The Karmetal OSA 350×450 is a robust automatic horizontal bandsaw designed for high-efficiency straight cutting of solid bars, tubes, and profiles. Engineered for industrial reliability, it features a high-efficiency bevel helical gearbox and a powerful 5.36 HP (4 kW) main motor. To accommodate various operational needs, the machine is offered in three versions: a standard Automatic model, an economical ENC version with a membrane interface, and a high-performance PLC version with a touchscreen HMI. All models utilize a pivot-type motion and roller material feeding to deliver consistent, accurate cuts in heavy-duty production environments.

General

MULTI-TIER CONTROL AUTOMATION

The OSA 350x450 series provides tailored automation through two specific control levels:

  • PLC Touchscreen Version: Features a touchscreen interface that allows for the creation and storage of complex work lists. This version offers the highest level of programming flexibility for varied production runs.
  • ENC Version: An economical digital solution utilizing a membrane push-button HMI. It is optimized for high-speed repetitive cutting of single dimensions where simplicity and durability are prioritized.

Features

  • High-Efficiency Drive Train: All models are equipped with a bevel helical gearbox that ensures maximum torque transmission from the motor to the blade, maintaining stable speeds under heavy loads.
  • Hydraulic Precision: The machine utilizes an integrated hydraulic system to manage vise clamping and saw frame descent, ensuring optimal cutting pressure for different material cross-sections.
  • Roller Feeder System: All models utilize a synchronized roller feeding mechanism to move material accurately through the cutting zone, reducing manual handling time. Variable Blade Speed: Managed via an inverter, allowing operators to adjust the speed between 82–295 ft/min (25–90 m/min) to match material hardness.
  • Automatic Chip Removal: A standard pallet-type chip conveyor is integrated into the base for continuous evacuation of metal waste.
  • Adjustable Vise Clamping: Hydraulic vises feature independent pressure adjustment to securely hold materials without damaging thin-walled sections.
  • Blade Guidance System: Utilizes a bedding system with two bearings and carbide plates to ensure the blade remains perpendicular and stable throughout the cut.
  • Integrated Safety Suite: Standard safety features include cover switches, blade tension sensors, and limit switches that trigger an automatic stop if any faults are detected.
  • Rapid Approach System: Automatically transitions the saw frame from rapid descent to the set cutting feed upon sensing material height to minimize cycle times.
