SHARK bandsaws range gets bigger: Shark 640 CNC hs 4.0!

CNC machine with a new controller: MEP 40. It has been specifically designed by MEP for the automation of its range of products.

This sawing machine also features a semiautomatic cutting cycle and uses latest generation technologies; indeed is equipped with a NEW controller with processor RISC 32 bit 200 MHz with integrated interface to:

- Install a GSM card (OPTIONAL) to send an SMS to the programmed number notifying the type of emergency occurred while the machine was operating unattended.

- Connect to an Ethernet network for the remote assistance service.

- Get software updates and changes by e-mail, that are transferred to USB port by SD or MMC card and later on the control memory, through the suitable slot on the control console.

- Choose in the library (that can be extended by the user) the material type, geometry and hardness, the type of band to be used and the control automatically sets: position of the cutting head , feed rate and the blade rotation speed.

OTHER FEATURES:

- 8” touch screen display operator interface and push buttons for all functions of the sawing machine. It is simple and intuitive, with a self-learning feature it guarantees a reliable use and it controls all cutting parameters in real time.

- Automatic acquisition of the actual starting point of the cut.

- Cutting head downfeed movement with 2 brushless motors and with recirculating ballscrews-nut, with hydraulic compensation of the cutting head.

- Infinitely adjustable cutting speed from 15 to 200 m/min by vector inverter.

- Bar feeder with recirculating balls, screw/nut and stepper motor (feeding length in one stroke 760 mm or 30” that can be repeated in order to cut any length)

- Driving and idler pulley locked by conical clamping ring.

- Software to control/assess/correct in real time: cutting force, cutting torque and band tensioning against the programmed values.

- Adjustable blade guide blocks. This system, that guides the blade, is a combination of pre-charged rollers and carbide inserts.

- Blade deviation device.

- Laser projector to position the bar accurately to carry out non-standard or facing cuts.

- Electro-mechanical servo-system for the blade dynamic tensioning.

- Blade cooling with lubricating oil by means of two coolant pumps. Each pump has a 120l/min flow rate.

- Powered blade brush.

- Chip conveyor.
