Behringer Saws Inc. has introduced a new high-performance circular cold saw built to maximize production cutting of a variety of ferrous metals.

The new Eisele PSU 450M Circular Cold Saw can be programmed to automatically and accurately replicate cuts in iron and steel based materials to improve a company’s operational cutting efficiencies while reducing labor and material costs.

Controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC), the PSU 450M requires minimal operator intervention once running with the ability to store up to 10 numerically controlled program applications each with 3 sets, which can also be recalled to provide time and labour cost savings on future cuts. With each set, the number of pieces to cut, cutting length and one miter angle cut on each end of the finished material can be saved. Additionally, all movements can be performed manually.

The versatile saw has a miter angle adjustment to cut materials at infinitely variable angles and has fixed stops at 45º and 90º. The PSU450M can cut solid rounds up to 5.7 in. (144 mm) at 45º and 5.9 in. (149 mm) at 90º, squares up to 4.92 in. (124 mm) x 4.92 in. (124 mm) (45°) and 5.5 in. (139 mm) (90°) and rectangles up to 7.09 in. (180 mm) x 1.97 in. (50 mm) (45°) and 8.6 in. (218 mm) x 2.76 in. (70 mm) (90°).

The saw can be set to cut at 28/56/112/224 SFM and can perform a single cut (semi-automatic) or single bar cuts (automatic) depending upon the operator’s task. This new saw utilizes blades with diameters ranging from 13.7 in. (347 mm) to 17.7 in. (449 mm) and cuts efficiently through the toughest metals quickly and cleanly reducing the need for secondary post-cut operations.

The PSU 450M is also designed with a NC controlled linear guided gripper feed unit with adjustable clamping pressure, which is driven by a servomotor, ball screw spindle and encoder with a single stroke capacity of 58.25 in. (1.4 m). Automatic material recognition occurs at the beginning and end of the bar.

For operator safety, the PSU 450M comes with large protective hoods with Plexiglas windows for good visibility and to prevent material or fluid dispersal. Limit switches on the machine shut down power to the saw blade when a hood is opened.
