H-18A-120

The H-18A-120 is an automatic horizontal long bar feed band saw providing accurate 90° metal cutting for medium to heavy-duty applications. The H-18A-120 cuts fast, with its high-speed shuttle feed indexing up to 120″ in a single movement. Its standard split front vise delivers a short material remnant length, reducing material waste. Featuring a 120″ bar feed, 18″ x 18″ capacity, 10 HP motor, and 1 1/2″ blade, the H-18A-120 is a reliable choice for all your horizontal metal cutting applications. STANDARD FEATURES Spilt front vise 3 m bar feed Full capacity hydraulic overhead bundling Shuttle features automatic multi-indexing up to 3 m in a single stroke with automatic kerf compensation Powered by a rack and pinion servo drive Steel Guide arms The idler side guide arm is mechanically connected to the front vise moveable jaw for proper guide arm spacing at all times 7.5 KW VFD True direct blade drive – no belts/pulleys Full capacity, full stroking hydraulic vises Hydraulic positive down feed High resolution feed rate valve allows for constant feed rate when cutting special alloys Blade chamber separates material from cut part Cast iron band wheels Automatic PLC control programmable up to 999 jobs with 10 in queue Replaceable blade brush Robust steel base Automatic chip removal auger Easy access electrical panel and hydraulics Blade breakage switch Hydraulic band tensioning with digital readout Hydraulic carbide guide tensioning Hardened, replaceable wear plates Safety door interlocks Flood coolant with wash down hose Work light Variable vise pressure Out of stock switch OPTIONAL FEATURES Blade deviation monitor Mist lubrication Vertical alignment rollers Pedestal Control Roller discharge table Idler conveyors and accessories Powered conveyors and accessories Power transformer 10′ Bar Feed 10’ bar feed with servo drive is faster than a hydraulic cylinder. It’s much faster for processing longer pieces, lowering cycle times. H-18A-120 Full Height Full Clamping Vises Full Height, Full Stroking Vises Full height full stroking vises, allows you to operate the vises faster and hold large pieces better. Full height vises allow you to hold large objects more efficiently, like I-beams. Full stroking vises mean you don’t have to manually change the position of the vise operator. H-18A-120 Hydraulic Clamping Guides Split Front Vises Split front vises reduce burrs and allow for holding thin pieces close to the blade on both sides. The blade passes through the vise and the vise holds the workpiece on both sides at the same time, also reduces burrs and allows you to split short pieces that you could not do with a standard vise. S-20 Horizontal Pivot Band Saw Angle Measurement Hydraulic Clamping Guides The machine controls the clamping of the guides not the operator. Since the pressure is set by the machine and not the operator, it is more consistent resulting in less errors.
