GENERAL

The Mecal “SW 453 Plug” is a back stroke double head saw ideal for applications such as residential or commercial windows, storefronts, railings as well as industrial aluminum profile cutting. The saw can cut straight or mitre both on vinyl or aluminum extrusions.

The saw features a motorized right head positioning, while the left cutting unit is stationary. Blade feed direction is from back to forward. The blades tilt automatically at any angle between 22.5° outwards to 90° by means of pneumatic cylinders even if the adjustment of the tilting angles must be done manually moving a mechanical reference stop .

The “SW 453 Plug” is equipped with horizontal and vertical pneumatic clamps, safety guards and spray mist tool lubrication. Possibility to use both 450mm (17¾”)and 500mm (19.7″) saw blades.

Machine is 4m useful cutting length with double head simultaneously, nevertheless with a special function, it is possible to cut oversize lengths up to approximately twice the maximum cut length.

OPERATION

To perform the cut, the operator must hold simultaneously two pushbuttons with both hands. As soon as the cut is performed and one button is released, the blades retract in their housing. Hydro-pneumatic cylinders ensures the precise index of the blades.

SAFETIES

The Mecal “SW 453 Plug” double head saw is provided with two lifting covers (one each cutting head) as part of the standard safety features to provide full protection to the operator.
