62 Cutting Edge
COVER: FlyingBandSawTechnology Revolutionary new system to guide the sawblade of a bandsaw
EWD’s FlyingBandSaw Technology increases the operating life of sawblades, facilitates much greater sawing accuracy and promotes higher feed speeds. This development optimises the capabilities of bandsaw lines so they can meet the expectations of modern profiling and circular sawlines by delivering a thin saw kerf irrespective of the sawing heights.
Instead of the commonly used pressure saw guides, two pairs of magnets and a sophisticated control system take care of the centring and true-running of the sawblade. The system operates with absolute reliability in the tough sawmill environment, under all climatic conditions.
