H-230A HORIZONTAL BAND SAW

The H-230A has the smallest footprint of HYDMECH’s automatic horizontal band saws.

Its split front vise for material clamping results in less burr on cut pieces. The machines controller can be easily programmed, storing up to 10 different cutting jobs with 5 in queue and features several different cutting modes.

Equipped with a shuttle feed, its shuttle vise assembly is capable of high speed material indexing up to 19” in a single stroke. Driven by a stepper motor controlled by a ball screw assembly, the H-230A provides quick, accurate cuts.

Featuring a 9″H x 9″W capacity, 3 HP motor, and 1″ blade, the H-230A is a reliable choice for your horizontal cutting applications.

Split Front Vise

The H-230A’s split front vise design allows for a short 2.5″ remnant length for less wasted material.

Electronic Dual Down Feed

Electronic DDF feed controlled by amperage draw chip load. Head feeding will automatically adjust based on relative chip load. Very responsive closed loop system will give better cutting and longer tool life.

Touch Screen Control

Windows touch screen control very intuitive and easy to program. Most programming is done on a single page. Most machine operation function keys are outside of the touch screen area so the operator only has to use the touch screen while programming a job.

Automatic Multi-indexing

Its shuttle vise assembly is capable of high-speed material indexing up to 19” in a single stroke. Driven by a stepper motor controlled by a ball screw assembly, the H-230A provides quick, accurate cuts.
