Behringer Saws, Inc. (Morgantown, PA), a manufacturer of high-quality bandsaw, circular and plate sawing solutions, has announced it recently shipped two semi-automatic bandsaws to Ellwood Specialty Steel (ESS; New Castle, PA), a steel producer for the tool, mold and die industry, which took delivery of an HBP-800 and an HBP-1500/1800 for cutting large forged steel parts at the Ellwood facility.
Behringer installed the saws this past March. “Adding these saws to our production line significantly increased our capacity to process large forgings. We are very impressed with the quality, rigidity, and performance of these saws,” commented Gary DeBlasio, the operations manager at ESS.
The HBP-800 features a rigid box type machine base with dual columns and a solid cast bow frame. It has fully automated hydraulic blade tensioning and automatic saw frame height positioning, with a cutting capacity of up to 31.5 in x 31.5 in. The HBP-1500/1800 is a larger dual column saw with auto feed control and ball screws for downfeed stability, with an ability to cut with bi-metal or carbide tipped saw blades. It features a traversable saw frame with a cutting capacity up to 59.0 in x 70.1 in.
