Horizontal metal bandsaws for steel and metal processing

Horizontal bandsaws are used in steel and metal processing for the economical sawing of steel profiles, solid material and flat material.

Horizontal metal bandsaw versions

Below you will find various main groups of horizontal metal bandsaws:

Horizontal metal band saw

The horizontal metal band saw is available as a straight cut saw or as a mitre cut saw with a mitre adjustment for bevel cuts. With the horizontal bandsaw, the saw blade runs horizontally and the miter adjustment swivels to the right or left. The swivel range for the bevel cut varies depending on the saw design. The horizontal bandsaw is used in the metal industry as a straight-cut saw, as a miter bandsaw and as an automatic bandsaw.
With the straight-cut saw, the saw blade runs horizontally without a mitre adjustment. These metal bandsaws are used when only 90° saw cuts are required and no bevel cuts.

Horizontal mitre bandsaw

With the horizontal mitre bandsaw, the saw blade runs horizontally and the bandsaw also has a mitre adjustment on one or both sides for bevel cuts (mitre cuts). This more complex machine design is the type of saw most commonly used in steel construction companies.

Automatic band saw

In an automatic bandsaw, the cut is made automatically and the bandsaw is equipped with an automatic feed system. The automatic material feed grips the material and cuts it to the size previously programmed in the control system. This material feed takes place either with a gripper measuring carriage, a roller measuring system or with a feed gripper. The automatic band saw therefore has the higher degree of automation. This type of saw can be designed as a straight cut saw or as a mitre band saw.

Nenok has been one of the leading international specialists for reliable used horizontal metal band saws and automatic band saws since 1996. If you are looking for a reliable and powerful used horizontal bandsaw for metalworking, then check our website regularly or give us a call to find out about the latest new arrivals.

Horizontal bandsaw manufacturers

The following companies are renowned and reliable manufacturers of horizontal bandsaws:

• Amada
• Behringer
• Carif sawing machines
• Ficep
• Kaltenbach
• Kasto
• Meba
• Mep
• Sabi
• Voortman

In addition to a stable saw frame construction, precise mitre adjustment, optimum saw blade guidance and a robust saw drive, the efficiency of a horizontal bandsaw is heavily dependent on the use of good saw blades and suitable cooling lubricant.
For sawing with a horizontal band saw, we recommend the high-performance bi-metal band saw blades from Arntz or Röntgen from Remscheid. The bi-alfa band saw blades from Arntz or Röntgen achieve a long service life combined with high cutting performance. You can purchase Arntz and Röntgen band saw blades from Nenok at any time and at a reasonable price.

Horizontal band saws for sawing sectional steel

As steel profiles usually have to be sawn as well as drilled and milled in steel construction, plant engineering and the steel trade, saw-drill systems are often used as a sawing and drilling combination. In this case, a horizontal bandsaw is combined with a drilling system that has a common CNC control and a common length measuring system. The advantage of a drilling saw system with a horizontal bandsaw is the smaller space requirement and the reduction in personnel due to only one machine operator. The disadvantage is that there is usually only one machine in use and either drilling, routing or sawing can be carried out. However, for some time now there have been high-performance drilling saw systems in which the drilling axes can also move separately in the X-axis, so that drilling is also possible while sawing in a certain area at the same time.
