Solution for Cutting Pipes



"BEHRINGER offers the HBE411A from its Dynamic series, suited for sawing pipes due to its unique cutting pressure control," said a company spokesperson.

"The HBE Dynamic series addresses increasingly stringent market demands for ever more efficient, more economical and more precise sawing machines. Increased performance coupled with reduced energy consumption, lower space requirement without compromising occupational safety or handling simplicity: these were just some of the stipulations followed by the development process," said CEO Christian Behringer. The new HBE Dynamic series is available in different model types from 260 mm up to 1,060 mm cutting capacity, covering applications in the steel trade, machine and tool building and in metalworking businesses.

The HBE series comes as standard with features designed to increase cutting performance and tool life when sawing tubes and profiles. By its Cutting-Pressure-Control, which detects the applied cutting pressure directly at the back of the saw blade, the HBE series regulates the downfeed rates according to the engagement length of the saw blade. "Compared to machines without cutting pressure control, more than 30% higher blade life times are achieved with higher overall cutting performance," said the spokesperson.

Minimum Rest Piece Length with Optimum Fixing

Given the rising price of materials, achieving smallest possible rest piece lengths can also be a major benefit. Because achieving this key benefit should not be allowed to compromise clamping safety, the HBE Dynamic series from BEHRINGER comes with a double vise as standard. The less movement occurs during machining, the better the alignment and angular accuracy. More even clamping also means a more precise cut. Material bundles and packages in particular, but also thin-walled pipes, are ideally fixed while a mechanical stop enables rest pieces to be almost completely sawn, so saving costly material.

Energy Efficiency

Resource-saving production, sustainability and energy efficiency are key topics today. The rising cost of energy is driving manufacturers to rethink their existing processes and make use of technological innovations to develop new solutions that will enable higher output to be coupled with lower energy input. "With the new HBE Dynamic series, we have proven that energy efficiency and high-powered hydraulics are not a contradiction in terms," said Behringer. "The use of modern frequency-controlled drive systems from key manufacturers and gearing ratios specifically configured for purpose mean that simply specifying the kilowatt output of a motor is far from being a guarantee of high cutting output nowadays," said the spokesperson.

The HBE Dynamic's feed gripper is designed in a rugged gantry version and mounted in floating bearings. It moves along a closed roller conveyor - a key benefit when machining shorter cuts. Because re-gripping is only necessary in this machine after a 600 mm cutting length, this saves valuable non-productive time.

Process Reliability

Lowering the saw frame prior to the cut is performed in the HBE Dynamic using a proven technology designed to ensure the utmost process reliability. Instead of an electronic sensor or manual entry of the height information, the height is detected by a mechanical T-bar that brings the rapid lowering movement to a stop as soon as it senses the upper edge of the material. The engineers gave process reliability clear priority over the use of susceptible electronic systems, since these machines are frequently automated and need to provide trouble-free operation when operating unattended.
