As a comprehensive supplier of machines and saw blades the thin-cutting specialist Wintersteiger AG is introducing an innovation to the market in both areas. At the LIGNA in Hannover, Germany, the special-purpose machine builder from Austria presented the new DSB Compact 310 thin-cutting band saw and the Banso X-Cut band-saw blade.
As the world’s leading trade fair for the forestry and wood industries, the LIGNA is the perfect stage for both products that are being presented there for the first time worldwide.
The entry-level model for precision thin cutting of wood.
Wintersteiger is opening up new possibilities with the DSB Compact 310 single-module thin-cutting band saw! The machine was developed as an entry-level model for the precise thin-cutting of wood. Adapted exactly to customer requirements, it cuts wooden blocks with a width up to 310 mm and with a kerf starting at 1.1 mm – with an excellent price/performance ratio.
The new thin-cutting band saw brings many innovations. A newly-developed conveyor belt feed system which is built on a solid-cast substructure transports wooden blocks at speeds between 1 and 16 m/min., depending on the type of wood and block preparation. At those speeds, the machine achieves a cutting precision of +/- 0.2 mm. In addition, the automatic, continuous cleaning of the conveyor belt ensures a clean transportation surface and thus precision for both dry and wet cutting.
The smooth saw blade entry is also a new development: upon entry into the wood, the speed is reduced and subsequently raised back up again. This is smooth on the saw blade. As on all Wintersteiger thin-cutting band saws, a high-tech carbon pressure guide system ensures exact blade guidance. The machine is ergonomic and easy to maintain – the extra housing around the saw unit inside the machine reduces cleaning effort.
Additionally, customers can choose from a variety of optional features. The innovative spraying system for wet cutting cools and lubricates the saw blade, resulting in a longer service life. Also new is the ability to spray with water, which can be used besides wood-compatible spraying agents for certain types of wet wood. Roller-table extensions for the in-feed and out-feed ensure a sturdy block support. The construction of the DSB Compact 310 thin-cutting band saw makes it possible to easily position multiple machines in-line. The customer remains flexible: when demand rises, the capacity can also be raised with additional machines added in-line.
