The Karmetal KSA-D 1300×1600 is a heavy-duty semi-automatic double column bandsaw engineered for processing massive industrial workpieces and large-scale structural steel. Featuring a robust dual-column architecture, it provides a stable cutting platform for materials up to 51.18 in×62.99 in (1300×1600 mm). The machine is driven by an 14.7 HP(11 kW) main motor and utilizes a digital control panel for precise management of the cutting cycle. Designed for straight cutting without mitering, it represents a high-capacity solution for steel service centers and heavy industrial manufacturing.

General

LARGE-SCALE STABILITY & CONTROL

The KSA-D 1300x1600 is defined by its structural integrity and controlled descent for massive sections.

  • Double Column Architecture: The saw frame travels vertically on a rigid dual-column system, ensuring perfectly perpendicular cuts and minimizing vibration during heavy-duty operations.
  • Digital Control Interface: Features a user-friendly digital control panel that manages the cutting parameters, with a movable console allowing the operator to maintain a safe and optimal viewing distance.
  • Dual Powered Vise System: Utilizes two synchronized movable vises to precisely index heavy material and automatically separate the cut piece from the stock upon completion. This eliminates blade-to-material contact during the head return, significantly extending tool life.
  • Variable Frequency Drive: Equipped with an inverter as standard, enabling variable blade speed control between 65–262 ft/min (20–80 m/min) to suit different steel grades and alloy densities.
  • Hydraulic Precision: Features comprehensive hydraulic systems for blade tensioning, clamping, and frame movement, ensuring consistent pressure throughout the cycle.

Features

  • Powered Dual Vise System: Includes a hydraulic double vise system with forward and backward movement capability to index heavy material easily, as well as preventing blade contact when retracting after the cut by automatically separating cut piece from the stock.
  • Adjustable Body Motion: The movement speed of the saw frame is fully adjustable, supported by a back pressure valve for fine-tuned penetration into dense solids.
  • Integrated Swarf Management: Equipped with an automatic chip conveyor and a motorized swarf brush to ensure the workspace remains clear of heavy debris.
  • Premium Cooling System: Features a high-quality S.A.P. (Italy) brand coolant pump to maintain thermal stability during long-duration cuts in large sections.
  • Comprehensive Safety Suite: The machine includes automatic stop protocols for cover openings, blade breakage, pressure loss, or blade jamming to protect the operator and the tool.
