The IMET CUBO 350 NC BOX is a medium duty Enclosed Automatic Bandsaw engineered for high-precision, large-scale batch production. As a 350-class CNC machine, it offers a significant increase in capability, handling workpieces up to 12.01 in (305 mm) round. The “BOX” configuration utilizes a rigid four-sided protective metal enclosure to ensure maximum operator safety during high-speed automatic cycles while processing tubes, profiles, and solids.

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 designed to isolate the cutting zone and all moving mechanical components, preventing any accidental contact during the automatic feeding and sawing process.
  • Full Maintenance Access: Despite the full enclosure, the protective panels are designed for quick and easy opening, providing total access for blade replacements and routine maintenance.

Features

  • Touch Screen Interface: Equipped with a 7" touch screen display for intuitive programming. Operators can store up to 99 different cutting jobs, managing multiple lengths and quantities on the same bar.
  • Vertical Linear Descent: The saw head travels on precision-ground linear guides driven by a hydraulic system, ensuring a perfectly stable and parallel feed for maximum cutting perpendicularity.
  • Integrated Automatic Feeder: Standard equipment includes a material feeder driven by a recirculating ballscrew and self-braking electric motor, delivering high-precision positioning for repetitive production.
  • 4° Canted Blade Geometry: The blade is inclined at a 4° angle relative to the material. This improves penetration into rectangular sections and structural beams, reducing cycle times and tooth wear.
  • High Blade Tension: Maintains a constant tension of 28,445 PSI (2000 kg/cm2), which is essential for ensuring straightness and accuracy in large cross-sections.
  • Automatic Material Detection: Features a mechanical sensor that automatically detects the material height, allowing for a rapid head approach and immediate start-cut point detection.
