The ARG 300 CF-NC Automat is a fully automated CNC band saw engineered for heavy-duty industrial production. Featuring a redesigned hollow cast-iron arm, servo-driven precision feed, programmable touchscreen control and frequency-controlled blade speed, it delivers maximum accuracy, stability and efficiency in continuous metal cutting operations.
Manufactured by PILOUS, the ARG 300 CF-NC Automat is the next-generation CNC automatic evolution of the legendary ARG 300 CF-NC series. Featuring a completely redesigned high-rigidity arm and a fully integrated servo-controlled feeding system, this model is engineered for large production batches, heavy cross-sections and continuous industrial operation.
Designed for demanding environments where uptime, accuracy and automation efficiency are critical, the ARG 300 CF-NC delivers advanced performance with structural strength.
Overview
At the core of the ARG 300 CF-NC Automat is a newly engineered cast-iron arm forming a hollow closed section along all load-bearing points. This design ensures:
All electrical wiring and coolant lines are integrated within the hollow arm structure, protecting critical components from mechanical damage.
The machine is equipped with an industrial servomotor-driven feeding system paired with a precision ball screw mechanism. This guarantees:
Three programmable feed rates (27 / 42 / 50 mm/s) are selectable according to workpiece dimensions and weight. Maximum single feed length reaches 500 mm.
The system is designed for uninterrupted heavy-duty production.
CNC precision and repeatability
The CNC control unit allows programming of up to 60 cutting programs, each configurable for feed length and batch quantity. Programs can be annotated (e.g. by drawing number), simplifying repetitive production management.
Different piece lengths and quantities can be programmed in sequence without further operator intervention.
The “floating” feed vice ensures accurate feeding even when cutting irregular or rough workpieces.
Frequency-controlled cutting optimization
The integrated frequency converter enables continuous blade speed adjustment between 15 and 90 m/min, allowing optimal cutting conditions for:
Correct speed selection directly enhances cutting precision and blade longevity.
Structural durability and stability
The machine framework is constructed entirely from grey cast iron castings combined with a massive feeding system structure.
Large base dimensions and reinforced design provide:
Large-diameter blade wheels and three-side hardened steel guides ensure precise band tracking and extended blade life.
Overdimensioned bearings and rotary components further increase machine longevity.
Integrated cooling and safety
The complete cooling system includes a high-performance pump with independent flow regulation at both guiding heads and an additional adjustable outlet.
The base houses a large removable chip container, with option for worm-type chip conveyor installation.
Blade tension monitoring ensures automatic shutdown in case of blade breakage, protecting the machine and operator.
The ARG 300 CF-NC Automat is ideal for:
It is particularly suited for high-volume, high-precision cutting operations requiring automation and reliability.
If your production demands:
The ARG 300 CF-NC Automat provides a robust, high-performance solution for advanced industrial metal cutting.
Within ANATECO’s portfolio, this model positions as a premium CNC automatic bandsaw for large-scale industrial operations requiring accuracy, productivity and durability.
Frequency converter – Standard equipment
Enables continuous blade speed regulation between 15–90 m/min. and thus setting the optimum cutting conditions for the given material.
Rinse spray gun – Standard equipment
For cleaning working space of the machine.
Hydraulic pressure device NC
Used to clamp bundles of material to be cut. It provides reliable clamping with hydraulically operated vertical pressure, working within the machine’s cycle. It is installed on the fixed vice and feeding vice.
Material chute KL
Continuously joins the vice behind the cut and allows for easy slide of cut pieces into a container when cutting larger series. The chute construction consisting of 2 parts prevents leakage of the coolant.
Halogen lamp LA
Provides good lighting of the workplace of the machine. An invaluable tool especially when the lighting at the workplace is insufficient.
Oil mist lubrication MM
Creates an oil mist that is sprayed onto the cutting edge. It replaces the use of a classic coolant, especially when cutting sections during which leakages may occur. Possibility of using organic oils.
Laser alignment LS
High-quality industrial laser projects the cutting line on the material to be cut. Makes the setting of the required material length simpler, faster and more accurate.
Screw chips conveyor SD
Ensures smooth removal of chips from the machine. Reduces the time needed for the cleaning of the machine especially when cutting series of full materials producing large amount of chips.
Saw band tension indicator CD
Ensures accurate tensioning of the saw band to a required value according to the pressure gauge and its control during the use of the machine. Optimum tensioning of the saw band is essential for its service life and cutting accuracy.
Chip container SDB
For easy handling is chip container equiped with wheels and swivel chip bin.
Chip separator
The chip separator is a galvanized, finely perforated container for efficient collection of sawdust that has passed through a sieve in the base. This container is easily removable when filled and is easy to clean outside the machine.
Magnetic chip separator
For particularly fine chips that have passed through the sieves in the saw, a highly efficient magnetic separator is used. It saves time for cleaning and disassembling the cooling path and extends the service life of the cooling emulsion. This device is easily removable and easy to clean outside the machine by simply pulling the magnetic bars out of the housing.
