The IMET XSMART 3 is an automatic double column bandsaw for medium solids designed as a reliable tool for mechanical workshops and small-to-medium enterprises. It features a rigid, one-piece vertical structure and an integrated CNC system managed by an intuitive 7″ touch screen. Engineered for straight cuts, it provides a compact but high-performance solution for professionals processing medium-sized solids, tubes, and profiles up to 310 mm (12.20 in).

General

COMPACT RIGIDITY

The XSMART 3 utilizes a specialized double-column architecture to maximize stability within a smaller footprint.

  • 30° Inclined Sawframe: The sawframe slides on recirculating ballscrews with linear guides and features a 30°inclination. This design allows the machine to remain compact while maintaining the strength and stability required to reduce vibrations and binding.
  • Portal Feeder Structure: The integrated feeder uses a recirculating ballscrew and an inverter-managed electric motor. It is mounted on a floating plate to accommodate material that is not perfectly straight, ensuring precise indexing for every cut.
  • Safety & Accessibility: The machine is fully protected by a safety carter system to provide maximum operator security without hindering access for routine maintenance.

Features

  • 7" Touch Screen HMI: A mobile, user-friendly interface that allows for the creation of up to 99 cutting programs with 30 lines each. It provides full CNC control over all machine operations and settings.
  • Fork-Style Hydraulic Vices: The machine is equipped with two hydraulic full-stroke vices that block the material both before and after the blade, ensuring maximum stability during the cutting cycle.
  • High-Reliability Components: Utilizes a Bonfiglioli motor-reducer for consistent functionality and hard metal blade guides with bearings for optimal alignment.
  • Automatic Blade Management: The mobile blade guide is automatically kept next to the cutting point, while a mechanical nylon cleaning brush removes residuals from the blade during operation.
  • Integrated Waste Management: Includes a standard chip conveyor and a washing gun to maintain a clean working environment and high operational efficiency.
  • Precision Downfeed: The sawframe movement is driven by a hydraulic piston and recirculating ballscrews for smooth, accurate descent.
