The IMET XSMART 4 is an automatic double column bandsaw for straight cuts, developed by IMET engineers as a highly reliable professional tool for workshops and steel warehouses. It is designed to cut solids and large profiles up to 360 mm (14.17 in) diameter with maximum efficiency. Equipped with a powerful 4 kW motoreducer, a 41 mm blade height, and a 7″ touch screen display, it offers the perfect balance of productivity, ease of use, and affordability.

General

HIGH-EFFICIENCY COLUMN DESIGN

The XSMART 4 platform is built for maximum stability and constant performance on heavy workpieces.

  • Rigid Double Column Structure: The sawframe features a rigid electrowelded one-piece structure placed on two columns to eliminate vibration and binding during the descent.
  • 30° Canted Blade: The blade is canted at a 30° angle to reduce band strain and ensure a more constant sawframe descent, optimizing tool life and cutting performance across various materials.
  • Integrated Portal Feeder: The feeder features a 500 mm (19.68 in) single stroke and moves on a recirculating screw with an inverter-managed electric motor. Its portal structure facilitates easy material loading from the back side of the machine.

Features

  • 7" Touch Screen HMI: An intuitive interface that gives the operator full control over manual movements and program settings. It allows for the creation of up to 99 cutting programs, each with up to 30 lines, supporting different lengths on the same bar.
  • Innovative Jaw Configuration: The machine features a flexible vice system where the user can choose between two configurations:
    • 4 Jaws (Standard): Two lock the material before the blade and two after, providing maximum stability—highly recommended for hard metal (WIDIA) blades. Minimum remnant: 100 mm (3.93 in).
    • 2 Jaws (Reduced Scrap): Jaws are placed only after the blade, reducing the final remnant to just 40 mm (1.57 in).
  • Precision Blade Alignment: Hard metal guide pads and bearings ensure optimal blade alignment, while the mobile blade guide is automatically kept close to the cutting area.
  • User Safety System: All moving parts are fully protected by a metal carter system, and the loading/unloading tunnels prevent access to the cutting area during operation. Access for maintenance is provided via large frontal, lateral, and back doors when in stand-by.
  • Integrated Waste Removal: A motorized chip conveyor is standard, evacuating residuals through a lateral exit to keep the workspace clean.
