Abstract:
A band saw machine with a lifting rod whose position is adjustable to accommodate various sized workpieces includes a movable member which is mounted on a saw frame and movable relative to a movable clamp arm. The movable member and the fixing member each have a rack, and the racks are in parallel to each other. The lifting rod includes a gear shaft engaged with the racks. When the movable clamp arm moves to accommodate the size of a workpiece, the rack of the movable member drives the gear shaft to move along the rack of the fixing member, which causes position change of the lifting rod, so that the lifting rod is automatically moved to a position where it can detect the workpiece in a reliable manner. Therefore, the size of the workpiece to be clamped is not limited by the position of the lifting rod anymore.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a bandsaw cutting apparatus including an actuator configured to move static pressure pads forward and backward in a rotating direction of a blade, and a controller configured to control a movement distance and a movement speed of the static pressure pads to be moved by the actuator, wherein the ingot is cut by feeding the blade relatively downward toward and below the ingot while a rotating blade is guided with static pressure pads, and the movement of the static pressure pads is controlled with the controller. The apparatus can stably suppress a displacement of the blade during cutting, thereby cutting the ingot into blocks or sample wafers for crystal quality evaluation stably with good quality cut surface at a higher cutting rate and extending the lifetime of the blade.
Abstract:
A guiding device for a saw band or a sawblade of a sawing machine is provided, which has at least one holder with at least one gliding part and/or at least one roll for an at least temporary gliding and/or rolling contact with the saw band or sawblade. The at least one gliding part and/or the at least one roll is provided on the holder in a movable fashion in reference to the holder, with the at least one gliding part and/or the at least one roll being movable in reference to the holder via at least one piezo-actuator, essentially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the saw band or sawblade. A sawing machine with such a guiding device is also provided.
Abstract:
A portable bandsaw mill including an elongated saw frame, a saw carriage for traversing the saw frame and a blade unit vertically adjustably mounted on the saw carriage. A bandsaw blade provided on the blade unit is operably engaged by a hydraulic blade drive motor. An engine-driven hydraulic pump pumps hydraulic fluid to the blade drive motor, which drives the bandsaw blade on the blade unit responsive to operation of an internal combustion engine mounted on the saw carriage.
Abstract:
A bandsaw machine with a base on which a workpiece table is mounted and a member pivotally mounted to the machine base. The base includes a pair of clamping jaws for the workpiece with the jaw closest to the pivotal mounting being adjustable and with the other jaw being fixed. The pivotally mounted member includes at least two reversibly driven pulleys, an endless saw band extending partially around and between the pulleys and a pair of guides for the saw band with the guide closest to the pivotal mounting being adjustable and with the other guide being fixed in the running direction of the saw band. Both guides are mounted to the pivotally mounted member so that in those instances where the plane of rotation of the reversibly driven pulleys is inclined to a feed plane defined by the pivotal movement of the pivotally mounted member, they will direct a portion of the saw band between the pulleys into the feed plane for cutting the workpiece. A control arrangement is provided for automatically and simultaneously adjusting both the adjustable clamping jaw and the adjustable guide.
Abstract:
A lifting rod assembly with a coolant supply and pressurizing device includes a pipe with an inner passage. The inner passage includes an open input end, an open output end, and an input section and an output section sequentially arranged from the open input end toward the open output end. The output section is in communication with the output end. In the inner passage is movably disposed a slider which is provided with a plurality of pressure flutes, each of the pressure flutes has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the input section, and both ends of the slider are provided with a plurality of buffers, a band saw of a band saw machine is allowed to insert in the output end of the lifting rod assembly, and the slider is abutted against the band saw.

Abstract:
A portable bank saw sawmill which includes a specially designed tubular frame with four rigid tubular posts attaching the overhead track system to the lower deck frame. Logs are placed and secured on the lower frame, the bandsaw assembly moves longitudinally of the frame by use of the overhead track, to make successive cuts with the saw. A hydraulic motor driving a sprocket and chain turns threaded rods to raise and lower the cutting assembly from the overhead track.
Abstract:
A means of automatically adjusting band saw blade guides according to the widths of the sawn material so as to minimize the unsupported length of a band saw blade combined with an improved means of removing material dust. The means of removing sawdust from the sawn material is also applicable to horizontal circular saw blades.
Abstract:
A band saw machine is provided with a fixed and movable blade guide arm which are set apart by a distance which is proportional to the width of workpiece to be cut. A detector mounted on one of the guide arms senses the lateral deviation of the saw blade during cutting and a control circuit outputs a termination signal to shut down the machine when the deviation is larger than a desired maximum value. When a workpiece of a different width is to be cut the guide arms are reset apart by a distance proportional to the width of the new workpiece and a detector is provided which senses the change of distance between the guide arms and outputs a signal to a revising circuit. The revising circuit then revises the maximum value of deviation to be allowed based on the change of distance between the guide arms.
