Semi-Automatic Metal Bandsaw CORMAK S440R

CORMAK S440R – Semi-Automatic Metal Cutting Bandsaw with Digital Angle Display

CORMAK S440R is a semi-automatic metal cutting bandsaw designed for cutting pipes, profiles, structural sections and solid materials. The PLC controller, hydraulic workpiece clamping and saw arm position memory reduce manual operations between successive cutting cycles. This metal cutting bandsaw is suitable for production facilities and workshops handling both individual orders and repetitive production runs.

For straight cuts at 90°, the S440R can cut round material up to Ø450mm, rectangular sections up to 620 × 440mm and square sections up to 450 × 450mm. The saw arm swivels in both directions from -60° to +60°, extending its mitre cutting capabilities, while the digital angle display makes it easier to check the setting before starting work.

Key Advantages of the CORMAK S440R Bandsaw

• More efficient handling of successive workpieces – the semi-automatic cycle includes hydraulic workpiece clamping, cutting and saw arm return.
• Reduced unnecessary saw arm movement – the position memory allows the return height to be adjusted to the workpiece cross-section.
• Easier mitre angle adjustment – the digital angle display helps monitor the saw arm position when changing cutting tasks.
• Wide mitre cutting range – swivelling up to 60° to the left and right provides greater flexibility when preparing structural components.
• Stepless blade speed adjustment – the inverter allows speed settings from 20–90m/min.
• Large cross-section cutting capacity – the rectangular cutting capacity of up to 620 × 440mm at 90° allows wide steel sections to be prepared.
• Rigid blade support – the cast iron saw arm and carbide blade guides support stable blade guidance during cutting.
• Easier maintenance of cutting conditions – the powered brush removes swarf from the blade, while the closed-circuit coolant system helps cool the cutting area.

Semi-Automatic Bandsaw with PLC Controller

The CORMAK S440R bandsaw uses a PLC controller to perform a cycle that includes clamping the workpiece, starting the blade, controlled lowering of the saw arm, stopping after the cut and returning to the starting position. The operator prepares the material and machine settings, while the hydraulic system controls the vice clamping and cutting assembly movement.

This arrangement reduces repetitive manual operations when cutting successive lengths. There is no need to lift the heavy saw arm each time or manually perform every stage of the cycle. Material feeding and setting the length of subsequent pieces remain the operator's responsibility, allowing flexible preparation of workpieces of different dimensions.

Saw Arm Position Memory – Faster Preparation for the Next Cut

The saw arm position memory function allows the return height to be adjusted to the size of the workpiece cross-section. When cutting batches of similar components, this reduces unnecessary lifting of the saw arm above the height required to advance the material.

This benefit is particularly noticeable when repeatedly cutting pipes and profiles of the same height. The operator can retain the prepared setting and proceed more efficiently to the next section. A separate control console with an LCD display provides access to the controls from a dedicated operating position.

Metal Cutting Bandsaw with Digital Angle Display

The saw arm swivels in both directions, allowing cuts at angles from -60° to +60°. This enables the CORMAK S440R metal cutting bandsaw to prepare components for angled joints without having to rotate the entire length of a long workpiece.

The digital cutting angle display makes it easier to monitor the saw arm setting and return to previously used angles. This is useful when manufacturing frames, brackets, welded structures and other components where the cutting direction changes between successive operations.

Bandsaw for Cutting Large-Section Pipes and Profiles

CORMAK S440R is suitable as a bandsaw for pipes and profiles being prepared for welding, assembly and further machining. Its large cutting capacity allows a single workstation to handle steel pipes, hollow and open profiles, bars and structural sections.

The hydraulic vice makes it easier to clamp successive workpieces, while the rigid cutting assembly supports their correct positioning relative to the blade. When changing the cross-section, the blade tooth pitch and cutting parameters should be matched to the wall thickness or dimensions of the solid material. This allows the bandsaw to be prepared for a variety of production tasks.

Inverter and Stepless Blade Speed Adjustment from 20–90m/min

The CORMAK S440R bandsaw provides stepless adjustment of blade speed using an inverter. The 20–90m/min range allows the speed to be selected according to the type of metal and recommendations for the fitted blade, rather than being limited to two fixed speeds.

Blade speed and saw arm lowering speed control different aspects of the cutting process. Matching them correctly to the material and blade tooth pitch helps reduce tooth overloading and achieve consistent cutting performance. This is important when alternating between structural steel, stainless steel and tool steel.

Cast Iron Saw Arm, 34mm Blade and Carbide Guides

The CORMAK S440R metal cutting bandsaw uses a blade measuring 5,200 × 34 × 1.1mm. Carbide blade guides support the blade in the working area, helping maintain its position as it passes through the material being cut.

The cast iron saw arm provides rigid support for the cutting assembly and helps reduce the influence of vibration on the cutting process. The robust construction is important when working with larger cross-sections and repeatedly preparing components that require accurate fitting during subsequent assembly.

Powered Blade Cleaning Brush and Closed-Circuit Cooling

The S440R is equipped with a powered blade cleaning brush that removes swarf remaining on the blade. This helps reduce the transfer of debris through the cutting system during successive blade passes.

The closed-circuit liquid cooling system delivers coolant to the cutting area. It assists with the removal of heat and swarf, helping maintain suitable conditions during regular cutting of pipes, profiles and solid materials.

Applications of the CORMAK S440R Bandsaw

The CORMAK S440R semi-automatic metal cutting bandsaw is designed for metalworking workshops, toolrooms, steel fabrication companies and manufacturing facilities. It facilitates the preparation of material sections for welding, assembly, turning and milling.

As a bandsaw for pipes and profiles, it combines a large cutting capacity with the ability to perform mitre cuts in both directions. Hydraulic clamping, saw arm position memory and inverter-controlled blade speed adjustment allow the workstation to be configured for both individual components and repetitive production runs.
