Hillary Machinery supplies COSEN vertical band saws for precision cutting of metal stock, plates, blocks and fabricated components. Vertical band saw configurations provide flexible cutting capability for straight cuts, angle cuts, contour cutting and irregular workpieces, with manual and automated solutions available for a wide range of industrial sawing applications.
Vertical band saws use a continuous metal-cutting blade operating in a vertical orientation to cut plate, blocks, structural material and other metal workpieces.
Hillary Machinery offers COSEN vertical band saws for manufacturers, fabricators, machine shops and material processors requiring accurate and productive metal-cutting capability.
A vertical band saw positions the cutting blade vertically while the workpiece or saw frame is positioned to produce the required cut. Depending on machine configuration, vertical band saws can perform straight cuts, angled cuts, contour cuts and other specialized sawing operations.
This configuration can provide significant flexibility when cutting large, irregular or difficult-to-position workpieces.
Hillary Machinery offers COSEN vertical band saws across multiple machine configurations for industrial metal-cutting applications.
Current COSEN vertical band saw models available through Hillary Machinery include:
A vertical tilt-frame band saw allows the saw frame to tilt relative to the workpiece. This provides the ability to produce straight and angled cuts without requiring the operator to reposition a large or difficult workpiece for every cutting angle.
Tilt-frame capability can be particularly useful for fabrication and production applications involving large plates, blocks, weldments or other workpieces that are easier to keep stationary during cutting.
Vertical band saws can provide flexibility when a manufacturing process requires both conventional straight cuts and angled cuts.
The appropriate machine should be selected around the required cutting angle, workpiece dimensions, material and production requirements.
Certain vertical band saw configurations can be used for contour cutting and irregular profiles that would be difficult or inefficient to produce on a conventional horizontal saw.
Actual contour-cutting capability depends on machine design, blade selection, workpiece geometry and the required cutting radius.
A horizontal band saw typically lowers a horizontally oriented blade through bar, tube, pipe, structural material or other stock. Horizontal saws are commonly used for cutoff operations and production sawing.
A vertical band saw can provide greater flexibility for plates, blocks, irregular workpieces, angled cuts and certain contour-cutting applications.
Both vertical and miter band saws can be used for angled metal cutting, but the best configuration depends on the workpiece and production requirement.
Conventional miter band saws are particularly useful for angle cutting of bar, tube, pipe and structural sections. Vertical tilt-frame saws can provide additional flexibility when the workpiece is large, irregular or better kept stationary during the cutting process.
Industrial vertical band saws can be used for a range of metal-cutting applications, including:
Vertical band saws can process a variety of metals when the blade, blade speed, feed rate and machine are properly matched to the application.
Common applications include cutting carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, aluminum and other machinable metals.
Harder and more difficult-to-machine materials may require specialized blade construction, tooth geometry and cutting parameters.
Automated and NC-controlled vertical band saws can reduce manual intervention and improve repeatability for production cutting applications.
Depending on machine configuration, automation can assist with positioning, cutting cycles and other operations to improve productivity and consistency.
Selecting the correct vertical band saw should begin with the workpiece, material and required cut. Hillary Machinery can help evaluate:
Selecting the correct band saw blade is critical to cutting performance, blade life and finished-cut quality.
Blade width, thickness, tooth pitch, tooth geometry and blade material should be selected around the workpiece dimensions, material and type of cut being performed.
Contour cutting may require a narrower blade than straight cutoff work because the blade must be capable of following the required cutting radius.
Industrial vertical band saws are used to cut metal plate, blocks and other workpieces and can provide straight, angled and contour-cutting capability depending on machine configuration.
A vertical tilt-frame band saw allows the saw frame to tilt to produce angled cuts while the workpiece remains in position.
Yes. Vertical tilt-frame machines can produce angled cuts within the capabilities of the particular saw.
Certain vertical band saw configurations can perform contour cutting. The minimum practical cutting radius depends on factors including blade width, workpiece material and machine configuration.
Horizontal band saws are commonly optimized for cutoff operations on bar, tube, pipe and structural material. Vertical band saws can provide greater flexibility for plate, blocks, irregular workpieces, angled cuts and certain contour-cutting applications.
Start with the maximum workpiece dimensions, material, required cutting angles, contour requirements and production volume. These requirements determine the necessary machine capacity, blade configuration and level of automation.
Hillary Machinery can help evaluate your workpiece dimensions, material, cutting angles, contour requirements and production volume to identify the appropriate COSEN vertical band saw.
