions, has added the VA-L 500 to its line of high performance circular cold saws. Behringer Eisele GmbH designed the VA-L 500 sawing system specifically for production cutting of aluminium and non-ferrous materials. speeds, the VA-L 500 can efficiently saw the full range of aluminium alloys and other non-ferrous materials in solids, thin-walled pipe and profiles. The VA-L 500 saw comes as standard with a 32 HP, frequency-controlled drive motor with 800-3,400rpm speed range, and a servo-driven downfeed with an adjustable rate from 0.39" to 19.6"/ sec, to ensure fast cut times.

Behringer’s VA-L 500 sawing system

automatic circular cold saw has a cutting range of 152mm (6") for round materials or 152 x 152mm (6" x 6") for square materials at 90° using a carbide-tipped circular saw blade with a diameter of 500mm (19.6"). “Our VA-L series features a heavy- duty design, state-of-the-art drive tech- nology used in the feed axis and main drive system, and an extremely rigid, ultra-precise saw spindle bearing,” com- mented Joe Suydam, inside sales and marketing manager at Behringer Saws. “The result is an optimised, low-vibration cutting process that provides maximum cutting output and excellent surface finish quality in both solid materials as well as in pipe and profiles with sophisticated cross-sectional geometry.” An automatic blade/material separa- tion feature guarantees a free return of the saw blade, reducing blade damage and resulting in high-quality material finishes. An NC-controlled gripper feed unit, driven by a servomotor, ball screw spindle and encoder with a single stroke capacity of 39.3", ensures quick and precise movement of material. A lift-and-shift device for material feed – a standard feature of the VA-L 500 saw – ensures the material is lifted slightly over the material support table, enabling the material to be ‘freely’ fed without touching the material table and clamping jaws, and eliminating damage to the surface of the material. To reduce build-up of chips and scratching of material, a blowing device rapidly removes chips from the clamping area, providing a clean material clamping surface area and unobstructed material flow for increased service life. Also standard on the VA-L 500 is a material disposal/discharge unit featuring a support plate and a sorting chute that moves trim/remnants and parts into two separate areas.
