Another Metal Sawing Sensation
11th September 2012

57 years on, Addison Saws are still delivering innovative and cutting edge, metal cutting bandsaw solutions with the introduction of their Imet ‘Xtech Range’ of bandsaws.   Offering four new models in the range and a top capacity of 1,200mm, these high production, double column bandsaws are an ideal choice for the aforementioned industries, particularly the smaller ‘16” ‘Xtech 410’ model, along with its bigger brother the ‘25” Xtech 630’.

‘Xtech Bandsaws’ embrace the latest metals cutting technology.   Technology that has not only increased cutting feeds and speeds, but also reduced operational vibration, enabling them to deliver much higher productivity levels with an extended blade life.

With their pre-programmed ‘Automatic – Cutting Parameters’ all set in a simple to operate control panel, which stores over 60 different material specs, including both cutting and blade speeds, the new Xtech range is designed to deliver easy and fault free metal sawing.   These benefits are further enhanced through their ‘Variable Feed Rate’ and ‘Variable Blade Speed’ systems, which dramatically reduce metal cutting times.   Here standard saw blade cutting times can be reduced by up to 30%, where with TCT saws blades, cutting times can be reduced by over 60%, all greatly improving blade life.

Finally, the new Xtech range incorporates double bearings on both the driven and idle blade wheels, thereby aiding stability, evening out  blade power and enabling higher band tensioning, which collectively increases both cut rates and blade life.
Front and back blade vice supports which separate on saw head returns, give true clearance for high production TCT, a unique design advantage in the continuing advancement of saw blade technology through Addison Saws.
