The IMET CUBO 400 NC BOX is the flagship Enclosed Auto-Feeding Band Saw in the CUBO lineup, specifically engineered for high-capacity industrial production and heavy structural cutting. As a specialized 400-class CNC machine, it utilizes a heavy-duty 1.34 in (34 mm) blade to maintain maximum stability and precision when processing workpieces up to 12.2 in (310 mm) round. The “BOX” configuration features a rigid, four-sided protective metal enclosure to ensure the highest levels of operator safety during high-volume automatic cycles.

General

THE ENCLOSED ADVANTAGE

The "BOX" designation signifies that the saw frame and all moving parts are housed within a rigid, four-sided protective sheet metal enclosure.

  • Maximum Operator Safety: This four-sided enclosure is strictly engineered to isolate the cutting zone and all moving mechanical parts, preventing any accidental contact while the machine executes its high-speed automatic programs.
  • Full Maintenance Access: To ensure minimal downtime, the protective panels are designed for easy opening, allowing technicians total access for blade changes and routine maintenance tasks.

Features

  • 7" Touch Screen: Features an advanced control interface for intuitive programming of the cutting cycle. Operators can store up to 99 different cutting programs, managing multiple lengths and quantities on the same bar with automatic kerf compensation.
  • Upgraded Blade Stability: Utilizes a wider 1.34 in (34 mm) blade, providing increased beam strength and reducing deflection when cutting large rectangular profiles or high-resistance solids.
  • Linear Vertical Descent: The saw head travels vertically on precision-ground linear guides, ensuring perfectly parallel movement and the highest level of perpendicularity throughout the entire stroke.
  • Precision Auto-Feeding System: Standard equipment includes an integrated material feeder driven by a recirculating ballscrew and self-braking electric motor, ensuring precision positioning and repeatability for batch production.
  • Blade Inclination Geometry: The saw blade is canted to facilitate easier entry into structural beams and rectangular profiles, which effectively reduces cycle times and extends blade life.
  • Automatic Height Detection: Equipped with a mechanical sensor that automatically detects the material height for rapid head approach, switching to the set cutting feed rate exactly at the start-cut point.
