With the 100th anniversary BEHRINGER complemented its product portfolio with the new 3D-Series including two models. The high-performance sawing machines were developed for cutting additively manufactured parts in different sizes and shapes.

Additive Manufacturing, or simply said 3D-Printing, becomes more and more important in nearly all industries. The new processes make it possible to produce simple as well as complex parts in different materials. The additively manufactured parts are printed on a base plate via a supporting structure. 3D-Printing offers many advantages like a higher design flexibility and individualization of the products (keyword batch size 1). To use and process the 3D-printed parts, they have to be detached from the base plate.

The new 3D-Series from BEHRINGER separates the additively manufactured parts from the base plate with the highest cutting precision. Neither the print plate nor the printed parts get damaged due to the high cutting accuracy of the BEHRINGER band sawing machines. The 3D-Series includes the two models HBE320-523 3D and LPS-T 3D.

Highest sawing precision even with large cutting dimensions

No matter whether steel, aluminum, titanium and nickel-based alloys or plastics – the 3D-saws from BEHRINGER cut all additively manufactured parts in different sizes and shapes without any problems. As the fixture can be individually manufactured to customer requirements, high flexibility is guaranteed.

The HBE320-523 3D, based on the existing and established HBE Dynamic Series, offers a fixture for small and medium-sized plates up to 500 x 300 mm. A simple and quick set-up process and compact machine dimensions are advantages of this model.

The LPS-T 3D demonstrates its strengths when sawing larger printing plates. The vertical design of the machine with a freely accessible machine table ensures an easy loading and handling of big and heavy base plates. Especially when cutting steel or other difficult-to-cut materials the standard servo feed system provides a steady saw feed movement which helps to ensure a quiet and stable cutting process. This results in high cutting per-formance and blade life for the machine.

With the blade deflection monitoring system and its adjustable thresholds both models of the BEHRINGER 3D-Series ensure highest sawing precision.

The sawing of additively manufactured printed parts with a minimized supporting structured is made possible. In addition, different cooling- and lubricating systems optimize the sawing of various materials.

Simplified setup

The fixture of both models is moveable, which ensures easy loading and handling. Due to the standard zero-point stop sys-tem, manual positioning by the operator is not necessary. By aligning to the base plate, the swiveling zero stop simplifies the set-up operation and also reduces sources of errors.

Safety features

Both the HBE320-523 3D and the LPS-T 3D offer the option of a machine housing with an optional evacuation system to extract oils, aerosol mists, vapors or metal dust. This ensures that no substances at risk of health get into the working environment.

Three well established industry leaders have partnered together in order to provide their combined know-how to steel fabricators’ and distributors’ worldwide.

Vernet Behringer, an innovative manufacturer of dedicated production lines for the steel industry, Behringer GmbH, one of the world leaders in sawing solutions and Rösler Oberflächentechnik GmbH the world’s leading manufacturer of surface finishing technology, including preservation lines, have allied their competencies in order to provide turnkey installations that combine machining, sawing and shot blasting equipment.  Worldwide, 1,700 employees are committed to serve end users through a close meshed network of local offices and external sales agencies.

High precision sawing technologies combined with high performance machining lines are the core competencies of Behringer and Vernet Behringer.  By linking these systems with Rösler shot blasting equipment, we can thus offer complete turn-key lines with optimized production flows, avoiding common interface problems that occur with other vendors.

From the early phases of your project, our common technical approach ensures an optimal engineering in terms of earnings, productivity and quality so that you are offered the best possible return on investment. Major players in the steel industry already trust every day the know-how of our specialists.

Opening up new fields of business, extending the performance spectrum or replacing an old machine – these are among the most frequent reasons given by users for investing in an up-to-date, more efficient mitre sawing machine. With its newly presented model from the HBE series, BEHRINGER is offering the perfect way of combining the benefits of modern high-performance machines for one-off sawing tasks with the solid, tried and tested characteristics of a classical mitre saw. “We deliberately integrated various features from our BEHRINGER high-end models into this machine, raising the HBE320-523G into a class of its own – and all at an optimized cost-to-performance ratio”, says the company’s CEO Christian Behringer with confidence. High cutting outputs, simple handling and precise angular cuts are among the key attributes of the new BEHRINGER mitre-cutting bandsaw HBE320-523G.

With its extensive application spectrum, it reliably covers the wide-ranging requirements of metalworking workshops, the profile steel trade and machine builders. “Even small and medium-sized operations in these fields are reliant on their sawing machines dividing a wide range of different materials with optimum process reliability, to a high standard of quality and at high speed”, summarizes Christian Behringer. With a cutting range in flat materials of 520 x 320 mm, bilateral mitre cuts of 45° and up to 30° on the left, this machine is the perfect all-rounder for all kinds of sawing operations. “For reasons of cost and flexibility, profiles are generally purchased in starting lengths of up to 12 metres and then sawn to size”, he adds. The new mitre cutting bandsaw is easily able to cope with both structural steels and stainless steel profiles.

In design terms, the new mitre saw has many features in common with the HBE Dynamic series, which has already proved a resounding success. The guidance system in its torsionally rigid gantry design and the bilateral band wheel bearings ensure quiet running and precise cuts. The band guiding components are made of vibration-damping grey cast iron, which has a highly positive impact on the quality of the cut surface, but also makes for a longer blade life. Electrically powered chip brushes clean the saw blade of adhering chips synchronously with the saw drive system – an added bonus in terms of process reliability.

The tilt of the band wheels helps prolong the life of bandsaw blades by reducing fatigue due to cyclical bending. A fully automatic height adjustment facility for the saw frame depending on the material height and lowering of the saw when in rapid traverse help cut non-productive time to a minimum.

The inclined position of the bandsaw blade allows components such as girders, angled steel and U profiles as well as hollow rectangular profiles to be sawn at higher speed and with less burr.

The sawing unit is mounted for easy turning in generously dimensioned axial roller bearings and can be swivelled with a simple manual action. The closed material table simplifies material handling directly at the cutting point. The machine comes with a microspraying system as standard.

The machine can be supplemented as required with infeed and discharge roller conveyors, measuring devices and cross conveying systems, as well as NC angular adjustment. Behringer GmbH supplies these highly process-reliable customized transport solutions from its own in-house steel production facilities.
