ARG 300 plus E.H.

Manufactured by PILOUS, the ARG 300 plus E.H. is a hydraulic-gravitation band saw designed for continuous industrial operation and professional workshop environments. It combines advanced closed-section arm construction, bilateral mitre flexibility and hydraulic arm uplift, delivering improved workflow efficiency and structural precision.

Positioned as an enhanced hydraulic version of the ARG 300 Plus platform, this model offers mechanical robustness with semi-assisted operation for higher productivity.

Overview

The ARG 300 plus E.H. operates with gravity-controlled feed into the cut, regulated by an oil damper butterfly valve for fine adjustment. After completion of the cut:

• The band drive switches off automatically
• The arm lifts hydraulically to the preset height
• The machine is ready for the next operation

The hydraulic unit significantly reduces operator fatigue, particularly in repetitive cutting series. The uplift height is adjustable according to workpiece dimensions.

The vice system enables continuous bilateral mitre adjustment:

• Up to 60° to the right
• Up to 45° to the left

The rotating turntable moves together with the saw band, preventing blade contact with the vice loading surface during angular cutting.

Key points

• Hydraulic automatic arm uplift
• Closed-section hollow cast-iron arm design
• Manual gravitation feed with oil damper regulation
• Bilateral mitre cutting: 60° right / 45° left
• Two-speed motor: 40 / 80 m/min (400 V)
• Optional frequency converter (15–90 m/min) – E.H.F. version
• Industrial band size 27 × 0.9 mm
• Massive quick-clamping vice system
• Integrated cooling system with independent regulation
• Adjustable workpiece stop with 250 mm scale

The E.H. configuration enhances comfort and versatility within the hydraulic-gravitation category.

Technical advantages

Advanced arm construction

The modern cast-iron arm forms a hollow closed section along all load-bearing points. This ensures:

• Outstanding structural stiffness
• Maximum cutting precision
• Reduced vibration
• Long saw blade service life

Electrical wiring and coolant lines are concealed within the arm, protecting them from mechanical damage.

The hinged rear cover simplifies saw band replacement and internal cleaning.

Hydraulic productivity

Automatic hydraulic uplift accelerates workflow during medium production runs. Adjustable uplift height allows adaptation to various material sizes.

This configuration reduces manual effort while maintaining the mechanical simplicity of gravitation feed.

Cutting performance

The standard three-phase two-speed motor (40 / 80 m/min) supports material-based speed selection.

The ARG 300 PLUS E.H.F. version integrates a frequency converter enabling continuous blade speed regulation between 15–90 m/min (2.2 kW motor), optimizing cutting parameters for:

• Carbon steel
• Stainless steel
• Tool steel
• Structural profiles

Speed optimization directly enhances accuracy and blade longevity.

Structural durability

The machine framework is composed of grey cast iron castings, guaranteeing excellent vibration absorption and long-term dimensional stability.

Large-diameter running wheels and precise three-side hardened steel blade guides ensure accurate tracking and extended blade life.

The overdimensioned bearing and tensioning systems increase overall mechanical reliability.

Applications

The ARG 300 plus E.H. is suitable for:

• Continuous production facilities
• Fabrication workshops
• Maintenance departments
• Structural steel processing
• Frame and profile mitre cutting
• Stainless and tool steel applications

Its hydraulic assistance makes it ideal for environments requiring higher efficiency without full automation complexity.

Why choose the ARG 300 plus E.H.

If your operation requires:

• Hydraulic support for repetitive cutting
• Bilateral mitre flexibility
• Structural rigidity and stability
• Optional frequency-controlled speed optimization
• Reliable European manufacturing quality

The ARG 300 plus E.H. provides a balanced solution combining durability, precision and workflow efficiency.

Within ANATECO’s portfolio, this model positions as a premium hydraulic-gravitation band saw for professional metalworking facilities seeking enhanced productivity and control.

Accessories

Workpiece stop – Standard equipment

Simple stop for setting the required length of the material to be cut.

Frequency converter

Enables continuous blade speed regulation between 15–90 m/min. and thus setting the optimum cutting conditions for the given material.

Pressure device

Used to clamp the bundles of material to be cut. Ensures simple and reliable material clamping using a vertical contact pressure.

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.

Workpiece stop 500 mm

Robust stop with a 500mm scale for setting the required length of the material to be cut.

Cleaning brush KDM

Steel cleaning brush, driven by driving wheel. Used to remove chips from the saw band behind the cut.

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.
