KARMETAL WOS 500x550 - automatic double column bandsaw for professional bundle cutting

General

PRECISION BUNDLE AUTOMATION

The WOS 500x550 combines mechanical rigidity with advanced PLC programming for high-volume output.

8.4” HMI Touch Control: A user-friendly interface supporting 11 languages. It allows operators to program up to 20 different cutting dimensions and store 50 unique job lists, facilitating rapid setup for recurring production batches.
Dual Hydraulic Top Clamping: Specifically engineered for bundle cutting, these standard vertical clamps secure multiple workpieces from above, preventing material rotation and vibration for a cleaner cut and longer blade life.
Servo-Driven Feeding System: High-torque servo motors paired with a PLC system manage material indexing with sub-millimeter accuracy, automatically handling multi-stroke feeding for workpieces longer than the single stroke limit.
Linear Guide Architecture: The saw bow travels vertically on precision-ground linear guides. This reduces friction and eliminates the "play" found in traditional slide systems, providing a perfectly smooth descent during heavy-duty cutting.
Bevel Helical Gearbox: Equipped with a high-efficiency drive system that ensures maximum torque transmission from the 7.3 HP (5.5 kW) motor, maintaining consistent blade speeds even under high loads.

Double Vise System: Features both front and rear hydraulic vises to maintain absolute control of the material on both sides of the blade throughout the entire cutting process.
Adjustable Vise Pressure: Hydraulic clamping pressure can be independently regulated to protect thin-walled profiles or delicate materials from deformation.
Integrated Chip Management: A standard pallet-type automatic chip conveyor and a motorized blade cleaning brush ensure continuous operation by effectively removing hot metal debris.
Comprehensive Safety Suite: The machine includes an automatic stop system triggered by blade breakage, pressure drops, blade jamming, or the opening of safety covers.
Variable Blade Speed: Managed via an inverter, allowing the operator to adjust the speed between 72–328 ft/min to suit different steel grades and alloys.
